Hi there light readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Spherical-Up for February eighth, 2024. It’s Thursday at the moment, and meaning we’ve a very good variety of new video games to take a look at. There isn’t something main within the line-up, however if you happen to’re in search of one thing enjoyable to play you doubtless gained’t go away empty-handed. We’ve obtained summaries of every thing price summarizing, plus the same old lists of latest and expiring gross sales for the day. Let’s dive in and see what we are able to discover!
New Releases
Invector: Rhythm Galaxy ($24.99)
The gratifying rhythm recreation Invector returns, this time with a soundtrack pulled from quite a lot of Warner Music artists. Meaning you’ll be taking part in alongside to tracks from PinkPantheress, Charlie Puth, Duran Duran, and extra. I do know… certainly one of them! Effectively hey, it’s not like you must be accustomed to the music to get pleasure from a recreation like this. I appreciated the primary recreation nicely sufficient, so I’ll fortunately give this one a spin.
Konosuba – God’s Blessing on this Great World! Love For These Garments Of Need! ($49.99)
With licensed video games the problem usually comes from attempting to appease the present fanbase whereas additionally not constructing too excessive of a wall for newcomers. I consider Konosuba goes to have some problem with the latter level. It’s a visible novel with some crafting parts, and the story is {that a} cursed relic has precipitated all the ladies’ personalities to reverse. The one technique to elevate the curse is to craft outfits that match their new needs. Actually simply an excuse for some fan service, however if you happen to love Konosuba then that may be precisely what you’re after.
Arcade Archives Face Off ($7.99)
Now right here’s an obscure pull. Face Off is an ice hockey recreation launched within the arcades in 1988 by Namco. I’m fairly certain it’s the primary hockey recreation we’ve gotten in Arcade Archives. Although it’s a little bit of a stretch to name it a correct hockey recreation, because it appears to have been designed by somebody who perhaps caught a sideways look at a hockey recreation on TV as soon as after which tried to recreate it from reminiscence. It’s fairly enjoyable as a sports activities recreation however the higher the game the extra you’ll doubtless chafe at this odd interpretation.
Cannibal Abduction ($11.99)
Hm, we’re actually into the period of PlayStation-style low poly nostalgia now, aren’t we? Right here’s one other survival horror recreation of that ilk, following the story of a man named Henry who’s attempting to flee a home the place a cannibal household resides. I suppose he doesn’t need to keep for dinner. Cover from the killers, resolve some puzzles, and attempt to keep alive. You don’t have a lot in the way in which of means to defend your self towards the killer that stalks you, so run and conceal as wanted.
West Hunt ($9.99)
Whilst you can play this one alone, it’s actually meant as a multiplayer expertise for as much as six gamers on-line. Some gamers are Sheriffs, others are Outlaws. The aim of the Outlaws is to trigger bother across the city, whereas the Sheriffs clearly have to catch them.
Shanghai Summer time ($14.99)
An journey recreation that principally focuses round conversations between characters. Not fairly a visible novel, however definitely leaning in that path. It focuses on school-age characters, and actually I can’t glean sufficient from its plot description to grasp its hook. Some sort of sci-fi enterprise, to make sure. Past that, I’ll go away it as much as you to research additional.
Mustache in Hell ($4.99)
Officer Mustache has by some means landed in Hell, and he’s going to should blast his method out on this twin-stick shooter. There are a selection of weapons to gather and use, loads of enemies to take down, and even the occasional mild puzzle to resolve. I’m going to be doing a assessment of this one quickly, however that zoomed-in digicam has me considerably involved already.
God of Gentle: Remastered ($4.99)
Oh, I keep in mind this one from its cell launch. That is a kind of puzzle video games the place you might want to mirror a beam of sunshine and make it shine on particular targets. There are 100 and fifty ranges to play, and if it looks like it’d get previous earlier than you run out of levels, fear not! There are numerous attention-grabbing gimmicks peppered in to maintain issues recent as you suppose your method by means of. A really agreeable 5 greenback recreation for puzzle followers.
Neet Lady Rehabilitation Plan ($19.90)
Right here’s one other romance visible novel that has been saddled with a localization so horrible that it’s nearly unimaginable to disregard. You’re attempting to assist some ladies who’ve determined to surrender on society by getting them jobs and usually popping out of their rooms once more. Looks as if a recipe for love! Actually although, if a text-heavy recreation can’t even be bothered to wrap the phrases correctly on the finish of sentences, it’s not price your hard-earned twenty bucks.
The Bin Bunch
Alpaca Wonders Why ($3.99)
Pirates: Caribbean Chronicles ($4.99)
Police Automotive Driver: Metropolis Parking Simulator ($9.99)
