There are a number of notable games on the Nintendo Switch that have turned the console into a rousing success for the company — something that was very much required, given the extremely disappointing performance of the Wii U. However, even with the massive pedigree of the Switch, there are still numerous games that fans covet which aren't available on the console... including the highly-rated Persona 5.
So, it was a rather unexpected surprise to see that the spin-off sequel to this game, Persona 5 Strikers, ended up actually making its way to the Nintendo Switch! A great action-RPG that should fit right in with any fan of the Dynasty Warriors series, Persona 5 Strikers is definitely a unique and enjoyable experience in every sense of the word.
For people who wish to try out more games in the same vein, here are ten titles on the Nintendo Switch that any fan of Persona 5 Strikers should try out.
10 Bayonetta 2
The Switch has some brilliant action titles, with Bayonetta 2 being one such game that is infinitely better than its predecessor in every sense of the word.
Nintendo definitely made a good move by acquiring the rights to Bayonetta, allowing for the franchise to flourish in a way that one could never have expected. It's only a given now that the hype for Bayonetta 3 is through the roof, given the massive improvements and rampant success of its predecessor.
9 Astral Chain
Platinum Games has always delivered excellence with their games, and Astral Chain is no exception to this rule. This title features everything from exciting dual-character gameplay to a surprisingly riveting story that will keep fans hooked all the way to the very end.
The partnership between Platinum Games and Nintendo has proven to be a boon for fans, and it goes without saying that there's a long way to go before the magic of this collaboration fades out.
8 Hades
Only Supergiant Games could've taken something so niche as the roguelike genre and made a game that has become mainstream in every sense of the word. This rampant — and rather unexpected — success of Hades was very much deserved, given the amazing quality of the game.
Escaping the Underworld and fighting Hades a total of ten times might seem like a tall order, but the game manages to spice up each run — and death — with new and unique changes in the world that is an absolute treat to witness.
7 Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order
While it's true that the first two games in the Marvel Ultimate Alliance trilogy are way better than the latest title in the series, one shouldn't completely gloss over this title altogether either.
After all, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order is still a solid action title that will keep Marvel fans — and fans of action games in general — more than satisfied with the wealth of content in the game.
6 Torchlight 2
Panic Button has always been at the forefront of porting games to the Nintendo Switch with the utmost finesse, and one need only look at the stellar work they've done on Torchlight 2 to witness their brilliance firsthand.
A relentless action game with surprises at every turn, Torchlight 2 is bound to keep even the most distracted gamer occupied with its sheer wealth of diverse combat and the masterful execution of established tropes in most dungeon-crawling action games.
5 Diablo 3
But, of course, it would be impossible to talk about dungeon crawlers without talking about a seminal franchise that ended up establishing this genre itself — Diablo.
While the third game in the series might've initially been met with lukewarm reception — with a bunch of criticism going towards the always online requirement and an overall dearth of content — Blizzard Entertainment should be given due credit for continually working on this game and improving upon established concepts, leading to the creation of a title worthy of being in the illustrious Diablo franchise.
4 Warriors Orochi 4
It was only a given that a bunch of games with the Dynasty Warriors-style of gameplay would feature in a list talking about games similar to Persona 5 Strikers.
Warriors Orochi 4 is perhaps the most unknown game of the lot, featuring some of the tightest and most satisfying gameplay in the series and serving as a great way for any fan of action titles to spend their time on the Switch.
3 Fire Emblem Warriors
The Fire Emblem series is one of Nintendo's most precious IPs, and one need only look at the oversaturation of Fire Emblem characters in Smash to realize this firsthand.
So, it was only a given that Nintendo's partnership with Koei Tecmo would've led to a Warriors spin-off featuring characters from Fire Emblem — a collaboration that actually turned out to be surprisingly entertaining!
2 Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition
The announcement of the first Hyrule Warriors title was met with a fair bit of skepticism. While fans were happy to have more games with familiar Zelda characters and tropes, the apparently shallow gameplay of the Dynasty Warriors series sowed some seeds of doubt in the fanbase.
Thankfully, the release of Hyrule Warriors was met with positive reception across the board, with the only negative stemming from this experience stemming from the repetitive gameplay — a rather subjective issue that fans of Musou games would've had little to no problems dealing with.
1 Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity
However, while Hyrule Warriors was a great game in its own right, one has to admit that the hype for its sequel was through the roof since its announcement. After all, Breath of the Wild was nothing short of a masterpiece, and people would've been more than enthused with playing more games in the same universe... with the same art style as well!
The idea of playing through the first rise of Calamity Ganon was quite alluring, and Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity definitely does justice to this notion with brilliant gameplay and a riveting story to keep fans entertained all the way to the end of this unique title.
