Are you looking for a new
Nintendo Switch game to play? It’s well know that Nintendo consoles are made to facilitate
games like Zelda and Mario, but there’s a surprising number of
indie games available as well. The nice thing about independent developers is that the
games are cheaper and the developers have a lot more creative freedom in exploring new ideas and gameplay. Here are our top 3 best
Nintendo Switch games from indie developers on the
Nintendo Switch:
1. Stardew Valley – This addictive game was developed by just one guy, and it’s popularity has exceeded all expectations. The concept is simple; build a farm, get to know some of the local residents and simply relax and enjoy the quiet life. This game has a lot of tiny details and sweet moments that add to its charm.
2. Slay The Spire – Deck-building
games and rogue-likes are popular genres in indie gaming at the moment, and
Slay The Spire successfully combines both. This new and addictive card-battling game allows you to build your own deck and climb the spire while battling weird and wacky monsters.
3. Lovers In A Dangerous Spacetime – If you’re after a local co-op, this eccentric game is our recommendation. Play with up to 4 players, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a manic load of fun that gamers of all experiences can enjoy. Players cooperate to man a spaceship (someone on guns, someone on shields, someone driving) to fight a mass of aliens and robots and save the adorable space bunnies. The soundtrack is also an absolute treat.
