I've been playing Archvale all day (these aren't my pics, just random ones of gameplay) -- this game is a BLAST. Imagine the first Zelda (fighting, puzzles, etc) but fun and playable (there's difficulty levels), plus more twin stick shooter action. It's an incredible game. I have it on Switch but it's on Steam etc too. Highly recommend.
Double dipped on @SpaceMyFriend's Cavity Busters for the Switch today. It's on sale on the eshop for just $10.61 until March 7. Grabbed it on Xbox when it went on sale there a while back, too.
It's THAT good of a game.
If you're into roguelikes, twin stick shooters, bullet hells, you may dig.
SEVERAL good looking things coming to (and already on) Switch that Nintendo showed in their Direct yesterday. Contra: Operation Galuga, Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble, Another Crab's Treasure, Penny's Big Breakaway, and most importantly (for me), POCKET CARD JOCKEY is NOW on Switch in the form of Ride On! 🤯 (See the 2nd link below for the full Direct with all the games.)
I LOVE PCJ on 3DS. My friend on Twitter got me hooked on it. So cool that more people will get to play this new Switch version since the 3DS store shut down and you can't grab that one anymore. It's a super weird concept, you play solitaire to race horses. It's addictive and amazing.
House of the Dead: Remake for the Switch is on sale 75% off ($6.24!) in the eshop for just two more days-- lowest price I've ever seen it. I usually prefer physical copies of games when they exist, but this is too low of a price to pass up 😂 for one of my favorite franchises, when I don't have the physical (yet).
Cool to see writeup on a game that's already on my wishlist, Cobalt Core. It's on Switch, I may grab it there. I can't speak to if I like it yet, but I'm guessing I probably will. The genre is "sci-fi roguelike deckbuilder", which sounds odd but check the screenshots at these links- I kinda get it. I think it looks great - I dig weird strategy stuff like this sometimes. Now I'm even more psyched to play it.
As usual lately, playing (grinding) on Demon's Tier+ at night on Switch (its also on Steam and other consoles) which is a KILLER roguelike (maybe I've talked about it here before, I forget). Anyway, I've been unlocking characters, trying to unlock all the tiers too. Its TOUGH, at least for me.
Some tips I can pass along:
-Always buy potions when you can (pricey, 3000 coins), keys (1000 coins, for freeing prisoners - they give you more money if you make it out, and improve your attacks) and rope (200 coins, the cheapest and a good way of zapping out of a dungeon if you're going to die so you keep your coins).
-You can often find the grave of where you previously died in the dungeon with your ghost in front, and if you destroy the gravestone, you'll get all your cash back.
-You have to achieve the mission and escape the level and not get hit by the reaper, who comes out when your time runs out. He will kill you, and if you see him, run, use a rope to escape up, etc. If he touches you, you're dead.
-When every level starts, you're in a temporary glowing shielded ring like in the photo below - if your character class has ranged attacks, just stand in that as long as it's there and blast as many monsters as you can before it fades - they can't hurt you in there.
Grabbed Wizorb on Switch as I had a few points and it's on sale for just $1.99 on the eshop. It's great! It's basically a super-powered Breakout. Is breakoutlike a game category? It should be, and probably is now. Highly recommend this one. It's on Steam too, etc.
