Sunderfolk joins this week’s eShop roundup

This week’s eShop roundup includes the co-op stylings of Sunderfolk, which brings four local players together using mobile devices as a controller. Put your tactical RPG skills to the test with this dynamic adventure where even the classes have been reimagined. You’ll find the likes of Bard, Rogue, and Berserker on offer as you traverse the land and compete quests together. Sounds fun!

Meanwhile, there’s a massive eShop sale on this week that ends very soon. It features some excellent titles for a terrific price, like Tunic, Vampire Survivors, and Balatro, among others. Let us know if you’ve picked up any bargains with this latest round of sales.

This week’s addition to Nintendo’s own music-streaming service is the wonderful Fire Emblem Engage. If this isn’t a good enough reason to check out the app, we don’t know what is. Was it enough for Pure Nintendo’s own Fire Emblem enthusiast, Kirk? We’ll ask this very question on the next episode of the Pure Nintendo Podcast, so stay tuned.

There’s also a long list of new titles to consider, so check out the details below. What will you be playing this week?

Nintendo eShop highlight

• • Sunderfolk – Rediscover game night with the magic of Sunderfolk, a shared turn-based tactical RPG adventure where your mobile device becomes the controller and your Nintendo Switch system becomes your guide to the Sunderlands. Up to four players can play in this couch co-op adventure using their own devices. Choose from one of six classes, including Arcanist, Bard, Berserker and more. Help improve your home village of Arden between missions by unlocking different local vendors and building relationships with other Sunderfolk to earn in-game rewards. Don’t forget to outfit your characters with new skills, weapons, trinkets and more before heading out on your next run! Sunderfolk is available now.

• • Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones – The kingdom of Renais lies shattered by a sudden invasion. Use cunning strategy to guide the royal heirs Eirika and Ephraim on their twin quest to rebuild their home. Take advantage of the terrain and the weapon in your hand, attacking enemies from afar using magic or up close with your sword. Each weapon has its own strength and weakness, so choose wisely when attacking your opponent – if a soldier perishes on the battlefield, they’re gone forever!
