Hello, dear readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade roundup for August 23, 2024. In the world of Switch, sometimes a slow Thursday means a big Friday. Well, not this time. We’ve got some new releases in the trash for you to check out, plus the usual list of new sales and expiring discounts for your consideration. Things will be busier next week, but only a little. September can’t come soon enough. Let’s wrap up the week!
Select new version
Operation: Polygon Storm ($14.99)
A relatively basic real-time base defense game with just a slightly different angle than what we usually see in the genre. I didn’t think it was visually impressive, but the destructible environments did add a bit of interest to an otherwise simple shoot. This isn’t my type of choice, but if it’s yours then you might want to take a closer look.
Thermonuclear ($7.99)
The story takes place in the distant future, when World War III breaks out. thermonuclear Let you play a member of a giant company and fight for victory. You have access to a powerful new technology called Thermonuclear, an advanced combat robot. Guide your robot through procedurally generated stages, engaging in turn-based strategic combat against the enemies found within. You’ll upgrade your cyborg as you go, and if you’re lucky, you might be able to defeat the All-Father Artificial Intelligence and save the world. If not? Well, you can always try again. It looks pretty good from what I’ve seen so far.
Magnus Trilogy ($8.99)
A series of visual novels Magnus series, bundled in a simple package. These lean more toward the weird and psychological end of the curve. At least, you can’t argue with the price of each book here. It’s not for everyone, but some people will benefit greatly from it.
sales volume
(North American e-store, US prices)
A bunch of interesting new sales, but the list is short enough that I’ll leave it mostly to you. What I want to mention is PowerWash emulator Not only is the main game discounted, but all paid DLC packs are discounted as well. If you don’t own them yet, now is the time to stock up. In the weekend mailbox, Team 17 received a round of completed sales of games. They’ll definitely be on sale again soon, but maybe you want them now? A choice to be made.
