Topic: 3DS eShop Recommendations thread

@Retro I can't really speak for anyone else, but it seems very story based and quirky. I adore the 70's Japan setting, as well as the keen detail put into the backgrounds and monster designs. It's just the one game of the set which I have the highest expectations for.

Did anyone buy and enjoy witch and hero, I took a look at it and it looks like it is fun.

Can anyone tell me what

Liberation Maiden and Crimson Shroud are about and generally how long the game takes to complete.
I want to get these games while they are still on sale.

@CrimsonFire Liberation Maiden's a shooter with mechanics similar to Kid Icarus Uprising, where you use the stylus to target and shoot things. There are five 10-20 minute long missions and three difficulty levels, so you'll be finished with it in 2 hours. The game is quite intense though; it doesn't pad out the experience at all.

Crimson Shroud is a fantasy visual novel with a really cool RPG style battle system. The story is a little hard to get around unless you like reading, but it's certainly very unique and creative. It'll take you around 6 hours to complete depending on how good you are with the battle system, and an extra 6 to go through New Game + and unlock the second ending.

My recommendation: Get both! Especially with the discount!

Pretty much this, although I think it's also important to note the 30 achievements you can unlock in Liberation Maiden, which can give it some real legs (and since they unlock artwork, character bios, ect., it makes you want to earn them).

You know what, I will definitely get Liberation Maiden and will think about Crimson Shroud(It even has Crimson part of my username).

Thanks Sir Karp and Mr. RR529

I just got Aero Porter just for the sake of completing the Guild 01 titles after days of uncertainty and I have to say, it really has to be one of the most frustratingly rewarding experiences I played. The game has a simple concept with simple commands, but things will get way off hand once the baggages pile up. My heart was racing throughout my play session and it really felt good to pull off some combos. It really could have been the perfect pick up and play title if it weren't for the fact that you can go back to previous and easier levels. Still for a $3 sale, the game is well worth it if you are in the mood for a masochistic management simulator.

I also recommend getting the other two Guild 01 games, especially at their discounted price. I heard that you get additional content from the upcoming Guild 02 games if you have purchased the previous entries.

So I am going to put $20 on the 3DS eShop and I was going to get Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, Crimson Shroud, and Liberation Maiden. That leaves me with $4. Any one have a suggestion?

I was thinking Aero Porter but don't know if it is worth it

Man, you're getting some quality stuff there!

I haven't played Aero Porter, so I can't vouch for it, but I'd recommend Gunman Clive ($2) & the Sword of Hope II ($2).

I already have Gunman Clive but I am not sure if I would enjoy Sword of Hope, It looks a lot like older RPGs right after they stopped doing text commands.

Well, do you want a Management sim that asks a lot from you and gets harder and more complicated as you progress? The thing is, you will both love and hate this game for its heart wrenching difficulty. This game won't go easy on you and expect to fail loading a good amount of luggage but finishing a day feels very rewarding and the game is quite engaging even if it's sadistic in nature. You could very well get it while it's on sale, for $3 you're not risking much.

Oh yeah, there's a streetpass function and a hub to dress up your plane, but I haven't got there yet since I basically suck in this game.

I recommend you to get Super Mario Land 2 or Shinobi if you want other options.

Since you already have Gunman Clive, and aren't sure if you'd like the Sword of Hope II, some other recommendations would be Shinobi ($4), or Metroid II: the Return of Samus ($4 or $3. It's been awhile, lol).

Still, if you're a fan of RPG's at all, I'd do a little more research on the Sword of Hope II. It is old school in design, but it's also pretty forgiving (NL's review explains well).

Shantae, Pushmo, Gunman Clive, and Order Up! have been my favorites so far.

@DefHalan Save those 4$ for the next weeks. Something will come out.

I can really really recommend Resident Evil; The Mercenaries 3D for the tiny price of £8.99! It is amazing and a great bargain!
Heroes of Ruin was quite enjoyable too, about an 8/10 from me.
And finally Gunman Clive is great for anyone who likes megaman-ish kind of games

Is Fluidity worth it? I have the first but haven't finished it. Does it introduce anything new or is it more of the same?

I know this a VERY broad question, but I have £9.68 after I had to put on £10 for Color Commando. Any ideas other than Fire Emblem DLC?

Liberation Maiden, Crashmo, Crimson Shroud, Gunman Clive, Pushmo, ATV Wild Ride 3D, Mutant Mudds, Mighty Switch Force! just to name a few.

I boughy Color Commando too! Jaja And already finished it. It took only 50 min although I have to replay a couple of stages to unlock two more.

About the games. Mighty Switch Force! is a great puzzle platformer. Crimson Shroud is a delightful old school rpg, Fallblox and Pullblox are fantastic and infinite puzzles and Gunman Clive is a great little platformer which you shouldn't miss being just 2€ (I don't know how much is it in £). Art of Balance would be a good choice too.

What games do you have (including DSiWare)? What genres do you love/hate?
