Hello readers, welcome to the SwitchArcade recap for May 31, 2024. In today’s article we close out the month of May by looking at the final releases of the week. It’s not a whole ton, but there are some interesting ones. Most prices are also reasonable. After that, there are sales to check out. New sales, expiring sales, both get their own listings as usual. It’s a refreshing day after a busy week. Let’s go on the weekend!
Select new release
O-VOID: Console Edition ($4.99)
It’s a simple one-button platformer that some of you may remember from its mobile form. You’re in a spinning circle with platforms and other obstacles appearing in front of you, and you have to jump at the right time to survive as long as possible. You can play in 7 randomly generated levels and listen to great music. You can try it for free on your mobile device, so you may want to check out if you like it enough to buy it here.
Ruler Battle Online ($5.00)
The name does most of the work here. You’ll battle your own ruler against other rulers, and up to four players can participate online. And yes, it is. These are the same rulers you use to measure things. You can customize your ruler and increase its rank to knock other rulers off your desk. That’s strange. But five times that? With online play? Setting up with equally bored friends can be a fun thing to do.
Mesmerat ($8.90)
Do you remember the Baobabs Mausoleum adventure game? Well, this is a roguelite platformer spinoff, and if nothing else, you can certainly expect some bizarre visuals and creative humor. In fact, I think the game’s striking style is its main selling point. So if you want to travel through nightmarish and surreal landscapes, this might tickle your fancy.
Skeller Boy ($7.99)
Inspired by movies from the 70s and 80s, Skeler Boy is a horror adventure game where you have to explore a town, solve puzzles, and talk to strange characters. I feel like this setup is a bit overblown at this point, but who knows? I haven’t had a chance to try this yet, but I might dip my toe into it if I feel the urge. For those more interested in the premise, it’s at least affordable.
Korea Railroad Driving Tour LRT Busan-Gimhae ($19.99)
Here’s another Korean railway driving tour game, this time featuring a route from Busan to Gimhae. Like the last video, here you can see actual train footage playing while driving the train. It covers 21 stations and a distance of just over 22 kilometers, making it a pretty decent little trip. And if you happen to have the MasCon that Zuiki made for the Switch version: Densha de Go! In Japan, you can increase immersion by using it here. I can’t imagine the odds of that happening, but maybe?
Astor: Sword of the Monolith ($24.99)
If you need another Soulslike on Switch, here you go. The usual stories about saving the world, etc. 16 different enemies, 10 powerful bosses, 4 different weapons and numerous interesting locations make this 2-hour adventure stand out. Explore the world, increase your power, and make awesome combos using easily swappable weapons. Your secret weapon is something called Runic Power. This allows you to put a little bit of magic into your work. It seems like a pretty good game, but I think I’ll have to go deeper to say for sure.
