Bloomtown A Different Story review

System: Switch
Release date: September 24, 2024
Developer: Lazy Bear Games
Publisher: Twin Sails


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.

Bloomtown: A Different Story release date

As part of today’s Gamescom festivities, Bloomtown: A Different Story received a release date. Those looking to pick it up on Switch can do so starting September 24, 2024.

It’s been a little over a year since we originally reported on Bloomtown: A Different Story. First planned for Q2 2024, the game slipped a bit and is now dropping next month.

Here’s an official overview:

As of now the only tidbit shared is that the DLC involves players facing off in the Robot League. Further information will be provided leading up to launch.

Here’s the DLC trailer:

Bandle Tale A League of Legends Story review

System: Switch
Release date: February 21, 2024
Developer: Lazy Bear Games
Publisher: Riot Forge


In the wake of its tenth anniversary Riot Forge Games has taken League of Legends into some interesting places with a variety of single-player games giving us some alternate (and for those of us not into the MOBA, far more palatable) looks at the expansive world of Runeterra and its Champions. Partnering up with Lazy Bear Games, the studio behind the delightfully macabre Graveyard Keeper, now comes Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story, a life sim that forgoes the frenetic combat synonymous with the IP in favor of a more relaxed and cozy experience. Within the confines of the franchise it is certainly a welcome and refreshing change of pace, but when compared to its peers in the genre there are a few knots that will test your patience if you choose to attempt to untangle them.
