<p>While it's already been slated for the PC this July, Developer Mastiff has just announced the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/upcoming">upcoming Switch</a> release for their anticipated physics based 3D action game, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/fight-crab/">Fight Crab</a>.</p> 

<p>As you can probably tell from their title, there will be a lot crustacean action in this upcoming title, with player-controlled crabs clawing their way to victory using nunchucks, swords, and other crazy weapons in over-the-top battles.</p>

<p>You can check out the gameplay trailer below for a preview of the excitement:</p>

<p>With <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/kingdom-rush-frontiers/">Kingdom Rush Frontiers</a> already on the Switch, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/ironhide-game-studio/">Ironhide Studios</a> has primed the platform for more releases of their long-running tower defense series — the latest of which being the original title, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/kingdom-rush/">Kingdom Rush</a> available this July 31. </p>

<p>Check out the official trailer below:</p>

</div>

<p>Kingdom Rush first released on the iOS back in 2011, garnering rave reviews from both critics and gamers. Now, with its move to the Switch, the almost decade-old tower-defense has been fully optimized for the Nintendo console. 
</p>

<p>Not only did it receive a full high-definition overhaul, but the control scheme has also been adjusted to fit the Joy Con system.</p>

<p>Content-wise, there are only a few additions that set it apart from the iOS version. Namely a few new monster types and achievements. But, that probably won't matter much in a game that's already lauded for its content and variety.
</p>

<p>Kingdom Rush is also available on the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/kingdom-rush/">Android</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/kingdom-rush/">iOS</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/kingdom-rush/">PC</a>.

Journey To The Savage Planet Releases on the Switch

<p>BAFTA nominated developer <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/firefly-studios/">Firefly Studios</a> introduces three new units for their upcoming game, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/stronghold-warlords/">Stronghold: Warlords</a>, in their latest video published on their <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWfWZwvCiAt2UCntGuYF_2A">official youtube channel</a>.</p>

<p>The new video details a lot of the features and strategies that can be used alongside the units introduced specifically for the series' new setting.</p>

<p>Check out the video for yourself below:</p>

<div class="video-responsive">
	<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kK-Ue_sssbg" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

<p>Here are the summaries of the three units:</p>

<strong>Samurai</strong>

<div class="direct-quote">With the ability to charge down enemies foolish enough to stand in their way and eliminate high priority units like Generals with their Precision Strike, Samurai have a unique role to play in the game. True to their historical roots, these disciplined feudal fighters are best used in combat against priority targets or to quickly shut down foes with powerful abilities of their own. With a steady movement speed and weakness to gunpowder, they are however susceptible to swarms of cavalry and gunpowder-fuelled missile fire.</div>

<strong>Imperial Guardsman</strong>

<div class="direct-quote">An expensive but valuable unit, the heavy mace-wielding Imperial Guardsman will make a serious dent in any enemy siege force. Able to build up a Heavy Attack while in combat, the Guardsmen can then deal area damage in a wide arc when triggered. The Guardsmen can quickly tip the scales in your favour mid-siege—use him to clear castle walls, crush unarmoured skirmish troops, or dismantle siege weapons.</div>

<strong>Imperial Warrior</strong>

<div class="direct-quote">While the Imperial Warrior lacks a unique ability like that of the Samurai or Guardsman, he makes up for it with a high armor rating and damage output thanks to his weapons of choice. Resistant to Archer fire, Fire Lancers, and all but the heaviest siege weapons, the Imperial Warrior should form part of the front line in any castle siege or any large scale open field battle.</div>

<p>Stronghold: Warriors is the latest game in Firefly Studios' 'castle-sim' series and it's the first time it explores the history and battle tactics of the East, consisting of Mongol hordes, Chinese imperial warriors, and Japanese samurai.</p> 

<p>With the success of games with similar settings like <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/total-war-shogun-2/">Total War: Shogun 2</a> which currently ranks at #9 in the<a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/strategy?sort-by=play_score"> list of Top PC Strategies</a>, it's promising to see what kind of success Firefly Studios will find with this latest installment.</p>

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/stronghold-warlords/">Stronghold: Warriors</a> is set to release on the PC in 2020.</p>

<p>For more upcoming games, you can check out our  list for <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/upcoming">Upcoming PC Games</a>.</p>

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/milestone-inc/">Milestone</a> has recently announced the coming of the latest installment to their moto-racing series and now we have confirmation on a definite release date for <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/ride-4/">Ride 4</a> as well as a brand new trailer.</p>

<p>Check it out below:</p>

<div class="video-responsive">
	<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-6v5fsxYMK8" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

<p>Their drive for realism hasn't stopped and it looks like this entry is making strides toward that goal. While their tagline "It's 4 Real" might be a little too on the nose, the latest trailer shows off footage straight from the game's engine and you can see almost every detail of their gorgeous Yamaha bikes, all seeming life-like both in the garage as well as on the track.</p>

<p>Aside from realistic models, there's also gonna be a realism on the track with the entry adding dynamic lighting, weather conditions, and pit stops that will add to the authentic racing feel.</p> 

<p>Ride 4  introduces a lot of changes to the series. The list includes a renewed Career mode, ultimate Championships with powerful Sportbikes, and a new Endurance Mode that will offer challenges for the best virtual riders.</p> 

<p>Milestone's Ride series has been a treat for the underserved market for two-wheel racers. With <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/ride-3/">Ride 3</a>, they received average ratings on the PS4 and PC.</p> 

<p>Ride 4 is set to release on the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/ride-4/">PS4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/ride-4/">Xbox One</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/ride-4/">PC</a> on October 8th.</p>

<p>After <a href="https://whatoplay.com/news/black-jack-joins-crazy-defense-heroes-in-limited-time-crossover-event">welcoming Black Jack</a> in Crazy Defense Heroes, Animoca Brands goes medieval in their new tower-defense game, Beast Quest Ultimate Heroes. </p>

<p>Unlike <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/crazy-defense-heroes/">Crazy Defense Heroes</a>, this new game focuses on fantasy elements as it's based on the best-selling children's book series, Beast Quest. </p>

<p>The series has sold over 20 million copies and it seems to be translating into the mobile adaptation with over 560,000 pre-orders and pre-registrations. </p>

<div class="video-responsive">
	<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hJ0CT8btw2g" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

<div class="direct-quote">
<p>Featuring magic, epic battles, wizards and beasts, Beast Quest Ultimate Heroes, is a 3D tower defense mobile game with collectible card elements, the tactics of resource management, and RPG hero and equipment systems.</p>

<p>In Beast Quest Ultimate Heroes, an evil wizard has enslaved the magical Beasts of Avantia, the fantasy setting of the Beast Quest novels. Players must control Tom, the son of the legendary Taladon the Swift, as well as other heroes and Beasts to defend Avantia, defeat evil hordes of enemies, and ultimately free the enslaved Beasts from evil’s thrall.</p>
</div>

<p>It's not all that different from their Crazy Defense Heroes title, but it does seem like it's a more promising venture than the now discontinued <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/beast-quest/">Beast Quest</a> game released in 2015.</p>

<p>Beast Quest Ultimate Heroes is now available for download on <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/beast-quest-ultimate-heroes/">Android</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/beast-quest-ultimate-heroes/">iOS</a>.
