Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for March 20th, 2023. It’s a lighter bite today and that’s on me for not having any reviews ready to go. I got distracted by other things, so here we are. There are a handful of new releases to check out, plus some pretty decent new sales to ponder. Throw in the expiring sales for the day, and that’s pretty much it. Let’s get to it!
Twenty bucks, eh? So, this is the Ultimate Edition of Kung Fury: Street Rage, which was an amusing but very limited homage to One Finger Death Punch. This version of the game offers everything the original did, up to and including a playable David Hasselhoff. It adds new characters and more story content and retains the easy-to-understand two-button combat system and hard 1980s aesthetics. I wasn’t super-impressed with the original game at a much lower price, so we’ll have to see how this one hits me.
This is the seventh game in this series, so you probably don’t need me to say much here. Which is good, because I don’t really have much to say. The gameplay hasn’t changed in any meaningful way, so you just get another story to enjoy as you play through a new set of stages. This kind of light strategy game has its fans, and I’m sure they’ll have fun with this one too.
It’s one of those games like Monster Strike where you’re basically shooting your thing into other things to take them out. You can play alone, pull in a friend for local multiplayer, or hop online and enjoy some four-player multiplayer action. Each of the beasts you choose from has their own abilities and traits, and you can unlock extra skins for them to customize things a bit. I’ll have a review of this one soon to let you know what I think of it.
A fairly simple ball sport game with a fantasy theme for up to four players via local multiplayer. There are four different characters to choose from, a variety of modes to try, and ten different maps to play on. I don’t think it’s going to win any awards or anything, but for three bucks you might get some laughs out of it with a friend or two.
(North American eShop, US Prices)
Some nifty stuff in the new sales list today, mostly thanks to NIS America and City Connection running sales. Note the discount on the R-Type Final 2 DLC, as it’s a new low for that pack. I will also ardently recommend Cleopatra Fortune, which is one of the more compelling falling block puzzle games you’ve likely never played. Over in the outbox, it’s your last chance at the latest sale on Dead Cells. Grab it and the Castlevania DLC and have yourself a real good time.
