Cellar Door Games has announced that both Rogue Legacy and Full Metal Furies are getting Switch ports. Both games will release on Nintendo’s console on November 6.

Both of Cellar Door Games’ titles are very difficult, but not unfair for players with the right amount of patience. Rogue Legacy is a single-player roguelike that first released in 2013 to critical acclaim. Despite being a multiplayer co-op game, Full Metal Furies is no less challenging, and the 2018 game features a meta narrative that is reminiscent of what’s found in games like Doki Doki Literature Club and Nier: Automata.

In our Rogue Legacy review, Britton Peele gave the game an 8/10, writing, “It’s almost unfair to compare Rogue Legacy to other games that emphasize permanent death. It doesn’t have the secrets of Spelunky and it’s more predictable than The Binding of Isaac, yet at the end of every game comes a desire to hop right back in, spend your gold on some upgrades and rack up more monster kills, something the game encourages with a challenging new-game-plus option that appears after the credits roll. Whether you play it on your home console or on the go, it’s worth exploring Rogue Legacy’s castle again and again and again.”

Full Metal Furies is a four-person co-op game that presents itself as a simple arcade title, but hides a difficult puzzle mechanic. You and up to three friends play as four girls who are on a mission to destroy the massive Titans that have taken over their world. Each girl has unique attacks and abilities, allowing them to take on the roles of a tank, brawler, short-range support, and long-range support. Teamwork is key if you want to discover the game’s secrets and hidden ending. Full Metal Furies’ story is heart-warming, with both humorous banter and eye-rolling puns.

Rogue Legacy is already available on Xbox One, PS4, PS3, PS Vita, and PC. Full Metal Furies is currently available on Xbox One and PC.

The Microsoft Store has kicked off this week’s sale on Xbox One and Xbox 360 games. And in the spirit of the impending holiday, lots of the discounts are on games that are spooky, dark, or outright horror-themed. Let’s dive in and see what kind of deals are available between now and October 29.

Starting with games that are only slightly spooky, you can pick up the excellent Metroid-like platformer Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition for $11. It won’t give you nightmares, but the bug world it’s set in is bleak enough for Halloween. Similarly, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, which draws more than a little inspiration from Castlevania 3, is on sale for $12.

Moving on up the scare chart, we come to Prey ($15), a game that’s set on a space station teeming with aliens that can make themselves look like inanimate objects–meaning they could be anywhere. Alien: Isolation – The Collection, which hardly lets you feel comfortable at all, is on sale for $12. For $20 you can pick up Resident Evil 7, a game that’s both over-the-top and highly effective in its scares.

If you’re not looking for scares, you have other options as well. Perhaps you’re curious about Fortnite’s PvE Save the World mode and don’t want to wait for it to go free-to-play next year. If so, you can grab Fortnite – Standard Founder’s Pack on sale for $20, down from $40. While the gaming world is abuzz with the Fallout 76 beta, you can pick up Fallout 4 for $15. Or, if you’d rather sail through an open world and plunder treasure, you can grab Sea of Thieves for $39.

You’ll find more of our picks below, or you can check out the full sale here.

About the game:

Castlevania Requiem: Symphony of the Night and Rondo of Blood is a bundle of the classic titles, but re-formatted to feature modern game elements. Experience two of the greatest games from the Castlevania series as you make your way to the top of Dracula’s castle as Richter Belmont – descendant of the famed clan of vampire hunters – in Rondo of Blood, or take the leading role as Dracula’s son Alucard in Symphony of the Night. Enjoy the unique world, the epic classical music, and the side-scrolling action in Castlevania Requiem: Symphony of the Night and Rondo of Blood, exclusively for the PlayStation4.

Fun facts about Symphony of the Night:

• The Jewel Knuckles are a powerful and quick weapon you can normally get in the Outer Wall once Alucard gains Form of Mist, however, you can get it as well as the Mirror Cuirass early. Once you enter the Outer Wall, go down and to the left to fight an Armor Lord. In the room he’s guarding, destroy the wall for some food and hold down for about 20 seconds to be transported to the room with the items.
• After completing the game, a few New Game bonuses will be unlocked if you enter the name RICHTER, AXEARMOR or X-X!V’’Q before starting a new game.

Fun facts about Rondo of Blood:

• After defeating a boss, don’t think you’re safe yet! Bosses have one final desperation attack that can still get you after you take out their HP meter.
