Howdy mild readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Spherical-Up for April tenth, 2024. It’s that gradual day of the week the place not a lot is happening, and we’re not bucking the pattern this time. I’ve obtained a Mini-View for you of somewhat puzzler referred to as StoryBlocks: The King, summaries of some new releases, and the standard lists of recent and expiring gross sales. Don’t fear, tomorrow will greater than make up for this quiet day of releases. I’m already dreading it. Let’s get pleasure from immediately!
Opinions & Mini-Views
StoryBlocks: The King ($4.99)
You understand, I’m by no means significantly bothered when poorly thought-out controls drag down a Change port of a middling recreation. No, it’s after they wreak havoc on a recreation that I’d in any other case most likely get pleasure from a good bit that I get peeved. That’s sadly what has occurred with StoryBlocks: The King. This must be a relaxed recreation of inserting items and benefit from the branching story, even when it’s not the best of tales. However attempting to place the items and get them to connect is extremely irritating as a result of skittish stick controls and required precision. It’s disagreeable to play.
StoryBlocks: The King would most likely be a good time on a platform the place you should use the mouse controls it was clearly designed for. Over right here on Change, extra care wanted to be taken to make the sport comfy to play on a controller. Nothing the sport does is very definitely worth the agitation of merely attempting to carry out the essential features of the gameplay. Disgrace, because it looks as if it could in any other case be an pleasurable, chill puzzler.
SwitchArcade Rating: 3/5
New Releases
SokoFrog ($4.99)
Nicely, that’s the form of day Wednesdays are. It’s a Sokoban-style crate-pusher with somewhat frog doing the work. You get a decent 150 levels to play, and for what it’s value it does throw in some gimmicks each on occasion to attempt to preserve you in your toes. I feel when you like Sokoban video games, you’ll get pleasure from this. And when you don’t, this isn’t going to alter your thoughts.
Bakery Simulator ($16.99)
This one comes from the identical writer as Electrician Simulator, and you’ll kind of anticipate that very same consideration to element right here. You understand, besides utilized to baked items. You must also anticipate comparable points with the port, like an ungainly interface and a few hard-to-read textual content. This doesn’t appear to have gone over significantly properly on every other platform, and it’s actually not shining its brightest right here.

Gross sales
(North American eShop, US Costs)
Hmm. Seven bucks for Chasm: The Rift is beginning to really feel like a very good jump-in value for individuals who like boomer shooters and may forgive and even love a little bit of jank. That’s my primary advice for immediately from the inbox, however there’s loads to get pleasure from within the outbox as properly, together with the not too long ago up to date Double Dragon Gaiden. Take a look by and see if there’s something you need to decide up, particularly from the ININ sale.
