Overview
Description

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a laid-back life simulation where you develop a deserted island into a personalized community, crafting, decorating, and interacting with charming animal villagers in real time.

Wild Arms XF is a 2D turn-based tactical role-playing game that blends the depth of chess with strategic grid-based combat. Players control a small squad of up to six characters on unique hexagonal battlefields, utilizing positional advantages and environmental maneuvering to overcome challenging foes. The story follows Clarissa Arwin, who enters the kingdom of Elesius to retrieve a stolen family sword and is mistaken for the deceased heir-presumptive. Assuming the persona of Princess Alexia, Clarissa founds the rebel group Chevalet Blanc to liberate the nation from the oppressive Council of Elder Statesmen and their mercenary Martial Guard.
