The feeling of déjà vu is not an uncommon one to experience when playing a game, particularly with indies, which have often drawn their inspiration from more successful and well-established franchises to create their own take on the formula. It’s not inherently a bad thing, but it was a feeling that I often had whilst I was playing Bloomtown: A Different Story. Despite a few questionable deviations here and there, it delivers an experience that at least matches its inspirations for enthusiasm and spirit, if not entirely in terms of satisfaction and enjoyment.
Vampire Hunters has been announced for Switch, and the game is only a month away. Gamecraft Studios is bringing the title to Switch on October 30, 2024.
Vampire Hunters is a roguelike first-person shooter with a retro style. Inspired by Vampire Survivors, the game involves stacking weapons to make crazy builds and taking down enemies.
We’ve got further details in the following overview:
Neon Blood not only received its release date today, but we also have news about a physical version.
Neon Blood arrives for Switch on November 26, 2024. On the same day, fans will be able to pick up the game at retail (at least in Europe, those in other regions can import). The physical limited edition includes a copy of the game, a metallic textured sleeve, art book, city guide, and downloadable soundtrack.
September 20: Microids is readying a demo for The Smurfs: Dreams, the company has announced. Those on Switch can download it starting on September 30, 2024.
The demo includes two levels from different worlds, each featuring a different Smurf (and therefore different gameplay styles). Co-op will be supported.
It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. This week, Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is still on top and The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 1st appears for the first time.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between September 11 and September 17.
Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet are planning yet another Tera Raid Battle event, and this time, players will be able to take on Infernape.
Infernape will appear in 7 Star Raids, which is what we typically see. The creature comes with the Rock Tera Type and the Mightiest Mark. You’ll be able to catch it just once per save file.
