Each day sees you exploring to find a doll, which you’ll then have to bring back to the start as all manner of dangerous forces nip at your tail. It’s a horror game with a strong Japanese vibe to it where you play as a ten-year-old girl who has to play a deadly game with some otherworldly creatures. The Switch has already seen a visual novel spin-off of this, but here’s the main game. As mentioned with Strikers, if you want these games you’re far better off buying the sets for thirty dollars than one release for ten unless you really only want this one. Unfortunately, the poor input lag here is no different from the Psikyo Shooting Stars sets.
It’s worth noting these releases hit the Japanese eShop literal years ago, and the feature set in them feels very “early Switch era", if that means anything to you. It’s a horizontal shooter, and it’s one I’ve never really gotten on with very well. Samurai Aces III: Sengoku Cannon ($9.99)Īnd here is the other Psikyo game that hadn’t had an individual release.
Yay! Unless you only want this game specifically, I’d recommend buying the Psikyo Shooting Stars collection over this separate release. Features all of the same options as other Psikyo individual releases, and all of the same iffy input lag too. Here’s Strikers 1945 III, a solid vertical shoot-em-up with a timely fighter jet theme. It seems that City Connection is finally swinging back around and individually releasing the remaining titles from the Psikyo Shooting Stars collections that didn’t make it to the North American eShop before. I haven’t had a chance to play this yet, so I really don’t know if the reality lives up to the admittedly promising premise. 8, and more characters guest star in this game. Loid Forger from Spy X Family (c’mon, no Yor or Anya?), Slime from Slime Life (he’s such a good boy), Hibino Kafka from Kaiju No. As he is a kid, he also daydreams about some of his favorite comic characters joining him on his adventures. It’s a tactical RPG starring a kid with a wild imagination who daydreams about being a superhero. This could be awesome, or it could be not-so-awesome. Captain Velvet Meteor: The Jump+ Dimensions ($24.99) This particular one doesn’t go very far outside the lines, but it does its job. I’m sure everyone reading this knows where they stand on this kind of game, and this kind of theme. Japanese Escape Games The Hospital ($9.99) If that’s what you’re after today, this will serve you well. Kind of a mystery game, too? There’s really nothing else out there quite like it. It might sound like an adventure game, but it’s really more of a puzzle game. You need to find and identify plants and use them to influence the story, and it’s quite a tale. A strange town naturally has strange residents, and many of them are going to stop by your shop. You play as the owner of a local plant shop in a slightly offbeat town surrounded by mountains and forests. If you’re tired of the usual stuff in the Arcade Archives line, this is certainly not that. You can and should beat up the other racers on the road, making this a weird forerunner of sorts to the likes of Road Rash. This is a 1984 behind-the-back racer that distinguishes itself by swapping cars for roller skaters. There are some fairly big games coming soon in the Arcade Archives line this summer, but there will always be gaps in the schedule and that is where the Nichibutsu catalog comes in. We’re heading back into the weeds for this one, folks. I’ll have a review of this one as soon as I can drag my apparently weaksauce butt through the rest of it. But it plays well and the presentation is most agreeable to this old vampire-slaying fan.
That doesn’t mean it isn’t loaded up with the usual Touhou bullet hell nonsense, though. It’s another Touhou Project game, this time biting off of the Castlevania series, specifically Symphony of the Night. Koumajou Remilia: Scarlet Symphony ($29.99) Despite the new hardware, fans of the previous Gunvolt games will find this game fits like a comfy pair of shoes. Gunvolt and newcomer Kirin blaze into this adventure, and the fact that it’s designed for the Switch instead of the Nintendo 3DS means you can look forward to some juiced-up action in more ways than one. Let’s get into the mix! New Releases Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 ($29.99)Īfter six long years and a few spin-offs, Azure Striker Gunvolt is back with a third game. After that, it’s time for the ever-present lists of new and expiring sales. We’ve got summaries of all of them, as always. A few really interesting ones, a few really bad ones, and a whole lot of in-between. It’s mighty Thursday today, and we’ve got a big-pants list of new games for you to check out. Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for July 28th, 2022.
