Detailed reviews written about Nintendo Switch RPGs by the SwitchRPG staff.
Sungazer Software’s first commercial title claims to offer a colorful world to explore, 2D platforming action, treasure hunting, power acquisition and skill training, and battle against dozens of foes at once. How does the end result fare?
A wonderful throwback to the Igarashi-directed Castlevania titles that is only held back by questionable performance.
This retro-inspired open-world RPG is a doomsday prepper’s dream come true.

The second entry in the Mana series (and this collection) proves that some things are better left in the past.
The first entry in the Collection of Mana surprised me in more ways than one.
Overall, Chroma Squad is a decent enough turn-based strategy game, bogged down with unnecessary features and slow pacing that do nothing more than nearly destroy its charms.

I’m a hungry, hungry God Eater. But does this giant monster-brawling, action RPG deliver a hearty experience, or will it leave your stomach grumbling…?
Sally forth into this sequel to the cult classic, ActRaiser. Wait, it’s not ActRaiser 2…?
Nordic strategy and crippling depression combine to make Dead in Vinland a compelling and frustrating experience.
Grab your shovel and get ready to dig. No, not until you hit bedrock, until you have the materials for quest completion.
The modern twists, such as freedom of choice, an open world map, and near limitless side quests, separates Artifact Adventure Gaiden DX from its inspiration.
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.
What if Retro City Rumble and Shakedown: Hawaii were merged with Rogue? The answer is one of the more unique roguelikes on Switch, and boy, is it fun.
Iga has done it again.
Rick May stumble out of the gate early on, but these attributes give Fox N Forests an identity of its own, allowing Bonus Level’s debut to stand toe-to-toe with its nostalgic contemporaries.
Is this real life…? We explore the dreamscape with one of the most experimental combat systems in the genre. Will this game bring you sweet dreams, or beautiful nightmares?
Who ever heard of “Resting in Peace?” Apparently, in Graveyard Keeper, you didn’t get the memo. The question is, will you dig the mortuary business in the afterlife, or does it come off as a stiff experience?
Another mobile title makes its way to the Switch. Is this game’s flashy combat worth your while, or is this blade a bit too dull?
