Roguelikes often try to keep players out of their later levels, but Children of Morta keeps it all in the family with persistent level-ups, buffs, and checkpoints.
As a higher-budget indie release, is Ashen massive enough to be considered a worthy expedition? Rich takes on this quiet Soulslike to find out.
In a year already stacked with a number of quality Switch RPG releases, Star Ocean: First Departure R has been a pleasant, budget-friendly surprise.
When all is said and done, MISTOVER should be considered a masterpiece of the genre- severely punishing, but a masterpiece nonetheless.

Does this sequel to the lovable builder/JRPG hybrid – Dragon Quest Builders – go above the accolades of its predecessor, or does it fall just short of that feat? Let’s find out!
Siralim 3’s greatness is in its ability to build simple upon simple, ending up with something truly unique and far, far from where this original concept started.

Blossom Tales II: The Minotaur Prince builds off everything the first game did well, expanding in depth while retaining its charming Zelda-like core identity.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero is an amazing JRPG with great combat, writing, and music that shouldn’t be overlooked.
Don’t let its 30-year absence from the global market deceive you, Live A Live is a hidden gem on the Nintendo Switch.
Matsuno-san’s 1995 classic tactical RPG has been trimmed up and repolished for the modern era, and remains an essential part of any TRPG fan’s collection.
What Bastion set out to do years ago still holds up well today, although the unique storytelling approach, in many ways, does more harm than good.
As for Warframe, it’s a pretty simple choice if you’re a fan of the modern western RPGs in the same category as Mass Effect or Skyrim. The same goes for gamers that enjoy squad based, online combat. I’ll reiterate that Warframe is a FREE download – if you have fear that the game is weighted with micro transactions, let it go. Are they there? Yes, but they never feel necessary in the least bit. Warframe offers an experience on the Switch that you can’t experience with any other game on the console. I would recommend making sure you have an SD card before downloading it because it certainly does absorb a ton of space. I can’t think of any other reason to avoid giving Warframe on the Nintendo Switch a download.
