Have you ever thought life would be better if it played out like an eighties movie? If so it looks like the latest game from Devolver Digital has answered your prayers, because that’s pretty much the hook of Crossing Souls. You know what to do, it’s time to enter that gungeon. With some brilliant tongue in cheek writing, wonderfully varied enemy design and more lightning-fast bullet dodging than you can shake an oversized gun at, this is one of the best blasters on Switch. It’s also one that’s made even better when you dare to tackle the Gungeon with a friend. Playing like a mix of Binding of Issac and Dark Souls, Enter The Gungeon is not only brilliantly challenging but quite simply, its one of the best indie games of recent years. As you’d expect from the notoriously tricky genre though, the developers definitely haven’t made it an easy ride.

Here, your goal seems fairly simple – make it through the maze like map and beat each level’s final boss without dying. Brought to you by indie darlings Devolver Digital, this action-packed rogue-like sees players blasting and rolling their way through randomly generated halls of enemies.

Night In The Woodsĭon’t let its cutesy little pixel art aesthetic deceive you – this is one of the most deviously difficult games on Switch. With upgradable units and buildings to defend, Bad North is simple enough to immediately understand but has enough depth to keep you hooked. The key to success is to place troops strategically, allowing the archers to rain down arrows on foes from above and cover your charging infantry from the impending rush of enemy soldiers. With later levels seeing waves of enemies sail toward your little island from all directions, players can rotate their surroundings thanks to a 360-degree view of the action. It’s a pleasingly simple game to control, with players merely pointing and clicking where they want their troops to march to and then leaving the soldiers to do the heavy lifting. With three different types of units at your disposal - archers, infantry, and pikemen - it’s up to your tiny army to defend an equally small island from boatloads of angry invaders. In this intriguing little strategy game, you play the role of the ever-wise general of a small Viking army.
