After that, we have some interesting new releases to check out. We wrap things up the usual way by checking out the latest discounts and upcoming sales. Let’s get on with the day!
Comments and mini views
Yes! You want “those games,” right?
My first thoughts on this follow-up, which I will call “those games 2“The original game relied heavily on the sheer novelty of its ideas, and that doesn’t work as well the second time around. My second thought is that it doesn’t matter if the novel is novel as long as the mini-games are fun. You You know what? They’re funny enough. You get a few different types here, again inspired by the game’s favorite lie ads. royal match Love employment. They’re dishonestly presenting a completely different game than what you actually get when you download it, which may be a violation of advertising laws, but none of that matters anymore.
Anyway! The games you encounter here include trying to shoot enemies with ricocheting bullets, drawing a protective shield for a cat being attacked by a bat, swapping lanes among runners behind to generate the highest number possible, removing pins to drop good ones things in exchange for gifts. Each mini-game type has quite a few levels to play, and the difficulty increases as the level progresses. Your performance in each stage is rated from one to three stars, and you can accumulate them to unlock more stages. They do get quite challenging in the second half, turning what seemed like a joke into a much more interesting puzzle game. Just like the first game, really.
While I don’t think there’s really much merit in turning this into an ongoing series, those games 2 Indicates there is at least enough gasoline in the tank for one more bottle. Much like the first one those games, you’ll come for the interesting concepts and stay for the well-crafted challenges of the later stages. Support for button and touch controls is also welcome. If you want to try the Heat King without rewarding those huckster marketers, this is the one to go for.
SwitchArcade Rating: 3.5/5
EGGCONSOLE Seilane PC-8801mkIISR ($6.49)
I’ve reviewed every version in Egg control So far, so I feel like I can’t just let this go by without saying anything. That said, I wouldn’t give it a score. We’ve seen a few RPGs before that were difficult to play without understanding Japanese, but at least there was some fun that didn’t require understanding the text. sailing is different. It’s a Japanese adventure game where you need to move from one location to another, interacting with objects and people using a handy list of verbs and whatever’s in your inventory. While you can still enjoy the game’s sights and sounds without knowing Japanese (and they were pretty good for the era), you probably won’t get very far.
In case any readers Do Understand the language well enough to complete it, sailing is a nice, relatively simple adventure with some charming characters. You can tell it’s aimed at a slightly younger audience, but that’s okay. It’s not Microcabin’s best work, which I guess is a statement in itself, but if you like the genre, it’s worth a play. But again, it all depends on you being able to read Japanese at a reasonably good level. If you can’t, I really don’t recommend picking this up.
SwitchArcade Score: N/A
Select new version
Enlisted ($21.99)
Known as a survival horror game based on the Battle of Verdun in World War I, conscript In the game, you play as a French soldier, wandering around the worst places in search of your missing brother. It’s not shy about showing the ugly nature of war, so don’t expect too much sugarcoating of the concept. Indeed, whether the game was a success or a failure in other respects, it did demonstrate just how brutal the struggle at Verdun could be. Due to the theme, this won’t be for everyone, but for what it’s meant to do, it manages things competently.
A Star Called EOS ($14.99)
It’s an adventure game with an interesting premise where you use photography to solve puzzles. Not just any photography, however. You’ll capture precious moments from the past, and in doing so you may discover the many secrets hidden within them. This one looks good, but I haven’t had a chance to play it yet, so I can’t say much.
Ninja Slayer: The New Saitama Flame ($19.99)
A stylish side-scrolling action game based on the popular novel and comic series, ninja killer Lets you see what it would be like to be a ninja killer. It turned out to be the result of many ninja killings. Who would have thought? Slicing, dice, sprinting and darts, and the fact that all ninja games are there to help distract us, it’s been over a decade since we last played Tolerate game. Sorry, this has nothing to do with this. I think fans of the brand will enjoy it as it really goes all out in trying to recreate the look of the comics, especially with Ninja Slayer coming across as powerful as he should be.
Werewolf: Apocalypse – Inferno ($14.99)
Another game book based adventure Werewolf: Apocalypse property. Of course, let them do it. It is naturally set in dark world In-universe, you play as a refugee werewolf named Samira. This cosmic version of Crisis on the Polish Border sets the stage for a tale of murder, mystery, and all the monsters you can find. but maybe real The monster is… human? This story is from heart of forest, but you don’t need to have played it to jump here. If you had, you’d only get a slightly richer experience.
Phobia($14.99)
One of those chunky pixel faux-retro first-person shooters you’ll find everywhere. You’re on a spaceship filled with bad aliens. Or maybe you’re the bad alien, I don’t know. But you have to kill them all with your thick pixel gun. As you progress, you’ll gain new abilities that not only enhance your abilities but also allow you to access previously unreachable areas. Wait…this is a Doom-like robot? Anyway, it looks pretty good. Nothing that requires running up and down the street shouting, but it’s enough.
sales volume
(North American e-store, US prices)
A small selection of new sales to focus on today, war pattern games and East Probably the best of them all. Don’t worry too much about the inbox as Team 17 sells out fairly frequently, but you might want to grab one Uku Island Express Two bucks, just in case this excellent deal doesn’t come around again. This is an absolutely insane game to get for such a low price.
