New Releases in 2024: Week 24 (06/10~06/16)
Evenin', folks! We're in the middle of not-E3 season, which has shockingly been fairly bereft of shadowdrops. But there's still time so if nothing on this week's list catches your fancy (how dare you!), then it's possible something else will crop up between now and next Sunday.
As for what is here, this Friday sees the release of Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance - an updated version, as Atlus is wont to do, of 2021's Switch exclusive. Including a new storyline branch as well as a selection of tweaks, changes, and new Demons, Vengeance has a variety of things for folks that already played the original game to sink their teeth into.
If you don't know what a Shin Megami Tensei is, then: This is the effective parent series of Persona, amongst a slew of others. Turn-based combat that is similar enough to Persona 3/4/5 that you'll feel right at home, but Persona focuses more on characters and narrative (and the social sim aspect) whereas SMT proper is typically a bit more focused and streamlined, with basic/trope-y characters and a stronger focus on the combat and Demon mechanics (with higher difficulty to facilitate that).
If that's not quite your speed, then V Rising comes to PS5 this Tuesday. It's a stylish Action-RPG with a three-quarter overhead view; if you've played anything from Diablo to Bastion you have some semblance of an idea of what you're getting here. Plus, you play as a vampire and it has a Castlevania crossover! If you're not already sold watch the trailer and try again.
And for a bit of something different plus a nice dose of nostalgia, Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-Sparked also launches on Tuesday. This is a collection/compilation of three games in the Sparkster/Rocket Knight series: Sparkster (SNES), Rocket Knight Adventures (GEN) and Sparkster: Rocket Knight Adventures 2 (GEN). Notably, Rocket Knight (PS3/X360) is not included. Still, if some platforming is what you've got an itch for then this might be for you.
