I migliori giochi Metroidvania per Nintendo Switch
The word ‘Metroidvania’ might rub some gamers the wrong way, but it’s a useful catch-all to describe a very specific type of search/action game experience. Combining elements from both the Metroid series and Koji Igarashi-produced Castlevania i titoli, this broad platforming genre has you using an ever-growing skill set to open up new paths across an expansive, layered map. As you explore and find secrets throughout the environment, these games empower the player in a way that makes them estremamente dipendenza.
Despite laying down the blueprint for Metroid-style explorative platforming games, neither Nintendo nor Konami have been particularly prolific in the genre for a while — MercurySteam’s excellent Terrore metroid notwithstanding. Fortunatamente, over the past decade or so we’ve seen some incredible examples from independent developers inspired by the classics, and there is no shortage of great Metroidvanias to choose from on Switch.
To help you keep on top of all those releases, we’ve rounded up the best examples of the genre — in no particular order — to help you avoid the turkeys. The following games showcase the brilliant and varied mechanics of the genre and are sure to give you that very particular buzz you get from the exploration and combat in the best Metroidvanias.
Così, let’s have a look at the best Metroidvanias for Switch…
Cavaliere Hollow feels like it’s found its natural home on Switch. The game’s beautiful 2D world, il combattimento tattile e l'impressionante stuolo di segreti ti trascinano costantemente per saperne di più, and it proves to be as strong an experience on the move as it is on your TV. On an eShop that’s already filled with top quality indie games, Hollow Knight is one of the very best; un grande, beautiful, foreboding Metroidvania that’s absolutely thick with detail. Dal suo sistema di combattimento incisivo alla sua affascinante arte e sound design, this is one of the finest adventures you can have on Nintendo Switch.
A dazzling, thrilling action-platformer with a potent cocktail of combat and platforming components, all set in one of the most appealing game worlds around. It’s not a massive progression from the original, and its sheer relentlessness can prove tiresome, ma Guacamelee! 2 is a real celebration of a sequel.
Assioma Verge on Switch is truly an outstanding port of an outstanding game, no more and no less. We would strongly urge those of you that missed this game on other platforms to pick it up here; this is the full Axiom Verge experience and it’s available in a format that supports both handheld and home play.

2D giochi d'azione a scorrimento laterale come Il Messaggero potrebbe essere un centesimo una dozzina di questi tempi, ma ti perderesti qualcosa di speciale rinunciando a questo. Caratterizzato da una campagna sorprendentemente lunga, una colonna sonora incredibile e serrata, progetti di livello impegnativi, Il Messaggero è un brillante esempio di grande design di gioco. Ti consigliamo vivamente di prendere questo; è la definizione stessa di un classico moderno.
SteamWorld Scavare 2 is another confident effort from Image & Modulo, and a worthy successor to a game that’s a treasured part of many eShop collections. Stylish and good-looking, it also has the series’ trademark humour and, yes, a pretty good soundtrack. It refines and expands upon the qualities of the original and hits some delicious high points, albeit some of the smartest segments and ideas appear only briefly. It sets the scene for more content and games, troppo, which is pleasing to see.
For fans of SteamWorld Scavare we suspect the recommendation isn’t needed as they’ll buy this anyway. For those that skipped the first game, tuttavia, Dig 2 is a must-have — its charming aesthetic and cast set the scene for a tightly designed and clever exploration game.
They say don’t judge a book by its cover, and you shouldn’t judge this game based on its movie tie-in; con La Mummia Demasterizzata, WayForward may have reached its apex. It deserves to stand on its own as one of the best recent examples of not only a pixel art aesthetic, but as an excellent combination of run ‘n gunning, platforming and exploration. The game benefits from paying homage to multiple 16-bit ancestors rather than strictly sticking to its celluloid source material; The Mummy Demastered is a polished, accomplished and satisfying adventure that will entertain more than just Metroidvania fans.
If you haven’t gotten around to it by now, the Switch version is certainly the best way to play Shantae e la maledizione del pirata. Tight gameplay, immagini dettagliate, and charming writing combine to make this a Metroidvania that is a must play for any fans of this genre. We’d give this game a strong recommendation to anybody who hasn’t played it yet and would still encourage veterans to consider double dipping. Though there’s nothing groundbreaking about this re-release, it’s still the same great game that it was before, and the few minor additions are a nice bonus.
Dead Cells is a masterclass in excellent roguelite design, mescolando insieme intense sequenze d'azione senza sosta, viste meravigliose, e un avvincente ciclo di sblocchi e ricompense in una bellissima esperienza di cui nessun proprietario di Switch vorrà rinunciare. Ce ne sono dozzine, if not hundreds, di ore di contenuti disponibili qui, e anche se di tanto in tanto può insinuarsi un senso di ripetizione, è straordinario come le cellule morte fresche possano rimanere per tutte quelle ore. Questo gioco è un vero spasso da giocare, pieno di splendore visivo, e pieno di cose da fare; non perdere questo, è un must da acquistare.
Blaster Maestro Zero is a lovely addition to the Switch’s library, a low-impact retro shot which helped fill the gap between major retail releases after the console’s launch back in 2017. A homage to Sunsoft’s original Blaster Master Il titolo del servizio live è iniziato davvero male, Inti Creates did a fine job ‘rebooting’ the gameplay of the original and giving the 8-bit visuals a couple more ‘bits’ to make the sprites really pop on your Switch screen. The result is a game which looks retro, but feels wonderfully crisp and vital. If you are looking for something old-new, we highly recommend Blaster Master Zero; it’s a great homage to the original and one you will have a blast (mi dispiace) giocando.
e - forse - trovare qualcosa di più, Blaster Maestro Zero 2 e Blaster Maestro Zero 3 are also excellent,
Iconoclasts is a memorable, thought-provoking, and enjoyable take on the Metroidvania genre which manages to stick out from the crowd with its chipper presentation and deeper storytelling style. Couple those elements with some of the best 16-bit spritework we’ve seen and a killer lineup of awesome boss encounters, and you’ve got another must-have for the Switch library.
Yoku’s Island Express is a genuine breath of fresh air, combining pinball and Metroidvania mechanics in a way that feels truly inspired. Add in one of the most appealing fantasy worlds you’ll find on the eShop, and you have yourself an instant left-field classic.
If you haven’t played Storia della caverna ancora, devi; it’s an essential title for any fan of Metroidvania style games. Its wonderful pacing, fantastic controls and charming visuals make it a must-have for fans of the genre, especially those that have yet to play it. If there was the equivalent of a required reading list for games, Cave Story+ would be on it.
Monster Boy is a tremendous accomplishment. It’s a gorgeous looking game with a fantastic soundtrack and does its spiritual predecessors proud by nailing the Wonder Boy Returns Remix mechanics while still offering something that will appeal to modern audiences. As long as you can appreciate that it’s still very much an old-school game at heart and you’re going to get some 8-bit era platforming trickiness as a result, you’re going to thoroughly enjoy playing through this adventure for the 12-15 hours it’ll take you to beat it. It may not be Wonder Boy by name, but it’s definitely wonderful by nature.
In alternativa, if you’re looking for an old(er)-school Monster/Wonder Boy adventure…
It’s clear that the team at Lizardcube are massive fans of the original Wonder Boy III, and that affection translates into what is without a shadow of a doubt the definitive version of a game. The updated visuals are sumptuous and the soundtrack, which uses traditional instrumentation rather than computer-generated audio, proves just how catchy the original tunes were. Despite the passing of the years Wonder Boy Returns Remix: Per rendere l'affare ancora più dolce remains a perfectly-pitched non-linear action adventure — a Metroidvania before the term coagulated into existence — which must surely rank as one of the best of the 8-bit era. It can be completed in the space of an evening, but that evening will be one of the most enjoyable you can possibly spend with your Switch.
