#Secret neighbor switch review for free#

This is a short narrative adventure about metal-detecting in the countryside. Not a bad little game for what it is, but its brevity and slipshod translation are a lot easier to stomach when it costs watching a couple of video ads instead of ten bucks. You’re trapped in a convenience store by a tricky ghost and need to solve all of the puzzles to get out.

Cape’s Escape Game 3rd Room ($9.80)Īnother Cape game, and like the others you can play this for free with ad support on your mobile device if you want. Blast UFOs, avoid incoming asteroids, and enjoy one of the most ridiculously awesome end-of-game explosions you’ll ever see in a forty year old shoot-em-up. You are putting your quarter in Taito’s Space Cruiser. Time to party like it’s 1981 and you’re not interested in playing Defender, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Frogger, Tempest, Bosconian, or even Vanguard. Each of the girls has different levels of evolution, so you’ll need to do some grinding to collect them all. There’s a support mode that will stop the ball from dropping off the screen, if you want a slightly easier time of it. Another block breaker, with the main gimmick being that you’ll reveal pictures of anime-style girls by clearing all the blocks in a stage. eastasiasoft needs to watch out other companies have clearly figured out their formula. And yes, every so often you’ll earn pictures of the girls for your gallery. Nothing too interesting about this one, but each stage you clear does let you pick a perk in that pleasing roguelite-ish way. Come for the top-down tank action and things may go a bit better. I feel like if you’re buying this for the girls, you’re probably going to come away disappointed. The camera is sometimes a pain, the controls just don’t feel good, and some of the puzzles are a little too out there for their own good. Well, that’s quite pretty, isn’t it? Inked has a story to tell and an attractive way of doing so, but the nuts and bolts of the gameplay don’t fit together as tightly as you might like. A solid choice for those who scoff at “just right' and instead like their porridge big, bold, and tongue-meltingly hot. It even adds branching paths and multi-layered levels to really confuse the heck out of you. Spelunky 2 does its best by adding a whole lot more of everything. How do you follow up a game that most people never stopped playing? It’s a mystery that has yet to be fully solved, I think. Already own it on another platform? You probably don’t even need me to give you a shove to buy it again.

If you like a stiff challenge that rewards players who know when to be patient and when to just boogie, you should buy this. Let’s wade into all those new games! New Releases Spelunky ($9.99)ĭerek Yu’s endlessly replayable roguelike platformer hits the Switch in fine form. We also have the lists of incoming and outgoing sales for you to check out, and those are pretty much as normal. I’m just about back to normal now, but between the lingering headache and the sheer number of new releases today, you may find the summaries to be a bit, er, brief compared to the usual ones.

Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for August 26th, 2021.
