I...didn't even know this existed.

I...didn't even know this existed.

Neither did I, but I guess as an Apple Arcade exclusive it's no real surprise. Looks pretty neat though. Would be cool to see them port it, but that all depends on how well it was praised and sold.

 

[Mr.ODST]

Artstyle and gameplay looks pretty good, didnt know the game existed atall even as an apple user lol

Had a semi heart-attack reading the first 3 words of the topic.

They’re on the fast track to bankruptcy yeah. They dealt with live services and failed projects too much.

 

[Spyxos]

Like so many here, never heard of it.

With how Bayonetta 3 turned out and Kamiya gone it won't be much of a loss. We'll, unless an Astral Chain sequel is in the works anyway.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

I dont know how profitable all their traditional action games are, but those games have the most sales and visibility. They should stick to it.

Forget about GAAS, mobile games, that low budget vertical shooter etc....

Then again, maybe their finances are bad and thy had to break out into different kinds of games(?)

Nooooo!!!

My endless struggle with this service...

Do I subscribe for a month to try out a game or two, or do I take the 50/50 chance to see if that game will make it to Steam/Switch? The alternative leads to the game being removed from service and me missing that window of time.

Bayonetta 3 turned out pretty amazing. Wherever such is shown, it essentially has the same critic and user scores as DMCV, an AAA game, a testament to its quality. Add the usual Switch scorn and a few technical issues detracting from scores but not the fun on top and it's one of the best in its genre.

And of course Platinum won't shut down just because of any lackluster game they were commissioned to do, they'll shut down if they can't keep getting more work or given the chance to keep making the great games they are known for like Bayonetta, Astral Chain, Automata and a bunch of others.​

I did know it, is inspiration from the Okami games, but it was annoying that he arrived on that platform and not on consoles.

Considering their other ventures, those game probably don't pay the bills.

They got tencent money now so I doubt it.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

For those who don't know the game;

Maybe it will get ported to Switch and/or PC as it will be a shame for the game to no longer exist.

I wish they release on ps4/ps5 or Xbox too...

And nothing of value was lost.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Just continues to prove that mobile games aren't worth any time investment if they just get pulled into the void anyway.

 

[Kaleinc]

All their games are cheap trash with QTE Spam.
