This week’s eShop round-up is running behind as we believed last night’s mammoth Nintendo Direct may have seen a surprise release or two. While we didn’t see anything major, there was a small something – cult retro RPGs EarthBound Beginnings and EarthBound are out now as part of the Switch Online library. If you’re new to these, be sure to grab the official player’s guide (available as a free PDF) too.
While on the topic of RPGs, there’s a handful out this week. On the more traditional side of things, there’s the top-down pixel art pairing of Sword of Elpisia and Ocean Heart.
They’re joined by a conversion of the mobile RPG EGGLIA Rebirth, and Idea Factory’s Death end re;Quest 2 – a bleak affair that hit the PlayStation 4 in 2020 to mostly positive reviews.
EGGLIA Rebirth seems to be going down rather well, able to disguise its mobile roots. “Egglia Rebirth is a really fun game. It feels more like an indie JRPG than it does a mobile tile, which works in the Switch version’s favor. Players who spend a lot of time with it will potentially feel rewarded by its systems,†said Siliconera.
Square-Enix has also brought most of their Kingdom Hearts back catalogue to Switch. While it’s great to see the series on the platform, the fact that they’re full-price cloud versions is off-putting. The Switch could have easily handled native ports of the earlier games, so it does smack of laziness.
OlliOlli World is one of the bigger releases of the week, arriving to critical acclaim. The Switch version is yet to receive a score lower than 8/10, in fact.
“Rarely has skateboarding in a game felt so creative and accessible as it does in OlliOlli World. It’s very much more of the grind-based platforming that long-time fans will know, just with even more tricks and challenges primed to keep you coming back for more,†said Switch Player.
Konami’s lavish-looking GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon, meanwhile, is based on a 1987 Famicom game, offering rogue-lite hack-and-slash action told via traditional Japanese art. The PC version has been in early access since May 2021, garnering ‘very positive’ user reviews.
Then there’s Grapple Dog, which looks like the greatest GBA game that never was. The game’s title gives away its main mechanic – Pablo the dog can grabble onto platforms to swing around the colourful stages.
“At its best, Grapple Dog’s action is a joy to behold. There’s a blend of speed and precision that Grapple Dog requires that makes nailing the various challenges and obstacles that stand in your way, zooming across chasms at high speed. The ability set that the grapple provides also enhances what could have normally been some fairly rote boss fights into more thrilling affairs. Turns out defying gravity with a huge chain hook is pretty sweet,†said Cultured Vultures.
We were hoping to review the pixel art dungeon crawler Heroes of Loot 2, but our reviewer (Zayne) has stumbled on a glitch that resets progress. Hopefully a future patch will rectify things. Stay tuned.
Then there’s Ziggurat 2, which appears to be a huge leap over the already brilliant original. This hectic roguelite FPS bears similarities with the retro classic Hexen, and pleasingly, it doesn’t take itself too seriously.
If Ziggurat 2 floats your boat, then you’ll likely be into PowerSlave Exhumed too. This remaster combines content from the PSone and Saturn versions while adding new flourishes. Why, it’s filled with eastern promise.
Retro diehards may also be interested in Atari’s well-received Breakout: Recharged, PC Engine package Valis: The Fantasm Soldier Collection, the well-timed sports sim Retro Bowl – which Nintendo Life loved – and the ‘90s era-inspired Action Arcade Wrestling.
Other new releases to mull over include acclaimed island-set adventure Welcome to Elk, Task Force Kampas spin-off El Gancho, polished-looking friendship puzzle-platformer Derpy Conga, and the noir adventure Backbone. Take a look at the full list below.
