In today’s article, we’ve got a tomfool new trailer for Fire Emblem Engage to watch surpassing we throne into the numerous new releases of the day. Admittedly, tomorrow is looking like the worthier day this week, but there is still plenty to consider here. Without summarizing those new games, we’ll throne on over to the latest sales and outgoing discounts for the day. Let’s get to work!
News
Check Out the Latest ‘Fire Emblem Engage’ Trailer
We’re well into November now, and Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are out tomorrow. That ways the next big bullet in the first-party chamber is Fire Emblem Engage, due out in January of next year. And that, in turn, ways that the marketing is going to start rolling out. So here we are, with a tomfool new trailer to watch. Well, I’ll leave that to you. I’m trying to alimony as much of the game a surprise as I possibly can.
New Releases
Wobbledogs ($19.99)
Here’s a weird one for those who like weird ones. Maybe plane weird ones who like weird ones. It’s a virtual pet simulator with mutating dogs who are created all the way lanugo to their guts. You set up the habitat they live in and successors them as you like to create new genetic horrors. No, you can’t fuse them with your daughter in some last ditch struggle to prove your experiments have borne fruit. Why would you plane ask that?
Pixel Game Maker Series VERZEUS ($11.99)
Oh hey, the Game Buddy series is back. This seventh entry in the line is a horizontal shooter that I would guess is paying homage to Konami’s Nemesis. Power up your weapons and take on the wayfarer threat. No Moai statues in this one, but it does have some Haniwa statues. Close enough, I’d say. I get a kick out of the faux-Game Boy games from this developer, so I’ll be picking this up for sure.
Arcade Archives Metal Black ($7.99)
Taito’s 1991 horizontal shoot-em-up is the latest wing to the Arcade Archives line-up. It was originally under minutiae as part of the Darius series but somewhere withal the line it became its own thing. That didn’t stop it from making its mark on Darius, however. The special whizgigging wade in the game ended up inspiring the whizgigging dueling in the wondrous G-Darius. This game was somewhat panned in its time, but it has picked up its pearly share of fans over the years, including yours truly. If you like Darius, you’ll probably have fun with this.
The Sealed Whirligig ($10.99)
An venture game of sorts where eight girls have been trapped in a sealed whirligig and need to escape. Travel through the rooms, solve puzzles, and try to find a good ending amongst the multiple outcomes. It uses an isometric voxel-ish art style, which seems to be somewhat trendy with indie venture games these days. This was previously released on Android under the title Escape from the Sealed Circle.
Ultimate ADOM – Caverns of Chaos ($19.99)
Ancient Domains of Mystery, or ADOM, was one of the big roguelikes from the era surpassing roguelikes became trendy. Ultimate ADOM – Caverns of Chaos is the official sequel to the game, arriving nearly a quarter of a century without the original. It attempts to underpass the hardcore sensibility of the original with a increasingly wieldy tideway to the genre, and if the response from players of its Steam version is anything to go by, it missed the mark by some measure. Well, I’m sure some Switch owners will have fun with it anyway.
Chompy Chomp Chomp Party ($9.99)
What sinful creatures humans are. We once got Garfield Lasagna Party older this week, and yet here is flipside party game? Will our thirst never be slaked? This one can be enjoyed by up to eight players via local multiplayer, and as near as I can tell you need to wrestle each other to chomp everything that can be chomped, in an effort to be the chompiest chomper of chompable things. It looks cute, and eight-player support is rare unbearable to be notable.
Extinction Eclipse ($14.99)
Oh, it’s one of these. I know lots of people who are happy when one of these comes out. It’s a space whoopee strategy game where you have to explore, gather resources, build up your fleet, and wrestle aliens. You’ve got a story mode with multiple campaigns, plus a skirmish mode to mess virtually with without you’ve worn-out that. It looks decent enough, but I haven’t had a endangerment to dig into it yet so I can’t say for sure how good it is.
My Fantastic Ranch ($39.99)
This is a management sim and while it may seem like yet flipside farming game, there’s unquestionably no farming here. Rather, you’re managing a ranch full of unicorns and dragons. Take superintendency of your steeds, entertain kids who come to the ranch, and upgrade your facilities to uplift your popularity. This honestly feels like it’s coming in at too upper of a price for what it is, but if you have a kid who loves cute unicorns and dragons I suppose forty bucks is getting off light in the grand scheme of things.
Starsand ($19.99)
A relatively standard take on the survival genre with the twist stuff that you’re in a desert. A space desert? It’s a desert. Earth-like, but not Earth. It has a similar vibe to Subnautica but it doesn’t execute things as well as that game. Still, that desert theme carries it far and when it starts to unhook on the ‘star’ part of the title it certainly takes some… interesting turns, to say the least. Survival game fans may want to take a closer look.
The Lost Labyrinth ($19.99)
Another port of one of Green Sauce Games’ mobile matching puzzle games. Instead of playing for self-ruling with ads, you get to pay twenty bucks and see no ads. You get one hundred and twenty levels to play, with a story stuff unfurled as you go. Personally, I would just play it for self-ruling on mobile and save the twenty bucks. But that is me, and you are you. So you do what you like.
In Extremis DX ($4.99)
A vertically-scrolling shoot-em-up from the folks at QUByte Interactive. It features co-op local multiplayer so you can bring a friend. There are eleven stages to wham your way through, each with its own theme, and twelve weapons to use on your enemies. The gameplay probably won’t win any prizes for novelty, but I requite them credit for the unconvincing style of it all.
World Class Champion Soccer ($10.99)
I guess with the World Cup right virtually the corner, seeing this kind of junk pop up is to be expected. Here’s our old pals at TROOOZE doing their weightier to try to make a hot whippersnapper with a genre they have scrutinizingly no wits whatsoever with. Touch controls are required, so you’ll have to play in handheld mode. It’s just dribbling and self-ruling kick competitions too, so don’t expect to unquestionably play a game of soccer. Put it in the bin where it belongs.
The Awakening of Mummies ($2.99)
A puzzle game where you need to guide the mummies to their totems to unshut the door to the next stage. You tenancy all of the mummies at the same time, which makes it tricky to stave traps. Seems fine for the meager price it’s selling for.
Happy Animals Mini Golf ($4.99)
Wow, that looks ugly. Okay, well. This is a mini golf game featuring unprepossessing golfers. There are thirty variegated locations set in a gigantic house for some reason, and you’ve got twelve variegated unprepossessing golfers to segregate from. Up to four players can join in on the fun via local multiplayer. Seems like a good deal for the price but I really wish the art style was a bit better.
Sales
(North American eShop, US Prices)
Not a whole lot yet, but there are some new low prices for Children of Morta and Moonlighter if you’re interested in those. Last undeniability on that Eastward sale, too. Otherwise, you might want to hold off and see what tomorrow brings.
