Highrisers

Highrisers sees players attempting to lead their survivors and gather supplies, craft gear, and eventually repair the helicopter that can take them to safety. The four are trapped in the building as a mysterious condition turns humanity into Dreamers, creatures that shun the light but come out at night to attack those who resist the spread. Highrisers is heavily crafting-focused, with each character having their own unique skill tree unlocking new perks, recipes, and interactions, and each campaign features randomly-generated layouts to encourage multiple playthroughs.

Rogue Wizards

Rogue Wizards is a fantasy-themed roguelike, where players’ wizards explore randomly-generated dungeons, battle Guild Wizard bosses, and collect powerful loot. Between dungeons they can enhance and customise their own wizard tower, building up the town around it.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD is a remaster of Nintendo Wii title The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. The remaster translates the Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuk motion control system to the Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons, but there will also be button controls for those playing in handheld mode or on the Nintendo Switch Lite.
