Reviews Featuring ‘Silent Hope’, Plus a New Release Catch-Up and the Latest Sales – TouchArcade

Good day mild readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Spherical-Up for October sixteenth, 2023. Initially, I apologize for my absence on Thursday and Friday of final week. I out of the blue turned fairly in poor health in an unsavory manner, and I simply bodily didn’t have the vitality to do something apart from sleep and attend to the signs. Mikhail was fortunately in a position to fill in for me on Thursday, however we needed to skip Friday’s version solely. What which means is that now we have a ton of latest video games to atone for, and we’re going to do exactly that. Earlier than we go into the summaries, nonetheless, I’ve a couple of critiques so that you can take a look at. Silent Hope, CounterAttack: Rebellion, and Knight vs Big: The Damaged Excalibur, to be actual. Lastly, we’ve obtained some lists of gross sales. Let’s get again to it!

Critiques & Mini-Views

Silent Hope ($39.99)

On paper, I’m not absolutely certain why I preferred Silent Hope as a lot as I did. It’s not doing something new of notice. You’re simply utilizing your chosen hero to undergo procedurally-generated flooring of a dungeon, defeating enemies, leveling up, getting new talents, and gathering loot and sources as you go. A primary little hack-and-slash action-RPG whose most important level of satisfaction is in its choice of a number of distinct characters to grasp. And but, it really works. It really works in the identical manner video games like Diablo do. The essential loop of going into the dungeon, doing no matter you may, coming again to camp, upgrading no matter you may, after which heading again in for one more spherical is as pleasing right here as ever.

I believe what helped this tried and true set-up shine a bit higher right here was in its presentation. I like the best way this recreation appears to be like and sounds, and the setting is compelling even when the plot doesn’t absolutely ship on it. The mechanics really feel like they’ve actually been thought by fastidiously too. Every character genuinely feels distinct from the others, and the sport is cool about letting you mess around with them as you want whilst you discover your favorites. As you construct up every character and unlock superior lessons and talents, the extent of customization comes off as spectacular not solely in scope however in how well-balanced it’s. You may take every character in a good variety of viable instructions, and that makes you need to do exactly that. That in flip retains you coming again to be able to collect up extra sources and stomp extra enemies within the dungeon.

Silent Hope isn’t going to gentle your world on fireplace or something, however if you happen to take pleasure in a great dungeon crawl action-RPG, it’s assuredly value trying into. Its lack of any speedy fancy prospers would possibly make it appear forgettable at first, however give it time to unfold a bit and I believe you’ll respect the finer particulars of its design. It’s the form of recreation that’s all too straightforward to slide out and in of, and I prefer to maintain at the very least a couple of video games like that dwelling on my Swap always.

SwitchArcade Rating: 4/5

CounterAttack: Rebellion ($14.99)

You already know, I wasn’t certain if I used to be going to take pleasure in this recreation or not. I like shoot-em-ups, however I’m form of over the entire roguelite spin on them. It was enjoyable for some time, however today once I play one it simply feels prefer it’s doing an incredible job of losing my time by forcing a grind to make the gameplay even a bit enjoyable. CounterAttack at first looks as if it’s going for the roguelite concept, however in the long run I felt it was extra like a daily shooter with a ton of cool unlockables. It by no means got here throughout like I had no probability to win with out unlocking some key skill by replaying the sport time and again.

That stated, I ought to point out to anybody who cares concerning the distinction that this recreation in all probability falls extra into the “Euroshmup” bucket than the rest. Once I was enjoying it I couldn’t assist however be reminded of Undertaking-X, Team17’s traditional Amiga shoot-em-up. The facility-ups felt comparable, the best way the enemy waves got here in was acquainted, and the final vibe simply echoed that recreation to me. I believe, broadly talking, that’s not a foul factor. Simply bear in mind that’s what you’re moving into and also you’ll be wonderful.

What actually bought this recreation for me is the sheer quantity of stuff that has been packed into it. You’ve obtained tons of characters and ships to select from, a large assortment of unlockable modifications you may earn and equip, numerous phases to play, a number of problem ranges and modes, native and on-line multiplayer, and loads of bosses to battle. Certain, it sacrifices lots of deal with these particular person components to attain that, however it works. I want the phases didn’t really feel fairly so samey each when it comes to visuals and general circulate, however absolutely loading out your ship and ripping by the massive waves of enemies like a sizzling knife by butter is its personal leisure.

CounterAttack: Rebellion doesn’t provide the standard shoot-em-up enchantment, nor does it lean into the roguelite finish of the style very a lot. It’s doing its personal factor, and it’s doing it fairly properly. The core taking pictures motion is enjoyable and it by no means feels such as you’re being intentionally hobbled to pressure a grind, however the completely huge record of ship modifications you may unlock nonetheless handle to really feel significant sufficient to function correct rewards. There’s lots to chew on right here, and I believe it has lots to supply style newcomers and veterans alike because of this.

SwitchArcade Rating: 4/5

Knight vs Big: The Damaged Excalibur ($19.99)

Once I first began enjoying Knight vs Big, I used to be having a reasonably good time. The premise, which affords a barely comedic spin on King Arthur’s legends, is stable. The controls are responsive. And the best way your talents work by channeling the facility of the Knights of the Spherical Desk is a good concept. Sure, I used to be having a great little bit of enjoyable within the early going. Sadly, that is a kind of instances the place the sport places its greatest foot ahead. There simply isn’t a lot to this recreation, and what little it has is parceled out slowly and in small portions.

That results in a extra arduous grind than the standard for this style, and that’s saying one thing once we’re speaking a couple of style as sometimes grind-heavy because the roguelite hack-and-slash. A grind isn’t all the time a foul factor, and it could possibly really be fairly pleasing if the sport is about up proper. However between repetitive environments, an inadequate number of enemy behaviors, and the gradual growth of your character’s capabilities, Knight vs Big slips into boredom far too typically.

Knight vs Big: The Damaged Excalibur has some issues going for it, and it could possibly definitely be entertaining at instances. The issue is that it has too little seasoning to sprinkle over too little meat, leaving massive parts of it flavorless. When the sphere is as crowded on Swap as it’s for these top-down roguelite motion video games, it’s arduous to vigorously advocate one thing that leaves you combating off the yawns for a lot of its runtime.

SwitchArcade Rating: 3/5

New Releases

Kingdom Eighties ($11.99)

Stranger Issues certain has lots to reply for today. Right here’s the most recent recreation within the Kingdom sequence, and it has a totally new theme to go along with the acquainted gameplay. See, it’s the Eighties. As a substitute of a caravan of wagons and horses and what-not, it’s a bunch of youngsters on bicycles. You aren’t touring by spooky forests and the like, however slightly passing by Not-Toys-R-Us and different consolation food-like locales. The gameplay mechanics retain the identical distinctive appeal discovered within the different Kingdom video games, and that’s not a foul factor in any respect. Our pal Mikhail shall be doing a evaluation of this one as quickly as he can handle it, so do look ahead to that.

Pillars of Mud ($6.99)

A brief and slightly easy retro throwback RPG, however one with its coronary heart in the precise place to make certain. If something it considerably jogs my memory of the early efforts from Zeboyd video games, albeit with significantly extra easy fight. There are two completely different characters to play as, every with their very own story, although you’ll should play as each of them finally. It doesn’t take itself too severely, so anticipate lots of horrible jokes and a world financial system based mostly on rooster nuggets. That can both be a plus or minus relying in your tastes, however it all goes down very simply as a complete.

Transformers: Earthspark – Expedition ($39.99)

I suppose that is the place Transformers is as a model now, eh? Anyway, I hope you want Bumblebee, as a result of he’s the one Transformer you get to make use of right here. Optimus is in to offer some recommendation, however in any other case it’s Bumblebee all day and all evening. You’ve obtained three areas to discover and battle by as you search to place an finish to your nemesis, Mandroid. You’ll unlock new strikes and talents for Bumblebee as you go, permitting the sport to verify off that all-important “RPG components” bullet level ought to it must. This is similar developer that did Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova, which was okay as this sort of factor goes. Right here’s hoping it’s two for 2.

The Grinch: Christmas Adventures ($39.99)

I imply… certain, why not? This one comes from Outright Video games, who’re in all probability the perfect of the 4 Horsemen of the Crappy Licensed Recreation Apocalypse on Swap. As much as two gamers can play by the story of the Grinch as he tries to steal Christmas with the assistance of his loyal canine good friend Max. Clear up some gentle puzzles, do some gentle mini-games, and assist the Grinch uncover what Christmas is all about. I’m certain the little ones will take pleasure in it, and that’s the principle factor.

Haunted Home ($19.99)

Atari revisits one other one in all its classics, this time Haunted Home. Fairly than go the Recharged route with this one, Atari has opted for a extra full-on reimagining developed by Orbit Studio of Retro Machina fame. Certain, it’s a roguelite, however the authentic was one thing of a roguelite itself. Discover the haunted home and collect the varied items of the urn to be able to escape. I’ll have a full evaluation of this one as quickly as I put it by its paces.

Astebros ($12.99)

A roguelite prequel to Demons of Asteborg, Astebros sees you select one in all three heroes as you battle by procedurally generated dungeons to find their secrets and techniques. Go it alone or deliver a good friend through native multiplayer. An additional pair of palms may be useful for among the nasty bosses you’ll be battling. This was initially launched as a Genesis/Mega Drive recreation, and I’ll say that it’s fairly a little bit of enjoyable. When you preferred Demons of Asteborg, you received’t go unsuitable right here.

Dementium: The Ward ($19.99)

An enhanced port of a 3DS remake of a Nintendo DS recreation, Dementium doesn’t seem so as to add an excessive amount of over stated remake other than some gentle graphical enhancements and alternate management choices. It’s at greatest an okay recreation, in my view, and one that basically obtained by again within the day on novelty. You didn’t have many first-person shooters or horror video games on the Nintendo DS, and right here this was. I’m undecided it’s punching on the identical weight on the Swap, however I do know it positively has its followers who shall be pleased to drop twenty bones on this launch.

Toonsters: Crossing Worlds ($10.64)

Leaping over to the Swap from cellular, that is an action-adventure of types the place you acquire creatures referred to as Toonsters and use them to battle others. It appears to be well-liked in its free-to-play cellular kind, and I might advocate making an attempt it out that manner earlier than dropping a ten-and-change right here. I can also’t be too certain what (if any) adjustments have been made to the sport’s stability on this transition to an up-front pay mannequin, however hopefully some have been achieved because the cellular model is fairly badly balanced.

Dwerve ($19.99)

A hybrid of tower protection and dungeon-crawling action-adventure is one thing now we have seen earlier than, however very not often. It often works out wonderful sufficient, and I consider that to be the case right here as properly. You play as a dwarf tinkerer who has to dig up historical know-how to make use of in protection in opposition to the depraved forces of Witch-Queen Vandra. Head into the dungeons to seek out cool stuff, use the cool stuff in tower protection segments. Not vital or something, however well-done sufficient that if you happen to suppose it sounds good, you’ll in all probability prefer it.

Japan Practice Fashions: JR East Version ($13.99)

This isn’t precisely a recreation within the conventional sense, however it’s neat so I’m together with it. What you get right here is sort of a little mannequin prepare set that includes some real licensed Japan Rail East trains. You may arrange the surroundings across the prepare, take photos, and even look contained in the trains. I do know some of us on the market love trains and have an curiosity in Japanese trains particularly, so right here’s one for you. We don’t all the time see licensed stuff like this launch outdoors of Japan.

EGGCONSOLE Relics PC-8801 ($6.49)

D4 Enterprise is bringing a tackle its Egg service to the Swap, and it appears to be like like we’re fortunate sufficient to be seeing these get international releases. The primary title is, as is customary for D4, Relics. Initially launched on the PC-8801 laptop line in 1986 by Bothtec, Relics sees you enjoying as a drifting spirit and possessing enemies to make use of their expertise. Do notice that whereas the wrapper is in English and a good bit of the in-game textual content makes use of English, the sport itself stays unlocalized from its authentic Japanese supply.

Arcade Archives Guttang Gottong ($7.99)

You would possibly higher acknowledge this Konami traditional below one other identify: Loco-Movement. It’s essential to slide the rail observe panels to maintain the prepare transferring safely to all the stations on every stage. Regardless of being greater than forty years previous, that is nonetheless a slightly satisfying action-puzzler to dig into. You’ve in all probability performed puzzles like this to loss of life in different video games by now, after all. When you’re not bored with them, you’ll have enjoyable right here.

Eventide 3: Legacy of Legends ($14.99)

Artifex Mundi has one other hidden object journey for individuals who take pleasure in them. Discover a legendary realm of Slavic folktales as you search to rescue your lacking brother. The standard Artifex Mundi high quality is on show right here. Not likely my cup of tea, however it may be yours.

Twin Thoughts: No one’s Right here Collector’s Version ($14.99)

Ocean Media has one other hidden object journey for individuals who take pleasure in them. Two detectives discover themselves making an attempt to unravel the seemingly not possible case of a murdered scientist. Not likely my cup of tea, however it may be yours.

Astrosmash ($14.99)

One other recreation making its manner over from the ill-fated Intellivision Amico console’s meant launch line-up. Just like the recently-released Shark Shark, it is a remake of a preferred recreation from the unique Intellivision console. Additionally like Shark Shark, it is a worse recreation than the unique. The visuals are too busy and seem like they got here from a circa-2000 Flash recreation, and little or no has been achieved to boost the gameplay other than tossing in some power-ups and some boss fights. With simply ten ranges on provide, there isn’t a complete lot of substance right here both. Actually, that is in all probability the perfect of the three “Amico ports” BBG has launched, however it’s nonetheless not one thing I’d advocate for fifteen bucks.

Alphadia I & II ($19.99)

Gosh, take a look at these pixels. This artwork was by no means meant to be seen at these resolutions, however what are you able to do? Kemco brings two of its older cellular RPGs to the Swap in a single bundle, supplying you with a slight financial savings over the standard costs it likes to cost. That’s in all probability a great factor, as a result of these video games are actually getting up there in years and never coming off higher for it. Nonetheless, it’s good to see Kemco not treating its library as disposable. Sure different publishers might take notice.

Sakura Alien ($9.99)

One other Sakura visible novel from Gamuzumi, this time seemingly impressed by Urusei Yatsura. An alien princess lands on Earth and is set to marry the very regular first man she meets. She wants a visa, kind of. However stated very regular first man she meets already has two lovely women combating over him. Make your selections and see who you find yourself with.

Trapped within the Difficult Jail ($9.99)

Oh no! You’re trapped! In a jail! And never simply any jail, however a tough one! It’s one other room escape recreation, achieved in the identical type we’ve seen from a dozen or so different releases from Regista. When you’re nonetheless hungry, they’ve obtained one other bowl for you.

Whitestone ($19.99)

This can be a fairly cool-looking action-RPG. You play as a man named Jack who’s apprenticing on-board an airship when one thing goes terribly unsuitable. It begins off with a homicide, however it quickly turns into one thing way more insidious. There are a handful of various routes to play by, every with completely different most important characters and tales. I haven’t had an opportunity to offer this a strive but, however I’m trying ahead to digging into it once I do.

Chemically Bonded ($9.99)

Two pals are combating and someway you’ve ended up within the center on this visible novel. Someway you’ll not solely want to fix issues between the 2 but in addition determine a method to smooch the good friend of your selection. Make your selections fastidiously. It’s that form of factor.

Kittengumi: The Sakabato’s Thief ($9.99)

Properly, this one is uncommon, I’ll give it that a lot. One other visible novel, however this one stars a cat samurai and a panda who thinks he’s a cat. You’re looking for the stolen treasures of the Kittengumi, the samurai cats who shield Nyedo. There are ten completely different endings, and the one you get will rely on the alternatives you make.

Clan’s Revenge ($4.99)

This in all probability needs to be within the Bin Bunch, however I’m sitting right here making an attempt to inform if that is somebody’s earnest effort or one thing whipped up by AI and I don’t need to harm anybody’s feeling if it’s the previous. Anyway, it’s a visible novel about two ninjas who prepare collectively, then one turns into a foul man, then… I imply, you’ve in all probability seen Naruto or no matter that is ripping off. There are a number of endings, do you have to really feel motivated to see a couple of.

Buddy Canine Ballcaster ($4.99)

It’s a 5 greenback 3D platformer, so don’t get too excited. You play as a canine that may throw balls, and you have to use this distinctive expertise to rescue your brother from the Goblin King (this story sounds vaguely acquainted) and his minions. Dance, magic, dance? I can’t think about discovering this a worthwhile use of a fiver, however each recreation has at the very least a couple of followers.

Brutalism22 ($9.99)

I’m undecided what to make of this one. It’s a brief horror recreation set within the Ukraine, the place you play as an odd grocery store employee who’s thrown into disaster when bombs begin dropping in your metropolis. You need to escape together with your canine, your neighbor, and your neighbor’s daughter. It sounds just like the set-up for one thing a bit too actual, however that assault in your metropolis isn’t coming from something terrestrial. Are you able to evade the weird invading monsters and get out alive?

Dino Ranch – Journey to the Rescue ($39.99)

I genuinely can’t maintain observe of all these licensed properties popping out on Swap today. That is apparently a Canadian animated sequence aimed toward pre-schoolers? Alright. It’s a mini-game assortment of types, however it’s single-player solely. Discover the ranch, collect dinosaur eggs, nurture them and hatch them, and perform common repairs. I suppose in case your toddler is into the sequence, this may be value .

Re.Surs ($7.99)

A narrative-driven 2D scrolling shooter, or so it says on the tin. There are a couple of completely different characters to make use of, every with their very own talents, and also you’ll should make the optimum use of all of them if you wish to repel a demonic invasion. Some slick artwork in locations however greater than a bit tough across the edges. Whether or not that’s a great factor or a foul factor is an train greatest left to the reader.

Bullet Rodeo ($11.99)

This can be a taking pictures recreation with three phases to blast your manner by. It typically appears to be like like a poor man’s Wild Weapons, however don’t be fooled: it’s a lot worse than you’re imagining. As normal, you actually can’t belief the standard of a recreation that launches with an 80%+ low cost. What that claims concerning the output of RedDeer, who appears to do that with each recreation it publishes, is as much as you to type out.

Traumatarium ($2.99)

That is an indie Recreation Boy recreation, so it’s not simply adopting that type for nostalgia factors. It’s a roguelite dungeon crawler the place it’s a must to defeat the 4 evil rulers on the backside of every lair. Fairly quick, however candy sufficient that on the worth it’s going for it’s not a foul worth.

Historic Relics – Egypt ($19.99)

That is concerning the tenth recreation like this from Inexperienced Sauce Video games, so there isn’t a lot to say. Play match-3 puzzles, acquire sources, rebuild a village. There are 116 ranges to play, and I’ll as soon as once more gesture wildly on the App Retailer the place yow will discover lots of of video games identical to this totally free.
