Excellent touch-based indie RPG Severed now on the Nintendo Switch
If there is a list of indie games I wouldn’t mind double-dipping for on the Nintendo Switch, then Severed is somewhere at the top. This brilliant little gem from DrinkBox nearly topped my list for Game of the Year contenders last year, and the Switch could be the best possible platform for it.
Severed is already a tight, perfectly paced RPG with the most natural sense of exploration I can think of in recent memory. With the ability to play it on a TV or anywhere in the palms of your hands, not to forget the bonus of playing HD with either choice, this could be the definitive version of the game.
About

Explore a surreal non-linear world using a touch based combat mechanic to defeat enemies in this first-person RPG.
