Like almost every month, Nintendo Switch Online allows you to test a complete game for a few days. October’s lucky one is now available, just like an N64 classic.
It’s been a routine for a few years now. Big N offers its subscribers the opportunity to discover a new production every month, or almost, for a week. The “Games on Trial” are keen to highlight titles from various backgrounds and calibers. Nintendo Switch exclusives, FIFA, independent games that caused a sensation, the initiative has something for everyone. And to celebrate the Halloween period, the Japanese publisher has found the perfect game.
The free Nintendo Switch game of the month for subscribers
The October “Trial Game” is finally available. Big N continues its initiative aimed at allowing Nintendo Switch Online subscribers to broaden their horizons by testing new productions for free. To properly celebrate Halloween, the Japanese publisher is banking on one of the best independent games of last year. Until October 31, 2023, Cult of the Lamb is playable for free for NSO members. A title with a cute artistic direction but a special concept to say the least. Here, you play as an adorable lamb condemned to slaughter. At least before he is saved by a mysterious stranger, who asks him in exchange to become leader of a cult.
The goal is then to gather an army of worshipers, build your own village to welcome your followers and slaughter non-believers to gain power. This completely crazy free Nintendo Switch Online game draws on roguelite, management and die and retry mechanics. A devilishly explosive mixture, which has won over players and the press alike. We can only advise Nintendo Switch Online subscribers to try it.
A cult N64 game available
And if satanic rituals aren’t for you, don’t panic. A new free game has been added to the Nintendo Switch Online catalog and permanently this time. After very long months of waiting, Mario Party 3 is finally available. A cult Nintendo 64 game in the eyes of an entire generation. In terms of innovations, it stood out above all thanks to the arrival of new characters, like Daisy and Waluigi, new boards which enriched the gameplay and some other new features. It is still considered one of the best episodes of the franchise today. Please note, however, that N64 games are only reserved for members of the Nintendo Switch Online + Additional Pack.
