Switch] Nintendo-Switch recommended RPGs for a fun and profound story experience.

The NINTENDO Switch is popular for its ability to enjoy games anytime, anywhere. It is loved by a wide range of users because it is easy to play. Although action games are popular on the Switch, many RPGs with deep stories are also available.

Here are some of the recommended RPGs that can be played on the Switch. We have selected "FINAL FANTASY IX," which was released on PlayStation and was created with the aim of "returning to the roots," and a new game by the author of "UNDERTALE," which drew attention as an independent game. We hope you will experience the deep story.

FINAL FANTASY IX

SQUARE ENIX

Suggested retail price (including tax): 2,500 yen

(Released on February 14, 2019)

(c) 2000, 2019 SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved.

The last Final Fantasy title released on PlayStation. FF IX has been ported to the Switch, and while FF is a story about crystals, FF IX is a game developed under the theme of returning to the series' origins.

FF IX is characterized by its storybook-like worldview. The story of the main character Zitan, Princess Garnet (Dagger), and the wizard Bibi, whose thoughts and feelings progress as a single work of art, is a must-see. What is depicted in the game is life itself. I hope you will play the game and grasp the feelings of each character.

The battle system is one of the most interesting aspects of RPGs, and it is the familiar FF active time battle. The fact that each character has its own unique commands is also a good thing, just like a royal road RPG.

Although this game was released in 2000, you can still enjoy playing it now. If you just want to follow the story, you can use the boost function to select "max ability" or "no encounters," which should make it easier to play. We hope you will try playing this classic RPG on the Switch.

DELTARUNE Chapter 1 Hachinoyon

Suggested retail price (tax included): free

(Released on February 28, 2019)

DELTARUNE (c) Toby Fox 2018-2019. All rights reserved.

The latest title from the author of "Undertale," which has become one of the most popular indie games in the world. However, if possible, we would like you to check out "UNDERTALE" first before playing this title. Although the store description says "a different world from 'Undertale,'" the game's graphics make it seem as if the worlds are connected.

The unique worldview is still present in this game as in "Undertale. The setting is an underground world of darkness. The game takes place in a dark, slightly creepy world. What kind of story awaits you beyond this world? ...... This game is free, so please feel free to play.

The battle system is now a battle system where you fight with your friends. It is good that the side-view is used so that you can see your character's figure. Enemy attacks are like in a bullet-hell shooter game, and you can choose to avoid them, or you can choose to defeat them or not, the same as in "Undertale.

First of all, it is Chapter 1, but I am curious to see what will happen in the future. We hope you will give it a try.

LOST SPHEAR

SQUARE ENIX

Suggested retail price (including tax): 6,264 yen

(Released on October 12, 2017)

(c) 2017 SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved. Developed by Tokyo RPG Factory.

This is the second title of "Project SETSUNA" presented by Tokyo RPG Factory and Square Enix. You must not miss the game, which is a new RPG but unfolds in an atmosphere that evokes something nostalgic. This is a title that should be of interest to those who used to play games as children but do not play anymore.

*Introduced within the scope of what you can play in the demo version.

This title is reminiscent of a retro RPG. First of all, if you look at the cityscape, each building is designed to match the atmosphere of the town. There are treasure chests and hidden items in the city, and there are many places to stop by before proceeding with the main storyline. Items can be bought in stores, but in the beginning you want to make do with what you can pick up.

The battle system is called ATB 2.0, an evolution of the Active Time Battle (ATB) that you have experienced if you like RPGs. Although it is a command battle, characters move when they attack, so standing in the right position is important. Attacks have a set range, so if your friends are clumped together, you could be hit hard.

Please check out this simple yet profound battle and enjoy the royal road story.

WORK×WORK

FLEW

Suggested retail price (including tax): 5,378 yen

(Released on October 4, 2018)

(c) FURYU Corporation.

WORK" means "to work. This title is based on the theme of such "WORK. The main character works at a theme park as a part-time job. The money he brought with him is confiscated and he is given a few things he can use here. To earn money, yes, you have to work.

*This is as far as you can play in the trial version.

The job the player performs is that of a dungeon instructor. The dungeon progresses in the style of a game of life, where you advance one square at a time, and events and battles occur depending on the squares you stop at.

By the way, the screen in the dungeon is drawn with dots. You can see it when you look at it! The characters are designed to be a little thicker, like rubber straps. I really feel the author's attention to detail in the dots.

In battles, each character thinks of something before taking action. This is a way of thinking about how to attack the dungeon by having a meeting beforehand. It is easy not to have to give instructions because the battles are fought automatically, but I felt that preparation before the attack is important.

This work is by the creators of many masterpieces. If you are interested, check it out. (New Samurai)
