Defend the tower
Edited by Goblinz Studio to whom we already owed Legend of Keepers†
Defend the tower is a title at the crossroads of several genres. Between roguelike, Tactical-RPG and Tower Defense, the One Up Plus game asks you to take on waves of enemies on a square board in turn-based combat. In addition to the heroes you control, you can place towers and upgrade them to beat your opponents more easily. Powerful spells and other traps are also at your disposal to turn the situation in your favor. As a roguelike, encounters are procedurally generated to make each encounter unique.

Gotta Protectors: Cart of Darkness
With its cute and colorful pixel art style, Gotta Protectors: Cart of Darkness is a top-down action-adventure game with a retro vibe reminiscent of NES games. On a rather parody note, you have to install Princess Lola in a cart and move her on the rails through each level until you destroy the enemy castle by running over it. It’s up to you to assemble your team with the eight Gotta Protectors to face the legions of monsters that await you. Of course, there are classic classes like the magician or the ninja that can be personalized with a myriad of skills. The game is mainly designed to collaborate locally or online for up to 4 players. Finally, the soundtrack is no longer composed by Yuzo Koshiro, known for his work on Streets of anger† Shen Mue or space harrier†

inner voices
If Nintendo consoles are quite known for hosting games for kids, the fact remains that horror games make regular appearances on Switch. This is the case of inner voices, a first-person adventure and horror game that immerses us in the mind of John Blake, a tormented man who hears voices. Being trapped in a trap from which no one has managed to break free, the player must try to escape from this place while most of the things visible on the screen are not real. The title offers a certain replayability as the scenario is non-linear and the labyrinth is composed of randomly generated rooms while new voices will chase you. In total there are more than five different endings that you can recover after solving different puzzles in this haunting atmosphere.

Nobody saves the world
If you don’t know Nobody saves the worldmaybe you have already heard about its developer’s previous hit, which is Guacamelee!† But this time Drinkbox Studios offers us, instead of a metroidvania, an action role-playing game in which the player embodies Nobody, a very ordinary person, except that he can transform into a whole series of creatures. From the ghost to the dragon to the snail, in total our little character has more than 15 different shapes. In addition, it is possible to combine more than 80 skills and other powerful powers with these transformations to create effective combinations. As the icing on the cake, the title also allows you to team up locally and online to help the inhabitants of this world who offer unique missions and navigate procedurally generated evolving dungeons.
