From the first two BaldursGate games to DiscoElysium, these are seven solid alternatives to BaldursGate3 that are available on Nintendo Switch.
Baldur’s Gate 3 has taken the video game industry by storm over the last week, even though it’s only available on PC. While it will launch for PlayStation 5 on September 6 and is likely to get an Xbox launch eventually, there’s one platform that it doesn’t look like Baldur’s Gate 3 will come to: the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo’s hybrid system is a great home to many more traditional RPGs, but even compared to Xbox, the choices for solid CRPGs like Baldur’s Gate 3 are slim on Nintendo Switch.
Its sequel, Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows of Amn is considered to be even better by some as it builds upon the very solid foundation that its predecessor established. While somewhat dated compared to some slicker modern RPGs, both of these games still hold up and are worth playing if you want to see the birthplace of many foundational RPG ideas.
Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition Pillars of Eternity is a solid RPG that’s available on Game Pass, but you can get it on Nintendo Switch too. This CRPG from Obsidian Entertainment serves as a midpoint of sorts between the original two Baldur’s Gate games and Baldur’s Gate 3, as Pillars of Eternity’s successful Kickstarter campaign and critical acclaim at release helped repopularize the genre.
Disco Elysium doesn’t feature any combat, but it doesn’t need to. This is one of the most engaging and well-written games in recent memory and it finds ways to craft just tons of tension and stress through pure dialogue and skill checks. It’s already inspiring other indies too, so it’s a must-play for RPG fans. Disco Elysium – The Final Cut — which includes full voicework for all characters, new quests, and more — is available now on Switch for $40.
