5. "wild stories"

game type: strategy war chess

release date: 2024/10/22

i have been looking forward to this game coming to switch last year because it is so suitable for handheld consoles.

the game tells the story of players leading village warriors to jointly resist the invasion of evil forces.

it adopts the paper-cut style, with bright colors and exquisite movements. the battle adopts turn-based chess gameplay, and you can command the warriors to fight and upgrade.

you have to resist the monster legions that are constantly eroding the big map, choose the most urgent areas, defeat them to protect your country, and liberate the entire world step by step.

characters need to be recruited in the village. each one has his own personality and characteristics, and even a close relationship will develop in the team.

failure in battle does not make them lose, but makes them stronger. for example, an arm burned by an enemy will evolve burning magic, but lower your defense.

the fallen heroes will have their own tombstones and epics, which will always inspire the team and those who come after them.

the switch version supports local cooperation, so you can team up with friends to fight together. in handheld mode, it is very comfortable to have a battle anytime and anywhere.

6. "dragon among men: extreme"

game type: action adventure

release date: 2024/10/24

the first-generation remake of "like a dragon" tells the story of the yakuza legend kiryu kazuma who spent 10 years in a hard labor camp. after being released from prison, he faced the pursuit of his former organization, met a mysterious billionaire girl, and embarked on the road to revenge. .

the storyline of the game is very compact. kazuma kiryu encounters dangerous traps that are approaching every step of the way. unable to escape from the haze of the past, he steps forward to protect the girl haruka, and finally has a decisive battle with the mastermind behind the scenes.

it's like a wonderful and exciting movie that makes people breathless.

the gameplay is inherited from sega's classic open world game "shenmue". the movements are refreshing and fierce, and the shadow of bajiquan can be vaguely seen. you can also switch between four different fighting styles, including rogue, aggro, fiery prodigal, and dragon of dojima, to deal with various types of opponents.

the game also highlights a strong underworld style, such as down-to-earth language style, picking up items to attack enemies, and romantic places not suitable for children.

the launch of "yakuza" is a blessing for switch players, allowing us to appreciate the charm of this famous series on a handheld console.

however, nintendo seems to have said before that it refuses to allow gangster games to be launched on its own console. however, this game is said to be fun for parents and children, so it should have harmonized some inappropriate content.

comprehensive recommendation: four stars ★★★★

7. "romantic saga 2: revenge of the seven heroes"

game type: role playing

release date: 2024/10/24

this game is a remake of the 1993 sfc million-hit "romantic saga 2".

i have to say that se’s accumulation is so profound that you can find a treasure just by digging into it.

the "romantic saga" series was famous for its high degree of freedom 30 years ago. players can freely explore most areas in the game, encounter various events, and freely switch among more than 30 professions.

this work tells the story of seven heroes who saved the world and were exiled because they were feared by humans.

after several years ago, the seven heroes have returned. this time their goal is to take revenge on humans!

players play the role of the emperor of the empire. while strategically expanding their territory, they must also engage in personal adventure and training to resist the seven heroes, find companions scattered in the world, and form their own team.

you can freely choose which hero you want to challenge and which area you want to adventure in. as the battle gradually reveals the reasons for the revenge of the seven heroes, and the shocking secret behind them.

combat has been improved to a semi-real-time system, and characters can attack and cast spells at any time. of course, the system's unique design of lighting up the enemy's skills through light bulbs is still retained.

the protagonist also has a lifespan limit, and after death, his abilities can be passed on to the next generation of emperors. let future generations continue to fight heroes until death.

the war that has lasted for thousands of years has continued endlessly, and it is full of epic feeling.

se's remake this time is also very sincere. it completely uses modern technology for 3d modeling. while inheriting the original story, it also adds easy, normal and original difficulty levels to facilitate new and old players to challenge.

8. "sonic x shadow: generations reboot"

comprehensive recommendation: four stars ★★★★

9. "romance of the three kingdoms 8: remastered edition"

game type: strategy simulation

release date: 2024/10/26

many friends have a question, why should "three kingdoms 8" be remade? instead of the most popular "three kingdoms 11"?

it is probably because san8 is relatively old, and the graphics and system need to be updated. you see, the ink painting style of san11 is actually not inconsistent even now, and there are many excellent mods. there is a high possibility that remaking it will be scolded by veteran players, which is a thankless task.

another reason is probably that san8 adopts the gameplay of playing a military commander, which has relatively high scalability.

in fact, kt has also done a lot of work on the characters, adding "fate" that reflects the mutual relationship between military commanders, and "romantic" elements of personal stories, which further highlights the charm of the three kingdoms era. moreover, duyou's ability to marry and inherit "wizards" also adds to the sense of history.

in addition, the game has the largest number of 1,000 generals in the series and the largest number of 55 scenarios. and brand-new portraits and modeling of military commanders, which are also more modern in look and feel.

what everyone is more concerned about is the gameplay. the remake's system actually combines the later gameplay. each military commander has his own tactics, values, and characteristics.

the entire map has different terrains and various passes. you can build strongholds during internal affairs, such as castles, oars, and even traps, which can play different roles in battle.

before the battle, you can conduct military discussions, allocate troops, formulate policies, and set up ambushes. the coach can launch strategies that affect the overall situation, and generals with strong abilities will also launch their own skills according to the battlefield situation to gain advantages.

overall, this game can be regarded as the culmination of the series. whether you like personal clearance, domination, farming style or overlord style, you can find your own enjoyment.

comprehensive recommendation: five stars ★★★★★

10. "shadow curse: hell remastered"

game type: action pass

release date: 2024/10/31

shuangyou, a game jointly created by shinji mikami and goichi suda, has finally been remade. this game was first released in 2011.

this game tells the story of demon hunter garcia, who goes deep into hell to fight demons after his lover is kidnapped.

garcia is a combination of devil may cry + a biochemical protagonist. he is not only brutal, brutal and fearless, but also has a bit of dry humor. he uses a variety of firearms to fight, constantly headshots and disembowels demons, and displays bold melee violence, which can be called r-rated.

overall, this is a refreshing game about fighting demons, and with rock music in the background, it's pretty hellish.

the remastered version provides high-definition picture quality and adds a new game + mode, which allows you to retain your levels and equipment and challenge the game levels again. and provides four new sets of clothing to dress yourself up.

if you like refreshing action games like "devil may cry" and "hand of god", then this game can also bring you an enjoyable gaming experience.

comprehensive recommendation: five stars ★★★★★

that’s all for today. we will review more games after they are released. thank you for watching.
