Pascal’s Wager: Definitive Version ($19.99)
SwitchArcade Spotlight!
It’s a story as outdated as time. Large fish from a small pond heads to the massive pond in search of higher fortunes. Will it succeed or will it notice its true measurement and be devoured? Pascal’s Wager was extraordinarily well-received on cell, the place there frankly isn’t an entire ton of motion within the Souls-like class. It discovered a colder reception on PC, the place there’s an absolute ton of competitors for this type of sport. The Swap falls someplace within the center in that regard, so will probably be fascinating to see if Pascal’s Wager could make a go of it.
Spidersaurs ($19.99)
SwitchArcade Spotlight!
WayForward’s Apple Arcade run-and-gun makes its strategy to the Swap. Play as one in all two characters who’re uniquely geared up to deal with a bunch of rampaging genetic experiments gone flawed. There’s quite a lot of the outdated Contra feeling in right here, which is maybe little shock given WayForward additionally made the fairly superior Contra 4 on Nintendo DS. The Saturday Morning Cartoon presentation performs nicely to WayForward’s strengths, and the motion is stable. That is one other sport I’ll have a evaluate prepared for quickly, so dangle tight if you’d like extra detailed ideas.

I’ve been enjoying this a bit with my household, and whereas my evaluate isn’t fairly prepared I can say that the idea works pretty nicely.
XEL ($18.99)
A science-fiction action-adventure sport, XEL sees an amnesiac named Reid who has shipwrecked on a wierd world. What’s her story? How is she linked with the world of XEL? The solutions await, however you’ll have to search out them your self. Seize your sword and defend, enterprise into dungeons filled with traps and treasures, add helpful new gadgets to your stock, and even journey by time and house. A little bit of the outdated hack-and-slash motion, a little bit of exploration, and a little bit of puzzle-solving are all rolled up on this one. I’ll have a evaluate quickly in case you want extra particulars.
Supaplex GO! ($9.99)
Oh… extra Supaplex. Effectively, okay. Sixty new ranges, this time supposed for superior gamers and with an emphasis on transferring quick. For those who can’t get sufficient of that Supaplex stuff, right here you might be.
Growbot ($19.99)
Yeah, that is good. It’s a point-and-click fashion journey sport about a little bit robotic making an attempt to save lots of its station from quickly rising crystals that threaten to destroy it. Numerous fascinating characters to fulfill, some good puzzles to resolve, and a few actually pretty artwork. It’s considerably quick and linear, so it won’t be satisfying for the extra hardcore journey sport followers, however for those who’re searching for an pleasing journey and don’t thoughts dropping twenty bucks for just a few hours of leisure, give this a glance.
Pixel Recreation Maker Sequence JETMAN ($9.99)
I’ll degree with you, buddies. I’m formatting the textual content on this text on the back-end proper now, and I’ve seen I forgot to write down an outline for this. I’m exhausted so that you’re getting this as a substitute of a correct paragraph. This sport has some good pixel artwork and the gameplay, whereas easy, appears fascinating sufficient. It’s a mixture of lane-based auto-scrolling motion and a few battles on fastened screens the place you must soar with good timing to assault foes. Effectively, let’s hope I didn’t miss some other video games.
First Time in Paris – Collector’s Version ($9.99)
There are a few new hidden object journey video games in the present day. This one is the extra colourful one, I suppose. Kate is an novice journey blogger whose first job takes her to Paris. Her and her daughter quickly get wrapped up in an try to save lots of a resort from going out of enterprise. Discover objects! Learn story bits! Play minigames! You understand how this all works by now, I’m positive.
The Legacy: The Tree of Gentle ($6.99)
One other hidden object journey on this newest installment of The Legacy. Some enterprise about an epidemic and having to seek for a remedy by fixing puzzles and enjoying minigames, as one does. Affordably priced for individuals who can’t resist this type of affair.
Ambition: A Minuet in Energy ($19.99)
For those who’ve ever needed to play as a noblewoman courting excessive society hunks on the sting of the French Revolution, your extraordinarily particular wishes have been met with this sport. Search for love, plan your schedule, and manipulate conditions as a lot or as little as you need.

A sluggish life fantasy action-RPG, which breaks from the norm for this type of factor by being a side-scroller. Plant crops! Go fishing! Construct homes and cost hire! It’s as much as you to assist restore the sunshine to the crystals scattered concerning the kingdom, restoring prosperity and happiness as you go. If nothing else, it appears to be like actually cute. I haven’t had an opportunity to play it myself and apparently I’m not alone in that, so I can’t actually say rather more about it.
Mothmen 1966 ($8.99)
This can be a narrative journey sport with an aesthetic that calls again to early computer systems. The builders are calling it Pixel Pulp, and apparently that is the primary of a deliberate line of such efforts. Learn the story, make some decisions, do some mild puzzle fixing, and that’s actually all there’s to it. The story is ready within the Nineteen Sixties and sees an eclectic group of individuals coping with the terrifying fallout of a meteor bathe. It positively has a vibe that helps it stand out from the pack.
HunterX ($14.99)
I suppose that is from the identical developer as 3000th Duel, however I may very well be flawed. It does resemble it in some methods, no less than. This can be a side-scrolling Souls-like sport with some Metroidvania parts. If that makes it sound like a ton of different video games, you wouldn’t be flawed. There’s actually nothing notably fascinating about this one, however there additionally isn’t something terribly unhealthy about it. Just a few primary ham-and-cheese motion gaming.
Arcade Archives Dragon Saber ($7.99)
For as little love as Namco’s wonderful fantasy shooter Dragon Spirit will get, its 1990 sequel Dragon Saber will get even much less. It’s a enjoyable continuation of the unique, now with two-player simultaneous help and the power to take extra hits earlier than dying. Whereas it has had just a few ports over the a long time, that is the primary time it’s been formally out there exterior of arcades within the West. For those who preferred Dragon Spirit, you’ll wish to seize this too. Hamster has finished its regular tremendous work on this one, so you should buy with no worries about how nicely it runs or something.
Operating on Magic ($4.99)
A side-scrolling auto-runner, however no less than it’s a reasonably one. You’re a mage who’s on the run from the grim reaper. The degrees are procedurally generated, however it’s certainly level-based. Play by the sport on 4 completely different issue settings, or head over to the infinite mode and go so far as you’ll be able to. Appears tremendous for a fiver.
Superola Champion Version ($4.99)
Hunh, one other auto-runner. Effectively, okay. I can’t work out if this a rerelease of the unique Superola with some additional stuff bolted onto it, or a full-on remake. Both manner, you play because the titular llama as he battles sizzling canine aliens so as to get again some stolen hamburgers. It’s level-based, with greater than seventy levels on supply. I wasn’t a lot of a fan of the unique, however for those who have been then you might wish to look deeper into this.
KURSK ($9.99)
I don’t know what precisely to name this, however it’s basically an journey sport set on the actual submarine that famously met a tragic finish. You’re a spy who’s on board to gather data, however you find yourself having a entrance row seat to the catastrophe. Critiques for this on different platforms have been… lower than optimistic, to say the least. It’s apparently quick, a little bit boring, and never very informative in any respect. I suppose you possibly can deal with it as a digital tour of kinds.
Darker Skies ($17.99)
That is, I consider, a follow-up to Gray Skies. It’s from the identical firm, has the same naming sense, and in addition takes place in a Struggle of the Worlds setting. This time it’s after the devastation, and also you management a man making an attempt to construct a Warmth Ray to take care of the remaining Martians. Gray Skies had quite a lot of points and obtained some critical criticism, so right here’s hoping this one discovered its classes and is obtained a bit higher.
Vzerthos: The Inheritor of Thunder ($4.99)
This can be a wholly unremarkable top-down motion journey sport whose foremost distinguishing level is its fairly nostalgic MIDI soundtrack. The value is low sufficient that you simply would possibly wring some leisure from it, however it’s fairly awkward to play and feels tough in quite a lot of unhealthy methods.
Common Flight Simulator ($9.99)
And right here we’re under the brown line. Pix Arts has a fully awful-looking flight “simulator” for us to “get pleasure from”. Any sport that makes me use scare quotes twice in a single sentence in all probability isn’t one thing you need to spend ten bucks on, however I’m not the oyabun of your pockets.
Pet Rock ($4.99)
Aw heck, it’s been some time, Sabec. With the phat riches from that horrible Popeye sport it made, it appears the corporate has secured the following hottest license that in the present day’s youngsters can’t get sufficient of: Pet Rock. It’s a digital pet sport of kinds, and I’ve solely received two good issues to say about. One, it’s low-cost. Two, enjoying Rock Paper Scissors with a literal rock is such a humorous gag that I can’t consider it’s intentional.
Religion & Protect:Tower Protection Area Wars Recreation 2022 ($9.99)
As regular, Midnight Works can get bent with this trash. Handheld mode solely as a result of why trouble including button controls to your cell ports? That takes up time that may very well be spent researching website positioning phrases in your Purple Monkey Dishwasher-ass sport title. Anyway, it’s a crappy tower protection sport.
Deadliest Catch – Ocean Boat Driving & Fishing 2022 Simulator ($14.99)
However Midnight Works isn’t finished shoveling manure in the present day, people. Right here’s one other port of a foul cell sport, and once more it’s handheld solely as a result of who cares? Eat the trash! Eat it! Anyway, it’s a crappy crab fishing sport.
