We enjoyed Fairy Tail: Dungeons when the roguelike launched on the PC in 2024, but somehow the deckbuilder game is even better on the Switch in 2026. Part of this is a universal thing. Ginolabo kept working on the manga and anime-inspired adventure. The new update is massive, free, and everywhere. But the console accessibility combined with Switch 2 compatibility somehow helps make it even more appealing.  As a refresher, Fairy Tail: Dungeons features an original story. Gates to an underground labyrinth are appearing below guild halls, with people falling into them and disappearing. In the case of Fairy Tail,…

The Voltage and AmuLit otome games turned out to be really something so far. Each one of them feels like it prioritizes a strong visual novel system  with fascinating characters, and in some cases even other gameplay mechanics. Romance? That’s there too! It matters, but the structure is such that the narrative seems to be the priority. That held true for the otome adventures Even if Tempest and Red Bell’s Lament, and it is for the newest game Neon Clash: Echoes of the Lost.  While Neon Clash tells an original story in a futuristic setting with individuals with supernatural abilities,…

 Dramatic Create Switch otome games have… something of a reputation, with titles such as The Crimson Flower that Divides: Lunar Couplingand Of the Red, the Right, and the Ayakashi featuring interesting stories and poor localizations. However, it seems like it and HuneX broke the cycle with La Storia Della Arcana Famiglia Rinato, an updated version of an otome game that first appeared on the PSP! The translation isn’t perfect, but it’s worlds better than past games. Which is great, as this is a really dynamic and unique visual novel that deserves people’s attention. The Arcana Famiglia organization defends and protects…
