Ninja Kamui: Shinobi Origins ($24.99)
I’m not aware of the anime sequence this recreation relies on, however this G.rev-developed side-scrolling motion recreation seems to be fairly promising. The developer is greatest identified for its taking pictures video games, however this isn’t its first foray into this style so I’m certain it is going to prove superb. Take management of Tsukumo and battle your approach by way of scores of enemy ninjas and different assorted fools. Timing is every thing and velocity is of the essence, so transfer quick, slice sharp, and blast exactly as you make your approach by way of every space. I haven’t had an opportunity to play this but, however I’ve had my eye on it. I’ll let you recognize if it seems to be one thing particular.
Seed of Life ($39.99)
This recreation got here out just a few years in the past on PC and is now making its approach to consoles. It wasn’t terribly well-received, however maybe these variations may have some enhancements? Anyway, you’re the final identified survivor of a dying planet on a mission to seek out and activate an merchandise referred to as the Seed of Life, which is able to apparently convey again your solar. It’s a mixture of puzzle and platforming, however I need to warning that whereas the sport description boasts about AAA-quality visuals that is certainly the work of a really small workforce and has all of the tough edges you’d count on from such an affair. Certainly, having performed the PC model I’ve some issues concerning the efficiency of this Change port that I’ll solely be capable to alleviate by enjoying it.
Umbraclaw ($24.99)
I hate to say it, however I’m beginning to really feel like Inti Creates has misplaced its groove a bit not too long ago. Umbraclaw has a cool premise and a few fascinating methods, casting you as a quite weak little recently-deceased kitty who will get extra highly effective the extra it dies. Sadly, it additionally loses extra of itself because it grows in energy, and if you happen to proceed that approach by way of the sport you possibly can’t get the comfortable ending. The sport feels prefer it’s caught between being an everyday one-off recreation and a roguelite, and it’s not a nice pull. Effectively, I’ll be reviewing this one quickly and I’ll broaden extra on my ideas then.
Goliath Depot ($6.99)
Flynns Arcade has one other enjoyable little arcade-style motion recreation for us this week. Goliath Depot duties you with a easy job in every of its phases. All it’s a must to do is shut the entire doorways. That’s straightforward, proper? Naturally, there are all types of issues making an attempt to cease you from doing that, however you have got some restricted methods of combating again. Play alone or with a good friend in native multiplayer, and see what sort of rating you possibly can muster for the net leaderboards. I’ll be reviewing this one quickly, however if you happen to’ve loved issues like Donut Dodo and Galacticon, it’s best to give this a strive.

This launched just a few years again on different platforms, nevertheless it has lastly made its approach to the Nintendo Change. A part of a long-running and widespread sequence of Chinese language RPGs, this recreation sees you enjoying as a swordsman in the long run of the Western Han period who battles to revive prosperity to China and defend his household. The fight is real-time and it’s… you recognize, not as deep or fascinating as one would possibly like. The remainder of the sport fares higher, and working roughly fifteen to twenty hours in size, its tempo is pleasingly brisk. If you are interested within the setting, you’ll most likely be capable to tolerate its tough edges to get to the good things.
Picross S Namco Legendary Version ($10.99)
Bear in mind when Jupiter did that SEGA-flavored Picross recreation? It is a Namco-flavored Picross recreation. It options puzzles based mostly on all types of traditional Namco video games and characters, and if you happen to love Picross or Namco it’s a simple recreation to advocate.
Spellbearers ($14.99)
Large wizard cash! Large wizard prizes! I like it! This recreation is impressed by Smash TV, and that’s extraordinarily obvious as quickly as you begin enjoying. You journey from room to room, battling waves of enemies utilizing your magic powers. You may play alone or pull in a good friend for 2 participant native co-op. Certain, twin-stick shooters are a dime a dozen as of late, nevertheless it’s good to see one which pays homage to an actual traditional of the style. Fifteen bucks good, I’m undecided. However that’s your name to make.
Grasp Key ($12.50)
Really feel like exploring a decent-sized open world, amassing objects and battling enemies as you go? Do you want that entire “1-bit” aesthetic? Then you definately could be serious about Grasp Key. It’s a kind of Zelda-inspired video games, paying some apparent homage to Hyperlink’s top-down adventures. And hey, it’s fairly good.

A cute little puzzle recreation the place you play as a canine named Roberto who’s looking for the right stick. In every of the seventy phases, it’s a must to work out easy methods to attain the objective, selecting up your stick alongside the best way. This won’t seem to be a very grand problem, however a few of the sticks Roberto picks up are… considerably bigger than you’d count on. I’m certain you’ll determine it out, although.
Arcade Archives Cue Brick ($7.99)
An oddity from Konami’s intensive library of arcade video games joins the Arcade Archives line-up this week, and if you happen to like sliding tile puzzles you’re going to have a good time with this. If you happen to don’t, perhaps the varied Konami references will aid you slide into it? Ha! Slide into it. I didn’t even try this on objective. At any price, it’s good to take a break from the same old fare from time to time, and this actually accomplishes that.
vridniX ($9.99)
Effectively, that is an odd fellow. He can’t cease working, he hangs off of ceilings along with his tongue, and he can rotate ranges. Use these issues to overcome 100 phases unfold throughout six completely different worlds. I like this recreation’s irreverent fashion, even when the gameplay isn’t something we haven’t seen earlier than.
