Here’s all the best indie games coming to the Nintendo Switch in June! With E3 this month, it’s kind of hard to say exactly what games are coming out this month. There’s always a chance of new games shadow dropping during E3, and if that does happen, I’ll be sure to add them here.

The games listed are all included in the ‘coming soon’ tab of the Nintendo Switch eshop and have been given release dates in June.

If you missed out, here are the best indie games from May.

Timespinner- June 4th

Developers: Lunar Ray Games

Price: $19.99

‘Travel back in time to change fate itself, in this beautifully crafted story-driven adventure, inspired by classic 90s action-platformers. Join timekeeper Lunais on her quest for revenge against the empire that killed her family, using time-bending powers to explore a vast, connected world.’

Literally just announced as I wrote this post! Timespinner is published by Chucklefish so you know the quality is there. The game itself looks beautiful. Very reminiscent of 90’s platformers and RPGs.

Slay the Spire- June 6th

Developers: Mega Crit

Price: $24.99

I have been waiting for the Switch port of this game for so long! The game mixes up a deck builder mechanics with rogue like elements. Choose one of three characters, build a powerful deck, unlock cool relics and climb as high as you can to slay the spire.

Refunct- June 7th

A minimalistic open world- looks gorgeous!

Developers: Dominique Grieshofer

Price: $2.99

Do you have an itch for an indie game Mirror’s Edge? Well if you are, Refunct is perfect for you. Wall jump, slide and spring board all in first person off the beautiful minimalist world.

What’s interesting is that the game is totally pacifist. So there’s no death, giving you the opportunity to explore the open world. And what’s awesome is it only costs $2.99- less than a cup of coffee in Vienna!

Cadence of Hyrule- June 13th

Developers: Brace Yourself Games

Price: $24.99

Cadence of Hyrule could be a turning point for indie games on the Nintendo Switch. It’s the first time on the console that an indie game dev has been given a Nintendo licence to work with. I hope that if the game is successful, it will lead to other top quality indie devs getting the chance to work with Nintendo IP.

Imagine a Metroid game developed by Team Cherry. Or a Mario sports game developed by Sidebar Games. These are the possibilities that could open up if Cadence is a success.

My Friend Pedro- June 20th

Say hello to my little friend.

Developers: Deadtoast

Price: $19.99

From esteemed indie publishers Devolver Digital, My Friend is Pedro looks like a Matrix game on steroids. You’re acting at the behest of a sentient banana and are tasked with mowing down anyone that gets in your way.

With split aiming, slowing down time and surprise enemies with a good old fashioned window breach in this ‘violent ballet’.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night- June 25th

The visuals look so much better than they did!

Developers: ArtPlay

Price: $39.99

Finally. FINALLY. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is coming out. This game was successfully kickstatered over 4 years ago and is produced by Castlevania legend Koji Igarashi.

Recently the devs have shown off some big updates to the game. Most notably is how they’ve upgraded the game’s graphics to look way better than it did when I first saw it.

Age of Boredom saw the game at EGX Rezzed and had nothing but good things to say about it (you can listen to his impressions in the podcast below) and I can’t wait to check the game out too!

Super Neptunia RPG- June 25th/28th (US/EU)

Good old turn based combat.

Developers: Idea factory

Price: ???

One for all you JRPG fans! Super Neptunia RPG is trying to harken back to the good old days of 2D RPGs from the early 90’s. However, Super Neptunia has a stunning art style and gorgeous anime-like character designs.

Not played any of the previous games in the series? No problem. The main character in the game has amnesia, so she doesn’t know whats going on either!

We The Revolution- June 25th

Viva La France!

Developer: Polyslash

Price: $19.99

Viva La Revolution! Set during the start of the French Revolution you play as a Judge. Your job is to decide the fates of the casualties of the revolution. So will you side with the revolutionaries or protect the bourgeoisie?

I’m very interested in this game. I studied the French Revolution at college. I love the idea of putting you in the position of deciding the fate of France during this turbulent period.

Graveyard Keeper- June 27th

Dump bodies in the river and resell their graves!

Developer: Lazy Bear Games

Price: $19.99

Build and manage your own graveyard and be as thrifty and devious as possible to make sure you’re making that cash money! Dig up corses and resell their graves, drain them of all their blood and sell it to a doctor.

The game looks like a ton of fun, with its silliness and beautiful looking pixel graphics.

That was all the best indie games coming to the Nintendo Switch in June 2019. Like I said, there may be more announced during E3. If there is, I’ll be sure to add them!

What indies are you most looking forward to in June? Are there any games you think I’m missing? Let me know over on Twitter or come and join the SIF Discord server!
