As Revenant Saga is due out soon it only makes sense that we would get a good amount of gameplay from the Switch version to show off the game in action on the system. 100 Hour Reviews put out 40 minutes of initial gameplay, check it out below.
The isometric adventure game will be hitting the European eShop on November 16th for £29.99 and will need 3.1 GB for your Switch, the game’s date for overseas is still not finalized at this point it seems. Here is a quick synopsis of the upcoming game from GoNintendo:
“As a contemporary take on the long-lost isometric platform genre, Lumo can be enjoyed by anyone looking for an absorbing, challenging and rewarding adventure. But for those who lived through the golden age of videogames – the 80s and early 90s – or know about the games and culture from that time, layer upon layer of nods, winks and touches to those times help build upon an experience that’s as heart-warming as it is exciting!”

Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth makes its numbered return since Legends of the Titan released back in 2013 for North American 3DS owners and brings with it a fresh new outlook while retaining the series’ staple of creating your own characters and telling yet another story of Yggdrasil, for better or for worse. While I’m a firm believer that Etrian Odyssey is one of the best dungeon RPGs around, if not the one currently leading the pack, Etrian Odyssey V also reminds me that while the classic mode is perfectly fine, the lack of any significant story makes for an overall grindy and unrewarding experience that doesn’t have exciting enough gameplay to make up for it.

Everything we’ve heard about Pokemon GO over the past few days has pointed to the game receiving some of the first Gen III Pokemon during Halloween. The Apple Watch App Store further hints at this. An ad on the store shows Pokemon including Sableye and Duskull.
Also, it looks like a new hat could be introduced for the Halloween event. We’re able to see what looks like Pikachu wearing a witch’s hat.
