Kamiko (Switch): COMPLETED!

I’m a big fan of Fairune, that tiny adventure game for the 3DS with no proper combat and a very odd way of levelling up. Kamiko is by the same developer, and so I was interested as sound as I realised this.

And it’s great. Short, but great. You move through four small levels, opening doors and making pathways appear by pressing buttons or finding and carrying keys. Not dissimilar to Fairune, but the big change is in the combat. Whereas in Fairune you just bump into baddies, here you actually have to swipe your sword or loose your arrows or whatever.

There are also Titan Souls-esque (but much easier to beat) bosses at the end of each level.

And that’s it. It cost me 30p, I’ve completed it as Sword Person, and I’m halfway through a run as Bow Person.

Not often I buy and complete a game in a single weekend. Even if said game is only an hour long. But here we are.
Play
Grand Theft Auto V (PS4)
So the gang is all together, sort of, and I’ve completed the first mission as the three of them. A not at all far-fetched episode where Trevor flies a helicopter that Michael rappels out of so he can smash through a window of a tower block, while Franklin provides covering fire with a sniper rifle. Pretty standard GTA then. And then this happened to Michael:

So, er, yeah.
Minecraft: Story Mode (PS4)
I played and completed the remainder of this over the past week. If you’ve read my Gaming Diary you’ll be aware of my thoughts already, but basically – not a terrible game, but absolutely not the graphical adventure title I was expecting and far too full of QTEs. QTEs which I always find too difficult on a PlayStation controller because I don’t know which button is which. All done now.
Kamiko (Switch)
With some store credit and a sale, I picked up some eShop Yen from Play-Asia. With it I bought Kamiko and Plantera DX for essentially thirty pence each. I was going to get Kamiko anyway, as I’d enjoyed Fairune and as it turns out, it’s really pretty good! Short, but that’s not an issue. Especially for 30p, anyway. I completed it, of course.

Plantera DX (Switch)
And this, which is a simple clicker style game where you have a farm full of deformed animals. There’s very little to it, but it’s cheerful and cute and difficult to put down. Which is odd really, because once you’ve bought a few upgrades it’s actually better to put it down and stop playing for a while, because it plays itself. Currently on level 60. I don’t know what level it goes up to, but there’s an achievement for reaching 100, so at least that.
