there are a lot of awesome games on the switch but sometimes you don't want to spend a bunch of money to play a game so thankfully there are a lot of awesome games in the switch library that are super cheap and I want to go over 10 of my favorite that are under 10 bucks to start things off is blaster master 0 - this is equal to blaster master 0 which was a reimagining of an NES title that is a very retro style side-scrolling shooter but with a little bit of an interesting kick and that you're not playing is necessarily a traditional character but instead a vehicle though there are top-down segments of the characters as well overall the gameplay is great combat is fun explosion feels rewarding and the game has a pretty decent story to boot it offers an awesome 16-bit era inspired graphical style and one of things I loved about the original blaster master 0 is that there was a lot of DLC supporting side characters from other video games that made awesome cameos we don't have that just yet 4:02 but i wouldn't be surprised to see that pop up over time and plus if you haven't played the original that's also super cheap play both they're great this next game is one of my absolute favorite mobile games that has ever been made and it has a great home on the switch as well and that is rain's Game of Thrones edition now yes season 8 of Game of Thrones may not have gone exactly how I would have liked but that doesn't kill the hype for how fun this game is it's a very simple straightforward plan where you're making different decisions by swiping left or right you can play as an over a different characters from the franchise depending on which character you're playing as different choices present themselves some circumstances play out a little differently and the whole point is to get as far as you can making the right decision possible to keep everything nice and balanced before something goes wrong and you have a revolt that ends in your death make no mistake you are definitely going to die a lot playing this game but as you keep going through different playthroughs successive over and over again new different things will start to emerge new mechanics open up and more characters are unlocked to play as giving it a lot of replay value third up is one of the oldest games on this list and in fact was one of the first really cheap sleeper hits you could grab on the switch and that's Kimiko basically the whole goal of chemical is imagine playing a top down almost Delta style game but on a very short time limit or eve to rush through levels as quickly as you can it offers three different playable characters all of which handle very differently and offer really fun experiences that while you're doing the same levels feels like a different kind of challenge the art style makes you say very pixelated also very colorful look that I think gives it quite a bit of charm and has an excellent soundtrack that accompanies the frantic fast gameplay with how fast-paced the game can be it's a great choice if you want to play something in short bursts but still have that sense of accomplishment that you actually beat a whole level of something and with the three different characters playing so differently it's well worth three full playthroughs now I'm gonna be honest with you guys not every single game on this list is actually under $10 there's a single game we are about to talk about that is over $10 by a whopping hole single dollar at 11 and that is west of loathing west of loathing is one of the most insanely funny weird games I have ever played it is a western style emphasis on style RPG that is entirely made out of very basic stick figure like drawings and is a very strange very enjoyable experience there is not a single aspect of this game that takes itself seriously whether that's the class system in it where you can play such things as the cowpuncher or the snake oil salesman who literally hits enemies with snakes or just the every single line of dialogue that is all over the place it's a little difficult to explain what exactly makes this game so entrancing but honestly just trust me it's 11 bucks give it a shot you won't regret it that next step is a game that's a bit of a weird sale when just look at it visually you might be wondering well how much fun can that really be but honestly it's a ton flat hero's really really simple game very cheap to pick up basically you just control these little squares you can do it by yourself or in co-op with friends and the main goal is to stay alive inside this very small area you can clean the walls jump around - through the air there's a lot you have to do in terms of learning all the different kind of projectiles you need to dodge and just memorize the right patterns to survive this is a really simple game to play and super affordable I think it's a great pick up if you just want a game that's gonna be an occasional time killer you're not looking for anything that's going to be a huge investment it also makes a great fit for anything you want to do very simple co-op with family members where you don't want anything that's gonna be too difficult again visually you might think it's a little too simple but trust me it grows on you very quickly another game that originally was at home on mobile but has found its way to the switch and makes a great fit is flood of light this is a simple puzzle game which you explore a seemingly desolate possibly post-apocalyptic world manipulating light posts in order to bring down the water level and explore more more the stages it is a beautiful looking game awesome very just light soundtrack to the background and the puzzles can get much more difficult as you get farther along if you're looking for the absolute cheapest games on the switch if that can be entertaining this is one of the best the absolute cheapest game on this list because it's completely free is Delta rune chapter one now yes to be fair this is technically a demo for a game that is coming out who knows how many years from now but it is so amazing that honestly you should just try it now for those you who don't know del sur une is a sequel / prequel / who actually knows what it is but it's kind of related to undertale featuring a lot of the same characters but it remixes the mechanics to making it a party based RPG instead and it works out beautifully like with undertale it has a very unique aesthetic along with an amazing soundtrack and a storyline that constantly walks the line of having some really good heartfelt moments and absolute utterly insane silly things that are hilarious if you're a fan of undertale and you haven't played this yet what are you doing go do it now and if you haven't played undertale honestly check it out it's free-to-play tons of fun and if you liked it really give undertale a shot because they are great games by the way if you're looking for an affordable way to customize your switch a great option our skins like the Easter today's sponsor dbrand they make a whole bunch of different skins that are totally safe to use on the joy collins the switch itself and the dock with a lot of different options when my personal favorite being the matte black which looks awesome the joy cons check out the link down below for more info another classic option graft of the switch is mighty gunvolt burst now this is a game from inti creates who's responsible for a lot of different - platformer games have been on the 3ds and the switch they made the Mega Man Zero games back in the day they also ain't blaster master zero which we've already talked about but mighty gun vault first is their approach to making an old-school Mega Man style game and it is awesome the game is a crossover between their own Megaman like series as your striker gunvolt and the less successful mighty number 9 and puts them together into an 8-bit style Mega Man game that is honestly the better version of what mighty number 9 should have pinned it relies on the same run and gun mechanics that are popular to the franchise but where it mixes things up it is a heavier emphasis on speed rewarding you for killing enemies quickly and getting through stages as fast as possible the game also offers a very large number of different character to play from some as part of the game initially others are deal so you need to grab but each one plays differently in its own interesting way that allows you to play the game multiple times it's a cheap pickup and a great choice for anyone that needs their Megaman fix this next game is my absolute favorite one on this list I cannot recommend this game hard enough and that is blood-stained curse of the moon now that name sounds familiar the more recently released blood-stained rush light was a huge successful Kickstarter the game finally came out it's been getting great reviews and the whole point of the game is that it's kind of recapturing the style of later Castlevania games like Symphony of the Night curse of the moon is a side game there released as kind of part of it it came out much earlier it's made by NT creates and entire bases instead to try and be like an old-school NES style Castlevania game and it does its job perfectly the game has fantastic level design great music awesome visuals and some of the best boss fights I have done in this style of game and features four different playable characters they can all switch between them all handle very differently this is also the best level entered old-school games that's out there if you love old-school Castlevania you owe it to yourself to play this and even if you don't just play it it's amazing do it genre that I think has really found its renewed energy thanks to the switch is platformers there's no shortage of different platforming games you can grab that of all kinds of different weird unique mechanics and visual styles to separate them and one that is very cheap and awesome to pick up is Hugh the basic idea behind Hugh is that as you progress through the game you will unlock different colors that you can make the entire world reflect and depending on what color you currently have the world showing different objects are interactable in different ways you can shove crates around you can land on blocks that make it safe not to land on spikes and you can change colors oft in order to even pass through objects that were previously there it's very easy to begin with but as you get further and further unlock more colors to mess with the puzzles get much more intricate and really interesting not to mention the use of very bright saturated colors makes for a beautiful looking game if you're looking for another great platformer that's not going to break the bank at 10 bucks this is a good choice
