    Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World should be looked upon as an example of what a 25-year-old game could look like with the graphical technology of today. It doesn’t veer far from the source material, though, so the game itself feels basic compared with what the modern-day gamer is used to.

    Drago Noka is so close to being an enjoyable game, however, a myriad of bizarre and disappointing design choices hold it back from ever being anything other than sub-par.

    Goblin Sword offers an ideal commute experience with its short levels and simplistic gameplay, but that also means anyone looking for a deep or diverse experience will sadly be disappointed. This is an arcade-style action-platformer that just falls a bit short of satisfying.

    Little Racer has the right intentions and provides a pleasant-looking racer with a credible track builder. It’s just unfortunate that the actual racing itself is lacklustre and becomes tedious after numerous repeats of the same tracks.

    While its audience will of course be niche, this is a genre that the Switch needs to start seeing more of. Less a game than a Kindle app, the medium is perfectly suited to visual novel titles like this.

    With online still to come, there's a bit more that Hammerwatch has to offer in the future. But I just couldn't take enough charm or personality from the game to make it stand out, especially when that eShop to-play list just keeps on growing...

    Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 is by and large a pretty bland experience. There’s not a lot of personality on show, and the handling of the vehicles leaves much to be desired. Some interesting open-world designs later on aren’t enough to justify a higher score here.

    Originally appearing an interesting adventure title with unique visuals, Shelter Generations disappoints in its lack of a clear focus and the graphics not paying off.

    Football Manager 2019 Touch lets you take any team as high up the league ladder as you can – but it’s clunky and rough around the edges on Switch. FIFA is the preferred option.

    Baseball Riot is a textbook puzzle game that struggles to add anything to the core ideas, a fun setting and plenty of levels don't really hide that this game is relatively uninspired. It's by no means bad but can be hard to recommend to everyone.

    While it sports an intriguing premise and a few jump scares that may catch you completely off guard, Rise of Insanity ultimately fails to provide anything you can’t find in other, better horror-based adventure games on the Nintendo Switch.

    Gems of War starts off as a fun and simple match-3 puzzle game with RPG elements, but a ridiculous difficulty spike and predatory micro-transactions will put most players off quickly.

    Again, it's the price point which makes this game stick. If you try it and don't enjoy it, so what? It was only £3. Tactics fans will enjoy it more than casual players, but it's realistic for everyone to at least try out.

    For fans of the anime, Fairy Tail may be the best thing since sliced bread. For JRPG fans who couldn’t care less about the source material, this is just another basic release that fails to do anything remotely interesting.

    Acthung! Cthulhu Tactics will offer a good, alternate experience to long-time fans of the genre, but has some issues across the board that hold it back from being something that stands out on its own merits.

    One Night Stand is too short to offer a satisfying visual novel. The emphasis here is on making different decisions to get all twelve endings, but subsequent playthroughs are shorter and nowhere near as interesting as the first.

    Please, Touch The Artwork is a great experience, but it’s not a particularly great game. I found its puzzles fun and serviceable, but not very compelling. The execution is generally sound, except for an inexplicable handheld-only requirement.

    Alchemic Jousts offers a truly imaginative idea and makes it as monotonous as possible. Can be fun in short bursts or with a friend, but otherwise, you will find better examples of single-player titles elsewhere in this genre.

    Warhammer 40,000: Space Wolf offers decent strategy gameplay for those fans looking for something as similar to XCOM as possible. However, lacking tutorials, weak story, and watered-down mechanics make Space Wolf feel like XCOM-lite with cards.

    Kinduo is a fantastic puzzle platformer, easy to learn and not too difficult to master. But it doesn’t present players with enough content to keep them engaged for longer than a single evening.

    Some dodgy voice acting and a generally generic aesthetic don’t do a great job of boosting this Star Fox-esque shooter into hyperspace. However, fans of the genre might find some fun in amongst the asteroid field of Star Wars references.

    TerraTech showcases its strengths proudly in focusing on vehicular creations, whilst leaving the rest of the world behind. Unfortunately, this immediately limits both the immersion and enjoyment found within, and leaves the experience feeling like an early-access title awaiting a larger content pack.

    Night Trap is no masterpiece. As a game, it’s not wonderful – its plot is nigh-on impossible to follow and you have to replay the game over and over until you figure out what to do. However, you need to play it because of its historical significance.

    Air Mail is best played for its exploration and character. More memorable missions would have pushed the score up here - as they are, they're far too uninspiring.

    There are flaws under the hood that hinder Tracks – Toy Box Edition from fulfilling its aim. The user interface feels counter-productive, especially with a lack of touchscreen compatibility. Patience may prove fruitful, but overall, it’s not the smoothest ride.

    Galaxy Warfighter has a really cool level-up screen, but beyond that, it’s a pretty standard space shooting affair. It goes on for a hundred levels, but they all feel the same, save for the choice of four end-of-level bosses.

    With a dark story that involves daemons and anime tropes, Monark presents a JRPG experience that comes with many unique, but half-baked ideas. While it has deep and interesting combat, the other elements are either badly implemented or underdeveloped.

    Georifters has some good puzzle ideas at its core but becomes repetitive too soon. Multiplayer offers more entertainment, but the price is too high to make this title worthy of your time. This sweet snack lacks bite.

    Captain Sabertooth is, on one hand, a pleasantly surprising stab at a 2.5D platformer that fans of the series may enjoy. However, it has too many issues which will only serve to alienate young and old players alike.

    Despite falling into an overcrowded genre, there’s plenty of unique ideas primed to help Feudal Alloy flourish on Switch. Before it does, however, it needs to master the necessary basics.
