Nindie Spotlight's Reviews

6.2 / 10.0 - Madshot
Jul 27, 2023

While it has a great animated look, and some positives, there’s just not enough variety and depth to take it further

8.3 / 10.0 - Ember Knights
Jul 27, 2023

While it starts out slow, once you start unlocking new weapons and game elements it does pick up some steam quite nicely

Jul 26, 2023

Looking to work your way through a lightly-interactive sci-fi visual novel in a dystopian corporate-controlled world? Here you go!

While the presentation is nice and clean, and the puzzles are reasonably tricky, there’s pretty even competition out there

4.8 / 10.0 - Whispike Survivors
Jul 25, 2023

Comes to the Switch feeling like another rushed budget offering trying to jump in before the arrival of Vampire Survivors on the system

5.8 / 10.0 - D-Corp
Jul 25, 2023

Though it has a blend of real-time strategy and some action, defensive placements feel finicky and variety is limited

Sadly it’s another simulator where your time is more often spent on minutia and finicky controls and placement than something engaging

6.5 / 10.0 - Punch a Bunch
Jul 24, 2023

There’s a very approachable quality to the boxing controls here, but in practice they’re at the expense of precision and feel inconsistent at best

A brilliant mixture of puzzles and turn-based strategy make this a standout title fans of both genres should give a look

Decidedly old-school in look and execution, it’s the dark and sometimes disturbing nature of the journey that holds appeal

8.1 / 10.0 - Frank and Drake
Jul 20, 2023

Aside from featuring the fantastic city of Baltimore and a wonderful rotoscoped style, there’s an intriguing story to enjoy here

7.5 / 10.0 - REMEDIUM: Sentinels
Jul 19, 2023

A budget-minded take on Vampire Survivors, it has issues as things get crowded, but it’s an alternative if you don’t mind some flaws

6.1 / 10.0 - Necrosmith
Jul 18, 2023

While it’s an interesting take on real-time strategy, poor controls and difficulties keeping track of what’s happening frustrate

Mixing together a smattering of early shooter elements with some modern feel, Shootvaders lacks an identity of its own

7.2 / 10.0 - Burnhouse Lane
Jul 17, 2023

If you’re looking to be creeped out and outright shocked, this will deliver, but it comes with a very fair and accurate warning

6 / 10.0 - Chaos Galaxy
Jul 14, 2023

The lack of bigger picture strategy games on Switch opens the door to this being worthwhile, but clunky controls and little direction bring it down

8 / 10.0 - Manic Mechanics
Jul 14, 2023

No doubt inspired a bit by the likes of the Overcooked series, Manic Mechanics changes some elements up to reasonably stand on its own

While there’s a certain old-school Pitfall-esque vibe to it, the floaty controls and lackluster play disappoint

While it has a novel conceit and decent enough mechanics, on the whole Noob feels a bit generic

7.9 / 10.0 - The Past Within
Jul 13, 2023

While it has an unconventional means of supporting co-op play (you need to play with a copy on 2 different devices), it delivers nicely
