Arcade Archives Rainbow Islands ($7.99)
This recreation most likely doesn’t want any main introductions, notably for our European readers. The primary recreation to hold the “Bubble Bobble 2” moniker (however not the final), that is one other enjoyable arcade motion recreation about beating baddies and gathering fruits. Nicely, you’re truly simply making an attempt to get to the highest of every stage. However be at liberty to kill issues alongside the way in which. Hamster went all-out on this one, including in plenty of neat choices and even throwing within the Additional model at no further value. The music has sadly been altered, as the unique music infringes on Someplace Over the Rainbow, however the alternative stuff isn’t horrible. Anyway, it’s a cool recreation and I’d advocate it to anybody who likes this style.
Hidden Via Time 2: Myths & Magic ($12.99)
Are you prepared for a second serving to of Hidden Via Time? Discover the objects in charming scenes, this time with a gimmick that modifications the season or time of day. Some objects can solely be present in sure situations, including an additional layer of complexity to the proceedings.

For those who loved the primary recreation, that is a simple advice.
Beneath Evening In-Beginning II Sys:Celes ($49.99)

You get a roster of twenty 4 characters together with three new fighters, rollback netcode on-line multiplayer, and a continuation of the story. We don’t get a complete ton of one-on-one fighters on the Swap and the primary recreation was actually good, so followers of the style will most likely need to give this a glance.
Jett Rider ($12.49)
Oh, this seems fairly cool. It’s an action-adventure the place your character makes use of a jetpack to get round. You’re truly taking part in as a junk collector of kinds, however whenever you arrive on the planet Gravos to do your job, you notice one thing has gone awry. Hold your set off finger prepared and your thruster finger regular, since you’re going to wish plenty of exact strikes to outlive this one. Earn cash by gathering area particles and recycling it, improve your gear, and gather particular Golden Idols that you would be able to commerce for some actually helpful stuff. There’s simply one thing about video games with jetpacks that grabs my consideration. I’ll have to do this out.
Chip’s Problem ($2.99)
So right here is, I feel, a primary for the Nintendo Swap eShop. That is an Atari Lynx recreation. Certain, we’ve seen some in Atari 50, however that is the primary stand-alone Lynx launch on the platform so far as I do know. And what a superb choose, too. One among my favourite video games on Atari’s handheld, Chip’s Problem sees you tackling 100 and forty levels of puzzle motion. Accumulate coloured keys, seize restricted power-ups that will help you traverse treacherous terrain, discover all of the chips, and make your approach to the exit. From easy guidelines comes some actually devilish puzzles, and it’s very easy to search out your self going again for another stage.
EGGCONSOLE Yokai Tantei PC-8801 ($6.49)
That is usually the place I’d attempt to fill you in on the most recent obscure Japanese laptop recreation being resurrected through the EGGCONSOLE line, however I’m not very accustomed to Yokai Tantei Chima Chima. Clearly, it’s some form of maze motion recreation, which was a style on the wane in 1984 however not completely out of trend. Nicely, I’ve dedicated to reviewing all of those video games by myself dime, so I’ll have extra particulars for you as soon as I’ve given it a radical playthrough.
Starward Rogue ($14.99)
A roguelite twin-stick shooter that fortunately refers to itself as an Isaac-like, which is a time period you don’t see fairly often in recreation descriptions. Pilot one in every of 9 mechs and discover greater than 5 hundred totally different rooms, battling over 100 enemy sorts and a bunch of bosses. There are lots of of things to choose up and use, and you may stage up and purchase upgrades at retailers. It’s a superb one, offered you don’t have a dislike of this kind of affair. You’ll undoubtedly get your cash’s price out of it in case you like what it’s laying down.
Silver Falls -Guardians and Metallic Exterminators S ($20.99)
It is a remaster of a Nintendo 3DS recreation, and it consists of some easy however gratifying fake LCD video games and a mission-based action-RPG mode. It’s completely drenched in Nineteen Eighties nostalgia, which is a novel idea that I’m stunned nobody has considered earlier than. An honest recreation if not rather more than that, and the developer’s ardour and pluck actually makes you need to throw some cash their manner at times. Whether or not or not that is the sport that may make you need to try this, I can’t say. Silver Falls is a bizarre collection like that.
Anomaly Agent ($14.99)
A trendy motion platformer recreation that’s extraordinarily well-liked over on Steam, and whereas I’ve solely performed just a little of it, it’s straightforward to see why. Very nice presentation, an amusing story, and the gameplay mechanics are stable. It leans closely into the humor facet of issues, which in fact goes to be subjective, however it’s arduous to not vibe with its madcap vitality. I’ll give it extra time and maybe provide you with extra ideas on it later.
Evil Nun: The Damaged Masks ($19.99)
One other a type of stealth horror video games that I’m not excellent with. This one options an evil nun who wields a would possibly hammer that she most likely isn’t going to make use of to construct a sturdy bookshelf. Evaluations for the sport on different platforms appear to lean on the constructive finish, and since I’m a base coward that’s actually so far as I can take you right here.
UFO: Henfield ($8.99)
A wierd point-and-click fashion journey recreation a couple of man exploring a mansion after receiving a mysterious letter. Apparently there’s a lacking professor, and loads of dry comedy. The sport consists of forty totally different areas, and also you’ll need to journey throughout a number of time intervals. One other recreation that leans into the humor fairly a bit, so your mileage could fluctuate. I feel it’s fairly humorous, although. Greater than just a little tough across the edges, however that’s how this type of factor goes typically.
Onion Drive ($4.99)
Oh hey, Thalamus. Which means that is most likely fairly good. It’s an action-adventure/tower protection mash-up with thirty ranges set throughout six totally different areas. You’ve bought three totally different heroes to select from, and there are eight totally different sorts of towers to construct. Oh, and you may gather onions and commerce them for helpful stuff. I assume that’s why they’re the Onion Drive. I believed it was as a result of they tied onions to their belts or one thing like that. Are you able to save the final king earlier than it’s too late?
Satan Inside Us: Roots of Evil ($14.99)
Okay, so that is one other horror recreation. It’s a story-focused affair, and also you play as a 74 12 months previous priest. You could have the proportionate power, velocity, and agility of a 74 12 months previous man, so… you realize, watch out. You do have some magic priest powers, and a helpful crucifix for curses that gained’t come out with water alone. As I discussed above, I don’t actually do horror that always. As such, I can’t actually let you know a lot about this one. I feel the selection of protagonist is fascinating, no less than.
KOBOLOK ($3.99)
Look, you’re not going to imagine this, however right here’s one other horror recreation. This one has an fascinating visible fashion to it, if nothing else. It additionally steeps its story in Japanese European folklore, and that’s a great way to go together with this kind of factor. The outline guarantees that you’ll be spooked and intrigued.

You’ll additionally need to handle your workers, so don’t slack on the coaching. It’s a superb instance of the style, however I’ve to say that that is one other PC-to-Swap port with extraordinarily tiny textual content in locations. A little bit of a bummer, but when that form of factor doesn’t hassle you an excessive amount of then by all means, take pleasure in.
Promoting Souls ($2.99)
A brief narrative journey recreation about an individual who takes a job at a neighborhood web cafe and will get much more than he bargained for.
