Cat Quest III ($19.99)
Look, when you’re going to return again for a 3rd scoop on an idea, you would do rather a lot worse than shifting to a swashbuckling pirate theme. The cute and pleasant action-RPG sequence returns with an journey set within the Purribean. Sail the excessive seas, full quests, and shiver no matter timbers want shivering. We’ll have a overview quickly, however suffice it to say that builders The Gentlebros have carried out it once more.
SteamWorld Heist II ($29.99)
Phew, what a day. We’ve acquired an important sequel to Cat Quest, and now right here’s the most recent SteamWorld recreation. It’s a follow-up to SteamWorld Heist, a recreation I loved very a lot. Amazingly, this recreation additionally takes on a sea-faring theme. I imply hey, the extra the merrier.

I’ll be doing a overview of this recreation reasonably quickly as properly.

EGGCONSOLE Arguice no Tsubasa PC-8801mkIISR ($6.49)
The rule of EGGCONSOLE is that the video games are delivered as they have been language-wise, and a few of them are extra accessible than others due to that. Arguice no Tsubasa isn’t simply an RPG, however an RPG that requires you to make use of its 100-page instruction guide (which is in Japanese, naturally) to unravel the various included puzzles. In case you can’t perceive Japanese, don’t hassle. There isn’t even a chapter choose on this one, so you possibly can’t skip round to tour the story.
Omochapon ($14.99)
It is a cute thought. You play as gachapon toys wandering round a shopping center. As you play, you’ll unlock extra toys to manage. There are six distinctive ones in whole with many variants of every, and so they all management in a different way from one another. There are some hidden secrets and techniques to find, so discover totally. I just like the idea, however I’ll must play it to see how the execution labored out.

What’s up with that? You imply to seek out out, and that’s how issues get going. It appears fairly promising to me, however I’m little greater than phrases in our on-line world.
Vividlope ($9.99)
At its coronary heart it is a very basic arcade idea. You simply have to color a sure variety of tiles on every stage to maneuver on to the subsequent. What turns it on its head is its use of weird phases that loop upon themselves, and your full lack of regard for the legal guidelines of gravity. A couple of modes, a couple of playable characters, and unlockable hats. What extra do you want?

Love is throughout ($12.99)

Past the gimmick of utilizing actual actors I don’t suppose there’s something significantly particular to this one, however that may be sufficient for some.
Sushi Drop ($7.00)
At first, I believed this was going to be one other Suika Sport knock-off. However no, right here you’re dropping sushi with an purpose to constructing the very best tower you possibly can. Which means you’ll must watch out about the place you place issues so the entire works received’t come crashing down. You’ll be able to play with different gamers, too.

Kanna Maze ($3.99)
A choice-based visible novel that isn’t about smooching? That’s uncommon on Swap. Anyway, it is a science-fiction story the place the principle character is drawn to an underground analysis facility the place he runs right into a buddy he thought was lifeless. There’s an actual basic Chunsoft vibe to this one, and that worth is tough to argue with.
Demon Go! ($2.99)
It’s an auto-runner. Run, soar, seize the goobers, die, run once more. A clear visible fashion and it’s low cost as chips. Possibly cheaper due to inflation.
Gross sales
(North American eShop, US Costs)
Okay, this isn’t a drill. You see that sale on Mushihimesama, the superb conversion of one in every of Cave’s nice shoot ’em ups? Discover how its finish date is sooner than the opposite video games from its writer? That date isn’t simply the tip of its low cost. The sport will likely be faraway from sale on the eShop in a few days because of the license expiring. Purchase it now when you suppose you’ll ever need it. Ten bucks is paltry for such a superb title. The lists aren’t very massive as we speak, so take all of them in. And purchase Mushihimesama. The opposite two Cave video games in all probability aren’t lengthy for the world both, so make some tentative plans to seize them too.
