6 underrated Nintendo Switch Indie Games you need to try

#2 Owlboy

Initial Release Date: 13 February 2018

Owlboy has possibly one of the best art styles among any indie game ever. Owlboy is a platforming adventure game where you control an Owl and boy hybrid character who can fly across platforms and carry objects.

You can also carry weapons as you encounter enemies that you might find along the way. The game also has dungeons and features extremely powerful bosses who can be incredibly hard to defeat. The plot of the story is not too great but it is still fun. Combined with all these great things about the game, Owlboy is one of the best underrated indie games you can get for the Nintendo Switch.

#1 The Messenger

Initial Release Date: 30 August 2018

The Messenger is heavily inspired by Ninja Gaiden, one of the most popular platforming games in the 90s. The game features classic elements such as run-and-gun, encountering enemies, dungeons and bosses. Players can also upgrade their weapon throughout the game

You essentially control a ninja character, so he is very fluid in movements, has long range and short range attacks and can be stealthy if necessary. Ninja Gaiden has lost its original charm but The Messenger reminds us what a truly amazing game it was and is also amazing in its own way.
