Have a Nice Death – In the action roguelike you play the Grim Reaper
Release date: March 22nd
Have a Nice Death is a 2D roguelike with an atmospheric art design that oscillates between dark and cute. We play Death himself, who has been completely reworked and unfortunately has to realize that his employees are now going crazy and disturbing the balance of souls. So he has no choice but to grab his scythe and keep things in order. The gameplay relies entirely on fast-paced and action-packed hack & slash battles, while the thirty different spells and weapons enable powerful combos. If we fail, we have to go back to the beginning, as usual with roguelikes. But we collect loot and experience for the next try. Until March 21st you get a 20% discount in the Nintendo eShop.

Figment 2 – Musical Adventure continues on Switch and gets a demo
Will be released in: March
Like its predecessor, Figment 2 also takes us into a fascinating, surreal world, which is superbly staged by the colourful, fairytale-like art design. Once again we embark on a journey through the human subconscious in the isometric action-adventure. Our mission is to protect the psyche from the threat of harmful nightmares. To do this, we have to solve tricky puzzles and survive numerous battles. What’s new is that this time we switch back and forth between two different perspectives, namely cosmopolitan and narrow-minded, and can thus perceive our surroundings in different ways. In addition, we can now tackle the adventure for two in local co-op.

Release date: March 9th
Ib is a remake of a 2012 Japanese 2D horror adventure that initially didn’t get much attention in the west, but has since developed into a real insider tip thanks to its many crazy, surreal and terrifying ideas. You play as the young girl Ib, who is visiting an art gallery with her parents, but suddenly realizes that she is alone and the building and artwork around her begin to change. Ib must now find a way out of the labyrinthine gallery while encountering other characters who are just as lost as she is. Depending on your actions and choices, the game will lead you to seven different endings.

backbeat
In Backbeat we solve riddles related to the sound of funk music.
Release date: March 16th
Backbeat is a mix of music game and puzzle adventure set in 90’s USA. We slip into the role of a young bass player who, in search of the right sound, discovers funk for herself. Now she is trying to gather a band around herself with which she can win the big band battle. The story takes us through 40 different locations where we have to bring our band members together in the right place with perfect timing. We always move to the beat of an atmospheric funk soundtrack. The more members we have, the more complex the puzzles become, especially since each character has its own supermove. There is a 10 percent discount in the Nintendo eShop until the release.

The Settlers: New Alliances
In The Settlers: New Alliances we create idyllic villages again, but we also often take up arms.
Will be released in: March
The latest installment in the time-honored Settlers series is making its way to Nintendo Switch. The development strategy game lets you take control of three visually very different races (the Elari, the Maru and the Jorn). Thanks to the excellent, colorful graphics and the great animations, it is a pleasure to just watch the residents scurrying through the streets. In order to make our settlement a success, we must produce a wide variety of goods and provide the necessary infrastructure. While the commodity chains are less complex than in previous Settlers games, there is a greater focus on combat and real-time strategy that sets The Settlers: New Alliances apart from other city building games.
