Unholy Heights, or Maison de Maou as it’s known in Japan, is a lovely little mashup between tower defense and apartment simulation in which the player steps in the shoes in the Devil, who decided to become the manager of an apartment for monsters.
The Devil has to take care of his tenants as they live their lives, get jobs, fall in love and have children, and at the same time he has to defend the apartment complex from human heroes that want to exterminate the monsters.
The game has been released on Steam, 3DS, PS Vita and Xbox 360, and last month a PS4 version was announced. Today we get a release date, at least for Japan, which will be on June 10th.
Carl Williams writes, "The Nintendo Switch is burning up the sales charts lately and Nintendo, along with key third parties, are working hard to keep new games coming. The games listed are not all of the games coming out for the platform – just the ones coming to the Switch eShop digital service."
I'm so excited for Wonderboy. I've never been part of the indie scene until I got a Switch. I got Graceful Explosion Machine, Snipperclips, World of Goo, and Mr Shifty. I have a feeling that this is going to be a great addition to my collection.
Dylan Chaundy from Brash Games writes "It may not be the deepest and most complex game around, but what it lacks in depth it makes up for in sheer charisma. It’s a game that simply oozes charm and may well scratch an itch that you never even knew you had."
Pure PlayStation writes, "Unholy Heights is a great real estate, simulation title. I originally enjoyed controlling prices, amenities, deciding who got a room, meeting all the various creatures, and in turn controlling satisfaction. It's just that this might get old because of the many difficulty spikes in order to extend the game's completion time. As tower defense experiences go, Unholy Heights is enjoyable but just kept from being a must buy due to difficulty mismanagement. Seeing as how this was released on the 3DS, I could easily recommend this for short/medium drives with the Vita's remote play feature."
