A Robot Named Fight is a game very reminiscent of Super Metroid, down to the artstyle, soundwork, and gameplay, but adding in Roguelike elements, like a randomly generated map, restarting completely upon death, and getting more items unlocked based on your progression. The body-horror aesthetic makes for some interesting visuals and boss designs, while disturbing story beats and background elements offer some fascinating world building for those willing to soak it in and pay attention. All in all if you ever wanted to put Metroid through the Binding of Issac meat grinder, A Robot Named Fight is a game you might want to check out. It runs very well on Switch, barring a few instances of slowdown when tons of sprites are on screen.

20XX is the perfect indie love letter to the Mega Man X franchise, while showing its indie roots with a committed "roguelite" design, where you'll start the whole game over again once you die, but earn the ability to unlock more items as you go. It finds a way to marry both in a manner that comes across frantic, fast-paced and challenging each time. Taking control of two starting characters with ranged or melee attacks, you'll dash your way through various levels of randomized tilesets and increasing difficulty to take down 8 monster robots, optionally take on their powers, and hopefully escape the facility. What 20XX lacks in any kind of deep lore or history, it makes up for with sheer high-octane action platforming.. once you get used to it at least. Expect quite a bit of a learning curve, and you'll be soaring through levels in no time. 20XX is more than worth the price of admission if this seems like something that would interest you, and you miss the dash and wall-climb action of the X series. Just prepare to die a lot while learning the ropes, and if you're new and find things too rough, play on Revenant difficulty until you get used to how it all works. Granting 9 out of 10 ony because updates on Switch are slower to come out than on PC, and the game looks slightly blurrier than the original PC version, but runs just as smooth.
