New Releases
Surprise Boy Anniversary Assortment ($49.99)
Some time again we noticed a Surprise Boy Assortment launch with a handful of video games from the sequence included, with the notable and lamentable exclusion of The Dragon’s Lure. Nicely, as is usually the case the place Strictly Restricted Video games is concerned, we’ve now acquired a significantly extra thorough assortment to your consideration. This one is nearly shockingly full, even together with issues just like the SG-1000 port of the unique sport and the Sport Gear model of The Dragon’s Lure. You get a whopping 21 variations and variants of the six distinct video games within the sequence, and that’s an entire lot of gaming enjoyable for an affordable value. I’ll have a evaluate of this quickly, however Surprise Boy followers most likely don’t want to attend.
Startup Firm Console Version ($12.99)
I feel if we’ve discovered something in the previous couple of years, it’s that operating a profitable startup is fairly robust. Until you’ve gotten tons of cash and may tank by means of the issues, I suppose. If you wish to have slightly enjoyable attempting your hand at it your self however your dad and mom can’t offer you a couple of hundred thousand {dollars} to take action, you may wish to play Startup Firm. It’s a enterprise administration sim that sees you attempting to deal with the assorted parts of a model new firm. Opinions of the pc model have been stable, so all of it comes right down to how effectively they’ve tailored what was a somewhat mouse-heavy interface to console controls.
Onion Assault ($7.99)
From the developer of Gunman Clive and Mechstermination Drive comes this homage to the veggie-throwing pleasure of Tremendous Mario Bros. 2/USA. Choose up veggies and throw them at baddies, switches, and different issues. Choose up baddies and throw them, too. Choose up tanks and use them to shoot baddies. There are lots of intelligent concepts packed into this sport’s sixteen phases, and in the event you loved the earlier efforts of this developer I might say that is a simple suggestion.
Mars Base ($19.99)
After everybody moped in regards to the Change having too many farming sims, this newest farming sim is escaping to the one place that hasn’t been corrupted by complainers…. SPACE! So sure, Mars Base is one other farming sport, nevertheless it separates itself from the pack by being set on the Pink Planet itself. That includes a couple of further challenges not seen in additional terrestrial affairs. It seems like a cool twist, however the reception to the pc model has been surprisingly blended. Chances are you’ll wish to wait this one out a bit to see how this Change model settles in earlier than taking the plunge.
Arcade Archives New Zealand Story ($7.99)
Taito’s adorable-as-heck platformer was a fairly large hit again within the day, notably by means of its many residence conversions throughout numerous platforms. You play as slightly kiwi and should make your means by means of pretty massive ranges filled with hazards, enemies, and gimmicks. It nonetheless holds up pretty effectively, so if you’d like a kind of uncommon platformers within the Arcade Archives line, it is a nice choose.
7 Days to Finish with You ($11.99)
That is an attention-grabbing one. We’ve seen a couple of video games earlier than that play with language, nevertheless it’s not one thing you see typically. The premise is that you simply don’t know any of the phrases of the language spoken by the individuals of this world. It’s important to deduce the meanings of phrases and take a look at to determine the little story that performs out over the course of seven days within the lives of two individuals. Solely by absolutely determining the language will you have the ability to attain the true ending of this story. Fascinating stuff.
pixelBOT EXTREME! ($9.99)
A side-scrolling shooter with an attention-grabbing gimmick, albeit one we’ve got seen in another video games earlier than. The thought is that every of your buttons is matched with a shade and you want to kill enemies matching that shade with the right button. It provides slightly further component to consider as you make your means by means of the sport’s twenty-five phases. You may play with a buddy in native multiplayer co-op, with every of you taking your share of the colours. It appears fairly enjoyable, however I haven’t had an opportunity to play it but. I do want they’d have recolored the buttons within the UI to match the Tremendous Famicom shade structure somewhat than the Xbox one, however for the reason that Change buttons haven’t any colours related to them I suppose it doesn’t actually matter.
DobbyxEscape: Spooky Escape Journey ($3.99)
LKMAD makes some good little hidden object puzzle video games at cheap costs, and this appears like one other good one. You get six totally different areas with some enjoyable challenges to resolve, and I actually love the extra cartoony artwork model on this sport. Not far more to say than that. In case you loved Panmorphia or Kosmonavtes, you’ll wish to give this a better look.
Bike Conflict ($9.99)
T-Bull has a bike racing sport for us in the present day. It appears acceptable, I suppose. Whereas it boasts native multiplayer, word that it means native wi-fi multiplayer. You’ll want two Change consoles to play that means. Race to be 1st as a result of there isn’t a room to be 2st. Personally I don’t discover the video games from this writer to be excellent, however there have to be some followers on the market or else we wouldn’t see so many video games come from it. If you’re one in every of them, right here you go.
Uphill Rush Water Park Racing ($9.99)
Right here’s a port of a free-to-play cell sport. Give it a attempt in your cell system to see how effectively you prefer it. There are a bunch of ranges, some unlockables, a mode the place you may create your individual journey, and a UI that appears barely modified from its cell kind. Is it value ten bucks to purchase this model over simply taking part in the free cell sport? Most likely not, however that’s so that you can determine.
Japanese Escape from The Room With Sturdy Door ($9.99)
Already beginning to run dry on themes for this sequence, it appears. So sure, it’s one other one in every of these room escape video games, and the gimmick this time is that you’re in a room with a sturdy door. Actually, actually stable door. Simply… well-constructed. Are you able to defeat it? Most likely. It’s nonetheless only a door.
Yeah! Preventing Woman ($15.00)
It’s one other a kind of melee battler video games with attractive woman characters and little or no content material. Select one in every of 5 characters and go battle enemies briefly phases and arenas. Improve some stuff with the money you earn, then go do it once more. Preserve going till you’re in a position to really beat the sport. It’s grind-heavy, and the gameplay isn’t very enjoyable. Positively no Croixleur Sigma, and that’s not even a very excessive bar of high quality. It’s most likely going to promote loads anyway.
Sunwards ($15.00)
One other melee battler sport from the identical writer as Yeah! Preventing Woman, and I don’t have a lot to say that I didn’t already say in that final description. Only one character on this one and whereas the graphics look loads higher, the gameplay is simply as poor. You could find lots of higher video games for this value on the eShop. It’s most likely going to promote loads anyway.
Ginnung ($5.00)
Hey, a 5 greenback Change platformer that really prices precisely 5 {dollars}. Neat! This one is a precision platformer of types with greater than fifty ranges to play. It follows the Celeste guidelines the place you are able to do a splash in any course however want to the touch one thing stable earlier than you may sprint once more. There are secret routes and hidden collectibles to search out in the event you’re actually feeling frisky. This appears positive for the worth it’s asking.
Zodiacats ($2.99)
One other a kind of video games the place you want to prepare the tiles correctly to show the image. The theme right here is each cats and astrology, and also you’ll get info on each as you play. It’s a option to spend three bucks in case you are not curious about a pair scrumptious Snickers bars. I might take the scrumptious Snickers bars, although. Positively extra happiness to be present in them, and the chewy nougat would guarantee they last more than this sport.
Cubic Gentle ($2.99)
This puzzle sport has you inserting blocks and altering their colours as wanted to gentle up the entire stage. There are seventy-five ranges in whole. An honest sufficient little logic puzzle for the meager value it’s asking. Most likely higher than a few mouth-watering Snickers bars.
Poker Legends: Omaha Champions ($9.99)
T-Bull has one other sport for us in the present day, and it’s a reasonably bland tackle Omaha Poker. Single-player solely, so that you’re simply up towards CPU opponents. Play in tournaments and attempt to work your means up the rankings. Seems like you possibly can discover a significantly better free sport on this model on the App Retailer in the event you looked for ten or fifteen seconds.
Pipeline Panic ($19.99)
A twin-stick motion sport crossed with base protection, Pipeline Panic sees you defending Earth’s necessary pipelines from radioactive monsters. You’ll should combat off creatures utilizing a wide selection of weapons whereas doing the occasional restore job on the pipelines. You too can assemble towers that will help you fend of the fiends. It appears okay, however I’m unsure why it’s 4 bucks on Steam and twenty bucks on the eShop. It might be a simple punt on the former value however on the latter it’s actually onerous to advocate.
Nature Escapes Collector’s Version ($14.99)
One other hidden object factor from Ocean Media. They appear to essentially be going for it this time with the worth, however so far as I can inform that is simply the identical kind of factor they’ve launched a dozen or so of up till now. Discover the objects, play some mini-games, and revel within the data that you simply personal a collector’s version. Certain to understand in value over time. Would possibly pay to your child’s school tuition in the event you preserve it in good situation.
Demolition Inc HD ($9.99)
You play as a demolition employee named Mike who has been given the job to do some wrecking on Earth. Oh yeah, Mike is an alien. So that you fly round in your UFO and use varied instruments and weapons to attempt to set off chain reactions of destruction. It’s physics-based enjoyable in three cities and fifteen districts, with further modes to mess with after you’ve accomplished the marketing campaign. This one is well-liked over on Steam and I feel it has likelihood of discovering followers on the Change as effectively.
OddBallers ($24.99)
Ubisoft’s long-delayed multiplayer dodgeball get together sport seems to lastly be able to launch. As much as six gamers by way of on-line or native multiplayer can get in on the enjoyable, whipping no matter you will get your palms on at your opponents in a bid to be the final one standing. There are thirty totally different arenas to play in, every with its personal traits, and an entire pile of character customization choices. I haven’t had an opportunity to play this one but, however I’m definitely hoping it lives as much as its potential.
Haunted Zombie Slaughter ($14.99)
TROOOZE has a bland top-down zombie-themed shooter for us, and I actually query if the world wants one other one in every of these. Nicely, this received’t be the final by any means. Be at liberty to usher in a second participant for some native multiplayer co-op if you wish to share your distress. Additionally, I really like that mere zombies weren’t sufficient. No, they needed to be haunted zombies. Does that imply there are evil spirits pestering the zombies? Wouldn’t that distract them, making it simpler to get away? Questions higher reserved for a developer that places half a thought into its designs, I suppose.
Pink Fingers – 2 Participant Video games ($4.99)
I can’t stress sufficient that you don’t want a online game to play Slaps. You simply want two people with palms to play. There’s seemingly no AI opponent on this online game model both, and when you get totally different palms to select from, the artwork is simply type of… newbie. Save your 5 {dollars} for just about anything.
Animal Tremendous Craft – Maker Phrase Simulator Deluxe Sport 2023 ($1.99)
In case you wanted some lining for the kitty litter field, Midnight Works has a brand new sport out there. It’s trash, as normal. I really like that they threw ‘phrase’ within the title. It’s a bloody 2.5D platformer. Good luck pulling in that Wordle crowd, you absolute bozo clowns.
Chain Automotive Stunt Simulator – 3D Excessive Freeway Automotive Driving Video games ($1.99)
DEZVOLT Video games? A brand new challenger has appeared! They usually have by no means heard of VG Video games or Midnight Works, no sir! As you may guess from the silly website positioning optimized title, this sport is a pile of rubbish. I’ll be wanting ahead to seeing what garbage comes from this new crap-sack writer sooner or later!
Gross sales

Persevering with the current theme, there isn’t a lot happening sales-wise. I’d think about that tomorrow will likely be higher on this regard, however for now there isn’t a lot motion in both the inbox or the outbox. Take a look at each lists anyway, simply in case.
