ARTIFACT ADVENTURE Gaiden DX

• Maker：room6
• Price (incl. tax): 1,000 yen (on sale June 6, 2019)

An 8-bit style open-world RPG in which the player's choices will drastically change the fate of the story, the protagonist sets out on a journey under the king's command to prepare for the disaster that looms three years later. In this title, players can either suddenly face the disaster three years later, or they can travel around the world, and are free to act however they choose to explore.

Players will first choose a companion to go on the adventure with them. Rex, an adventurer who knows the world, Roland, the strongest old knight, and Hershel, a rich nobleman. Each of them has their own characteristics. For example, Herschel can advance in the game with a huge amount of money. You can even buy the most powerful weapon out of the blue. However, please note that the companions you share the adventure with cannot fight. Another feature of this title is that the difficulty of the game changes depending on your initial choices.

The field map is reminiscent of retro RPGs. You are free to go wherever you want. If you find a dungeon, you can enter it, or you can ignore it and head for the city. The interesting thing about this title is that the content of the adventure changes depending on the player. Now, speaking of RPGs, let's change the game screen a little before we get to the battle.

The screen now looks like a monochrome retro video game console. In this title, you can change the color scheme of the game screen. Try playing the game with your favorite color scheme. Now let's take a look at the battle.

The battle is an action game. To attack, you can either hit the enemy with your body or attack with the skills set on the buttons. You can enjoy an exhilarating battle. The controls are easy to use, so even those who are not good at games can play. The game also supports "NINTENDO Switch Ousou Share Play," which allows you to "share" one of the Joy-Cons with your opponent, so that someone who is good at the game can support you. You can enjoy your own free adventure, so please try it out.

Soccer Club Story

• Maker：Kairosoft
• Price (tax included): 1,200 yen (May 16, 2019)
• *Trial version is also available.

A simulation game that allows you to manage your very own soccer club. The cute dot-picture characters familiar from Kairosoft's works and easy-to-play content make it enjoyable even for those who are not good at simulation games.

In managing a soccer club, the game progresses by building facilities such as training grounds and parking lots, training and acquiring players, and playing matches. The goal is to become the best club in the world. It is important to become strong and also to gain support from fans. And, of course, matches. The matches are not something you can see the results of immediately, but you can watch them.

In the game, the dot-picture characters will show you their brilliant plays. There is a first half and a second half of the game time, but it does not feel too long. The time is moderate, but you won't feel it is too long. The goal scene is also a must-see. I am not good at soccer games because they are difficult to control, but it is nice to be able to enjoy the game even if you are not good at soccer games. A demo version is also available, so feel free to try it first.

Zenon Valkyrie Plus

• Maker：Rainy Frog
• Price: (tax included): 999 yen (April 4, 2019)
• *Trial version is also available.

A roguelike action game in which a beautiful girl drawn with dots aims for the deepest part of the moon. The objective of the game is not to explore ...... because the game is set on the moon, but to stop the evil witch's plan. The stages in this game are auto-generated, so you will feel different each time you play.

This place is like a base. Everything in the game is drawn with dots. The characters were beautiful on the store page, but when they are drawn as dots, they look like this. They are very cute. Each character has its own characteristics, such as being good at treasure hunting or having high jumping ability. It depends on your mood which character you challenge the stage with!　Now, let's challenge the stage.

Use the buttons to change weapons and attack enemies, or destroy walls with bombs to capture the stage. Defeat enemies to gain experience and make your character stronger. The mini-map displayed in the upper right corner of the screen is also important. The beautiful dot pictures will catch your attention, but be careful of traps and other obstacles as you move forward. If you are interested in an action game that you can enjoy with a cute and beautiful girl, please check it out. （New Samurai)
