Last week, we missed mentioning the cleverly named Riot from Tecmo in the Archives.
This week’s standout is undoubtedly Mario and Luigi: Brothership—a fresh spin on RPG classics brought to you by the team behind Octopath Traveler 2, with contributions from some former AlphaDream developers. This game promises high-energy action and might even be the reason behind a Sony live service game shutdown. Also launching this week are the Virche: Evermore fandisc (for those into the Logan’s Run theme), a new fantasy RPG in the River City Saga, and possibly Saudi-backed Metal Slug Tactics.
Other notable releases include a seriously pricey $80 USD title, The Alchemist of Arc Magna, and the heartwarming Magical Bakery from Wholesome Direct. Don’t miss out on the visually impressive shooter Angel at Dusk. The quirky EggConsole makes its return with Xak II, another bump-and-run RPG that doesn’t require much English comprehension.
