Nintendo Switch Games

Loop Hero

Developer Four Quarters has been bringing me a lot of entertainment this week. Albeit, entertainment while I should have been working… whoops. This game certainly isn’t for everyone. You’re throwing into a world in a timeless loop and you use a mystical deck of cards to place enemies, buildings and other obstacles that you can cast into the loop. It’s a card game, puzzle game, and rogue-like all in one. It’s hard-core, 8-bit retro-styled and extremely addictive. Can you save the world and break the time loop of the Lich!

“Plan Your Struggle: Strategically place building, terrain, and enemy cards along each loop to create your own dangerous path. Find balance between the cards to increase your chances of survival while recovering valuable loot and resources for your camp. Loot and Upgrade: Strike down menacing creatures, recover stronger loot to equip on the fly and unlock new perks along the way.”

Death’s Door

Another Switch treat is Death’s Door. This one has already been a big hit on PC, but it’s a game that’s well equipped to be enjoyable on the Switch, with exploration and hack-and-slash action that’s well suited to the handheld, but also just as much fun kicking back on the couch with a pro controller.

You are a bird who takes the bus to work and then goes on magical quests to reap souls. Sounds odd, but that’s just the start. Really neat story, characters you can get invested in and plenty of interesting twists and turns make this one of the coolest games you’ll play all year. Powerful melee, ranged and magic combat. Plenty of powerful enemies to battle, and puzzles to solve along the way.

“Reaping souls of the dead and punching a clock might get monotonous but it’s honest work for a Crow. The job gets lively when your assigned soul is stolen and you must track down a desperate thief to a realm untouched by death – where creatures grow far past their expiry and overflow with greed and power.”
