Having already sold over 2 million copies of ICEY across all platforms, X.D. Network Inc., a leading China publisher, is excited to announce that ICEY released on Nintendo Switch worldwide on 31st May has topped the prodigious Japan Nintendo Switch charts, achieving the number one spot in under two weeks after release.
Game Duchy are today very excited and happy to announce the latest event to arrive in their hit mech battler "Iron Saga", and that would be the "iCEY" Collaboration Event.
So after hearing about the game, waiting with baited breath for the English version, as a mech enthusiast I couldn't get past the tutorial. Its that "meh" to me.
For real, you couldn't get past the tutorial? Then why all the likes and positive comments? (paid for?)
I'm a picky bastard when it comes to mechs. The artwork might be beautiful, but the strict top-down view/brief control of units for a 30 sec to 1 minute fight, frankly brain dead bloated "story" which I've tried and failed not to skip, and of course the gotcha collection only does negative things to me.
Why is it otherwise positive Billy? Probably because I'm old. Not representative of a general audience that by many reports are more into slice of life anime and consider the mech genre to be dead.
ICEY is a great game. It's like a 2D mix of Nier Automata and Stanley Parable. I know nothing about this other game.
Doesn't look all that fun. I'll check it out though as I've played games that didn't wow me in videos but ended up liking once I sat down and played them myself.
The best thing people can do is to try the game for themselves BEFORE turning it down as a whole.
If you can get through the usual gotcha mechanics while hopefully resisting them, the art you unlock might be worth it.
That won't be a problem for me. I've been playing DBZ Dokkan for over 3 years now and haven't spent a dime on it. Lol
A bit of an "out of nowhere" collab but still cool to see. Iron Saga looks kinda meh imo but I'll be checking out anyway once it releases just to see how it really is.
Also, since Iron Saga is a chinese mobile game, it's nice to see a china developed mobile game collaborating with another chinese game, since most of ther collabs were, imo, with popular western ips or popular japanese ips.
Kinglink writes "I received ICEY as part of a bundle with the Steam Link. Actually, I bought the Steam Link and got ICEY with it, but I was curious about why it was the game to be featured in the Steam Link Bundle, so I put it in my queue, though near the bottom. Well, it’s time to finally look at ICEY and figure out what’s so special about it."
Today, the developers announced that the game’s success on the Nintendo Switch in the Japanese market has prompted them to localize the game in Japanese.
Felt there was a bit of the DMC/Bayonetta DNA as well with all the combo building.
I really enjoyed this on PS4 although some enemies and bosses can be cheap
I was playing Earth Wars when I got this game recommended from a friend of mine. Now that it's on Switch, I'm gonna try it out.
any reason why this is not out on PS4 in europe?
