 Okay guys, I would never lie to you. I would never say a game is good if it isn't and I would never make you buy a game Like you would probably end up regretting because I didn't explain the game enough or good enough for you I'm trying to steer you in the correct direction, whichever way I possibly can and Today is such a day. We are tackling top 10 Indie developed games on the Nintendo Switch currently and I say we because they have a little help in this video These 10 games are not in any specific order But I want to start off with yonder because now that there are so many games on the switch This one has drowned in the e-shop. So actually maybe some people have not heard about it or seen it There is such a cute game still and it is just such a Greengrass game that is a genre that I invented and yonder is just such a fun time It is an adventure game by prideful slot and it is out for PlayStation 4 PC and switch and it was released in 2017 I personally play this for my first time on the switch back in 2018 I think and I also did a full review of it The gameplay consists of you controlling your character exploring the open world environment actually while collecting a bunch of materials and Magical sprites among a lot of other things that you can collect you can farm a bit You can tame cute creatures and you can go fishing and even do some stuff like climb Mountains and glide down from them exploring the islands is eight zones with several Settlements and villages this game is a game that tries to have everything within it a weather cycle a day and night cycle and A bunch of crafting guilds that you can join like a carpenter's guild I mean the game has a lot of side quests when I play this game I was obsessed of course. I was I feel like that's the only thing I am with games I'm obsessed but it's just such a beautiful game the light engine that they're using I don't know what it is, but it's just super beautiful. It's a beautiful game And I don't want anyone to sleep on this title because in my opinion This is one of the best in the developed games that are now on the switch. So that was yonder everyone now Let's hear what indie gaming girl has us his first game so my first game that I'm excited to talk about is a short hike on Nintendo switch and It's a really wonderful calming game So a short hike you basically play as this little bird who has to make it to the top of a mountain peak at Hawk Peak Provincial Park and your little bird companion has to make it to the top because that's the only place that they can get Reception to make a phone call to their mom. So it's a very simple premise, but that's what guides you to get up to the top this game is is more of a Relaxing exploration based game in which you take your little bird and you basically have to find your way to the top And now you can do that in a multitude of ways You could take your time and talk to all the cute and adorable animal characters You can play little mini games like a little beach volleyball type game And you can understand more of this world and why all these characters are here But essentially your goal is to acquire more golden feathers So these golden feathers are acted sort of a stamina meter where essentially the more you get the more you can Climb up the mountain and the more you can soar around without losing that energy and you can get those from quests Or from buying them most likely it's a very simple game But it's just meant to be Relaxing and laid back and I played this at a time when I really needed something to just unwind with and it only takes You know, maybe a couple of hours. It's not long probably less if you just go right through it But it's a game that encourages you to explore You can find little treasure chests and little characters that are competing in a race down the mountain And little moments like that are what make it shine And so once you eventually make it to the top you make that phone call And of course I won't ruin any of the little story beats But then you can of course just take your time and enjoy exploring You can do little fishing mini games. You can find items on the ground So it's just a really nice relaxing mini adventure And I think if you're into a game like journey or flower or something like that and love the Adorableness of something like animal crossing then I think a short hike might be one that you really enjoy and it's one that I absolutely recommend So my next indie developed game that I recommend is definitely spirit fairer a game that I have now Recently played it is actually a game that was suggested to me by tiny hats and a bunch of you guys in the comment section Over the past months. Have you played spirit fairer? You should try spirit fairer. It's such an eisha game And you were correct when I just gave this game a chance and truly felt invested There was no going back as this is a game that carries several of the game elements I usually tend to like in games like collecting a ton of things and Crafting and farming and it also has a very happy and colorful Graphical style that I tend to like the spirit fairer's job is to help lost souls Crossover to the afterlife so it has a tiny bit of sad tone to it as you are a spirit fairer And you deal with that people your main hub is your ship Which you can upgrade and customize and choose where you want all your rooms And facilities to be spirit fairer feels like an open world Even though it is a 2d graphical style game because of the ocean map basically and it is huge You navigate your ship by setting a marker on the ocean map and then your boat will travel there And meanwhile you travel you can fish a bit or check in on the progress of your cooking or any of the other Workstations talk with your spirits that are along for the ride or use your crafting benches to get more of a specific type Of material that you may need for some of these several side quests of the game This is a good game and it has a soul and I like the graphics. I like what you do I like the gameplay. I like the writing. I Yeah, I like the music so spirit fairer is getting an approved by Isha stamp of approval If that is a thing now the next game of indie gaming guild And the next game I'm excited to talk about is dad ish So dad ish is a little platforming game where you play as a radish who also happens to be a dad So it's a silly combination. This is made by one developer Thomas E young It's a very inexpensive game. I think it comes in at less than five dollars US But essentially it's just a little stage-based platformer I actually pays a lot of homage to Super Mario World in some of the sounds that you'll hear in transitioning from the stages as Well as the little overworld map It's obviously much more simple and can be finished in a couple of hours if not less But essentially it's a little 2d pixel art game that you play is this little radish dad dad ish And you go through these little stages like a beach area and a forest area and a mountain area things like that It's very simple in premise, but the execution is great You know you just jump around you double jump and the best part is at the very end when you get to one of your Radish children and they each have these funny little lines and quips and it just it really brings a smile to your face It's a fun happy-go-lucky platformer with some silly bosses and all the enemies are like based around food I really recommend it. It's fun. If you love platforming games There is a sequel dad ish 2 that is really good as well But for my money the first one is the best so if you're looking for a really fun light-hearted Indie game that you can play on the switch especially to go in handheld mode. It's a really fun charming platformer Now actually the first game that I thought of when I thought of this video idea on this list was actually graveyard keeper Also looks like graveyard keeper. It also looks like graveyard keeper, but this one actually looks like graveyard keeper So graveyard keeper is one of the most Unique indie games I have ever played actually maybe I can even call it the best indie game I've ever played maybe that is perhaps stretching it far, but you get the general picture It is one of the better or best slash something indie games that I have played I don't know. It just made such an impression on me when I played it It is basically a dark and gothic stagia valley and it is super morbid. You are dealing with let's say Dead bodies But it has just the best soundtrack to set the mood and just hearing that music brings back memories of how good this game Actually was then a story is that you died in more than age Rip and then you found yourself set back in time task would being a keeper of graveyards So you have to be a good graveyard keeper in order to return to your current life and current time. There is crafting There's farming there is collecting materials. Can you see a pattern? This is what I like to do in video games There is a bunch of side quests with good storytelling actually a lot of different events on different days of the week And it has some morally questionable and dark elements But the gameplay loop is that of a live simulator or a farming sim basically This is one very special and unique gem that I just hope you're not missing out on playing sometime And it is on sale everywhere basically these are all all of these games are older games by now And you may actually find them on sale. I mean either on Steam PC or Switch or PlayStation 4 I mean just look around some of these games are even on Xbox at this point And my next underrated Switch indie game is actually one of the more recently released ones that came out in 2021 and that is called Dwarf Journey So Dwarf Journey is a roguelite and I know that word roguelite tends to scare off a lot of people because we see so many Games like that nowadays especially on the Switch and a lot of indie games, but Dwarf Journey is and I'll be honest It's not too much different from other roguelites You play as this cute little dwarf who basically must Explore this hidden like cavern area and that's up in the skies essentially and so it's all kind of steeped in I don't want to say like like Viking kind of lore things like that But essentially your little Viking dwarf character can explore different rooms And he basically collects gems different ores rather such as like silver gold things like that And the main premise is around going to each room fighting a boss at the end Which are really creative and then making it to the next room so forth so on you get different upgrades and rune stones and The main pool though is these little like I said gemstones or mineral deposits that you can actually mine And when you mine for them you can basically it's kind of one of those risk rewards where you can take as much as you want But if you do die you lose most of that So the best thing to do is to find like a little mine cart that you put that or in and that actually delivers it back To your home base area which is cool and that home base area there you can learn more about the lore You have a blacksmith you can upgrade you can add different weapons and armor which you can upgrade And different rune stones that help make you stronger So again, it's not so much different from any other roguelite, but it plays really well It's fairly fluid and polished in playing as your little dwarf He can do this really nice double jump and wall climb that gets them all across the levels so if you're familiar with some of the mechanics of celeste or Something like the roguelite nature of scourge bringer, which is another great indie game It's just really polished and fluid and provides that nice gameplay loop And I think it comes in at just under $10 on the switch So it's it's really good if you're into the roguelite genre and I think a lot of people missed that Now mulakka one of the first indie developed games that I actually played on my nintendo switch And one of my first reviews don't watch it because it's super crunchy But it is still a memorable game for me. Mulakka is a 3d action adventure game set in a tarahumara culture with a beautiful low poly graphical style and endless running You explore, you fight, you transform into a bird sometimes and you can fly And you can use your spiritual vision to do puzzle solving, etc You can collect plants to replenish potions and progress your game to a bunch of exciting levels Different kinds of levels. You can also smash a bunch of smashable objects, which is oddly satisfying There is a skill tree in the game and also several other transformations than the bird that I mentioned This game is special and it is on this list for a reason I still highly recommend that you check this hidden gem out Check out Mulakka And the next game for me is going to be another platformer called goblin sword So goblin sword, I never hear anybody talking about. It's basically an action platformer It kind of reminds me of like the 2d link or that links to links awakening is added But it kind of reminds me of like a fantasy based platformer in which you play this little knight character Who has to go through various stages. So this game actually First started life on mobile devices, which I know is not always the best thing to get ported over to switch But if you didn't know that and you just played this game as it was on the e-shop It's really really fun. So essentially you you go through different stages through like a forest and a castle and basically just kind of Your traditional fantasy trope areas But your knight character can get different relics and armor pieces and weapons that make him stronger But as you progress through each level, there's a lot of exploration and that's what makes it fun So it's not it's linear in the sense that you go from point A to point B. It is stage based But basically there are different gems that you can acquire There are different magic abilities you can acquire and you can find hidden treasure chests in in these walls that you're You can kind of tell you can get into but not a hundred percent sure and it encourages really fun platforming exploration Similar to like what a metroidvania would do but it's not a metroidvania game So it's just one of those easy to pick up and play games It has some really really fun fantasy music the stages are all enjoyable And again, it encourages that replay ability because you can get new armor and items and relics and things like that So if you really like a fantasy based platformer with action and sword play and some magic and It's not a long game. Maybe coming in around three hours or so But it's a lot of fun and I really really enjoyed and I think people that like that fantasy platforming with Action and upgrades will really enjoy that so make sure to check out goblin sword if it sounds like it looks like a game for you Now moonlighter has one of the most memorable soundtracks that I can think of from recent years And I know for a fact that switchup mark loves it too. He uses it all the time Maybe he doesn't but I feel like he uses it all the time. Don't anyway It is both a dungeon crawler with a top-down perspective and a shop simulator Believe it or not They are mixing both of these genres in one game and who knew that these two genres would fit so well together In the dungeons you collect as many items as you possibly can without dying preferably To return it all to your shop to sell things off for a profit Hopefully the dungeons reminds me somewhat of sell down nests dungeons in away Top-down going from one room to another now on the shop side of things You have to impress your customers by selling your items at just the correct price to make a profit Too high and they will maybe barge out and too low and you may actually miss out on some of the profit Improve your shop and your town with your earnings and progress the game simple premise But it is actually easy to die in this game and when you die you don't get all of your items with you out of the dungeon So it's like you have to make a decision. Do I go further into the dungeon and risk losing a bunch of stuff? Or do I retreat at this point with the things that I already have sort of thing and the shop simulation is Highly enjoyable Okay, and my final underrated switch indie game that i'm super excited to talk about is actually a game that I don't think i've heard any other channel or anyone talk about Certainly could be wrong about that, but I haven't heard it and that is called putty pals So putty pals is a solo or co-op definitely better in co-op game where you play as these two little putty pals They're these little blob like uh Play-doh looking characters who are actually really adorable and charming and you can like give a little thumbs up to your partner But essentially it's a puzzle platforming game and as you kind of are getting a theme from this my channel and the indie gaming guild And myself in general I love platforming games adventure games things like that But I fond memories of putty pals because it's actually uh one of the first or one of in the first few months I started playing a lot more games with my wife and she and I picked up putty pals on a sale It's not an expensive game But on the e-shop it it looks generic. It looks like a game that You'd probably watch the trailer see the screenshots and say hey that doesn't look like it's that fun Now I have played the game in solo. It's not as good You can play with both thumb sticks as well as the triggers to like move and jump you have to be strategic It's fine But the best way to play putty pals is with a friend or family member So I played this with my wife It only took a couple of hours But you go through these different stages as these little blob like play-doh characters and it's all about puzzle solving And basically navigating these gaps where you have to grab on to each other and you can give each other Little thumbs up and you're each different colors So you have to go through different colored areas as one to open up an area for your next person to go You can also make like a little trampoline out of your character to jump on It's just silly and charming and light hearted The story is just about rescuing all of your little putty pal friends And I think a lot of people will miss this game. I've talked about it a lot on my channel the indie gaming guild But it seemed like a game that people need to try Especially if you have a family member or friend or loved one or whatever that you like co-op games Putty pals is really fun. It's charming and you can finish it up in a couple of hours So make sure to check that one out on the e-shop. It's probably on a really deep sale all the time now Thank you so much to the indie gaming guild for this collab video Check out his channel down below and make sure you subscribe to him He covers a bunch of indie games and if you drop a like on this video I would be happy because actually my last video had such An impressive amount of likes on it.
