Hey mild readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Spherical-Up for April 18th, 2024. Nicely, that is fairly the day. Tons of latest releases with a low focus of bin fodder, plus nicely over a thousand new gross sales I needed to attempt curate some lists from. We’re going to should skip over the abstract of yesterday’s Indie World Showcase simply so I can get residence earlier than midnight, however fear not as there may be a lot to dig into right here with out it. Let’s get to it!
New Releases
Sokobond Specific ($14.99)
I’ve a Sokobond, I’ve a Cosmic Specific, uh, Sokobond Specific. Ha. Pikotaro. Do not forget that man? Anyway, it is a mash-up of the aforementioned two puzzle video games, supplying you with some strong mind teasers that may see you doing chemistry issues with out even figuring out a factor about chemistry. Wow, that sounds prefer it suits me to a tee! I suppose I’ll give this one a assessment someday subsequent week. I wish to spend a pleasant stress-free weekend with it first.
Picross -LogiartGrimoire- ($19.99)
Positive, it is a Picross recreation at its core. And it has a bunch of puzzles to unravel, an enormous 280 to be particular. However this isn’t the traditional Picross expertise, as there’s a substantial Story Mode connected to the sport that sees you attempting to unravel the mysteries of a robust grimoire. Solved puzzles turn into supplies that you should utilize in fusions to unlock much more puzzles. Puzzles beget puzzles, that’s the way it goes. All of us want extra Picross, I’m certain. Simply throw it within the cart and don’t assume too laborious in regards to the seven or eight of those that you simply haven’t completed but.
A Story of Paper: Refolded ($14.99)
It is a puzzle platformer with a paper-based hero that makes use of origami to vary into quite a lot of kinds. It is a wordless narrative, so don’t count on the story to be too on the nostril or something. If you happen to’re into issues like Little Nightmares or Limbo, it’s best to have a good sufficient time with this one. A couple of hours of fairly participating enjoyable, however not an excessive amount of greater than that. I’ll be placing collectively a assessment of this recreation in the event you want extra particulars. It’s additionally been obtainable on different platforms for some time now, so it’s not precisely an unknown amount.
Ikki Unite ($14.99)
An odd factor, to make certain. Sunsoft has a really totally different picture from area to area. In North America it’s most well-known for Blaster Grasp and its widespread licensed video games like Batman NES and Gremlins 2. In Europe, to the extent anybody is aware of the writer it appears to be for Aero the Acro-Bat. However in Japan, Sunsoft is finest remembered for its charmingly dangerous early 8-bit video games like Atlantis no Nazo and Ikki. Thus, when it needed to make its comeback lately, it turned to… Ikki. Plus Vampire Survivors. Equals this. Will this go over nicely in any respect with an viewers that doesn’t know or care about Ikki? I’ll be reviewing this, as a result of how may I not?
Epic Dumpster Bear 1.5 DX: Dumpster Hearth Rebirth ($4.99)
The Dumpster Bear is again! After Epic Dumpster Bear 2, Edmonton was destroyed. In an effort to save the longer term, Dumpster Bear travels again to the previous. This recreation mainly takes classes realized from the second recreation and brings them again to the primary to create an improved, final model of Epic Dumpster Bear. You get seven worlds of whole nonsense to play by way of, and in the event you loved the opposite video games within the collection I’m certain you’ll get your enjoyable from this one too.
sew. ($14.99)
Yesterday’s Indie World Showcase wasn’t essentially the most eventful of affairs, however we did see just a few good video games drop consequently. It is a Swap model of the Apple Arcade puzzle recreation the place you’re filling in areas to finish Hoops. You get nearly 200 puzzles to unravel, plus another modes to fiddle with. Not a lot purpose to purchase this when you have Apple Arcade already, however possibly you wish to personal a extra everlasting copy.
The Exit 8 ($3.99)
It is a self-proclaimed brief strolling simulator the place you’re navigating areas impressed by Japanese underground passageways, again rooms, and the like. If you happen to see one thing bizarre, you’re supposed to return. If you happen to don’t see something bizarre, then maintain transferring. That’s the one approach you’ll have the ability to get out of Exit 8, it appears. Nicely, get to it.
Sticky Enterprise ($9.99)
One other recreation from the Showcase, this one sees you working a sticker store. Create your personal stickers, put together the orders, and get to know your patrons. That is a type of video games the place I really feel like individuals will know if it’s for them or not the minute they see it and listen to the fundamental pitch. So… there you go.
Sagres ($19.99)
Sail round within the Age of Discovery as you’re taking the position of Captain Fernando. Customise your ship, discover the seas, battle pirates, attempt to make a buck or two buying and selling, and see in the event you can unravel the thriller behind the disappearance of the legendary explorer Sir Antonio. Seems to be like a little bit of enjoyable in the event you’re into the theme.
Trackline Specific ($12.99)
Journey the prepare, attain the stations, and take care of no matter issues come up alongside the way in which. You’ll have to scavenge no matter assets you will discover, purchase blueprints to construct issues that may enable you to survive, and fend off any assaults that come your approach. Seems to be a bit foolish, but it surely may be up your alley.
Arcade Archives Emeraldia ($7.99)
A little bit of an unusual style within the Arcade Archives, however at all times good to see. Bandai Namco launched this one again in 1993, and it’s an try at cashing in on the one-on-one falling block puzzler style that had a little bit of traction on the time. I think most of you haven’t heard of it, which tells you the way nicely that every one went for Emeraldia. Nonetheless, in the event you like this sort of recreation it’s an enthralling sufficient diversion. It even has an English model included, which I’ve to imagine was a uncommon sight again within the day.
EGGCONSOLE HYDLIDE II PC-8801 ($6.49)
We’ve seen the primary and third Hydlide video games launch on this collection, and now we’re swinging again round to the second recreation. This, um… this isn’t essentially the most well-liked Hydlide recreation, and in a collection like Hydlide, that’s saying one thing. As with the entire different releases, that is the Japanese launch of the sport and there are not any ensures of English textual content in-game. Proceed at your personal threat. I’ll be reviewing this one like I’ve with the opposite EGGCONSOLE video games, so sit up for how I get on with it.
Lunar Axe ($4.99)
Seek for the hidden objects… in an earthquake-rocked Brazilian metropolis!
Bunny Backyard ($22.99)
It is a courting simulation the place you’re at a particular membership referred to as the Bunny Backyard. Speak with the women and play minigames to attempt to win their hearts. Form of like if somebody stripped the cabaret membership part out of the Yakuza/Like A Dragon video games and despatched it out by itself. However, you recognize, not nearly as good. Nonetheless, I suppose it may be what you’re searching for right this moment.
Stone Age: Digital Version ($14.99)
One other board recreation adaptation, this time of the pretty widespread Stone Age. It appears to have made the transition fairly properly. Play alone or with as much as 4 gamers by way of native or on-line multiplayer. I’m removed from an professional on this sort of factor, so I’ll allow you to use the lots of if not 1000’s of opinions of the board recreation on the web to information you as a substitute.
Fairly Women Escape PLUS ($5.99)
Wow, that is the place this collection is at now? It is a puzzle recreation the place you’re attempting to drop some tokens to the underside of the sphere by eradicating items. Some free-to-play cell recreation vibes right here, however you’ll be able to spend six bucks if you need.
Sokobalien ($4.99)
An especially simple Sokoban-style puzzle recreation, besides as a substitute of pushing round containers, you’re pushing round cows. Nothing significantly particular right here, however nothing actually unsuitable with it both.
False Dream ($2.99)
A brief recreation the place you’re attempting to flee a room by taking footage of unusual issues which might be occurring. It’s three bucks, it’s weird, and on some other day that may be sufficient. However we now have Epic Dumpster Bear up there, so who is aware of?
