For those who must own every shoot 'em up on Switch, Q-YO Blaster is worth downloading even with its middle-of-the-road gameplay.
When a game is inspired by the classics, you'd hope that it improves upon them. Although Aggelos doesn't, it's still a rather fun game.
If you enjoy Metroidvania games then you'll love what Timespinner has to offer with its addictive exploration and combat.
If SolSeraph featured more in-depth core gameplay in either of its 2 genres then it would be a much more fulfilling experience.
Gameplay-wise, Streets of Rogue is one of the most open-ended games that I've ever played and mastering it super-rewarding.
If you're looking for an enjoyable series of puzzles to work through then Run the Fan offers both challenging and satisfying gameplay.
Blazing Chrome is an authentic retro run 'n' gun experience that'll surely satisfy genre fans. That being said, there are many frustrating moments that are difficult to overlook and the amount of content is a little thin, too.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night carries on the tradition of classic Igavania games in a masterful way.
Super Mario Maker 2 does a fantastic job of laying the foundation for a seemingly endless supply of 2D platforming fun.
Space combat games don't get much better than War Tech Fighters so if you're a genre fan then you need this in your collection.
Lucah: Born of a Dream manages to accomplish what few indie games do by being both action-packed and mysteriously engaging.
If you don't own a Nintendo console to enjoy Mario Tennis on then Super Tennis Blast makes for a fun take on the classic sport.

Rolling Gunner features classic arcade shoot 'em up gameplay that's as tight and challenging as its visuals are flashy.
Indie games that don't do enough with already established formulas are disappointing and unfortunately, Scrap is one such game.
I wasn't expecting to enjoy Scrap Rush as much as I did. So, if you want a fun local multiplayer game then look no further.
If you're looking for a basic tower defense game to chill out with then Duke of Defense is certainly a capable albeit lackluster indie.
Although it can be frustrating and its fuel system isn't as strategic as it could have been, Hero Express is a unique and worthwhile indie.
