Masquerada: Songs and Shadows made its debut last year. The tactical RPG is now setting its sights on Switch, Witching Hour Studios has revealed.

Here’s a brief overview of Witching Hour Studios:

Masquerada is a single-player tactical RPG set in a Renaissance-inspired city of magic, where real-time combat can be paused to set up elemental combos powered by Venetian-styled masks. Come for gorgeous hand-drawn art; stay for the rich lore & a thoughtful, fully-voiced tale of intrigue & tragedy.

And a trailer:

Ysbryd Games will publish Masquerada: Songs and Shadows on Switch in Q4 2017.

Hex Gambit has managed to reach its funding goal on Kickstarter. One Man Left Studios was looking to raise $11,000, which was just reached. Switch was a part of the main goal, so the game is officially confirmed for Nintendo’s console.

Here’s what you can expect from Hex Gambit:

In a world called Agon, the sharpest strategic minds command squads of expendable automatons in an explosive arena sport called the Hex Gambit.

Hex Gambit is a unique turn-based strategy game coming to Steam and the Nintendo Switchâ„¢ console, from the makers of the cult classic Outwitters (view our entire catalog of games here). It’s designed to get to the fun part fast: Drag and drop minions onto your side of the map on Turn 1; start hitting stuff on Turn 2! Games typically last 10-30 minutes (depending how fast you think), with the action always intensifying in the late game for an epic conclusion.

Hex Gambit will be on Switch sometime in 2018.

Also in the works is Prodigy, an upcoming tactical RPG developed by Hanakai Studio. It was funded on Kickstarter back in 2014.

Here’s a brief overview:

Prodigy is a head to head tactical role playing game with mixed turn-based and real time multiplayer action, pitting your heroes against those of your friends or online opponent. The game will feature both PvE and PvP modes, including Ranked and Unranked Multiplayer.

Forever Entertainment will be putting the “electronic” version of Prodigy on Switch. The download version makes use of a “digital board tested through a closed Alpha”, and it “will be entirely compatible” with the physical version.
