Whats up light readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Spherical-Up for June 14th, 2023. In right now’s article, we’ve obtained a few opinions to take a look at. Shoot-em-up Raiden III x Mikado Maniax and arcade-style motion sport Annalynn get evaluated, and I didn’t dislike both of them. Like yesterday, we’ve simply obtained one new launch to take a look at, and we are going to certainly have a look at it. In contrast to yesterday, we don’t have that many gross sales to cope with. However we’ve obtained the brand new and expiring lists as traditional so that you can take pleasure in. Let’s get to it!
Evaluations & Mini-Views
Raiden III x Mikado Maniax ($29.99)
Raiden III was the primary sport within the Raiden collection developed by the oldsters at MOSS, a crew shaped by a number of the individuals who had labored on the Raiden video games at Seibu Kaihatsu earlier than it bumped into monetary hassle. By the point of its launch in 2005, Raiden III had the job of reviving a collection that had been dormant for a number of years and hadn’t seen a mainline entry in over a decade. And it had been a fairly large decade for the style, with the early Toaplan video games that impressed Raiden having absolutely given approach to the spicy new bullet hell style that got here to dominate the scene. Raiden III had quite a bit to lose if it made an enormous swing and missed, and as such it’s maybe comprehensible that it determined to play it comparatively protected.
What we ended up with was a wonderfully agreeable shoot-em-up. Some new weapons, some new scoring programs to enchantment to gamers who have been used to extra complicated video games, and a smaller hit field on the ship to match the up to date type. There are seven phases in all, and it’s simply… high quality. You gained’t have a nasty time taking part in by it, however little of it’s sure to stay with you. For this new launch, MOSS has accomplished its finest to spice issues up. Along with the usual sport, you possibly can play a rating assault and boss rush, and the sport has full assist for on-line leaderboards so you possibly can compete with different gamers. There are new unlockable photos, tunes, and wallpapers, and a small however well-considered set of choices to tweak. It helps, however there’s solely a lot you are able to do with a middling base.
Whereas I really feel like all of MOSS’s Raiden video games fall alongside an analogous line of high quality, the fourth and fifth video games definitely really feel like they take extra dangers and aren’t afraid to be their very own issues. Raiden III for higher or worse is a sport that feels so busy attempting to not mess up that it forgot to do something fascinating. This new launch provides in some cool options and extras to make it price hopping within the Combating Thunder another time, even when all however probably the most ardent of Raiden followers can be higher off selecting up one of many later entries within the collection.
SwitchArcade Rating: 3.5/5
Annalynn ($4.99)
One other actual charmer of an arcade throwback, and I’m beginning to really feel like this form of sport is having fun with an actual renaissance proper now. Annalynn sees you taking part in because the titular character as she scoops up dots in small, side-scrolling phases. An assortment of sneaky snakes are on her tail, however she will be able to flip the tables on them by selecting up a crimson gem and taking her boot to their butts. Seize all of the dots and also you’re on to the subsequent stage. Perhaps choose up some bonus gadgets when you’re at it. If it seems like Pac-Man, that’s just about the concept. You realize, besides that it’s a side-view sport. Oh, and whereas the degrees do scroll, they’re not super-big. A couple of screens lengthy at most. They’re additionally filled with varied platforms, climby bits, and different gimmicks that make every of the sixteen phases really feel distinct.
If you happen to take pleasure in basic arcade video games or trendy video games impressed by them, you’ll seemingly take pleasure in Annalynn. It has a fantastic presentation, enjoyable gameplay, and a enough quantity of depth to its scoring system to present it plenty of replay worth. The shortage of on-line leaderboards makes it laborious to get absolutely into competing, and it’s a characteristic I hope is perhaps added afterward. For now, that is good, quick enjoyable that followers of comparable odes to the arcade like Donut Dodo and Galacticon will drastically respect.

Courageous Soldier – Invasion of Cyborgs ($4.99)
Sure, the only real launch of the day seems to be this five-dollar Change platformer. Nicely, to be correctly correct, it’s a five-dollar Change run-and-gun motion sport. You’ll be able to in all probability guess the arcade basic it says it’s impressed by. You get thirty phases, plenty of gun power-ups to gather, and quite a lot of locales to go to.
