It’s another exciting week for RPG fans with two eagerly anticipated games released on Nintendo Switch.

It’s another exciting week for RPG fans with two eagerly anticipated games released on Nintendo Switch.
It’s somewhat baffling that Persona 5 still hasn’t come to the Nintendo Switch. We can only assume that Sony has Atlus in a contractual stranglehold. Action RPG Persona 5 Strikers is no replacement, but it’s a welcome addition to the Switch library nonetheless.
Taking place after the events of Persona 5, the game follows Joker and friends on a journey across Japan to solve a series of strange events. It’s an appropriately stylish spin-off, but to make the most of it, knowledge of the franchise and an appreciation for Dynasty Warriors-style gameplay is a must.
More traditional RPG mechanics are on offer in Bravely Default II from Claytechworks and Square Enix. The game features a brand new cast of characters and setting, plus a refreshed take on the Brave Point battle system. If you want to try before you buy, the excellent Nintendo eShop demo features around five-hours of gameplay.
Other new releases include narrative-driven exploration game Aery – A Journey Beyond Time and sci-fi action RPG, Hellpoint.
Here’s the full lineup of this week’s Nintendo Switch games. We’ll update this page throughout the week with any late arrivals.
