It’s the start of the year and there’s not too many massive indies coming out this month. However, I found a couple of gems. So these are the best indie games coming to the Switch in January 2020.

Sir Eatsalot- Jan 9th

Developers: Behind the Stone

Price: ??

Originally released on the PS Vita, Sir Eatsalot is finally plodding its way over to the Nintendo Switch. SEA is a colourful and cheerful tail of a chubby knight who is tasked with saving the kingdom from some sour lemonade. Will you be the hero? Or will you eat too many donuts and fall asleep?

To the Moon- Jan 16th

Developers: Freebird Games

Price: $11.99

To the Moon took the indie game scene by storm back in 2011 for its touchingly real story. Now the game is being released on the Switch, which I am hyped about! I really feel like the indie scene is missing narrative driven games. So I’m excited to dive into the beautiful game.

Warhammer 40,000: Spacewolf– Jan 23rd

Developers: HeroCraft

Price: $17.99

If you’re a Warhammer 40K fan and love turn based strategy games, then look no further than Warhammer 40K: Spacewolf. The combat is card based, meaning you’ll have to plan your strategy to take out the evil Choas army. There’s a single player campaign where you play as Spacewolf Vulgard Slain Twice and there’s even a PvP mode.

If you want something tactical and love Space Marines, check out Warhammer 40K: Spacewolf.

Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD- Jan 23rd

Developer: Oddworld Inhabitants Inc

Price: $29.99

In the dusty, undeveloped wastelands of Western Mudos, cantankerous townsfolk find their settlements besieged by belligerent outlaws.

Along comes Stranger, a tall, dark and enigmatic bounty hunter with a mission to capture troublemakers and scoundrels and return them to civilized townships for incarceration.

A remaster from the original Xbox days, Oddworld Starnger’s Wraith is a first person shooter where you take out bounties and hunt fearsome villains. If you’re an older gamer and want a nostalgia trip or you’re a huge Oddworld fan, maybe check it out.

Skellboy- Jan 30th

Developers: Umaiki Games

Price: $20

Published by Fabraz (developers of Slime-San) Skellboy is an action RPG where you play as the resurrected skeleton of a jealous Wizard, who is dumped by the Princess of Cubold.

The world looks colourful and I love the way the pixel art has been rendered in 3D. There’s also a cool mechanic where you can swap out parts of Skellboy’s body to use new weapons and abilities. It looks lots of fun and I can’t wait for the end of January to try it out.

Aviary Attorney Definitive Edition– Jan 30th

Developers: Jeremy Noghani

Price: $19.99

It’s the 1840’s and you’re in revolutionary France. Oh and you’re a bird and a lawyer. Explore Paris, talk to eccentric members of the Parisian society and solve crimes in the bird court. The art style looks awesome and has been touched up for the Switch version. If you’re a fan of the Ace Attorney series, this game might be for you.

Like I said, not many indies coming out this month, but these are the best indie games coming to the Switch in January 2020. Will you be picking any of them up, or will you be trying to clear your backlog? If so, what game will you be playing? Let us know over on Twitter or come and join the SIF Discord server.
