Top 25 Nintendo Switch Indie Games

[@JayWood2010]

PINNED COMMENT: I just realized I didn't include one of my favorites being Omori. Id actually put it in my top 5 or so. Its an excellent Turned Based RPG with a surprisingly dark but gripping story. Definitely check it out

[@Caro_BlackMagdalene]

Also Undertale is a great pick for the Switch 💀

[@nathanielbrewster7238]

[@rolandgatti2212]

Dead Cells, Enter the Gungeon, Shovel Knight Treasure Trove, Salt and Sanctuary, Blasphemous, Into the Breach, Death’s Gambit Afterlife are great ones as well

[@brandoom9122]

Into The Breach is one of my favorites! I've been playing it a lot again after I just found out the released the Advanced Edition.

[@TabeApe]

(And Fez ❤️)

[@civenful]

Salt and sanctuary!!!!!!!!!

[@mayralex18]

Great list!!! I gotta say that Hades should come with a warning since there's truly no escape; whenever i think I'm done with it i come back for "one" more round. There's so so much value in Hades is quite an outstanding game.

[@jarod9135]

I literally had to cancel my plans one day because I kept saying "one more round, one more round" then the sun was coming up😂

[@rivaldobox]

Sorry, but you're telling me Dead Cells is nowhere to be seen in a top 25 best indie games?

[@Lior__plays]

Dead cells is a modern classic

[@ShadowExile89]

Dead Cells is the best roguelike on the market. Hades is kind of meh? In comparison

[@thinkpady]

Dead cells is number one

[@RadikalAnderWurzel]

Dead cell is indie??

[@rivaldobox]

@@RadikalAnderWurzel of course it is. Motion Twin is composed of just 8 people

[@maykomarquez]

I see a lot of dead cells fans in here… I wasn’t that big of a fan tbh I’d also never put Hades over Hollow Knight

[@thetravenousgamer]

There's so many fantastic indie titles on Switch, it's impossible to make a definitive list that everyone can agree upon. But I love coming across videos like this because there's always a game on there that I haven't tried yet! Here's a list of 25* games I recommend (* cheating a bit here by throwing in sequels) Axiom Verge 1&2 Blaster Master Zero 1,2&3 Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 1&2 Cat Quest 1&2 Death Road to Canada (my fave!) Disc Jam Fast RMX Golf Story Heavy Burger Mantis Burn Racing Mercenary Kings The Messenger Mighty Gunvolt Burst Moonlighter My Friend Pedro NeuroVoider (superb twin stick roguelike) Oxenfree Party Hard 1&2 Rifftrax The Game Road Redemption Super Blood Hockey Use Your Words West of Loathing Wrestling Empire Yoku's Island Express

[@Dmv216661]

Ori and the will of the wisps is hands down my favorite game. I love hollow knight, but Ori is WAY better imo. It feels flow-y-er, and the platforming and cbat and honestly everything is just a blast.

[@l0rdfr3nchy7]

Very nice video, good list and good commentary. The music in the background fits nicely, will check out more of your content

[@siredaruler6016]

I love indies and so does my SD Cards 😂 You can have more games without using all your memory 😎

[@neroleye]

Lonely Mountains Downhill...is great!!!

[@maxisenberg9093]

Came here to find some new idies...have played almost all.of these and the few I haven't I was never interested in lol

[@Ridgerian]

Thank you for the video! but i do think you forgot about dead cells, it's even has better game mechanic than hades.

[@dragonlord83]

Another I'd add to this list is Blasphemous. I absolutely loved this game and it was so good a sequel was recently announced.

[@TheGravityShifter]

One masterpiece that's on Switch (PS4/5 as well if you own that but not a Switch) is 13: Sentinels Aegis Rim. Not an indie game, more of a AA game, by the legendary Vanillaware. That is a must play even if you aren't into Real Time Strategy games. I don't even like strategy games but this game made me like them. And the story is a class on its own with how amazingly written it is. It's my favorite sci-fi game ever made.

[@7.7.7_.7..7._]

Dusk is nothing like doom brother...quake it is

[@shortylarson8997]

Dead cells, slay the spire

[@hendrikjut]

Well put together! My compliments and gratitude :)

[@Eight-Bit-Hustler]

I’d have to do a top 50 after looking at my collection with the ones you listed too!? 😅 I’d definitely have Dead Cells here, Either Golf Story or Sports Story… which are actually top down RPGs with a golf and sports themes … also gotta include Binding Of Isaac Blasphemous, I haven’t finished Salt and Sanctuary yet but it seems good so far, Heaven Dust 1&2 if you’re into the Resident Evil series only with better controls, moonlighter, Enter the Gungeon, and also just trying Dex recently but really cool vibes with it so far. There’s also a ton of really good walking Sim and story driven games I can’t even begin to list off but yeah it’s an indie gamers dream!

[@KIrvin_The_Scholar]

Evertale, Untitled Goose Game could be on here to

[@Cryptic-cy3xr]

Valfaris is one of the best in my opinion. Hard but fair and immensely satisfying when you understand the control.

[@Cryptic-cy3xr]

Also, factorio of course

[@SMMS826]

Thanks so much for this video!

[@RawPower867]

Grapple Dog, Ayo the Clown, and Omori definitely deserve mentions

[@feeamerie5011]

Great video! I’m super tempted by a few of these Metroidvanias especially… (Hollow Knight has me beat sadly!)

[@nelsonribeiro9763]

Great list. It would be difficult to just name 25. There are at least 50 that you could mention. Guacamelee 1 and 2, cyber shadow, sparklite, skul and tails of iron. All very easy recommendations.

[@Monkey_D_Cluffy]

No dead’s cells?

[@1st-1ast]

Was wondering the same thing.?.?.

[@mattlockwood6089]

Dead cells is the truth

[@pharumnelson7108]

Dead cells is so good

[@Monkey_D_Cluffy]

@@mattlockwood6089 yep! I have that and hades and I have 450 hours on dead cells, 10 on hades

[@CheapJabroni]

It’s a personal list. It wouldn’t make my list either. It wouldn’t make my top 25 list even.

[@pyrosays]

Got to add "Enter the gungeon" (easily in my top 3 all time games. )

[@FullMetalEdits]

Got it today and don't regret it thanks

[@pyrosays]

@@FullMetalEdits awesome! have fun!

[@FullMetalEdits]

@@pyrosays thank you, it's great so far, playing with my friend on co-op

[@armyofpoo9297]

Thank you. I was searching for eastward for 30mins on the eshop. I couldn't remember the name so I was having a hard time.

[@0XBlondie96X0]

I was waiting for you to mention Hollow Knight, it was really hard and I sunk so many hours in it trying to beat the game as well as the additional challenges-- P5 is the only challenge I haven't beat yet! About a year ago, not long after finally being able to afford a Switch, there were two games I was immediately interested in getting-- well, when I can afford to, lol-- Hades and Hollow Knight. I ended up getting Hades first (around Christmas), played it, LOVED it (you know a series has made an impact on you when one of the themes becomes an earworm for you), then several months later I got Hollow Knight, played that too, was super frustrating bc I sucked at it but I didn't give up, absolutely fantastic game as well. I also have played Stardew, both Ori games, and most recently Cult of the Lamb. I think I'll get Celeste next time I have some spare cash.

[@cmd2973]

Nice list. Katana Zero is my number 1. But bro, where the hell is Dead Cells and Shovel Knight??

[@scottyboy25]

Who even needs those overpriced first party games. What an incredible list of games.

[@holoholoyolo]

I'm addicted to your background music! 🎶

[@RDL1318]

Where’s Carrion?

[@owengeorge9228]

Great video! Pleased play Hob. I loved it. A nice zelda like as well.

[@Dothos68]

I liked Wolfenstein and Doom so I think Dusk catches my attention, it also reminds me of Doom Eternal where moving around in combat is essential, so I am down for some high octane and adrenaline action pumping throughout the battlefield. Thank you for this 😊🙏🏾

[@shloprop4751]

Dusk is a masterpiece. I know this comment is old, but God damn its incredible

[@AquaticBagpipe]

Thanks for putting Dusk and Bug Fables on my radar!

[@jaymesjmathias9390]

What is your background tune playing? Sorry if I'm unknowing it, lol, sure it's some main game all know it.

[@arminkrenn1530]

Huntdown, Final Vendetta, Unmetal!!! And many more

[@figuradam61]

Cuphead is a Masterpiece,everyone should play it

[@Kanal12965]

Thanks Mate!

[@DangerCrow]

Every timestamp but two of them: “Now…” “So…”

[@moondawwg]

GRIS?

[@Baldie_lox]

What is that mix and match game you were playing in the intro?

[@dexbuild1206]

Great list. Dead Cells is missing

[@michaelsterling8422]

Enter the gungeon is def top 5

[@Arkan77N]

Are those gameplays all recorded on Switch?

[@Porlydoneanimations]

How about 60 seconds?

[@ravkhar927]

Ok list, missing quite a few bangers tho, void bastards, journey to the savage planet, Risk of rain 2, Ashen....c'mon bro

[@stepan-_-7837]

Play inscryption. Its brilliant

[@luckybones8749]

Slay the spire fam

[@martinweise1624]

What is the name of the ninja game you play in the Intro?

[@totorosdad7965]

I wish hades was as fun for me as it is for everyone else…..got bored of it pretty quick 🙁

[@WdawgSmith]

I love to be that guy but invulnerable doesn’t mean what you think it does

[@Yahng1109]

Undertale?

[@RafaelPerez-cs2hb]

Don’t buy a hat in time in switch, is broken af and the 2p mode is even more broken...

[@seanmcgee920]

Worked fine for me. It did glitch once and I had to go back to my last save. Other than that worked fine, good game

[@vanishing_girl]

Metroidvania is the most overused/misused term ever among gamers, it essentially has been dumbed down to the point where it apparently just means open world that you have to backtrack in. Top-down Zeldas are not Metroidvanias ugh.

[@schyllic]

Agreed, I am really tired of this term.

[@symphony86]

Cross code looks like fun.. donwloading

[@Mr.jock_Kyller]

why overcooked 2 instead of all you can eat?

[@daniel-oliveira]

Hahah, o primeiro jogo apresentado é brasileiro

[@daydreaming360]

Dead Cells, Furi, Super crush K. O. ,

[@broly.8591]

There is a game on the switch I got it when I first had my switch back in 2019 and that game had a look like hades but u had multiple classes u had a monk a sword fighter and so on but I don’t remember the name please help me find it again

[@Ponnybit]

Grateful for the video although.. This guys has no idea what he’s talking about IN some games.. Dusk is an uncanny version of the first quake game , it looks nothing like doom or WolfenStein.

[@jacko_moon652]

No binding of issac……..

[@FreedomDaveX]

Clickbait. Not all of these were released in 2023.

[@qw3rtypd4ng3r]

Ok so Dead Cells and Enter The Gungeon are better than all these games but maybe Hades

Got the Steam Deck so I’m kinda done with the Switch. Only thing keeping it alive are the exclusive’s and fanboys.

[@cmd2973]

Lol you need help

[@ian_sear]

Enjoy your washed out LCD screen. I'm not going near a Steam Deck until there's an OLED screen revision.

[@michaeljmccurdy9449]

Good video but the constant grammatical error of using plural for singular or vice versa is very distracting, e.g, "There's a ton of good games out there." Instead of, "There are a ton of good games" or better yet, "There are many good games..." If that grammar was fixed then, I could enjoy these videos more.

[@schyllic]

Interesting. The first fragment "There's a ton" seems to agree, however the weight metaphor itself doesn't seem to correspond neatly to essentially weightless software programs. Also i don't really like the weight as equal to many. I would prefer more concise "There are oodles of games out there".

[@stephanietunc2240]

Just so yall know the lamb is normally used to represent the messiah and his believers so to turn the lamb like the goat is blasphemous by itself.

[@d_be_cooking]

Quite possibly the worst indie list of all time.

[@nathanielbrewster7238]

I really don't know what's going on man but it's not a good thing. Its way to much to do that I don't know what to do with it and then I'll be right out of the house and I can get it to you and I can go out to the store for a few minutes or two or three or four or maybe just two.but still 😢😂😢😅😅 4:56 the incredible Stardew addiction i don't know what to do,,, 😭😭 the pain is unbearable. I try to express my self on the piano... I am met with confusion and pain l... I will be there in about an hour to get a new one but idk if it's a good idea. The pain is so much. I don't know what to do with it but I don't know if I can help myself l😂

[@nathanielbrewster7238]

Why is this happening to me. Drugstore is so pretty but it's not a derogatory word for me. Seriously what is this and why is it still going on. What what what. What. Mister my long time buddy, my old pal, z,,, please tell me why is this happening what is going on..........the pictures of the most punchable thing I have ever been to Do you understand what I mean by that. The coolest thing ever is that I commented on the phone with my phone and I don't know what to do with it but I don't know what to do with my self or what's going on... The pain is so unbearable it is just about to kill me... Why does it continue .. Sour patch kids custom box and shoes for the new album cover for you guys and you can go home and get me a 100 dollar tree and I can get it you can go to the shop and get me a 100 dollar tree and I can get me an idea of what time ya thinking of going out for a little bit of time and we can go to the beach and stuff like that is so cool to have you in the morning and I can get me a 100 dollar tree.😅 I really don't remember what is happening or why mhshshshs ushush doggone I don't know what to do with it but I don't know what you're talking about anymore man. So what's the deal huh. Yes the videos games... Donkey head and cup head... Lists of video games... What is it all... Why...

[@H1tHard]

Where is dead cells?

[@ryanheemann3819]

I think story centric games often get omitted in this type of list. I’d give a big recommendation to Firewatch and What Remains if Edith Finch who are two of the best “walking sims” on Switch. Add in Gris and Night in the Woods, which are sort of puzzle platformers, and there are some great stories and characters on Switch in some games that really center them.

[@thetravenousgamer]

Katana Zero, which is featured in this video, I found that one to have an awesome story, very well presented.

[@dzdogg]

Valfaris Xmorph defense Transistor Gris Axiom Verge Carrion Inside Spiritfare

[@CestDavide]

Great video!

[@JoeliRavioli]

In relation to Dusk…I love that game and all the games inspired by Doom. But I think Ion Fury is very overlooked is one of the best I’ve played.

[@gerardopadilla3317]

Nice list

[@T1k1Torch]

I was addicted to hades...

[@nathanielbrewster7238]

Need too much to do it again but it's a lot more than I thought it would be so much more important than what I was thinking of keeping it in. Im not sure if it's a lil bit of a computer or something else but I don't know what to do but I don't understand why It's happening to me. The pain is so much. I don't know what to do 😂

[@Clipahoy]

Why day Switch Indies? They are just as available on steam as Steam.

[@gothamdarkknight3729]

Because I have a switch and i wanna see what indie games are available on it? If I wanted a general indie game list, that's exactly what I would've typed in the search bar.

[@Clipahoy]

@@gothamdarkknight3729 You got a point there. Sorry my man.
