ever since its launched back in March the switch has been getting a growing library of awesome titles now of course there's been big-name stuff like splatoon to Arms and of course Legend of Zelda but there's a lot more out there that's worth people playing now at the twenty to thirty dollar mark there's a lot of great stuff but let's go even cheaper let's talk about games that are twelve bucks eight bucks even as low as five let's talk about the best cheap games on the switch kicking things off with the cheapest of the cheap at just five dollars is comic oh now this is a very simple retro style game think of like an old-school Zelda game but on fast-forward at all times the basic idea is they have to get through each level killing enemies to build up energy and then spend the energy to open up chests or activate special shrines and make your way out of the level the gameplay is just simple enough to make it really easy to learn and very easy to invest a little bit of time into here and there but just complex enough to make it a ton of fun to play and why isn't necessarily the longest game out there one of the things that helps give it a lot more game time is that there are three different characters to play it each of which has just an interestingly different enough style to make playing through this title at least three times completely worth it and honestly don't take my word for it it's five bucks just try it you'll love it next up let's talk about one of the port's that made its way to the switch and if you've ever gone through the switch library you'll notice that one thing there's a lot of right now our ports of old-school Neo Geo games and if there's one Neo Geo game that has held its age perfectly well that's worth digging up for just eight bucks its Metal Slug Metal Slug is one of the original old-school arcade running guns offering one or two player co-op that is fast simple tons of fun with beautiful animations and unlike some of the later games which are also on the switch it doesn't suffer from any of the major slowdown issues in some levels now one thing about this version is the fact that it is just an emulation of the old-school arcade game so it does end up being a little on the easy side thanks to the fact that you have infinite fake virtual money but if you're the kind of person that likes to get high scores or just have simple fun and call up of friends this will fit the bill perfectly next let's slow down the pace a little bit with a very different kind of running gun shooter mighty gun volt burst now this is the newest game that they cross over between inti creations asher striker gunvolt series and mighty number 9 now if you haven't heard of them before inky creates is actually the team responsible for some of the later Mega Man games before Capcom basically gave up on the franchise like Mega Man Zero and Mega Man ZX and while the mighty number 9 part might scare you a little bit after how that game went don't let it because this crossover game is really a true successor the Mega Man franchise needed all the old-school Mega Man tropes that you love are still here but with the addition of extra unique twists and changes that make the gameplay more difficult and really interesting to people that have played all the older games it's a little shorter than old school games but thanks to the fact there are two different playable characters you can get through the game as it's totally worth picking up for just 10 bucks then we have another game from empty creates but instead of being an original title or a sequel to anything they've worked on before this is actually a remake of an old-school NES game Master Blaster zero as the head of this I realized that I apparently died back from the brain the game is called blaster master zero not master blaster master blaster run spot time now if you've never played it before Master Blaster zero with this sort of metroidlike game featuring the use of a vehicle to travel around the world but also entering small areas in a top-down shooter platformer this game includes all those gameplay details but has fix things up a little bit as well as adding a changed up plot one of the most impressive things about this game to me though is how much support it's gotten since launch type of like these are very easy to forget about once they've hit the eShop but this game has been getting continual DLC including more difficult modes and features multiple playable characters from other franchises like shantae or even shovel knight at just 10 bucks for the base game and $2.00 more for every DLC character you want try out this game's definitely worth giving a shot next if it's a game I never thought I would have actually seen on the switch and that's implosion the reason being is that implosion was originally an ios and android specific game and actually covered it a couple years ago when i was still doing top 5 mobile games lists and I loved it back then and I loved it now the porc job for bringing this to the switch was done excellently all the controls have been redone for the switch and they are perfect the combat is fast-paced and flashy the only complaint I really have is the visuals leave a little something to be desired but that's really no surprise considering this was a game on phone two years ago the story is nothing to write home about but the gameplay is paced perfectly and if you just want some simple fun action blowing stuff up as a robot just just go grab it then we have a game that honestly I would argue is probably the best towards dollar on this list but at the same time I actually want to warn you not to buy it and that's shovelknight spectre of torment now this is worth every penny but the reason why I warn against getting it is because for 15 bucks more you can get shovelknight treasure trove which allows you to play a shovel Knight plague Knight Spectre Knight and the upcoming DLC for k9 basically a lot more gameplay for way less money total and honestly even if you've already played shovel and on other platforms it's totally worth picking up again for the switch to get easy multiplayer co-op gameplay on the go or at home it's just honestly the definitive version of the game as far as I'm concerned so those are my favorite games on the switch that go for less than 20 bucks if there's anything you love that I did not talk about put it down below in the comments and I will see you guys later
