• Hey everyone, staff have documented a list of banned content and subject matter that we feel are not consistent with site values, and don't make sense to host discussion of on Famiboards. This list (and the relevant reasoning per item) is viewable here.

Fun Club What are your favorite indie games on Switch (that AREN'T these titles)?

Azure Striker Gunvolt! Developed by Inti Creates, developers of the Mega Man Zero series. Game is very Mega Man inspired but has some new mechanics that are pretty cool.
 
I have it on Wii but Cave Story is on Switch and it’s pretty much the reason why indie games started to be on my radar since then. Another one I have on Wii that’s also available on Switch is World of Goo, both were definitely seen as must-haves

One that was on Wii that I played on Switch is La-Mulana, a very good Metroidvania/puzzle game. If you think games don’t make you get lost anymore or that puzzles are too easy, then this game delivers for sure

As for more recent indie games that I liked on Switch:

- Slay the Spire, don’t really have much to add, this game should have been on your list in the first place. Same with Dead Cells

- Baba is You, very original puzzle game. Just check out the first minute of gameplay and if it doesn’t sell you idk what to say

- Crosscode is a very good 2d top down action RPG set in a fictional MMO. It has dungeons with lots of puzzles in them, I wouldn’t say they quite scratch the itch of Zelda dungeons because they are mostly a series of individual puzzle rooms and also because the battles are separate from the puzzles. The game also kind of has pacing issues at times and has a very steady difficulty curve, it can kind of feel exhausting to play at some points. Even then, it’s still a very solid game because unlike the many AAA games that are also action RPGs full of sidequests, Crosscode brings some much needed player agency in the mix with its puzzles, platforming and action combat. Definitely look it up if you feel like playing something more meaty

- Talos Principle is a solid puzzle game

- Return of the Obra Dinn is a solid detective game, definitely deserves the accolades it got

All of the above are still pretty well known so if you want something more out of left field, I have enjoyed Horace as well. I got it last year when it was on sale for 2$. It had a couple of rave reviews, including a few perfect scores. I bought it after watching the first 30 minutes of a longplay, I thought I definitely needed to give it a try after hearing the classical music and noticing that Peanuts reference. It’s basically a story driven platformer adventure separated in multiple chapters, you play as a robot. It has a lot of clever moments and fourth wall breaks. It was made by two guys and has a lot of British humor. It might not be quite as polished as some of the games on your list but it’s still a good game that has a lot of the appeal that people usually associate to indie games
 
Slay the Spire and Into the Breach are examples of games that are perfect in everything they try to achieve.

To name something different, which happens to be usually on sale, I highly recommend Yokus Island Express. It's a pimball adventure game with metroodvania progression and loads of charm. Surprinsingly, it works.

  • Mundaun - Super interesting first person horror game from this year: completely pencil drawn, placed in the swiss alps, full of alp folklore and voice acted in a language that is only spoken by 30’000 people IRL. Don‘t know about the performance on switch though.
  • To The Moon - Amazing port of the 2011 indie darling with updated graphics. Its sequel Finding Paradise should be heading to switch too.
  • Human Ressource Machine and the sequel 7 Billion Humans - programming puzzles in an apocalyptic setting from the makers of Little Inferno. Plus they are one of those few games where you can use your joycons like a wii remote!
  • The Touryst - Very nice looking Voxel Adventure game from the developers of Fast RMX
  • Portal Bridge Constructor - bridge building game mixed with some Glados lines if you are into it.

There are many aout of that list:
Steam world dig 2- one of the best metroidvania out there
Griftlands- Card game with rpg elements and a good story
Steredenn- one of my favourite shoot em ups on the switch( quite hard)
Sky rogue- air combat rougelike
Dusk - a quake like shooter
Graceful Explosion machine- shoot em up with great controls and very balanced challange
Horizon chase turbo- best racing game on the switch after mario kart ( even better the cruisin...sorry nate)
Infini- a puzzle game full of surpises...and ahidden gem in this list
Plus as many have said: Slay the spire is in my opinion in the top 10 games on the switch.
 
Some of my favourites:
Steamworld Dig 2
Huntdown
Cyber Shadow
The Swindle
Shovel Knight
The Mummy Demastered
Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King
Subsurface Circular
Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 1/2
Timespinner
Bomb Chicken
Into the Breach

If I were to pick a top 3, it would be Shovel Knight, Into the Breach and then probably Huntdown.

Loop hero came out recently on Switch and it’s a pretty fantastic game, you basically are placing enemies for the hero instead of playing as them

Well, you didn't exclude Shovel Knight, so that

Seriously, such a complete package. It easily surpasses the games that inspired it imo
 
A good one that I don't think anyone has mentioned is Monster Prom, if you're into dating sims. Some of the dialogues are hilarious.

Glad to see Baba Is You already got a mention. Stunningly creative puzzle game based on rewriting the rules of the levels.

Overcooked is party game perfection.

Mechstermination Force is a fantastic boss-rush Contra-like.
 
Note: I mean no offense or to put a game down by comparing to to its predecessor. It’s just the fasted way to give an idea of what the game is like and in a lot of instances, is a contributing factor to why I personally like them.

Astalon: Tears of the Earth - metriodvania/very fun. Has secrets, mild puzzles and you switch between multiple characters. There’s a bit of grinding to do, it can be a bit of chore until you unlock the elevator (the save rooms are sparse and take backtracking to areas where you die/left off without it ), and you’ll probably need a wiki on what to buy in the shop since it doesn really describe it and your funds are low if you don’t grid—but it’s still fun and addictive, lol! A personal favorite of mine that came out this year.
Skul: The Hero Slayer - rougelite that’s super fun and addictive. Little skeleton dude is adorable and I love how his appearance changes every time you upgrade him.
Blasphemous - metroidvania that’s kinda hard but not as hard as it looks…? As a ton of awesome, free dlc, including an 8-bit classicvania mini game.
Bumpy n Dumpy - puzzle game where you destroy blocks. It’s simple and fun.
Pix the Cat - sorta like Pac Man or snake, it’s been a while. It’s a fun puzzle game though.
Freedom Plant - it’s like a 2D Sonic game that does it’s own thing. Sequel coming next year that seems stuffed with content (story mode like the original game, arcade mode, various mini games…)
Odallus: The Dark Call - leans towards the linear Castlevania territory, though with more story (simple but good) and power-ups/upgrades.
Demons of Astaborg - old school action platformer that seems like a lost Sega Genesis title. Awesome but pricy ($30 bucks usually)
Panzer Paladin - Mega Man meets Ducktales meets Blaster Master with a touch of Castlevania. Has a weapon creator mode (you can design a weapon/give it stats that your character can get and use in the main game) and a ton of stages.
Steel Assault - it’s fast paced like Contra but more forgiving and has way mor movesets. It’s a very short Arcade experience though. Music is great.
Cyber Ninja - comparable/clearly inspired by Ninja Gaiden but like Freedom Planet, has enough of it’s own ‘thing’ to be its own game. Gets pretty brutal in the later stages, but more fair overall to me than NG.
The Messenger - interesting mix of classic platformer and metriodvania that switches between 8-bit and 16-bit
Gunvolt series - fast paced action platformer games closer to the later Mega Man/MMZ 2D titles. Also had two 8-bit entries that are like classic MM (1-10) titles, though I think only the second one, Mighty Gunvolt Burst, is on Switch.
Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 1 & 2 - linear Castlevania titles in all but name. Love em.
Alwa’s Awakening and Alwa’s Legacy - addictive metroidvanias that are easy and fun to play. Final dungeons are a bit of a spike though.
Blazing Chrome - Need a Contra fix? Play this.
River City Girls - Super fun beat’em-up with upgrades and a fun characters. Nice music and great graphics, sequel coming next year.
Streets of Rage 4 if it counts.
 
Co-signing Kaze, Splasher, Yoku, Monster Boy, Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, UnderHero, Tangle Tower, A Short Hike and Bug Fables.

A few not mentioned yet.

F38AC168DD7DA2BB61504E7A0DC24E180E7AAE0E


Broken Age - epic Point-and-Click with ingenious, fiendish puzzles, hilarious dialogue and compelling characters and story



Kyub - mind-bending 3D puzzler with a Nintendo-esque plethora of imaginative twists on its core gameplay

The Gardens Between - affecting puzzle-platformer with engaging rewind gameplay

Hue - puzzle platformer with clever but not frustrating color-based puzzles, for fans of Thomas Was Alone and BOXBOY!!

New Super Lucky's Tale - I've only played the original version for Xbox One but I really enjoyed this colorful and engaging 3D platformer.

Aggelos - classically-aesthetic Metroidvania with a satisfying mix of discovery and Wonder Boy-ness.



and spotlight on... Wuppo - adorable, clever and wonderful Metroidvania with a delightful, rich and hilarious world

First, here's the launch trailer to give you a good idea of what the game is like, since screens don't quite do its storybook aesthetic justice:



Also, thanks to francium87 for reminding me that Wuppo was the #1 Steam hidden gem as determined by algorithm in 2017.

Wuppo is one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences I've had in a long time. [/B]I've only seen a few mentions of it on Era. Epilexia was kind enough to recommend the game to me last October in the eShop thread (sadly the game is not available on Switch). I hope that changes sometime because if ever a game came to mind for me as befitting the "perfect for Switch" meme, this would be it with its Nintendo fan-friendly aesthetic and humor.

wuppo_screenshot_hd1ddkr8.png


So let me say I love Paper Mario in all of its forms, including its recent polarizing iterations. To me the most funny and surprising Paper Mario game was Super Paper Mario. Wuppo embodies the spirit of a Nintendo game for me, and it especially feels like a spiritual successor to SPM. It's funny in the same way that game is funny. It's also surprisingly poignant in the same kind of way SPM was (#Bleck was right).

You play as a wum, a roundish little individual that sits around the wumhouse all day watching TV. Your adventure starts when the siren call of a delectable ice cream cone brings you to the front desk of your apartment complex.

wuppo_screenshot_hd15fmje3.png


For a Metroidvania-ish-thingie, or as I like to call it a Cutetroidvania™, this game offers some very diverse locales to visit. What I love about Cutetroidvanias and Metroidvanias in general is the interesting places you get to go and the new game mechanics which allow you to visit them.

So, the interesting places you visit include:

-Popo City, an underground socialist city
-Wondersplenk, an amusement park
-The cradle of primitive civilization
-The ends of our very dimension
-And more!

wuppo_screenshot_hd4kzjrf.png


As you go you'll meet all kinds of fascinating and hilarious characters. You know the part of Paper Mario Color Splash (that none of you heathens played) where you meet the Shy Guy with the existential crisis? A lot of the NPCs in Wuppo are similarly unique, offbeat and endearing. The dialogue trees are endlessly captivating to read through. Another thing I really like about 2D adventure games is the NPCs you meet. I love reading through their various dialogue and seeing what happens if you say unusual things to them. The main character in Wuppo is hilariously expressive in his reactions which just adds to the joy of playing the game. You also have a partner character on hand commentating on the action at times, and to an enjoyable degree, without being overbearing.

Per Unseen64, inspirations for the game include not only Paper Mario but also Rayman 2 and 3, Undertale, Mass Effect and Banjo-Tooie, especially in terms of interacting with the world and its inhabitants. I think all of these influences shine through in interesting ways.

wuppo_screenshot_hd7qkkid.png


Like SPM, the focus isn't on action but on exploration, platforming and 2D adventure game logic. You traverse the world, learn new moves, figure your way around some open dungeon-y type areas, meet interesting characters, and partake in some combat here and there. There is some backtracking to be done, and the world feels open and connected in an organic and incredibly well thought out way.

wuppo_screenshot_hd14xvjiz.png


When action does come to the fore, it's mainly in the form of boss battles. These are a 2D twin stick bullet hell style of boss battles. Let me just say the game offers a difficulty setting you can change at any time. I was tempted to switch to Easy on a couple occasions but resisted and managed to make it through the game on Normal. I am seriously terrible at bullet hell games, but the bosses are so fun and creative that I am glad I powered through and was able to beat all of the main and secret bosses on offer, including the one that only shows up during a certain time of year.

wuppo_screenshot_hd16rvkla.png


Another thing I enjoy is Sidequests. The major sidequest in Wuppo is collecting filmstrips. (There are a whole bunch of others, too.) What's awesome about these filmstrips is that they're the main form of entertainment of the inhabitants of the world of Wuppo, so in collecting them you get to learn more about the game lore (delicious, delectable LORE), you get to watch a hilariously crudely drawn filmstrip, and you see how the characters who man the little theaters react to what's shown on film. One of these characters for example refuses to watch a diary filmstrip with you, but at a different screening area the character will think reading someone's diary is about the funniest thing ever.

wuppo_screenshot_hd60ek36.png


Also the game has some primitive cro-magnon characters that are basically talking flowers, and their dialogue and attempts at making filmstrips are legit LOL-worthy.

There is also a vast array of mini games, from taking up a newspaper delivery job, to competing in tests of wum pinballing, to muddy volleyball deep in a sinkhole forgotten by civilization.

How long is this game?

HLTB estimates 8.5 hours main story, 14 completionist. I'm guessing we put in a good 20 hours to 99.5% the game, and that's with barely touching an optional side mode.
 
Shovel Knight, Monster Train, Baba is You, and Slay the Spire are the first four that come to mind.
 
I highly recommend mechstermination force if you like boss rush games, its a lot of fun.
Dicey dungeons is a pretty good roguelite.
And if you want a soothing game play inbento, has a lot of great puzzles and a very cute artstyle
 
Owlboy was the first Switch indie that really knocked me over.

Horace really caught me off guard and I think as time goes on I'll be looking back on that experience more and more.

The Messenger was rad, though that borders on the "well-known," so I'll preemptively call out Sea of Stars in its place (because I know I'm gonna love it)

This year I really got sucked into the back-to-back home runs that are Alwa's Awakening and Alwa's Legacy.

Fe was a very immersive, haunting, emotional experience for me, simple as it may have been. So much life and imagination in that world they built.

And this is a weird pick but I want to shout-out Inner Space, because there was something about how all aspects of the game came together, from the visual design to the environments and the minimalist music and sound, it's one of those "more than the sum of its parts" type of things. I felt isolated and cold but I'm a way that made me want to search the world out, like I was really exploring. It's weird.

Some of my Switch indie favorites in no order:

Baba Is You
Murder By Numbers
Ender Lillies
Golf Story (odd omission by OP)
Shantae and the Seven Sirens
Blossom Tales
Axiom Verge 1 + 2
What The Golf?
Touhou Luna Nights
Toem
Momodora Reverie Under The Moon Light
Minoria
Gato Roboto
Rabi-Ribi
A Short Hike

Not sure how you feel about HAL qualifying, but a quick shoutout to Box Boy and Box Girl and Part Time UFO as well which have the indie spirit. Also it was featured in today’s indie world so I guess it counts, River City Girls is excellent too.

The only problem I have with Mechstermination Force is that it doesn't support HD Rumble, or any rumble at all. To me, it feels so strange to play a game like that without it. OTOH, it's a budget-priced game, and well worth asked price.

Does Torchlight 2 count as indie? It's a very competent Diablo-like with an absolutely fantastic Switch port. Avoid 3 like the plague though
 
0
Two indie games I don’t see mentioned as often are Into the Breach and Flinthook. The former is perhaps my favourite tactics game of all time, the latter is an extremely fun roguelite with, who would have guessd it, a hookshot.
 
I really enjoyed Void Bastards, the other roguelite I was able to beat (the first one being Hades) and games like Huntdown, Panzer Paladin, and What the Golf. Enter the Gungeon has an amazing gameplay loop but I ended up dropping it because of, well, my usual troubles with roguelikes

Considering that my hype level for 2022 is pretty low, this year may be the year I play indie games or titles from the previous years that I have not played yet. I will take many of your suggestions under consideration.

I had heard A Short Hike is pretty good. And I still have Hades, Celeste, Ori and Undertale pending.

How is Axiom Verge 2? Is it worth it? It's long since I played the first one in PS4, and that game reminded me why I love Metroid games.

A Short Hike is amazing, but very short. You can beat it in less than two hours. Never played Axiom Verge 2, but the reviews were mostly positive.

The Silver Case & The 25th Ward. Suda51's immersive text adventure duo made with tiny dev teams that relies so much on its atmosphere, music, art and writing.

The Good Life. SWERY's best game since Deadly Premonition 1, imo. Absolutely immersed in it. If you enjoy old school 3D adventure games like Shadow of Memories and Shenmue where you meet weird characters, smile at the charm of the characters and try to stick to time schedules of the world to uncover mysteries, check it out.

Inti Creates craft amazing old school Japanese 2D games. Azure Gunvolt as mentioned by others is great and Dragon Marked for Death is so good too. You can tell that they used to be Mega Man devs. I'd love for them to get ahold of/borrow the Rocket Knight license and make a new Rocket Knight Adventures game.

Sonic Mania & Streets of Rage 4 are both pure brilliance.

Astebreed is a really fun 3D Shmup with rail shooter sections.

The Ninja Saviours: Return of the Warriors is one of the best 2D remakes I've ever played. If you enjoy beat 'em ups or remember the classic Irem arcade game Kung-Fu Master, this is the best ever version of that concept.

Contradiction: Spot the Liar is an amazing independent FMV game that reminds me of Cluedo on the Philips CD-i a lot. Really good detective game with an idiosyncratic lead.

Puppet Combo's games really speak to me as a massive fan of 80s horror and PS1 era horror gaming. There's so many and they're so short but well worth checking out if you're a horror fan.

Cuphead is a masterpiece.
 
Without naming too many... here's 5 I really really like, if they're the top 5? I dont know..

A Short Hike
Overcooked 2
Steamworld Dig 2
What Remains of Edith Finch
Mechstermination Force

Best “modern retro” video game this side of Shovel Knight. It’s really quite incredible.

Now this is Cyberpunk. I played it not long after 2077 and while a completely different type of game, it scratched the Cyberpunk itch where 2077 failed with me on almost every level. Loved the gunplay, dialogue, visuals, sound design, throwback bosses, and Brit punk vibe. One hell of a good game.

Panzer Paladin was so much fun to play. Loved the 80's mecha anime art style it had going on in cutscenes as well.



Save Me, Mr. Tako! was another one I enjoyed my time with a lot. Had some surprisingly touching story moments.

CrossCode - because I'm contractually obligated to mention this game whenever possible, because it's a freakin' masterpiece and why don't people talk about it more dammit

Monster Sanctuary - decent Metroidvania, really good turn based combat system

Bug Fables - No I'm not one of those TTYD fans (haven't even played it), it's just a really good game

The Messenger - because Sea of Stars seems to be getting a lot of attention today, Sabotage's first game is probably worth a look. Really solid Metroidvania/action platformer, fun story and characters, pretty hilarious at times, and by god that soundtrack is a banger. Honestly, Mitsuda isn't even necessary for y'all to be excited for Sea of Stars' soundtrack, Eric Brown (Sabotage's composer for both their games) is just really that good

I'm coming to this thread super late, but I just wanted to say that you have excellent taste. CrossCode is one of my favorite games of all time, and Monster Sanctuary is a gem.

Others: Return of the Obra Dinn is very good and unique. Ender Lilies is a gloriously melancholy metroidvania and one of my favorite games of this year. The music, aesthetic, and overall atmosphere and feel of it really stuck with me.

I've generally noticed we have pretty similar tastes overall, haha

Actually playing through Ender Lilies right now and enjoying it a lot. Maybe I should check out Obra Dinn sometime soon
 
Only one mention of Guacamelee so far? It's a top 5 "Metroidvania" in my book, even if the Switch release is of STCE which nerfs the best boss fight. Guacamelee 2 is equally as good. Both games feature exceptional melee and platforming mechanics along with corresponding challenges, with a bold art style as well as multiplayer support.

Yeah, I think we do! My only ding against Ender Lilies is that I think it's a bit weaker in the last third or so, one of the final areas is pretty annoying. Still a great game.

And Obra Dinn is unlike anything I've ever played before; it's a great puzzle/deduction game with a really unique atmosphere and feel to it. It also feels very well-paced, you can beat it (100% I mean) in just a few sittings but it's very satisfying.
 
Excluding a few of the more popular ones like Enter the Gungeon, Katana Zero, Oxenfree, etc.:
  • Wandersong: One of my all-time favorite games. Super charming story, great art direction, and a fantastic cast. Even just typing this up makes me want to do a replay.
  • Nexomon Extinction: Pokemon-style game with really nice monster design, decent story, and solidly challenging gameplay. A bit simple since all monsters only have one type and don't really get diverse movepools, but otherwise pretty good fun for $20.
  • Islanders: Fun, simplistic strategy game that you can play in short bursts.
  • Underhero: Vaguely reminiscent of Paper Mario with fun writing and nice combat. Platforming can be a bit iffy though.
  • Graceful Explosion Machine: Relatively simple mechanics that combine into a really well-polished game. Super fun to shoot for a new high score.
 
Golf Story - A charming top-down 2D RPG about golf, reminds me of the Gameboy Mario Golf games but even more expanded. Also has some clever HD rumble usage.

Dandara - 2D Metroidvania where you aim yourself off the floor, ceiling and walls to maneuver the world. It has a fantastic, immersive soundtrack and another candidate for great HD rumble usage.

Steamworld Dig 2 - Probably one of the best metroidvanias I've played and one of the best sequels ever. Fantastic addictive gameplay, excellent soundtrack, it's just an overall joy to play and explore deeper and deeper beneath the surface via digging.
