Card-en-Ciel review

System: Switch
Release date: October 24, 2024
Developer: Inti Creates
Publisher: Inti Creates


If there’s one thing I don’t think we get enough of these days, it’s video game crossovers and character cameos. There’s something delightful in watching characters from different series interact with one another in “what if” scenarios. Despite being a deckbuilder, which is a far cry from the 2D action games they are better known for, Card-en-Ciel feels like a love letter to Inti Creates’ catalog of releases up to this point, and it delivers a surprisingly deep combat system that somehow manages to stay fresh despite the repetition and roguelike trappings that occasionally throw off the pacing.

Super Mario Party Jamboree sales UK

The latest UK software sales chart has been released for the week ending October 19, 2024, revealing a strong debut for Super Mario Party Jamboree.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership appears to have been developed with Unreal Engine. That’s based on a photo taken of the back of the boxart, which spread on social media recently.
