Topic: 3DS eShop Recommendations thread

So I'm considering getting a game at the Eshop and here's what I've narrowed it down to.

Liberation Maiden
Sakura Samurai
Pokemon Dream Radar
Crimson Shroud
Art of Balance Touch

Which of these 5 should I go with?

1. One of the games I only tried rather then purchase. It was decent but the controls felt strange (likely something you'll just get used to like other DS shooters) and from what I hear it's very short.
2. I would recommend this when it's on sale. Hard to do so at regular price. It's fun but repetitive, oftentimes ugly (especially character models) and overall just seems to lack something
3. This is just Face Raiders with abilities to help you out in Pkmn B/W2.
4. Again, haven't played, but it won the forums award for best eShop game.
5. I loved this game. It was totally addicting with relaxing music and sleek graphics, and it lasted me quite a while with a decent-sized campaign and then Endurance mode/Achievements.

Now I'm stealing from RR259

1. Art of Balance: Touch
2. Sakura Samurai

Don't own, based on reviews, friends opinions and quick tries

1. Crimson Shroud
2. Liberation Maiden
3. Get the hell out of here with the dream radar bullcorn burnt whatever I can buy a lunch for $3 first

1. Great game! It has awesome style, the shooting action is very crazy (in a good way), and the theme song is very catchy. It's a bit short (only 5 levels), but it's designed for high score chasing, & has 30 achievements to unlock.

2. I found it to be very fun. It has a charm about it, IMO. The main game will only last you a few hours at most, but it also has 30, 50, & 100 enemy "thug challenges", it has a new game+, and you can dedicate steps to bring your zen garden to life.

3. Pretty much a side app to B2/W2.

4. It's a great game (my personal favorite eShop title). It has an engaging story, it has a charm (it literally plays like an old fasioned table top RPG), has an in depth battle system, and has a new game +. It has turn based battles.

5. I'm not much of a puzzle guy, but I'll admit that this is one well made game. Great graphics, keeps it's formula constantly fresh, and has a great amount of content.

Crimson Shroud (highest priority)
Liberation Maiden l
Sakura Samurai l
Art of Balance l
Pokémon DR (Least priority)

Definitely Crimson Shroud... that's the only one on the list that's an absolute must own.
Liberation Maiden, Sakura Samurai and Art of Balance are all alright, but none of them outstanding.
Pokemon Dream Radar is completely terrible as far as being a game goes... it's only real purpose is for Pokemon owners to get a few free Pokemon and items.

I haven't played Liberation Maiden nor Dream Radar but from what I've heard, they both are too short.

Crimson Shroud it's a great game if you like turn-based rpg's. Plus, you'll have to play it twice to see the true ending which makes quite long for a dlc. It took me 20+ hours.

Art of Balance is a good game and if you like you can spend a lot of time with the secondary modes. The problem for me is that it has some almost impossible puzzles because of strange physics.

Art of the Sword is not bad but is certainly not what I expected. Of these three should be the last to get.

So to sum up what I've been told and from my own research.

Liberation Maiden: Good but short. I am interested in it enough though to consider it at a later date
PDR: Complete crap, play face raider instead.
SS:AotS: Sounds like people found it to be underwheming, so i'll give it a pass.
Art of Balance: I did play the demo before posting, If I didn't like what I heard about the other 4 then this is the one I would have bought, sounds like the puzzles and replay value justify the price.
Crimson Shroud: I like turn based RPG's and it does seem interesting. Plus I've been meaning to try a Level 5 game at some point.

So I'm narrowing it down to Crimson Shourd and AoB Touch. Which one should I go with?

I'd say if you want something relaxing and fairly "quick play", go with AoB Touch. I played it for about 10 hours and completed everything. If you want a really deep RPG experience, go with Crimson Shroud. As I see it, you can't go wrong with either one.

If you have $17, by all means go with both.

Other then that, just choose based on genre.

Order up..

worth the 5? how long is it for those who played it

Totally worth it. Best cooking sim ever made.

The campaign is only 5 hours or so though.

I think Crimson Shroud is a better game. I'd go for it first.
By the way, it was not developed by level-5, they edited and published.

Now that i bought a $20 card last week i need recommendations on what to buy.
I have

Mighty Switch Force
Bomb Monkey
Pushmo
3D Classics Kid Icarus

I have thinking about, Crashmo,HarmoKnight, Dillion either one of the 2. So what can you reccomend for me

Out of those I only have Crashmo but it is amazing

@CrimsonFire13 - I can't really say whether or not you should get it asap, but considering that TLR only adds more things to do on top of everything in the original one, it'd be better to start with DRW first.

EscapeVektor is on sale for $4.99 and it seems as though no one is playing it. I think it's pretty fun though.

If you enjoyed Pushmo, Crashmo is a must. If you like 2D platformers VVVVVV is great but short and a bit pricey.
If you like rpgs you shouldn't miss Crimson Shroud. It is a great and unique game.

EscapeVektor is one of the best games on the eshop. Totally worth the money, especially at this reduced price.

I don't have escapevecktor but im not sure if I really want it or not.

@undead_terror
I'm loving EscapeVektor, great artsyle, great music and really good for some quick gaming on the go. Really worth it!

I noticed Attack of the Friday Monsters is the most liked of the new Guild 02 titles. Why is that? I haven't even seen any gameplay.
