‘Hero Emblems 2’ Still in the Works, New Gameplay Video Released

Around this time four years ago, mobile gamers were treated to one of the best games in all the land when HeatPot Games released Hero Emblems ($2.99). For years by-the-numbers match-3 games had been flooding the market and those craving something with a bit more meat on its bones were left reminiscing about the good old days of Puzzle Quest. Well, the days of Puzzle Quest before it became multiple free to play iterations based on various IPs, I guess. Anyway, Hero Emblems was a match-3 RPG with lovable characters, a surprisingly interesting story, fantastic gameplay, and a premium price tag with no IAP. It was heaven and is still beloved to this day. It feels like forever since a sequel was announced in September of 2016, and updates on the game’s progress have been fairly infrequent. Today however HeatPot has dropped a new gameplay video and progress update in our forums, and Hero Emblems 2 is continuing to look fantastic. The video below shows off a boss battle, and then a cutscene followed by a regular battle. The text is in Chinese, but you should still get a good idea of how Hero Emblems 2 is shaping up.

Unfortunately, HeatPot doesn’t have a specific release window for Hero Emblems 2, only saying they “need some more time to complete it." In the meantime you can check out our previous coverage of the game. We went hands-on with an early build during Tokyo Game Show 2016 shortly after it was announced, and a new trailer was released towards the end of 2017 when the game was delayed into 2018. The following February another new trailer was released, which brings us to today’s update. Yes, it’s not 2018 anymore but hang in there fans, I have a feeling Hero Emblems 2 will be well worth the wait. Also, if you never jumped into the original Hero Emblems, it was updated for the iPhone X just last year and is still a total blast to play (or replay!). You can read our full review and our Game of the Week writeup on the original as we all wait anxiously for the sequel.

‘Franz’ is a Strange Mashup of Texting-Based Adventure and “Angry Tamagotchi” from the Makers of ‘Pathologic’ and ‘Knock-Knock’

That is quite a headline, but, Franz is the kind of gaming experience that can’t be easily summarized. It’s an ambitious and unique new project from developer Ice-Pick Lodge, who made their name with the open-world horror FPS Pathologic and have also dabbled in mobile with their truly weird survival horror title Knock-Knock Game , which we reviewed back in 2014 . Ice-Pick has grown to become a fan-favorite developer due to their somewhat twisted and unconventional take on developing and storytelling, and “twisted and unconventional" are two extremely apt descriptors for their upcoming title Franz . What even is Franz ? I guess if you had to summarize, Ice-Pick describes it as “a hybrid between an SMS novel and an angry version of tamagotchi" but it also seems like the type of thing that doesn’t really have anything else before it to compare to. You can watch a very cryptic teaser trailer just below followed by a fascinating behind-the-scenes video where the game’s art dire...

Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for July 31st, 2019. I managed to spend half of my birthday sick in bed, but I got a sweet birthday cake from my wife and some nice Spider-Man loot, so it’s hard to be upset. In today’s article, we’ve got a review of the recent shoot-em-up release Pawarumi , summaries of today’s trio of new releases, some tasty news bits, and a bunch of cool sales to dig into.

SwitchArcade Round-Up: ‘BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL!’, ‘Moero Chronicle Hyper’, and Other New Releases, Ridiculous Amounts of Sales, and More

Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for Monday, April 29th. You may have noticed that there was no SwitchArcade on Friday. I had a bit of a medical emergency and it just wasn’t possible to put anything together. Sorry! But I’m okay now, and as such I’ve decided to catch up on everything I missed. No news or reviews today, but watch for those to make their returns tomorrow. Let’s catch up! New Releases Panty Party ($14.99) I still can’t believe this is a real game that exists and is available on the Nintendo eShop. But here we are. Take control of one of a large variety of flying panties and use your special abilities to attack the enemy panties. That sentence describes a real video game. Given that the game is rated E10+, you probably shouldn’t expect anything too provocative here. Rather, it’s a sort of absurdity that you play just to see stupid-looking situations. And you can even play four-player split-screen, provided you can find three friends that w...
