Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon update 2.0.3 Fix-travaganza

Yacht Club Games is back with a new “Fix-travaganza” update for Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon, with the game moving over to version 2.0.3.

As the name implies, a bunch of fixes have been implemented. Also, the Mole Knight B is no longer pushed by wind – which is very important.

Creature Lab

Creature Lab has been confirmed for Switch following a previous Kickstarter campaign. Image Power was looking to raise CA $10,000, and that goal was met. The success on Kickstarter means we’ll be seeing the title on Nintendo’s console.

The easiest way to describe Creature Lab is that it’s a first-person mad scientist simulator. For more details, check out the following overview:

Adore release date

The creature collecting game Adore, which was announced for Switch late last year, has been given a release date. We’ve heard from QUByte Interactive and Cadabra Games that it will launch on August 3, 2023.

The action creature game was previously revealed back in November. A release window wasn’t given as part of the initial announcement.

Locobit is developing Butto Bird for Switch, the company has revealed. The studio has not yet determined a release window at this time.

Butto Bird, an aerial battle action game, supports up to four players. A bit of additional information can be found in the following overview:

Another Crab's Treasure preview

Over the years, I’ve made a few attempts at the Soulslike genre – most notably via Bloodborne and the recent Demon’s Souls remake – but have yet to find one that I truly want to sink a lot of time into. I think it’s just a matter of preference, as I don’t have much patience for games that don’t respect the player’s time or are needlessly opaque and difficult – but at the same time, I love games with moderately challenging, strategic real-time combat. It’s why I was so curious to try out Another Crab’s Treasure at Summer Game Fest; finally, here’s a Soulslike game that seems purpose-built for relative genre newcomers like me. After going hands-on with the game, I think this could be the first Dark Souls-inspired game I actually complete.
