Howdy mild readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Spherical-Up for April twenty seventh, 2023. It’s one other Thursday with properly over twenty new releases, which frankly doesn’t appear all that tenable to me, however what do I do know? I’ve summaries of all of these new video games for you, plus the standard lists of latest and expiring gross sales. That’s about it actually, however I’m hoping it’s greater than sufficient to offer you some studying enjoyment at the moment. Let’s get to it!
New Releases
Mugen Souls ($39.99)
Oh hey, Mugen Souls. It is a Compile Coronary heart/Concept Manufacturing facility RPG that initially got here out again in 2012. I’m unsure why they’ve handed it off to eastasiasoft for this Swap model, but it surely doesn’t actually matter a lot. It’s nonetheless the identical outdated Mugen Souls, a sport that developed a cult following due to its cute characters and mildly competent gameplay. This port consists of the entire newest updates and extras, so it’s pretty much as good a technique to play the sport as any. There are many critiques and impressions for this sport on the market in the event you want extra to go on.
Omega Strikers (Free)
This jogs my memory quite a lot of Windjammers for some motive. Nevertheless it’s a three-on-three sport as a substitute, and in the event you’re taking part in on-line every of these gamers might be human-controlled. Because it’s free-to-play you possibly can test it out your self to see how properly you prefer it, so I received’t blather on for much longer. Observe that it does have in-game purchases. I imply, in fact it does. However only a mild reminder.
Mercenaries Lament: Requiem of the Silver Wolf ($19.99)
Oh hey, it’s a brand new Mercenaries sport. You in all probability know the way these work by now. It’s the Mr. Pibb model of Remaining Fantasy Ways, the Remaining Fantasy Ways we’ve at dwelling. Nevertheless it’s competently made and has the notable benefit over Remaining Fantasy Ways of, you understand, present and getting new installments. So there’s that. This one has a complete new story, plenty of battles, and some additions to the gameplay that don’t actually change the broad strokes of the entire thing. Purchase it in the event you favored the final one and are nonetheless thirsty for extra.
Bramble: The Mountain King ($29.99)
Nicely, this one appears to be like somewhat attention-grabbing. It leans closely into Nordic folklore and pulls no punches by way of delivering these faery tales of their full, oft-dark glory. Whereas it’d appear to be an journey sport of kinds, it’s truly somewhat linear in nature and extra centered on telling its story. That isn’t to say there isn’t a fair proportion of motion to it, although. Certainly, the boss battles look like fairly dramatic each of their scope and what they count on from the participant. I’m unsure if this one is sweet or not but, however I might say there may be some critical potential right here.
Picross S9 ($9.99)
This in all probability doesn’t want a giant description or something. There’s a brand new rewind characteristic so you possibly can repair any goof-ups you make, however in any other case it’s simply extra Picross. A complete of 485 new puzzles to play, to be precise. Hours upon hours of enjoyable, however do you want one other one? Did you end all of the puzzles in Picross S8? Picross S7? Nicely, I can’t actually preach. I’m throwing this one on the pile too.
Arcade Archives Galaga ’88 ($7.99)
It’s fairly attention-grabbing to have this following up Cosmo Gang The Video‘s launch final week, provided that that sport was one thing of an homage to this one. Anyway, Galaga ’88. Possibly you understand it as Galaga ’90. It’s an up to date model of Galaga with quite a lot of new parts, and it’s very enjoyable so long as you don’t thoughts fixed-screen shooters. Hamster has carried out its typical fantastic work right here, and all of the extras and options you’ll count on are included.
Comfort Tales ($14.00)
Kairosoft is again, doing what Kairosoft does. It’s one other simulation sport, this time about working your individual comfort retailer. Nicely, that’s a enjoyable theme a minimum of. The same old guidelines apply right here. You will get this in your cellular machine at a lower cost, and it performs simply as properly there. So this model is absolutely solely if you’d like the sport in your Swap particularly, which is a wonderfully legitimate want. Anyway, it checks off all the standard Kairosoft bullet factors, which implies it’s a nice technique to go a couple of days even when it’s not all that powerful.
Ninja Smasher! ($7.99)
Ah, right here’s an outdated favourite of mine. Maybe you will have performed Ninja Striker; maybe you haven’t. It was an arcade-style sport constructed round making an attempt to maintain your ninja within the air so long as attainable. Now think about that concept, however positioned right into a Metroidvania components. A splendidly charming little sport, and I’ll be choosing it up for the third time with this launch.
Invercity ($14.99)
Gosh, Flyhigh Works/Circle has quite a lot of stuff out at the moment. Hopefully every of those video games will get an opportunity to shine correctly. This one is a puzzle-platformer the place you possibly can manipulate gravity to make progress. The protagonist cannot solely use a transfer that flips the phases, however she herself can do a handstand to make objects fall from the sky. Very cute, and whereas it’s not the primary time we’ve seen this sort of factor in a puzzle-platformer earlier than, it’s a really dependable set-up for some high quality gameplay.
Fotress S ($24.99)
I believe that is alleged to be Fortress S, however I write what the eShop says. Awkward since this appears to be the most recent within the Fortress collection that dates again to the 00s. This one has a narrative mode the place you possibly can accumulate twenty-nine completely different tanks, plus a battle mode the place as much as 4 gamers can combat on the similar time and a model of the traditional turn-based battle mode. The developer has additionally thrown in some minigames as a result of, hey, why not? I’m not overly conversant in the collection, however I think about some readers might be. They’ll probably be comfortable to see a brand new one, typo within the title or in any other case.
Contraptions 2 ($6.99)
I suppose that first one went over properly sufficient, then. That is the second in what I suppose is now a collection of physics-based puzzlers largely impressed by the likes of The Unbelievable Machine. Use the elements given to you to construct the answer to the issue on every stage. That drawback being the monsters infesting them, naturally. You get greater than 200 phases unfold throughout 5 completely different worlds, plus a degree creator. The enjoyable is in that the puzzle options have quite a lot of flexibility to them, so you could find your individual strategies to succeed in the purpose.
Velocity Noodle ($12.99)
Regardless of the odd title, this one is an everyday side-scrolling platformer. It has greater than sixty ranges to play, and the entire thing is designed for speedrunning. You could find every kind of shortcuts and tips to take advantage of in every degree, and also you’re rewarded properly for going as quick as you possibly can. The title comes from the concept that you’re working your individual noodle store and are delivering noodles. That’s why it’s higher to go sooner, as a result of there isn’t anybody on the planet that wouldn’t be proud of the supper they ordered coming faster.
Ash of Gods: The Manner ($24.99)
I can’t say I used to be the largest of followers of the primary Ash of Gods sport, however there was sufficient potential there that I’m keen to offer this follow-up a shot. It’s one other turn-based technique RPG, this time with a card factor to it. Construct your deck and make your selections to reach at one of many sport’s a number of endings. It appears to be like good, however then once more so did the primary sport. I suppose we’ll should see. I haven’t had an opportunity to dig into this one but, however I’ll report again if it seems to be actually cool.
Spooky Spirit Capturing Gallery ($39.99)
This, because the title says, is a taking pictures gallery sport. As much as three gamers by way of native multiplayer can be a part of up for some spirit-blasting motion in two completely different phases, or simply sit back and play some minigames. It appears to be like amusing sufficient, however I really feel just like the comparatively excessive worth goes to be the impediment for most folk right here. It simply doesn’t really feel prefer it’s providing sufficient, however maybe I’m fallacious.
44 Minutes in Nightmare ($7.00)
This, in contrast, looks like quite a lot of sport for the value. It’s a roguelite horror sport the place all the things will get all jumbled up once more every time you play. The map, the gadgets, the enemies, all of it. You’re trapped in a nightmare and wish to search out the woman trapped within it and get out. Simply watch out of the monsters, as a result of they’re continuously making an attempt to hunt you down and so they’re fairly good at it.

Roomie Romance ($9.99)
Right here’s a cute little yuri visible novel a few younger lady who’s beginning a brand new job within the metropolis. She falls in love together with her new roommate, which is extra-awkward as a result of that roommate can also be her superior at work. Make your selections and see how the story seems.

The framing machine includes a wierd psychiatrist giving the principle character a session, with every of the video games serving as some form of illustration of buried trauma. One other one that may offer you some first rate bang on your buck.

Search the ships for valuables and improve your gear to make your work extra environment friendly. Simply watch out, as there are quite a lot of methods to get damage in the event you set foot within the fallacious place. The issue right here is that Final Video games dealt with the port, which implies you possibly can in all probability count on a careless UI and numerous different points. In case you can deal with these, then this may very well be an amusing pick-up.
DobbyxEscape: Pirate Journey ($3.99)
Right here’s a household pleasant room escape sport a few boy who needs to be a pirate. He makes use of a magic wand and is ready to go on an journey with Blackbeard, who I presume is a barely nicer fellow right here than he in all probability was traditionally.

At twenty bucks this appears to be a little bit on the pricier aspect of issues, however perhaps that’s simply me. Might be that you simply really feel in another way. I’m only a bizarre web man, you haven’t any obligation to hearken to me.
Pixel Recreation Maker Collection Ninja Otedama R ($4.99)
Right here’s one other quirky sport for the checklist at the moment. The concept on this one is that it’s a must to juggle the enemy ninjas whereas making your technique to the purpose.
