Oh My Godheads: Party Edition

Last week, Square-Enix Collective announced the upcoming release of Oh My Godheads: Party Edition on Nintendo Switch. It will be available starting tomorrow (September 25th). It will cost 14.99€ / £11.99 / 14.99€.

Here’s a trailer and some details:

Fancy taking on your friends on that rather dodgy looking sofa-bed in your mate’s garage? Done. Want to give your gran a taste of frenzied ‘capture-the-head’ action on her 1970’s settee? You’re all set. Up for a slice of multiplayer madness with complete strangers on the bus, on a plane, in or the waiting room at your never-on-time dentist? Oh My Godheads’ brand new Party Edition on Nintendo Switch™ has you sorted.

 

For those yet to enjoy Oh My Godheads, the game’s manic multiplayer tasks players with carrying a variety of magical Godheads back to their base, closely mirroring traditional capture-the-flag style gameplay but adding a whole heap of extra delirium thrown in for good measure. As well as defending against each other’s attacks, gamers also have to take on the Godhead itself – a typically unwilling and malevolent memento not especially keen on your advances.

• Hilarious couch multiplayer for 1-4 players
• Battle computer-controlled characters in single player mode
• ‘Capture-the-head’ gameplay supercharges capture-the-flag with uniquely powered godheads
• Multiple magical godheads – explosions, control-switching and more
• Bright, colourful 3D environments in world-spanning locales
• Ridiculous cast of characters to play
• Swords, hats, monocles and airborne pastries

And here’s the list of new features included in the Party Edition:

• New content including a new tower level, new godhead, and a gallery with game art.
• New Tournament mode modality, allowing players to compete in a set number of matches with a brand new points system.
• Refined visuals, improved core player movement (allowing you to tackle your rivals and send them flying), re-balanced levels and godheads, improved UI, and AI.
• Trials mode can now either be played solo or in co-op mode.
• In addition, most trials have been redesigned adding 10 new trials.
• A brand new Platinum Medal tier for the most skilled players!
• Optimisation to take advantage of Nintendo Switch hardware.

Oh My Godheads: Party Edition (Switch – eShop) comes out on September 25th in Europe and North America. The Upcoming Games page has been updated!

Bee Simulator

Last week, Varsav Game Studios announced that the release of Bee Simulator was delayed to Spring 2019… and on only one console (it’s not even guaranteed to be the Nintendo Switch). The reason? The developers decided to expand the game based on the large amount of feedback they received following the reveal, earlier this year.

Here’s the list of things they’re adding to the Bee Simulator:

• two different gameplay modes to the game. An easy one, designed with kids in mind specifically, and a more challenging one prepared for adult gamers.
• a completely new combat system that adult gamers will enjoy.
• new opponents.
• Redesigning the “bee dance”, so it was more in line with adult gamers’ expectations.
• Allowing our bee to actually sting people. In the end you don’t always have to be a well-BEEhaved bee.
• Making bee races more complex, so they not only for children pose a challenge.
• Adding additional maps, specifically for local split-screen mode.

Bee Simulator (Switch – eShop) does not have a release date yet.
