New Releases

Prince of Persia The Misplaced Crown ($49.99)

The most recent recreation within the Prince of Persia collection brings issues again round to 2D, taking over the mantle of a reasonably massive Metroidvania-style affair. You play as a warrior named Sargon, and also you’ll want to make use of his expertise and your wits to defeat enemies, clear up puzzles, and uncover secrets and techniques. Sure, there’s time manipulation. It’s simply a part of the bundle with this franchise now, I suppose. Anyway, this recreation is genuinely nice, and I’ll have a overview of it very quickly. In the event you can’t wait, there’s a demo accessible you’ll be able to check out. The Digital Deluxe model got here out earlier this week, however now you can purchase the usual version.

Turnip Boy Robs a Financial institution ($14.99)

Sure people, his crimes maintain escalating. Not content material to shirk on paying his taxes, Turnip Boy is now committing armed robberies. This follow-up leans a bit extra into the motion finish of issues, and options quite a lot of roguelite parts as video games of this type are inclined to. It’s additionally nonetheless fairly humorous. I’ll have a overview of this one quickly, however if you happen to loved your self with the primary recreation and its cheeky vibe, I believe you’ll like this recreation as properly.

The Pedestrian ($19.99)

A intelligent little puzzle recreation the place it is advisable piece collectively indicators and determine how the gimmicks work on this wordless journey. It’s all fairly fairly, too. The thought with every puzzle is to attach the items such which you could seize no matter you want and get out. As you undergo, new gameplay parts are added in to maintain issues recent. Its dedication to its wordless bit could make issues slightly irritating at instances, however if you type out no matter has you caught it positive does really feel good.

Choo-Choo Charles ($19.99)

Uh, so there’s an evil spider-train named Charles. And also you’re searching it, I suppose. That appears ill-advised, however right here we’re. Looking spider-trains. You’re following Charles in your personal prepare, a non-spider variety, and must improve it by finishing missions and gathering scrap. All of it ends with a showdown with Charles, and also you’re going to want every little thing you’ll be able to collect if you happen to hope to defeat it. This got here out on different platforms a few years in the past, and as close to as I can collect from studying varied impressions the idea is healthier than the execution. Do what you’ll with it.

Arcade Archives Tremendous Contra ($7.99)

The arcade follow-up to Contra, and a recreation you would possibly already personal as a part of the Contra Anniversary Assortment. Properly, that is an Arcade Archives launch, so that you get just a few extra choices that you simply wouldn’t have seen in that set, plus additional modes and on-line leaderboards. I’ve all the time most well-liked the NES variations of the primary two Contra video games, and I really feel strongly that means about this one specifically. Nonetheless, even when it’s inferior to the NES Tremendous C, it’s a enjoyable run-and-gun recreation that you simply would possibly need to add to your assortment.

Hero of Destiny ($14.99)

It is a Vampire Survivors-style recreation, and as that form of factor goes it’s first rate sufficient albeit pretty unremarkable. Over on Steam, this sells for a couple of dollars. At that worth or round it, I’d say followers of Vampire Survivors ought to give it a shot. At 5 instances that worth? No. No, no, no. Plenty of video games of this style which can be nearly as good or higher than this at a a lot cheaper price on the Change.

Knights of Grayfang ($14.99)

Time for an additional Kemco RPG, and that is one other one from developer EXE-Create. Meaning it’s a reasonably orthodox tackle the style, although this time one in every of your characters has vampiric powers that can be utilized for varied functions. Not an enormous swing or something, however I suppose the excellent news is that if you happen to just like the earlier releases from this staff you’ll get one other serving right here. With blood!

Room of Despair ($9.99)

This recreation is a couple of younger lady named Moon who works as an workplace employee in an enormous metropolis. She suffers from melancholy, and whereas taking part in by the story you will notice how that manifests for her and the way she copes with it (or doesn’t). Undecided that is one thing I’m within the temper for proper now, however somebody will most likely get one thing out of it.

Bahnsen Knights ($9.99)

Right here’s the newest choice-based journey within the Pixel Pulps line from writer Refrain, novelist Nico Saraintaris, and artist Fernando Martinez Ruppel. It follows on from Mothmen 1966 and Varney Lake, so if you happen to had fun with these then step on up. You’re an secret agent investigating the disappearance of a good friend, a process which rapidly finally ends up with you getting concerned with a harmful cult. Can you discover the reality and stay to inform the story? Your selections will decide that.

Vigour ($3.99)

A reasonably easy thirty-level puzzle platformer starring slightly chicken. The eating isn’t terribly fancy right here, however I reckon at 4 {dollars} you’re not anticipating a blockbuster. In order for you a brief little recreation to maintain you busy for a night and wish to spend McDonalds Completely happy Meal cash on it, that is nearly as good a alternative as any right this moment.

Detective – Stella Porta Case ($10.49)

A thriller recreation with three totally different circumstances to unravel. For every of them, you’ll journey to a specific location and discover it in search of proof to {photograph}. After you’ve completed your investigation, you head again to your workplace the place you’ll need to piece all of it collectively. This writer can be not recognized for fancy eating, however this style tends to get by on spit and rubber bands more often than not so maybe it will likely be nice.

Fairytale Theatre-Momotaro’s Journey- ($2.23)

I suppose it’s that form of day. I don’t need to bin this as a result of it seems to be an earnest effort, with a system the place you achieve new talents from defeating bosses. Two {dollars}. Preserve that in thoughts, I suppose. Is that this two {dollars} good? What isn’t? Is that this value your time? In all probability not a lot of it, however I may see having a little bit of enjoyable with it if you happen to’re extraordinarily forgiving of tough edges. Is that this what sub-five greenback Change platformer power appears like?

Rescue! Dropkick On My Satan!! ($8.99)

Oh boy. Based mostly on the completely hilarious manga, it is a recreation that appears to have turn into widespread amongst Japanese cell avid gamers in one thing of an ironic means. All you do on every stage is draw a single line to attempt to defend Jashin from incoming objects or enemies. The presentation couldn’t be any cheaper, which nearly makes it funnier. As you play you’ll earn cash that you need to use to get new outfits for Jashin. That’s about it. You need to play in vertical mode with contact controls if you happen to’re going handheld, however it additionally helps button controls and horizontal mode if you happen to’re taking part in docked.
