10 Most Promising Nintendo Switch Exclusives Of 2018

2. Wargroove

Next up, from one of the most loveable indie devs out there, Chucklefish (who helped bring you Stardew Valley and built Starbound themselves) is Wargroove, a neat turn-based strategy that's essentially RTS base mechanics meets Advance Wars, done retro style.

Playing in either single or two player (locally, of course), you assemble an army form a variety of faction types (even dogs!) before setting out to win, one square of turf at a time. If you've played XCOM, Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy Tactics etc., you'll know the basics, but the addition of resources to bolster your ranks (meaning that the longer a match goes on, the bigger the army becomes), wagons to traverse great distances and buildings to claim keep things dynamic and ever-changing.

Best of all is clearly going to be whipping this out to have a quick game with a friend, as while we wait for someone to devise a two player game where both Joy-Cons stay attached (treating the Switch like an air hockey table), this looks like the next best thing.
