The Nintendo Switch has been an amazing success since it’s release, with globally praised big-budget games released on the little handheld system on a monthly basis.

This list is a look at some of the best-hidden gems games you can play right now on the beloved Nintendo console.
The Hidden Gems On Switch

APE OUT

APE OUT is a wildly intense and colorfully stylized smash ‘em up about primal escape, rhythmic violence, and frenetic jazz. Build up nearly unstoppable momentum and use your captors as both weapons and shields to crush everyone on your procedurally generated path to freedom. It’s a refreshingly original experience that more than deserves a place in any Switch owner’s library. Difficult, frenetic gameplay, a strong art direction, and an even stronger jazz drum soundtrack make this the sort of memorable game that you’ll likely keep coming back to over and over for another few runs in arcade mode.

CITY OF BRASS

Become a daring thief in City of Brass, a first-person action-adventure from senior BioShock developers. Armed with a scimitar and a versatile whip, you’ll lash and slash, bait and trap your way to the heart of an opulent, Arabian Nightsthemed metropolis or face certain death as time runs out. With genii to imbue you with wacky powers and the evertantalizing need to collect more gold, Uppercut Games has produced one of the most entertaining roguelikes available on the Switch right now.
