February Games Preview: Super Mario 3D World, Bravely Default 2 & More!

You control up to three players in action-packed combat and can seamlessly switch among them to unleash diverse sets of attacks and skills to overcome your enemies. With the usual level up system, equipment, and items to aid you through dungeons and forests and probably more. (I could only play these two scenarios in the demo!)

The game will also be released for PC and Nintendo Switch sometime in 2021. Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood - February 4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AO72ON-Ioq8

Based on the popular tabletop RPG, Werewolf: The Apocalypse, Earthblood puts the player in the role of Cahal, a powerful Garou who went into exile after losing control over his devastating fury. Now, he seeks redemption by facing Pentex corporation and the pollution it causes, thus protecting the planet.

Besides fighting in his human form, Cahal can transform into a ferocious wolf or a Crinos, a huge violent beast. In each version, the eco-terrorist will have useful abilities and powers, allowing players to master the three forms of the character. But one must be careful because although it is his greatest ability, his anger is also his greatest weakness.

The game will be released for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The Nioh Collection - February 5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9CP2GXo3Ew

If there's a Nioh 3, you will play a Yokai and will have to slay samurais.

Originally released in 2013 for the Nintendo Wii U, Super Mario 3D World resurfaces in the Switch with a new adventure in the package, entitled Bowser's Fury. The game features several power-ups for Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad, ranging from cat transformation to a Goomba Suit and even clone creation. In Switch, the game will have an online multiplayer between up to four players and photo mode.

Bowser's Fury is an original adventure in which Mario forms an alliance with Bowser Jr. - which can be controlled by another player- and aims to defeat Fury Bowser, a giant and insane version of his iconic villain that loves to hear heavy-metal while throwing flames and showering lava at you.

When exploring the region of Lapcat Lake, Mario must collect Cat Shines scattered throughout the different islands of the map - and avoiding Bowser's fury whenever he awakens - until unlocking Giga Bell, which turns the hero into a giant super-Saiyan cat to face his nemesis on equal foot. Persona 5 Strikers - February 23 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR3z7eFJNHU

Persona 5 Strikers is the mix between the Persona 5 universe and the gameplay elements from the Dynasty Warriors series. If you are not familiar, Dynasty Warriors puts you on a battlefield against a horde of enemies and you must complete the objectives while trampling them all over in hack 'n slash gameplay, aka musou.

Persona 5 Strikers takes players on an epic journey with the Phantom Thieves, where they counter the corruption that plagues Japanese cities six months after the original game outcome. The summer vacation with friends takes a sudden turn as a distorted reality emerges. Now it's up to you to reveal the truth and rescue the hearts of those trapped in the center of the crisis.

Although both the original Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal are exclusive to PlayStation consoles, Strikers will be released for PC and Nintendo Switch. Ghosts 'n Goblins: Resurrection - February 25 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRYGXPTQ6Sc

The classic Capcom franchise returns in this remake for Nintendo Switch, Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection is a new game that bets on a graphic style inspired by the illustrations of the storybooks, trying to present a balance between modern and nostalgic. Players will have new spells and weapons to face new enemies.

You play King Arthur in an adventure that will make you travel through a world full of dangers and enemies to save the princess. In the remake, there will be four difficulty levels, Page, Squire, Knight, and Legend.

So far, the game will be a Switch exclusive. Bravely Default II - February 26 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zCZUSA3aQ4

Bravely Default II is the third game of the Bravely saga - for some reason, there's a Bravely Second in between the games -, Bravely Default II tells a story with a world and characters completely new. The adventure follows four central characters: sailor Seth, princess Gloria, scholar Elvis, and mercenary Adelle.

Developed by SquareEnix, you can find strong inspirations of the Final Fantasy franchise, not only in the role crystals play, the characters' lives, and plot but also in the gameplay based on a job system and turn-based combat with the famous ATB (active-time battle), even though they call it otherwise. By defeating enemies, players receive Asterisks, by which they can then perform the change of jobs according to need.

The series was born on Nintendo 3DS and has now moved to Switch.
