Maybe people too fascinated with the [delinquent] context and any tactical game may still enjoy Banchou Tactics a lot. I confess I still had fun at times and my feelings are more along the lines of sadness because the concept is pleasant and could have been used to make a high level game. I hope the next games from the team may offer more polishment and maybe even aim to be more ambitious.

Ultra Hat Dimension is a game without great qualities. With a focus on gameplay, it fails to deliver really interesting puzzles, oscillating between the boredom of more than fifty obvious levels and only a handful of challenging areas. For people looking for a casual retro-style puzzle, there are much better options on the market.

It is a pity that A Summer with the Shiba Inu does not properly explore its potential, as it's visuals are colorful and attract attention. In addition, dogs are charismatic and have interesting expressions. However, the mystery is not interesting at all, the story is longer and more confusing than it should be and the game does not seem to know very well what it really wants to do due to its great inconsistencies. In general, there are better games to enjoy on Switch.

I begrudgingly must say A Long Journey to an Uncertain End isn't a game I can recommend. It brings a story filled with fun characters and a universe I loved getting to know and the gameplay concept could have made a fantastic experience. Unfortunately, the lack of polish and care when transposing this adventure to the Switch impacted the full package too significantly to let it[s issues] slide.

Ashwalkers had the potential to be a very peculiar experience. Unfortunately, its sluggishness and superficiality end up turning its excellent proposal into something very limited. To make matters worse, the Switch version still has performance issues that make everything noticeably slower. Thanks to all these factors, it is a game that is difficult to recommend, but one that players more inclined to intimate and solemn adventures may still be able to enjoy.

Unfortunately, Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Infinite Combate is just a generic action game that surfs on the fame of its original work and offers nothing particularly interesting. It can still be fun, but only in a banal way that almost any other title of the genre can be.

Labyrinth of Zangetsu offers a traditional dungeon crawler RPG experience but doesn't go beyond that simple skeleton of a concept. Only its stylized Japanese ambience is a highlight, making it hard to recommend to any person who isn't already fascinated with the genre when compared to better games in the market.

Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness is a curious interpretation of the universe created by Akihito Tsukushi, but a variety of technical issues and lacking polishment end up weakening the experience considerably. Fans of the original work who want to feel the despair of diving into the abyss may find the game really interesting but the experience tends to be mediocre, especially for those who don't even know Made in Abyss well.

Kaichu: The Kaiju Dating Sim is a dating sim parody that tries to make jokes about relationships and gender itself. However, its superficiality and little understanding of what really makes a dating sim interesting considerably compromise the experience, which ends up being worth no more than a quick playthrough.

Saint Kotar is an adventure title that had the potential to be very interesting. Unfortunately, its story is poorly executed, not knowing how to use the horror elements in a convincing way. In addition, the title ends up not being clear at various times in indicating the player's goals. In general, fans of the point-and-click genre may like the game, but it is not a good representative of what this style of play has to offer.

In general, it is difficult to recommend Roommates. On the one hand, the work is quite engaging as a slice of life filled with humor. On the other hand, the gameplay choices and the use of stereotypes and prejudices can be quite unpleasant. Even though I had a lot of fun with the game and found it a reasonable example of the genre, there are better examples of visual novels and simulators on the Switch.

Although Creepy Tale reasonably represents the genre and is not a bad game, it also has nothing special. Its puzzles are too simple and its gloomy atmosphere is not enough to make the game minimally memorable.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is an RPG that actively strives to go against the market's quality of life efforts in pursuit of an old-school ideal. However, the result is a game that closes in on itself and caters only to the most die-hard fans of the genre. It's a shame, because even simple adjustments, like a mission menu and occasional changes to the menu, would be enough to maintain the challenge without the part that is purely inconvenient.

In the end, The Legend of Legacy HD Remastered doesn't make much of an effort to renovate the original work. What we have here is an RPG that can be interesting only for the most passionate about the genre who are looking for a loose experience focused on combat and grinding.

Crymachina has an interesting world but that is not enough to make it a highlight due to its tiresome and boring gameplay. It's honestly difficult to recommend it to those who love action RPGs with so many good examples of the genre in the market, but those who get to love the characters' stories may still enjoy it.

Overall, OU is an adventure game that draws the player's attention with its style and it's worth a shot for fans of the genre. However, the limited ability to interact with the environment will likely not keep players outside this niche interested. Even so, this is a kind of experimental title I consider worth giving a chance and I hope that a future release by its creators may further explore the ideas that make OU fascinating.

Skautfold: Usurper is a reasonable metroidvania in its proposal and fulfills what is expected of a game of the genre. However, the various small issues stack up to keep the experience from standing out within a market that has much better games already available. At the moment, it is only recommended for those who are very fond of the style.

Loop8: Summer of Gods is a very different RPG from the usual market. Despite having some glitches and polishing details that considerably weaken the experience, it is a type of game that people more enthusiastic about the genre or for simulators well focused on the evolution of attributes can enjoy.

Magical Drop VI offers a good return to the series but makes a significant blunder on balancing. The Story Mode experience especially ends up unnecessarily frustrating and there are other polishment issues that deserve fixes in future updateds but fans of this long-standing franchise will feel at home.

God of Rock mixes two highly technical genres into a complex and hard to master experience. Though the game is charismatic and offers some variety in the concept of its characters, it ends up failing to present it successfully to the player, making it necessary to make a lot of effort to understand the various elements of its gameplay. Even so, this is a worthy title for players who are prepared to face the enormous frustration until they can enjoy this eccentric and unique opportunity.
