Octopath Traveler (July 13)
Best Switch Games for July 2018
Arguably the most anticipated Switch-exclusive release for this month, Octopath Traveler is a pretty pixel art JRPG developed by Square Enix. At the start of the game, you’ll get to choose to play as one of eight characters, and you’ll eventually be able to recruit the other seven to your party. Every character has their own backstory and motivations, so players can pick the one they resonate with the most and use them as their main protagonist.
Battles in Octopath Traveler are turn-based as well, though you can boost your attacks over time, similar to what we saw in Bravely Default and Bravely Second. The soundtrack is wonderful, the art style and graphical presentation are beautiful, and JRPG fans should definitely pick this one up when it releases.
