Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree has some interesting ideas, but ultimately the combat in this Roguelike makes it a chore to play.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star Crossed World is the best Kirby game ever made, and on the Switch 2 it's better than ever.
Class of Heroes 3 Remaster doesn't feel like a modern dungeon crawler, and it's old school difficulty and grindy gameplay will put many off.
