The Count Lucanor is a solid indie release on Nintendo Switch with a story that takes a turn into creepy territory, presented with an interesting minimalist pixel art style that makes the game stand out. It's a release that does not overstay its welcome, clocking in at around 3 to 5 hours depending on your skill level and how many rooms you end up completing between those with real letters and those with the fake ones, which is the perfect size for this quirky adventure.
Crawl is definitely worth a download, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!
There's a good and rich story to experience, fun side-quests, solid combat mechanics and even some mini-games to enjoy here and there. Go on and donwload Crossing Souls today!
Final Thoughts Although I can't compare it with the first game (yet), it feels to me that Over the Moon Games have built a better game on top of an already good game with The Fall Part 2: Unbound. It's take on AI is really captivating, almost as much as its story, and there are enough gameplay and story twists to keep you interested all the way to the end of A.R.I.D.'s quest.
Timothy Vs the Aliens is a solid release from the Spanish indie team at Wild Sphere, and an ambitious one. The game is an open world release that, unfortunately, doesn't feel as populated as it could have been, but it probably comes down to the development budget and time the indie studio had for making the game. As long as you give this one a chance you'll get to experience a short but fun story with great gameplay mechanics and a Platinum trophy, which is rare with indie releases. This is a good effort from Wild Sphere and I look forward to seeing what the team does to expand on the formula.
If you're looking for a top-down action release that offers bite-sized levels for you to dive into for a few minutes at a time with a difficulty that slowly ramps up as you go, then you should give Crimsonland a try. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it does offer a solid and entertaining arcade-style release on Nintendo Switch that is worth a shot.
Overall, Danger Zone is a fun arcade-style release that will keep you coming back for more as you try to find the best strategy for causing as much damage as possible for each run in each of the game's simulations.
Hiragana Pixel Party is an interesting game/educational tool on Nintendo Switch that, for a few bucks, will teach you some basic Japanese by way of a rhythm game presentation. The cartoony graphics and art are great to look at and the voice acting will help you learn the proper pronunciation for the things you'll get to learn. What's not to like?
Splasher is a very colorful and fun 2D action platformer with plenty of content to enjoy. Once you get into the groove of things and you start to 100% level after level, you'll see why it's a very addictive experience. Before you know it you would have completed all stages in the game and rescued all Splasher from Le Decteur, ready to do it all over again as you aim at landing a spot at the top of the time trial leaderboards.
The Longest Five Minutes is a very fun release from NIS America that is perfect for the Nintendo Switch since you can play the game in short burst at home or on the go and put the console in sleep mode to quickly carry on as soon as you have some free time, or you can play for longer sessions if you feel like it. The game's art style and music are great, and the gameplay mechanics and interesting story will keep you busy until the end. I'm very happy about what NIS America has done with this release, and I look forward to seeing what else they bring to the Nintendo Switch this year.
If you are wanting a tough and challenging stilized release on Nintendo Switch, then you should give 60 Seconds! Other than the controls which feel a bit awkward, the game offers an interesting take on the survival genre.
Overall, it's hard to recommend Sparkle 2 EVO on Nintendo Switch. The underlying premise is good, and when executed right it can make for a very fun release, but this one feels lacking in some areas. Perhaps the game can be patched to increase its content or add a new mode or two, but in its current state, it's not a very fun release.
Boiling Bolt is definitely different from other shoot 'em ups I have played, which is a pro and a con for the game. The way the playing field is limited will challenge even the more seasoned players of the genre. The game is short since there are only five main levels, but there's enough in there to keep speedrunners busy for a while. If you're a fan of the genre, this one might be right up your alley, as long as you're ready for a game that will test your skills to the max.
Ambition of the Slimes is a fun tactis/strategy/puzzle game with solid gameplay mechanics and an interesting premise that makes for a game that is easy to recommend on the Nintendo Switch. Its colorful presentation is very charming, and before you know it you'll have spent many hours playing the latest release from Flyhigh Works, making this one worth your time and money.
Raiders of the Broken Planet is a fun third person shooter on PlayStation 4 that is trying to do things a bit differently. Some things work and some need some extra work, but overall, now that the game's prologue has changed into the Eternal Soldier, and after some rebalancing and polish here and there, the current version of the base game is an experience that has definitely been improved, and it does make it easier to see where MercurySteam is taking the story with subsequent campaigns.
Invector is a fun rhythm game with a solid soundtrack from AVICII. Your mileage may vary if you're not a fan of his music, but the gameplay mechanics, colorful visuals, 22 AVICII tracks to play and three difficulty levels make for a fun rhythm game on PlayStation 4 that you should definitely check out.
Tallowmere is a fun roguelike game on Nintendo Switch that is worth a shot.
Although being a bit repetitive, 99Vidas is a fun release that will play the nostalgia angle to charm gamers. Beat 'em ups, by nature, feature repetitive gameplay, but 99Vidas does a good job at keeping things fun while paying homage to some of the classics in the genre. If you're a fan of beat 'em ups, then you should check this one out from – especially if you have some friends to play laong with!
The bite-sized nature of each level you take on, and the weapon progress will keep you coming back for more until you've managed to complete a full run through one of the potential routes before diving right back into it for another go. I highly recommend that you give Super Hydorah a go on PlayStation – I'm sure you're going to love it!
Overall a pretty decent racer and that is coming from someone who isn't a huge fan of the racing genre, I'm more of a karting or buggy kind of racer haha. Would love the game to make the transition to the Nintendo Switch, Imagine the game in portable mode on a bigger screen, Some day I hope that happens. 80's Overdrive won't appeal to the hard core racers, but it's a pretty decent game so why not give it a chance?
