It’s time for another Nintendo Download, and this week we have four featured titles to look at. Nintendo has also released a demo for Kirby Fighters 2. Without any further ado, let’s get right to the featured games of the week.

 

Featured Games

First up, we have story-driven rogue-lite survival game, The Red Lantern ($19.99 | $24.99). It tasks players with surviving in the Alaskan Tundra, all while trying to get home with their five sled dogs. The frozen wilderness is your greatest threat, so you’ll need to manage resources carefully in a changing world if you want to survive.

 

The second featured title for today is GONNER2 ($11.69 | $12.99), where you’ll adventure through the dark depths of many chaotic areas. At the same time, the art style is surprisingly colorful. You’ll face crazy bosses as you try to help death in this procedurally generated co-op platformer.

 

Next up, we have Supraland ($19.99). This open-world puzzle-platformer takes you on a quest to save your toy village in a first-person perspective. Fight to get an audience with the Blue King as Supraland gives you a new take on puzzles and exploration in this sandbox adventure game.

 

The last featured title in today’s Nintendo Download is Carto. ($17.99 | $19.99). Young Carto finds herself separated from her Granny during a storm. She will have to use her unusual cartography powers not just to map the world, but to manipulate it. She’ll adventure through lush biomes filled with hand-drawn art on her quest to reunite with her Granny. Carto is set to launch on October 27th.
