Hello, dear readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade roundup for August 30, 2024. Some good ones, and some unique ones. Beyond that, there’s not much else but a list of new sales and expiring discounts. It’s been a busy week for me in many ways, but we should be back to normal next week. Let’s get started!
Select new version
Umamusume: Pretty Derby – Party Dash ($44.99)
I say you neigh, fresh beans! Everyone’s favorite pony girl comes to Switch in this party game that can be played with up to 4 players via local or online multiplayer. There are four different mini-games to play, and you can enjoy a full story mode with twenty-five playable characters. For fans of the series, it’s unbridled excitement, so if that’s you, it’s time to start playing with your friends. I give you free reign and you can be as victorious as you want, but be prepared if they get mad about it.
Super Dark Deception ($17.99)
take dark deceptionand then imagine what it would be like as a sprite-based 2D game. Will it look like super dark deception? Maybe not, but someone’s The idea apparently did, because here we are. Try to escape the maze with your life intact, use everything at your disposal to avoid being killed by the creatures that roam the night. At launch, the game only included the first chapter, which consisted of four levels. More free DLC will be added over time, but be sure to consider the relatively small amount of content and the undeniable uncertainty of the future before purchasing.
Forests, fields and fortresses ($4.99)
This is a tile placement puzzle game where you build a kingdom one piece at a time. There are two game modes here. One is a puzzle mode where you have a certain number and type of pieces and need to place them in such a way that you get enough coins to pass. The other mode is called Adventure Mode, where you unlock and use various starting maps and randomly assorted building parts. If you’re looking for some affordable puzzle fun today, this isn’t bad.
Date Z ($14.99)
A choice-based visual novel dating sim where you have until Friday to find a date or die. Well, there’s no pressure there. There are five potential partners to pursue, and of course a bunch of different endings to uncover. I was ready to write it off as just another game in a long line like this, but then I saw the screenshot above. How can I not include games with such screenshots on the store page?
Bed Rot ($14.99)
Well, this is a horror game premise that I’ve never seen before. You play as a young girl who gets into a car accident. Although your body is fine, your mental state is not. Basically, you can’t seem to get out of bed. You need to survive for twenty days, which means eating, using a bucket as a toilet, and doing whatever it takes to stay awake. That last bit becomes a very big problem as strange visions start to appear. Are they real? Your imagination? Does it matter? I would say this is a game for horror game lovers.

That, my friends, is all for today, this week, and this month. As mentioned in the opening paragraph, aside from my work on the website, it’s been an incredibly busy week for me. I’m sorry if that turned out to make things seem a little light-hearted. Next week we’ll be back to our normal schedule, which means lots of reviews, new launches, sales, and some news. Hope you all have a great weekend, and as always, thank you for reading!
