Re: Review: 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim - A Rich Narrative Adventure/RTS Hybrid With Outstanding Art

Zimon

Wow, this game is incredibly good! I can't put it away and when I have to I just want to jump back in. It has grabbed me HARD! Don't sleep on this one! Story and voice-acting is top-notch!

I do love VNs but not a fan of RTS.
Calling this an RTS is not really true since time pauses when you give cammands. Yes enemies and units move in real-time otherwise. Also your units turns runs on an ATB gauge like in FF7. It's more like an jrpg-rts hybrid.

Re: 10 Of The Best Nintendo Switch Soundtracks

I'd put Paradise Killer, Xenoblade 2 and DE, Scott Pilgrim, Fire Emblem Three Houses Octopath Traveler, Triangle Strategy, Phoenix Wright Trilogy and House in Fata Morgana above anything on this list.

Re: Pocky & Rocky Reshrined Available To Pre-Order Now

Zimon

First reaction: I've never heard of this game but I kind of like remakes.
Sees trailer: OMG I had a flashback to my ten year old self playing this in co-op at my friend's house! I had no idea what that game was called but it was super fun!

Re: Animal Crossing-Inspired 'Earthlock' Spin-Off Announced For Switch

Zimon

Ooh! That might actually turn out rather well! Earthlock had some beautiful artwork and music. Just not the best story and combat mechanic. And some of the UI elements clash artistically in my opinion. Not bad, just okay.
Maybe a fantasy farming sim will work better for them. I really hope so! Earthlock is a unique rpg. It's just not...what's the word? Coherent.

Re: The First Review For Triangle Strategy Is Now In

Zimon

As someone who values storytelling above all I'm very excited! Hopefully it's as well written as it seems and becomes dark and tragic with tough moral choices.
My only complaint really is the voice direction for Seronoa who sounds like a smiling plank through the whole demo.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 23rd)

Zimon

I actually started playing Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore.
So far I really like it. It reminds me A LOT of Persona 4 but revolves around the idol music industry instead of a TV world. But yeah, it's basically Persona 4 but Fire Emblem shadow characters instead of Personas.

Basically you don't need to know anything about Fire Emblem and if you want a Persona game on Switch well, apparently Atlus already made one and forgot to tell us.

Re: Can't Find Dying Light On The Switch eShop? It Might Be Because It's Currently Banned In Germany

Zimon

@Strumpan apparently a group of parents threatened legal actions back in 2013 over Senran Kagura Burst for 3DS and claimed it was child pornography. That scared Bergsala and Nintendo so they haven't dared to release a Senran game since. That's the reason according to the publisher. Nintendo did not want to upload it in the swedish eshop. I mailed and asked them because I was curious.
The irony is you can find Senran games on Playstation Store in Sweden since no one threatened them.

Re: Can't Find Dying Light On The Switch eShop? It Might Be Because It's Currently Banned In Germany

@Markiemania95 I can confirm this is still in effect on Switch. Senran Kagura games are not available in the Swedish eshop but is available in Norway and UK for instence.

The differece with Dying Light is that Nintendo Europe is located in Germany where the game is banned. I guess they can't legally accept payment for the game in that country, even if the money comes from a foreign purchase.
