A summer vacation, an isekai, and an otome sounds like the setup for a joke. It's not. It's just the tip of the anime spear.

Things we missed last week: World of Goo 2 came out at $29.99 US or equivalent, and Konami's boxing title The Final Round was the Archives release.

The top of the card seems pretty straight forward this week: the big games as featured in the last Indie World show are the double-shot of RPG that is SteamWorld Heist II (Neal's review is here) and Cat Quest III. Beyond that, though, it's anime all the way down. (Or in the case of the "hentai" puzzle game that at least cops an M rating, down into the ground.) On what grounds do we say that? Well, let's see: we have isekai (That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime: Isekai Chronicles - which is a Bandai Namco game and apparently made by the Tales team since it shares a battle system?), otome (The Villainess Is Adored By The Prince of the Neighbor Kingdom), slice of life (Natsu-Mon: 20th Century Summer Kid), classic (Fate/Stay Night Remastered, and yes Melanie is aware), and something literally called "Anime Dance-Off". I would say that QE has been successfully D'd.

If you'd like something that isn't also covered at Anime World Report, Digital Eclipse somehow got the publishing rights to Volgarr the Viking II if you remember the original from way, way back, and the retro front sees a couple of obscurities in the EggConsole (Arguice no Tsubasa) and Jaleco (Yokai Kid) lines.

Sales and Price Drops

Highlights: The "Play Together" sale lasts until August 11 and includes Nintendo Switch Sports, the first sale for Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble, a good deal on the last Mario and Sonic Olympics game because the IOC is rotten to the core, Trombone Champ, and the anti-recommendation of Everybody 1-2 Switch.
