New releases and eShop discounts (week 33)
Posted 13 Aug 2020 at 12:15 by Dennis Tummers
The heat wave continues in the UK and Europe, so the best thing to do is to stay cool, hydrated and play your Switch indoors or in the shade. There are a couple of new releases coming out this week that may help you do so.
Faeria is a deck-building strategy game, where you combine card play with a changing battlefield made out of hexagonal tiles. Take on the CPU or another player, or you can try to overtake the AI with a friend in co-op mode.
Double Kick Heroes mixes zombies, rhythm game, pixel art and heavy metal in one action-packed adventure. The game features a couple of dozen original tracks, plus a list of guest tracks from bands such as Jinjer and Gojira.
As always, you can find the full list of new releases, eShop downloads and demos below!
