2019 started off strong in January with some awesome indie games that came to the Nintendo Switch. My personal favourite was YIIK: A Post Modern RPG and I can’t wait to get around to Feudal Alloy too!

But there’s no rest for the wicked, February is not only my birthday month but also jam packed with epic indie games coming to the Nintendo Switch.

Here’s some of my favourites:

Wargroove

Release Date: February 1st

Developer: Chucklefish

Price: $19.99

We finally found out in Nintendo UK’s Indie Highlights video back in January that the highly anticipated Wargroove would be coming to the Nintendo Switch on February 1st (a rare Friday release).

The spiritual successor to Advanced Wars, Wargroove looks to have a quirky story, mixed in with challenging strategical combat!

Reverie Sweet As Edition

Release Date: February 7th

Developer: Rainbite

Price: $12.99

Have you been dreaming for years about an english version of Mother 3 coming to the latest Nintendo console? Well…. Reverie Sweet As Edition is probably the closest thing you’re going to get to that on the Nintendo Switch. And what’s better is, the game is set in New Zealand.

I originally played Reverie on the PS Vita and absolutely loved it! So can’t wait to dive back into the Sweet As edition!

Away: Journey to the Unexpected

Release Date: February 7th

Developer: Aurelien Regard / Jean-Matthieu Gennisson

Price: $19.99

I first noticed Away during the Kinda Funny Games Daily Showcase and thought it looked really unique.

The mix of anime and FPS really intrigued me and the ability to switch between different characters means gameplay looks like it’s going to be extremely varied.

The Lair Princess and the Blind Prince

Release Date: February 12th

Developer: NIS America

Price: $39.99

I mostly put this game in because of it beautiful art style so here’s some details from the Press Release.

‘The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince follows the tale of two lonely hearts brought together through a mutal misunderstanding. In it, you control the wolf, disguised as a princess, who guides the blind prince through a perilous forest in search of the witch capable of restoring his sight. The forest is home to a number of hostile creatures intent on ending your journey prematurely, as well as hazardous traps that put the prince in danger.

Switch between wolf and princess form to dispatch your foes, and guide the prince carefully as a princess to ensure his safety, in search of a fairytale ending.’

The Switch Stance edition includes both OlliOlli and OlliOlli 2: Welcome to Olliwood.

‘RemiLore is a “rogue-lite” anime-style adventure set in a colorful fantasy world where players hack-and-slash their way through an army of mechanical monsters using a huge variety of unique melee weapons and devastating magic attacks!



Remi, an ordinary high school student, has awakened Lore, a talking book who is a self-proclaimed “master” of magic. Together, they are drawn into the magical world of Ragnoah, which has been overtaken by nefarious mecha-monsters.

Ape Out

Release Date: February 28th

Developer: Gabe Cuzzilo

Price: $14.99

A Smash’em Up where you play as a guerrilla trying to escape a test lab. Ape Out mixes stylised visuals with rhythmic violence. This means the more damage you do, the harder it is for your enemies to stop you!

The sound design of the game is also interesting as the music is made up of your actions, so you basically make up your own music!



So there’s were all the best looking indie games coming to the Nintendo Switch in February. What game’s will you be picking up? What games will you be skipping? Let me know over on Twitter or come and join our Discord server.
