Tomba! Particular Version ($19.99)
Name him Tombi, name him Tomba, simply don’t name him late for the pig roast. The traditional PlayStation platforming journey crafted by ex-Capcom employees involves Swap on this Particular Version from Restricted Run Video games. You get a lot of the common Carbon Engine options like save states and filters, plus a very cool museum mode the place you may take a look at scans of the packaging, manuals, manufacturing artwork, and dev paperwork. You can too view a few movies in regards to the sport, together with an interview with the legendary Professor F himself. I’ll be doing a overview of this one quickly, however thus far I’ve discovered a handful of minor points which can be hurting the expertise considerably. Nonetheless good to see Tomba again, although.
Thank Goodness You’re Right here! ($19.99)
I don’t assume a sport can get any extra British than this. You play as a touring salesman who has a giant assembly with a mayor of a city in Northern England. You get there a bit early, so that you resolve to kill a while by trying out the city and assembly a few of its residents. This sport describes itself as a comedy slapformer, and from what I’ve heard thus far it’s fairly good. In case you’re searching for amusing or two at this time, this is likely to be what you’re after.
Star Wars: Bounty Hunter ($19.99)
One other port of a Star Wars sport from the Xbox/PlayStation 2/GameCube period of gaming. This sport focuses on the adventures of Jango Fett as he hunts down a Darkish Jedi on behalf of the Republic. You have got a wide selection of weapons, plus that cool jetpack. Aspyr as soon as once more dealt with this one, so that you may wish to wait and see how sizzling it’s coming in earlier than selecting it up. That is the best way.
Hakuoki: Chronicles of Wind and Blossom ($49.99)
Two installments of the traditional otome visible novel collection get remastered on Swap on this compilation. Edo Blossoms and Kyoto Winds are right here with some slight variations within the translations, providing loads of possibilities so that you can make selections and smooch your favourite samurai hunk. You get fairly a great quantity for the value you pay right here, and in the event you get pleasure from otome visible novels and by some means haven’t performed these earlier than, that is pretty much as good a purpose as any to alter that.
MARS 2120 ($19.99)
QUByte appears to be swinging rather a lot greater on this one than with its common releases. It is a Metroidvania-style action-adventure set on Mars the place you play as a girl named 13 as she investigates the supply of a misery name. What she finds defies her wildest expectations. This sport leans fairly closely on its mixture of melee and ranged fight, together with your arsenal of strikes ever-expanding as you purchase new talents. I’ll be reviewing this one as quickly as I can, so you may stay up for extra particulars then.
Operation Tango ($19.99)
That is an attention-grabbing one. It’s a sport about pulling off spy capers, the place one participant is the spy and the opposite is actually their “man within the chair”, relaying info to them from a distance. Simply be sure you have a good friend who’s keen to affix you, as a result of it really does take two to Tango. I ought to cease there, as a result of it’s an ideal mic drop line. However so as to add a bit extra, there’s a Good friend Move coming after launch that may allow you to play with a good friend who doesn’t personal the sport, and Cross Platform play is out there proper from the hop. Oh, and it’s a must to play on-line. Simply how the principles work.
Trinity Fusion ($19.99)
Checking off the roguelite motion platformer field for this week is Trinity Fusion, which occurs to have a free demo you may check out to see if it’s your factor or not. You’re touring by the multiverse, by the appears to be like of issues. You’ll take management of your parallel selves as they undergo their very own model of the world, making overarching progress with every run. You understand how this type of factor goes. The one actual query is that if it’s a great one, and the reply is: obtain that demo and see what you assume.
Farlands Journey ($9.99)
This appears to be like cute as these sorts of video games go. It’s a platformer the place you play as a bit witch who’s on a quest to get better her magic academy’s stolen coronary heart. Alongside the best way you’ll get entry to a wide range of magic spells and hats that may assist you to resolve puzzles, defeat enemies, and transfer ahead. Don’t overlook to seize any gems you see laying round, as you should utilize them to purchase upgrades. Looks as if an honest decide at this time for the platformer followers on the market.
Landnama ($13.99)
A tense technique sport the place you management a clan of Vikings as they take their first steps into Iceland. That you must discover the land, and also you’d higher get your self arrange earlier than winter arrives. There’s no combating on this one, because you’re actually nearly exploring round and deciding on the land. Actually a streamlined tackle an idea like this, however whether or not that’s a great factor or a nasty one is right down to the person. It reviewed decently on computer systems, at the least.
Naked Butt Boxing ($14.99)
Look, I do not know in any respect if this sport is any good or not, I simply needed to jot down the phrases “Naked Butt Boxing” figuring out I get paid for this work. As much as 4 gamers by way of native multiplayer can interact in what I’m certain is a high quality athletic endeavor. Aliens combating round Earth with their butts hanging out, what extra might you need in a online game?
Chef Chen ($23.99)
A magical cooking competitors held in a fantasy world the place it’s a must to procure substances on web site, with all the hazards which will come from such strategies. As much as 4 folks can play without delay by way of native multiplayer on this celebration motion sport. It’s actually tough across the edges, however it sort of works? Is perhaps one to attempt in the event you’re internet hosting common gaming nights and want one thing recent thrown into the same old combine.
Arcade Archives The Ultimate Spherical ($7.99)
A 1988 boxing sport from Konami? Properly, this can be a little bit of a unique decide from what we often see in Arcade Archives, isn’t it? This isn’t too shabby by any means, and it’s not like we’re drowning in good traditional boxing video games in Arcade Archives. In case you want a break from the shooters, platformers, beat ’em ups, and fighters, you may wish to give this a go. It’s a little bit of an obscurity, as Konami video games go.
Tensei ($2.99)
It is a chill sport about ascending in direction of the heavens, however it’s countless so good luck with that. However hey, at the least you may turn out to be a dragon? It’s three bucks, and it’s fashionable if nothing else. That is likely to be sufficient for some.
Werewolf Goldfish ($5.00)
At first look, this appears to be like like one other goldfish scooping sport from the parents at SAT-BOX, and in some methods I suppose it’s. However on this sport, one of many gamers is the Werewolf Goldfish, who swims among the many common fish and must discretely go by checkpoints. The opposite gamers are the scoopers, and their aim is pull up the Werewolf Goldfish. As much as 4 folks can take part regionally or over the web, and multiplayer is certainly the best way to play this one. It’s not enjoyable in any respect by your self.
Gross sales

Not rather a lot within the inbox at this time, however I suppose that’s the way it goes some days. The outbox is equally a bit on the quiet aspect. There’s actually nothing in both listing that I’d take up arms for, however you may have a look by your self to see if we want to enroll in a blood feud.
