6 Unique Games Featured in the indie.io Publisher Sale on Nintendo Switch

Okay, here it goes:

So, there’s this platform called indie.io, and they do this cool thing where they team up with game developers to put out all sorts of video games. I mean, it’s like a buffet of genres—pick your flavor and dig in. Right now, there’s a big ol’ sale on a bunch of their stuff on the Nintendo Switch. It runs till the end of July, so get on that if you’re into bargains.

Now, if you took a peek at indie.io’s whole lineup, you’d see they’ve got a bit of everything. From cozy little adventures to tactical RPGs and even creature collecting shenanigans. You name it! I thought I’d chat about six games in this sale because, well, variety is the spice of life, right? Here’s what caught my eye:

Echoes of the Plum Grove – 20% off

Ah, the joys of farming games. They’re everywhere these days, aren’t they? Echoes of the Plum Grove does this cool thing where it spans generations. Picture this: you wash up on an island, start with a tiny farm, and over time, expand and build a family. You can either be a total sweetheart to your neighbors or just, you know, poison them if they annoy you. The game world’s all hand-drawn—2D characters in 3D spaces, giving off those snug vibes we all secretly love. Oh, and there are island mysteries to poke around in, if that’s your thing.

Dark Deity – 75% off

So, Dark Deity—it’s like dancing with the classics of the RPG world. You’ve got an army to build, battles to win, and characters with classes that grow stronger over time, all wrapped up in turn-based combat. There are 30 characters to toy with. But don’t get too attached—a bad decision means they come out the other side with scars that affect their stats. You’re the strategist in this 28-chapter saga. And hey, there’s some extra content for less if you want to keep the fun going after the main storyline.

Coromon – 50% off

Monster tamers rejoice! Coromon gives you over 100 critters to catch and raise, each armed with its own element and skill set. It’s like a strategic dance deciding how and when to unleash those powerful attacks since they cost valuable SP. Delightful chaos, right? There’s this sprawling story setting you against a mysterious foe, throwing in twists when you least expect them.

Cat Cafe Manager – 40% off

Okay, let’s be real. The title’s all you need here. You’re managing a cat cafe—that’s the deal. You stumble upon this run-down cafe in Caterwaul Way (such a name, right?) and decide to spruce it up for both cats and customers. Decorate, expand, hire staff, and make furry friends. There’s also a whole village to chat with and goodies to discover. Who doesn’t need a little cat chaos in their life?

9 Years of Shadows – 35% off

Now, onto something different! 9 Years of Shadows is this intense side-scrolling world where color’s been sucked out for almost a decade (the name gave it away). You, as Europa (yep, a warrior), have your hands full trying to restore it. You’ve got a cute bear buddy named Apino to help bring back the vibrancy, and together, you take on this giant baddie, Talos. And the soundtrack? Top-notch. Like, legendary composers top-notch.

Mail Time – 30% off

Rounding it off with something mellow, Mail Time is here for all the relaxation seekers. You’re this courier zipping around a whimsical forest delivering letters—yeah, proper cottagecore vibes. Customize your character, and enjoy the chill platforming. No time limits, no danger. Just you, some woodland critters, and the joy of delivering mail, stress-free.

And that’s the tour, folks. Plenty to explore and snatch up at a discount if any of these floated your boat. Go forth and play!
