Nintendo Download: Slay Creatures and Defy Your Teachers

Online aRPG Dauntless hits the Switch this week, along with The Talos Principle and an assortment of other indie titles.

Online battling

I can’t say I’m familiar with Dauntless, but you might want to take a look if you’re into action-RPGs. A free-to-play (yes, I know) title, this game sets players to work in an online world, and up against beasts known as Behemoths.

If that’s not your bag though, you might be interested in the puzzle game known as The Talos Principle. The deluxe edition of that game should keep you busy for a while, with 120 puzzles to solve.

Additionally, a demo for Blasphemous also arrives this week, along with Jamestown+, the arcade classic FROGGER, and more.
