6 Unique Games Featured in the indie.io Publisher Sale on Nintendo Switch

Alright, here goes nothing. Let’s get into the weirdness.

So there’s this thing called indie.io, and it’s kinda like… I don’t know, a buffet for video game lovers? Yeah, that makes sense. It’s all about tossing different games from all sorts of developers into one big pot. And hey, if you’ve got a Nintendo Switch, there’s a sale happening until July 30. You won’t want to miss it. Or maybe you will. Who knows?

Anyway, jeez, I got sidetracked. The sale’s got it all: cozy games to tactical ones with beasts and managing stuff — really, just pick your poison. So, lemme blabber about six games that stood out. And here we go…

Echoes of the Plum Grove

Kick off with a 20% off deal. Imagine a farming game — but make it like… those dolls inside other dolls, what’s it called? Oh, nesting! Generations rolling into one another, anyway. You start with basically zilch on some island, a patch of dirt. Grow some crops, shout at neighbors, maybe (uh) poison them? Seems drastic. Hand-drawn worlds, those 2D avatars in 3D spaces… cozy stuff. Oh, and there are mysteries too, because every nice farm needs a mystery.

Dark Deity

Wow, 75% off! That’s cheap. So, a strategy RPG inspired by old-school stuff. Assemble your band of merry warriors, slap them onto a battlefield, and hope they don’t get — I dunno — maimed. If they do, though, their stats fall apart, so it’s like adding insult to injury. Push through 28 chapters, sink 20+ hours, maybe even snag the DLC on the cheap. Remind me, what’s "Suns Out, Swords Out"? A swimsuit contest? No idea.

Coromon

Half off for a game that hugs the classics and shakes ’em up. Monsters galore — over a hundred to wrangle and whip into shape. They’ve got elements, traits, skills, all this stuff that probably means something if you’re into that kind of micromanagement. SP points to burn through for battling, traits triggering like… magic, I guess? Roam six biomes to stop a calamity or whatever the threat is. Plot twists in a monster game? Sure, why not.

Cat Cafe Manager

What you see is what you get. Seriously. 40% off, and you run a ‘catfeteria’ — yup, made that up. Old cafe, cats everywhere, people enjoy a cuppa with a purr. Expansion, design, everything your own grand masterpiece, kinda. Hire folks, upskill ’em, rub whiskers with those on two legs and four. And not that it’s a mystery game, but who knows what you’ll stumble on while brewing coffee?

9 Years of Shadows

Change of pace — a side-scrolling Metroid-what now? 35% off, too. Color’s been vacuumed out of the world; it’s black, white, and bleh. Europa, the heroine, and her bear buddy, Apino, embark on an epic quest against a… giant? Talos? Imagine them regaining the world’s colors while jamming to tunes by super composers from Castlevania and Metal Gear Solid. Sounds epic, right?

Mail Time

Back to cozyville for just 30% off. Dress up your courier in this cozy-adventure-fairy-garden mash-up. Hop, skip, and glide around to deliver letters. No rush, no stress, no compiling spreadsheets. Just deliver, upgrade your skills, and savor simplicity. Some days, being a forest mail carrier seems like the dream… until you remember bugs exist. Okay, tangent done.

So there it is. At least, I think that covers it all. But maybe I’m wrong. Enjoy the sale, or just uh, ignore me and watch some cat videos instead. Up to you.
