Fragrant Story & Papaya's Path Highlight Today's App Store Releases

Hello, gaming enthusiasts! Welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for August 26th, 2024. Today's update is a bit lighter than usual; my schedule is packed with other projects, so reviews are on hold for now. However, we'll cover some new releases and the week's sales. At least one new game looks promising, and the sales are pretty decent too. Reviews will hopefully resume tomorrow. Let's dive in!

New Game Releases

Fragrant Story and Papaya's Path ($7.99)

Fragrant Story, a late Nintendo 3DS title, has a bit of a checkered past. Initially released as a short, unfinished experience, it's since been significantly updated. This version offers a full, ten-hour-plus tactical RPG experience, making it a solid eight-dollar purchase for fans of the genre. Forget the early negative reviews; this is the complete package.

Quack Jump ($3.99)

A straightforward platformer with 40 levels and evolving mechanics to keep things interesting. At four dollars, it's a fun, budget-friendly option.

Underground Station ($7.90)

An idle game where you work in a dungeon to pay off debts. It may not be visually stunning, but it offers a different kind of gameplay experience.

Sales

(North American eShop, US Prices)

Let's take a look at the current sales. Limited Run Games has another sale, offering some unique titles. Several TROOOZE games are discounted (only a few are listed here), along with some Team 17 titles. Note that the sale on the Front Mission remakes is ending soon – a rare opportunity to add these to your collection.
