Choose New Releases
Ninja Kamui: Shinobi Origins ($24.99)
I’m not aware of the anime sequence this sport is predicated on, however this G.rev-developed side-scrolling motion sport appears fairly promising. The developer is greatest recognized for its taking pictures video games, however this isn’t its first foray into this style so I’m positive it is going to end up tremendous. Take management of Tsukumo and battle your method by scores of enemy ninjas and different assorted fools. Timing is the whole lot and pace is of the essence, so transfer quick, slice sharp, and blast exactly as you make your method by every space. I haven’t had an opportunity to play this but, however I’ve had my eye on it. I’ll let you realize if it seems to be one thing particular.

Anyway, you’re the final recognized survivor of a dying planet on a mission to search out and activate an merchandise known as the Seed of Life, which can apparently deliver again your solar. It’s a mixture of puzzle and platforming, however I have to warning that whereas the sport description boasts about AAA-quality visuals that is certainly the work of a really small group and has all of the tough edges you’ll count on from such an affair. Certainly, having performed the PC model I’ve some issues concerning the efficiency of this Swap port that I’ll solely be capable of alleviate by enjoying it.
Umbraclaw ($24.99)
I hate to say it, however I’m beginning to really feel like Inti Creates has misplaced its groove a bit lately. Umbraclaw has a cool premise and a few attention-grabbing techniques, casting you as a slightly weak little recently-deceased kitty who will get extra highly effective the extra it dies. Sadly, it additionally loses extra of itself because it grows in energy, and in case you proceed that method by the sport you may’t get the completely satisfied ending. The sport feels prefer it’s caught between being a daily one-off sport and a roguelite, and it’s not a nice pull. Effectively, I’ll be reviewing this one quickly and I’ll broaden extra on my ideas then.
Goliath Depot ($6.99)
Flynns Arcade has one other enjoyable little arcade-style motion sport for us this week. Goliath Depot duties you with a easy job in every of its phases. All you need to do is shut the entire doorways. That’s simple, proper? Naturally, there are every kind of issues making an attempt to cease you from doing that, however you’ve got some restricted methods of preventing again.

A part of a long-running and standard sequence of Chinese language RPGs, this sport sees you enjoying as a swordsman ultimately of the Western Han period who battles to revive prosperity to China and defend his household. The fight is real-time and it’s… you realize, not as deep or attention-grabbing as one would possibly like. The remainder of the sport fares higher, and operating roughly fifteen to twenty hours in size, its tempo is pleasingly brisk. If you are interested within the setting, you’ll most likely be capable of tolerate its tough edges to get to the good things.
Picross S Namco Legendary Version ($10.99)
Bear in mind when Jupiter did that SEGA-flavored Picross sport? It is a Namco-flavored Picross sport. It options puzzles primarily based on all kinds of traditional Namco video games and characters, and in case you love Picross or Namco it’s a straightforward sport to suggest.

You journey from room to room, battling waves of enemies utilizing your magic powers. You possibly can play alone or pull in a good friend for 2 participant native co-op. Certain, twin-stick shooters are a dime a dozen lately, but it surely’s good to see one which pays homage to an actual traditional of the style. Fifteen bucks good, I’m unsure. However that’s your name to make.
Grasp Key ($12.50)
Really feel like exploring a decent-sized open world, accumulating objects and battling enemies as you go? Do you want that complete “1-bit” aesthetic? You then is perhaps interested by Grasp Key. It’s a type of Zelda-inspired video games, paying some apparent homage to Hyperlink’s top-down adventures. And hey, it’s fairly good.

In every of the seventy phases, you need to work out attain the objective, choosing up your stick alongside the way in which. This won’t seem to be a very grand problem, however a few of the sticks Roberto picks up are… considerably bigger than you’ll count on. I’m positive you’ll determine it out, although.
Arcade Archives Cue Brick ($7.99)
An oddity from Konami’s in depth library of arcade video games joins the Arcade Archives line-up this week, and in case you like sliding tile puzzles you’re going to have a good time with this. When you don’t, possibly the varied Konami references will assist you to slide into it? Ha! Slide into it. I didn’t even try this on function. At any price, it’s good to take a break from the standard fare at times, and this actually accomplishes that.
vridniX ($9.99)
Effectively, that is an odd fellow. He can’t cease operating, he hangs off of ceilings along with his tongue, and he can rotate ranges. Use these issues to overcome 100 phases unfold throughout six totally different worlds. I like this sport’s irreverent model, even when the gameplay isn’t something we haven’t seen earlier than.

It is a quick little narrative journey a couple of boy whose mother and father are going by a divorce and the cat that’s making an attempt to consolation him.
