Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
13AM Games, the developer behind Runbow, has unveiled its next project. Double Cross is coming to Switch this summer, the studio announced today.
Double Cross is an action-adventure game with plenty of platforming. You’ll play as Zahra, an agent of the dimension peacekeepers RIFT (otherwise known as Regulators of Interdimensional Frontiers and Technology). After RIFT is attacked, players will be involved in a new case as they travel across dimensions. The game has unlockable gear, a “Proton Slinger” mechanic that offers a diversity of movement in levels and the ability to grab and throw objects and enemies, upgradeable attacks and combos, and more.
If you’re at PAX East 2018 this week, you can try out Double Cross out for the first time. We have the first full details and trailer below.

[Review] Penny-Punching Princess
Posted on 6 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: April 3, 2018
Developer: Nippon Ichi
Publisher: NIS America
Penny-Punching Princess checks all the right boxes in things I love: it’s got arcade-inspired gameplay in which you’ll brawl your way through dungeons (or castles) in a level, a section by section format that is reminiscent of classics like Double Dragon or Streets of Rage, a simple light and heavy attack button that you can mix and match for combos, and a very straight-forward approach in how to complete each level. Racking up points and cash so you can bribe, upgrade, and loot your way to victory is also an intriguing element, and the adorable pixel art style looks nice. However, all of the enjoyment is quickly interrupted thanks to non-intuitive controls, uninspired levels, repetitive gameplay, and a story that’s so banal and aimless you’ll find yourself either falling asleep to the dialogue or skipping the text entirely.
