Mario & Luigi: Brothership

95 %

2024 Nintendo Switch

  • Turn-based combat
  • Lots of humour
  • Distinctive, stylised art style

Mario and Luigi sail an island-ship across a fractured ocean world, fighting turn-based battles where precise timed inputs and flashy Bros. Attacks make the difference. It's all wrapped in slapstick humor and a vibrant cel-shaded style.

Costume Quest

Turn-based combat

A charming Double Fine Halloween RPG where kids trick-or-treat through the neighborhood and their homemade costumes transform into giant heroes for turn-based battles with timed button presses. Funny, short and very approachable.

World of Final Fantasy

Distinctive, stylised art style

A charming chibi-styled Final Fantasy adventure where twins Lann and Reynn capture, raise and stack monsters into towers for classic ATB battles. It's a loving celebration packed with cameos from series favourites.

Escape from Ever After

Turn-based combat

A comedic RPG where a fairytale hero takes a job at a megacorp that is taking over storybook worlds. Snappy, stylish combat and trips into genre-bending books from Lovecraftian to sci-fi keep things fresh.

South Park: The Stick of Truth

Distinctive, stylised art style

A turn-based RPG that looks exactly like a playable South Park episode: as the new kid in town you join Cartman and friends in a backyard fantasy war that spirals wildly out of control. Timed attack inputs and crude, irreverent humor define the experience.

One Piece Odyssey

Turn-based combat

A classic turn-based JRPG where you explore a mysterious island with the Straw Hat crew and relive well-known One Piece moments in a new form. Best suited for fans of the series, with an easy, accessible battle system.

Final Fantasy X-2

Turn-based combat

The sequel to Final Fantasy X follows an all-female trio in a fast active-time battle system where you swap jobs mid-fight via Dresspheres. The tone is much lighter and poppier, with flexible mission order and incentives for multiple playthroughs.
