"Sofiya and the Ancient Clan" was originally "Sexcraft – Sofiya and the Lewd Clan."
Well, at least finding out it was toned down was as easy as reading the original name lol I looked it up and it looks fun just based on the screenshots (simple, retro sidescrolling action), but the reviews were not kind.
Oh man, new Golden Sun game announcement during the next Nintendo Direct! JK, but wouldn't that be awesome?
It would be terrific.
I still have my original GBA copies with all the Djinn found & transferred between the two. Too bad the third game flopped. Dark Dawn was a nice follow up & ended on a big cliffhanger. I might replay these on my Miyoo Mini+
Why would anyone do that?So now you are going to have to take your switch out into the sunlight?
Wrong game? Boktai was the game that needed sunlight.So now you are going to have to take your switch out into the sunlight?
Well there's proof that I didn't play it. Did they come out around the same time? For some reason my brain Associated golden sun with taking the game outside in the sun.
I used to mix up Golden Sun and Boktai all the time when I was younger, since it just made sense to me that the game called Golden Sun was the one with the solar power lol
I have three of them, plus the one they're giving out on the 15th
But I'll probably get Bakery Empire (looks like cooking mama lite) and Golf Guys (speed golf you play online against others?) if they're only .49.
I'll be honest, I was tempted to grab the hole.io game -- it sounds amusing, and I know it's based on a silly online webgame.
Most of them are straight ports from Apple Arcade/Google Play mobile games. You can read reviews there. But playing them on Switch means you won't get bombarded with ads.
I picked it up 'cause 50 cents, and little puzzler games like that are usually good time wasters. You can definitely tell where it was ported from a mobile game. It's not bad, the puzzles haven't been super hard but I'm not quite 20 levels into it. Some have been really easy, some have taken a few retries because of your limited jumps and misjudging stuff like the moving blocks. 150 levels total on the 50 cent version and then the dlc is $2 for I think 100 more levels, so cheaper to get both together than the 'deluxe' version.
ing marlins). Then add challengers at the restaurant but you have ‘cooking mama’ type gameplay for that. Okay, puzzles to keep progressing In the main story. But then a weird portion where you have to control 2 people at once. This is also when the boss battles seem to add a new mechanic with each new one.
OMG I came on here just to post the same thing! I started Dave the Diver a few days ago and loved it at first. I was all about collecting fish, running the restaurant, and meeting all the crazy customers (though a lot of the NPCs are complete dicks for no reason). But, alarm bells started going off as I kept playing. Every five seconds, some new mechanic is introduced or some unskippable minigame is thrown at me. Some stuff makes sense (growing fish and vegetables), some stuff can be mostly ignored (taking pictures and collecting cards), and some stuff is really annoying (portions you play as different characters, being forced to waste days for no reason). Basically, the game was rapidly shifting from fishing/restaurant sim to fishing/restaurant/farming/minigames/survival/puzzler/collectathon/anything else we can think of sim.Has anyone else played Dave the Diver? It started off simple enough. Dive to collect fish and do a ‘diner dash’ type gameplay at you restaurant at night. But it keeps adding way too many different things, like it has an identity crisis. Add a veggie and fish farm to manage to get supplies for your restaurant. Take photos. Then ‘special’ nights to collect specific types of fish for the restaurant, but some are a challenge to collect (
At this point I am not enjoying it anymore but just want to finish the main story.
ing sharks are tail-swiping me and taking out half my oxygen. Hell, even little fish destroy you, like the schools of the tiny red guys that swarm you like angry piranhas. And, the penalty for death is way too high. You could spend a half an hour gathering materials and, on your way back to the surface, you get completely boxed in by a ing lionfish or something and you die. Upon death, you can keep only ONE item, losing the rest and wasting your time down there. What the is this, Dark Souls? Hell, at least those games give you the chance to pick your stuff up when you respawn. Like, ing relax, you're supposed to be a chill game.Lol, I am glad someone else feels the same way. Because I was looking at reviews and I couldn’t find anyone else that brought up these issues. Everyone loved it. Did they only play for a couple hours before reviewing it?OMG I came on here just to post the same thing! I started Dave the Diver a few days ago and loved it at first.

And, don't even get me started on the Sea People. To avoid spoilers, the stuff surrounding them didn't play out at all like I thought it would, and it involves a lot of really intrusive puzzles that screech the game to a halt because you just have to get it out of the way to move the main story along (yes, the Sea People stuff is pretty much the main story of the game). It sucks and it does not feel like the game Dave the Diver was sold as. I wanted to catch fish and manage a restaurant, not be forced into a plotline I don't give a shit about. I'm definitely in the same boat about wanting to complete the main story, because I know I'm close now, but I just can't bring myself to care about it anymore.
The night fishing is very rough because everything you find down there is straight-up on crack. I get it's supposed to be a challenge, but it's really not fair that, while I swim slow as molasses, the
Boss battles often blow ass too because of the clunky controls. I mean, the controls themselves are fine, but Dave is so slow just to turn around and there's noticeable input lag when you're trying to ready your weapons. Plus, you can only shoot weapons diagonally left and right, not straight up or down, like this is some kind of shitty NES game. Compare this to something like Subnautica, where you felt like you were flying underwater with such fluid controls. And the guy you play as in that game was just some random starship engineer! Dave is supposed to be an experienced diver and he can't shoot up? And yes, I'm sure it's more complicated than that in real life, but it's a video game.
I've wanted to quit several times, but kept going because the parts of the game that work work really well. But, Dave the Diver is a game that wanted to be way too many things, thus not really excelling at any of them. Even the best parts of the game become repetitive after a while because, instead of doing things like expanding the explorable area or adding more ways to run the restaurant, the developers worked on a shitty story, nine-thousand minigames, uninspired puzzles, and a slew of frustrating boss battles that really highlight how bad the combat is. I've just reached Chapter 6 and I know I should finish it, but it just feels like work now. I'd give the game a 6 or a 7, purely on the virtue of how fun fishing and running the restaurant are. I just wanted that game. I've heard Dredge is good, so maybe I'll play that instead.
Sorry for the rant lol just been having a hard time understanding how people can call this game a masterpiece.
ing mechanic. not at this point?
Seriously, I was surprised to find only a handful of criticism for the game buried under glowing reviews reluctant to point out any problems.Lol, I am glad someone else feels the same way. Because I was looking at reviews and I couldn’t find anyone else that brought up these issues. Everyone loved it. Did they only play for a couple hours before reviewing it?
I just finished it. Only reason I was able to is because I had that Dredge DLC pop up one night and got a blue Diamond. Sold that sucker for $80k and pretty much had enough money to fully upgrade Dave. Not that it mattered too much because at that point there was a boss where you could only take 2 hits with another new
Of course the game had to add in a bullet hell section because why
Chapter 6 & 7 is just more and more bullshit mechanics. Make sure you do the side quest for the meat bun shop (think there’s 2) to unlock purchasing meat buns since some increase Dave’s speed, reduce damage taken or increase your damage.
Thanks for the advice! Yeah, I unlocked the meat bun shop and really noticed a difference in swim speed thanks to her meals.
