The gaming industry has certainly experienced a rise in the popularity of indie games within the last several years. From Shovel Knight to Undertale, Celeste, or Hades, these games have made a huge splash in the scene, and have coincidentally all made their way onto Switch. Indeed, the platform has found itself to be quite the reliable indie game machine, and as such it feels only fitting that Tunic, a little indie marvel that landed on Xbox earlier this year, would find its way here. It certainly feels right at home on the system, and I definitely enjoyed my time with it; the concept of an indie Zelda-like 2D adventure game remains novel and captivating, and I welcome more entries in the genre. Tunic is definitely a solid little title with some neat ideas, but it doesn’t quite break the mold in the way that the indie classics I mentioned earlier might have.
Subset Games has started distribution of another Into the Breach update, with the game moving up to version 1.2.77 on Switch.
Some additions, improvements, and fixes are included here. The team added a couple of new music tracks, enhanced the save file backup system, and more.
The full patch notes are as follows:
We have yet another Marvel’s Midnight Suns character trailer, this time highlighting Nico Minoru. Although she has a ton of power as a witch, the magic can be chaotic and unpredictable.
