Indie games deserve their own Smash Bros. Bounty Battle is not that game. On the surface, it does so much right: like Nintendo’s all-star crossover brawler, it gathers dozens of popular characters from a variety of iconic indie games to duke it out in 2D fighting action. But it doesn’t take long for its promises of epic indie crossovers to fall apart. Bounty Battle is broken, hideous, and nothing short of sickening to play. It’s worse than disappointing: it’s a disgrace to the hard work of the indie developers who mistakenly lent their characters to this abomination.
Raw Fury and Massive Damage have shared a new trailer for the rogue-lite strategy RPG Star Renegades. Watch the video below.

Although it launched about half a year ago, Switch fans are still waiting for the release of Doom Eternal. We still don’t have any sort of idea as to when it’s launching on the console, but the good news is that things are coming along.
During a session for PAX Online x EGX Digital, Doom Eternal executive producer Marty Stratton provided a status update. The Switch version is said to be “very close,” and Stratton noted how “we’re trying to be very uncompromising with what it needs to be because there’s a high demand for it.” He added that it’ll be shown “in the not too distant future.”
Stratton’s full words:
Monster Rancher 2 for Switch is more than just a port of the PlayStation original. Koei Tecmo revisited the game and actually implemented a massive amount of changes.
RPG Site has translated all of the details shared about how the Switch version differs from the original. There are subtle things like fixes, but major additions like the ability to download a friend’s monster data for your own monster to fight against, auto-saves, and more.
Here’s the full list:
