From here on, we will pick up individual works and masterpieces, not series works, and deliver them to you.

First up is “Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night,'' created by Takashi Igarashi, who is also known for the “Castlevania'' series.

This work is a so-called Metroidvania, filled with the fun and thrill of 2D exploration action. A vast and rewarding map to explore, a variety of actions using a variety of weapons, battles that are both challenging and exhilarating, and unexpected gimmicks will brighten up your adventure.

This sale is for the Switch version, and the sale price is 70% off at 1,800 yen. It's a good value for money and you get change for 2,000 yen, so why not take this opportunity to try it out?

■Switch “Tenho no Sakunahime” 1,980 yen (e-shop): Until May 6th
“Tenho no Sakunahime'', which was released on the same day as the PS5 console, is a unique yet approachable and attractive game with a unique action and exhilaration that makes full use of “hagoromo'', a special focus on “rice cultivation'' that is directly connected to breeding, and a unique action and exhilaration that makes full use of “hagoromo''. It is a masterpiece action RPG that was well-received for its features such as a unique cast of characters, and was very popular on social media at the time.

There are only two core staff members for this work: Ederuwaisu. The total number of people involved in the development was around 10 people, making it a typical indie game, but as of March of this year, the total number of units shipped worldwide exceeded 1.5 million. It gained as much popularity and high praise as the major titles, and became a new hope for indie production.

This work, which was loved both domestically and internationally, is now available at the affordable price of 1,980 yen on the e-shop. The discount rate is 39% off, but since the price has been revised once, it is an excellent value considering the amount of content you can enjoy.

■Switch “Alliance Alive HD Remaster” 1,381 yen (eShop): Until May 8th
“Alliance Alive” spins an epic story through intertwined group dramas, centering on nine main characters who all have different positions, races, genders, and ages.

This is an RPG originally released for the 3DS, but it has been re-released for the Switch as “Alliance Alive HD Remaster'' in high definition.

While creating an atmosphere reminiscent of the golden age of RPGs, it also features features such as “Assist” and “Guidebook” to support play, and you can fast-forward up to 4 times faster in battle. The game itself is carefully crafted and is an excellent work that anyone can play.

The visuals are generally deformed, and some people may think it's aimed at children, but the scenarios are slow and slow, creating a sense of immersion, and the characters are attractive. The battles and training, which are the core of the game, are also rewarding, and I'm impressed by the way the game continues to follow the classic RPG path. This product is on sale for 1,381 yen, 80% off.
