Hello, everyone! It is that time of the week again where James Romero and the other guys at SwitchWatchTV compile the best bargains happening on the Nintendo Switch eShop this week and share it with all of us. In the Best Bargains series, it is about choosing the deals that are either unbelievable in price or the game dropping the price is spectacular. Either way, Best Bargains is always a lot of fun to watch and read, so let’s just get into it here on SwitchWatch.co.uk, shall we?

Hello how are you doing everyone? I’m James Romero, and we are back uncovering the very best bargains on the Switch eShop that are worth picking up across the UK, EU, and US eShops. Be sure to let us know your pick of the week for Best Bargains in the comments below, as each week we pick someone to win a $10 eShop voucher. We will announce last week’s winner later on, but for now, let’s jump in and find these best bargains!

Redout

James: Kicking things off with my pick of the week, and this week it’s the anti-gravity racer Redout. With an F-Zero sized hole on the Nintendo platform, games like Fast RMX have swooped in to fill the gap, and Redout does a solid job of doing the same. With a cool futuristic style, a pumping soundtrack, and a healthy campaign mode, there is a lot to like here. What I like is how each ship feels different across teams, and the introduction of controlling the pitch with the right stick. It makes for fast feeling, on the edge of losing control racing. It’s not perfectly polished, but at half price it’s a lot of racer for your money.

Juan and Jordan, what are your picks for this week’s Best Bargains?

Cave Story+

Juan: My pick of the week has to be Cave Story. Not only is it a great game, but I remember waiting weeks for it when I imported it from our friends in the States. I think Nicalis physicals are some of the best around with all the little goodies you get. Here our hero discovers a hidden land and vows to protect the defenseless creatures who live there. This game is both charming and hard as nails at times, but I absolutely loved this platforming adventure from start to finish. It has great story telling, sweet weapons, and awesome action. If you missed it, then now is the time to download with 50% off.

Aragami

Jordan: Hey, guys! My pick of the week is a game that I reviewed when it released digitally, Aragami! This is a nice indie game that dares take on the stealth genre and does so with aplomb. Jumping between shadows, sneaking behind guards on patrol, and with some interesting platforming segments and upgrades, this is an ambitious title for an indie studio. It’s hardly Splinter Cell in its stealth mechanics, but that’s why the current sale comes in. It’s 50% off until May 31st 14.99 in Euros and US dollars and £12.49 in the UK. That’s a very nice price and can be easily recommended for those looking for an indie game that looks like it has a bit more of a budget to it.

Gorogoa

Gorogoa is a critically acclaimed puzzle game from developers Buried Signal. It’s beautiful, imaginative, and often sited as a work of art. It was originally $15 which was always a bit of a stretch for many due to the 2-hour run time, but now with 50% off at $7.99 in the US that is a very good value for your money. If you were on the fence originally, then now is the time to strike.

Super Chariot

If you missed it last time, Super Chariot, the platformer puzzler from Microids has a chunky 90% off! Playing as a princess and her fiancée you need to drag a chariot with the late kings remains through 25 subterranean levels to his final resting place, along the way you are taunted by the ungrateful kings ghost, face enemies, gather loot and take physics based puzzles. It’s a well accomplished game that has replay ability and plenty of fun moments and secrets to find – it’s decent on your own but is a real treat in local coop either in tabletop mode or on a TV. It’s a solid package and at this low a cost you really cannot go wrong!

Feudal Alloy

Feudal Alloy is a metroidvania that is rough around the edges and odd – you play as a goldfish controlling a robotic body in an odd landscape full of robots in a medieval setting, I reviewed this one when it came out and I did enjoy it – there are nice RPG elements thrown in and the puzzles are excellent – its not perfect but at less that £3 its a bargain worth checking out!

Remilore

Remilore is an action RPG that takes the Diablo formula makes it more chilled out. The adventure has some rogue lite elements which are randomised and the levelling up system is interesting, throw into the mix decent combat and nice Japanese voice work and what you have is a nice dungeon looter that you can pick up and play in short, chilled out bursts.

The End is Nigh

Developer by Edmund McMillen and published by Nicalis, The End is Nigh lives up to the standards Edmund has set in his other titles like super meat boy and the binding of Isaac. A dark sense of humor, lovely visuals And perfectly crafted tracks by Ridiculon. The clue is in the title here – you play as ash, a blob and the last one left after an apocalyptic event and you set off in search of a friend – what follows is precision platforming on single screen stages at its finest, you will want to throw your switch at every turn but someone will keep going back for more punishment! A fantastic title not to be skipped

Crystal Crisis

Crystal Crisis is a lovely little action puzzle game. Featuring a crossover of many niche characters, especially those that publisher Nicalis have worked with over the years. It includes Binding of Isaac, Astro Boy, Cave Story, as well as a few other. It’s a color matching game that gives the illusion of a 1 v 1 fighter harking back to a once popular genre. It’s chaotic but very fun, with 50% off across all regions it’s a blast.

Based on true stories and historical events, 1979 Revolution: Black Friday is an interactive drama about choice and consequence, chaos and order. The year is 1978, the place is Tehran, Iran. You play a photojournalist who returns home to find his people protesting the ruling King, the Shah. Armed with your camera, you’re soon pulled into a dangerous world of revolution and civil unrest. The visuals are not great, the interaction is minimal and it’s a short game but story wise it’s fascinating and for the price of a cup of coffee it’s worth it.

EarthLock is a love letter to JRPGs of the PS1 era with its turn based combat, open world to explore and classic mechanics. The game is well crafted and whilst it’s fair to say it’s unlikely to be many people’s absolute favorite – it does everything well and clocks up an impressive amount of content making this one an impressive bargain at this price point.
