Another month and another huge drop of amazing looking indie games on the Nintendo Switch. There’s so many this month, I’m gonna have to take a loan out to play them all. Here’s all the best indie games coming to the Switch in October!

NeoCab 3rd October

Developer: Chance Agency

Price: $19.99

You’re the last human driver in an automated world. Balance your own concerns and your passengers needs as you drive them around town and try and keep a perfect score rating. Chat with them, listen to their stories and get them to where they want to go.

NeoCab reminds me of Subsurface Circular, where you’re basically playing a text narrative. What I like though, is that there seems to be more of a traditional game mechanic with its rating system. The game has a demo out right now, so you can check it out now!

One Night Stand 4th October

Developer: Kinmoku

Price: $4.99

Published by Ratailika Games, One Night Stand is a puzzle game where you wake up in a random girl’s bed and have to work out how you got there. Using environmental story telling and a deep dialogue tree, you have to piece together the events of the previous night. Seems like a quirky game with some beautiful hand sketched looking art!

Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince 8th October

Developer: Frozenbyte

Price: $29.99

A 2.5D puzzle platformer set in an absolutely gorgeous looking fantasy world! A wizard, a knight and a thief join forces to retrieve a lost Prince who is targeted by the nightmares of the realm. This is one for you multiplayer fans. You can play with up to four people both online and locally!

Call of Cthulhu 8th October

Call of Cthulhu_20181024101627

Developer: Saber3D

Price: $39.99

Inspired by Chaosium’s classic pen and paper RPGs, Call of Cthulhu brings you into a world of creeping madness. You play as Private Investigator Piece, who is sent to investigate a death on the isolated Darkwater Island. A creepy and mind bending game to play for halloween!

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair 8th October

Developer: Playtonic Games

Price: $29.99

If you love Yooka-Laylee then you should join them on their new 2D adventure. Run, jump and role your way through Playtonic’s colourful world and interact with it’s quirky characters! If you’re feeling brave you can tackle the impossible lair straight away. However, it will be much easier if you take your time, earn some upgrades and rescue the Royal Bee Guards!

Pine 10th October

Developer: Twirlbound

Price: $24.99

Inspired by The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, Pine is based in a fantasy world where animals evolved quicker than humans. This means the animals are top of the food chain and you’re a lonely human caught in-between the warring animal tribes. The game looks so cool and I’ve been following its development for a while, so I can’t wait to check it out!

Killer Queen Black 11th October

Developers: Liquid Bit

Price: $19.99

4v4 buzzing combat. Play as either the queen, a soldier or a worker bee and battle together to make sure your hive is the strongest. Play with up to 4 people locally or link two Switches together to play with up to 8 friends. This game has epic couch co-op written all over it!

Children of Morta 15th October

Developers: Dead Mages

Price: $21.99

A rogue-like based around a family of heroes that is destined to save the world from a plague of corruption. If you like rouge-likes, I’ve heard online that this one is in the top tier and it has gorgeous pixel art.

Cat Quest II 24th October

Developers: Gentlebros

Price: $14.99

The original Cat Quest (in my opinion) didn’t get as much love as it deserved on the Nintendo Switch. Now the sequel is coming out and I can’t wait to get stuck into this purrrfect feline RPG. Don’t like cats? Well Cat Quest II has you covered since you can play as a dog! Plus, you can share the joy cons and play with a friend!

Vampyr 29th October

Developer: Saber Interactive

Price: $49.99

London 1918 and a strange new illness is sweeping its way through he city. You play as newly-turned Vampyr Dr. Jonathan Ried, who is tasked with finding a cure for this mysterious illness. He has a conundrum though, as a Vampyr he has to feed on the people he has vowed to protect. Reid’s actions will shape the city of London, will he hold to the Hippocratic oath and save the city or be the demon that stalks it?
