Due to the Nindie Showcase in March, we have an epic month of indie games this April. Here’s my short list of some of the best indie games coming to the Nintendo Switch this month!

Cook, Serve, Delicious 2 April 10th

Developer: Vertigo Gaming

Price: $12.99

Do you remember the days of Cooking Mama? Well Cook, Serve Delicious 2 is a sort of spiritual successor to that game with stunning anime-like delicious food.

With over 60+ hours of gameplay and over 400 levels to play through, you can take your restaurant from a roach infested eatery to a world class restaurant.

Hellbalde: Senua’s Sacrifice April 11th

Developer: Ninja Theory

Price: $29.99

Numerous award winner Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is coming to the Switch! The game is well know in the gaming community for Melina Juergens’s portrayal of Senua and the game’s focus on mental health issues.

Fans of narrative driven games will appreciate Hellbalde the most, but a top tip is to play the game with headphones!

My Time at Portia April 16th

Developer: Pathea Games/ Team 17 Digitial

Price: $29.99

My Time at Portia kind of reminds me of a 3D Stardew Valley- so if you like that game, you’ll love this one. Here’s a short synopsis from Nintendo.com

Restore your Pa’s neglected workshop to its former glory by fulfilling commissions, growing crops, raising animals, and befriending the quirky inhabitants of this charming post-apocalyptic land!



I really like the wide range of characters that seem to inhabit the world and the ability to chat, trade and play games with them. My Time at Portia seems like a chilled out sort of game!

Cuphead April 18th

Developer: Studio MDHR

Price: $19.99

There was rumours, then there was more rumours, then it finally happened- Cuphead is coming to the Nintendo Switch. Quite unbelievably a Microsoft, Xbox exclusive has made its way over to the Switch because of the epic tag-team friendship of Microsoft and Nintendo.

If you’ve been living under a rock for the last two years and don’t know what Cuphead is, it’s a extremely hard 2D run-and-gun platformer. Its difficultly and amazing 1930’s hand drawn art style set it apart from other indies in its genre.

Katana ZERO April 18th

Developer: Askiisoft/ Devolver Digital

Price: $14.99

Another indie shown of during the Nindie Showcase, Katana ZERO has you playing as a ninja assassin. Slow down time, deflect bullets and leave no target left alive in this stylish neo-noir action platformer.

What I thought was most interesting about Katana ZERO’s Nindie Showcase video was the ending, which ended with the assassin completing a bounty and going to talk about it with his psychologist to receive his ‘medicine’. What is this medicine and how does it affect the assassin? I can’t wait to find out on April 18th!

Steamworld Quest Hand of Gilamech April 25th

Developer: Image & Form Games

Price: $24.99

When I first saw Steamworld Quest I had a lukewarm response to it. The card collecting gameplay had me anxious that the game would be full of micro-transactions. However, I should have known better. Image & Form have been completely open when talking about and showing off the game, confirming that there will be no micro-transactions in Steamworld Quest.

Plus, with their developer blogs and social media updates I’m absolutely salivating to get my hands on this game! I love the Steamworld series, Steamworld Dig 2 is only one of two games I’ve ever given a perfect score to on Switch Indie Fix. Therefore, I can’t wait to jump into the medieval aspect of the Steamworld universe.

Boxboy! + Boxgirl! April 26th

Developer: HAL Laboratory

Price: ???

So it’s quite a debate if Boxboy! + Boxgirl! is actually an indie game. But even though HAL Laboratory has previously made a Super Smash Bros game, I believe the Boxboy series definitely has an indie spirit to it.

Boxboy! + Boxgirl! has a new co-op mode and over 270 challenges to complete with a friend on your couch.



Super Meat Boy Forever April

Developer: Team Meat

Price: ??

We don’t actually know when Super Meat Boy Forever is coming to the Switch. The release window is slated as ‘April’ so I imagine it’s going to shadow drop at some point this month.

What we do know is that Super Meat Boy Forever is a sequel to the frustrating, pixel-perfect platformer Super Meat Boy. This time around though, Dr. Fetus has kidnapped Meat Boy and Bandage Girl’s child. What we also know is that the game is now an endless runner with a combat combo mechanic to make platforming that little bit more difficult!

So there you go. April is a packed month for indie games on the Nintendo Switch. Let me know which games you’re gonna be picking up this month and if there’s any indies coming out this month that I might have missed.

Let us know over of Twitter or come and join the SIF Discord.
