Oh yes, give me a myriad of Albedo puzzles pls! :D

I hope it gets localized, if only because I don't want to use noney on my Japanese eshop account. That's for demo downloads only.

Any info on an English version? Don't know anything about the anime, but always looking for more Picross.

This is a strange crossover, but sure.

How were the later seasons of Overlord? I enjoyed the first season but never kept up.

Don't bother. S2 and S3 are purely 'Ainz strong, gruesomely murdering humans' without any meaningful plot development. I loved S1 and defended S2, but S3 was just dumb in how oddly sociopathic it was.

Padding puzzle totals with Clip Picross seems disingenuous. Those are super lame.

I just hope this is better than Kemono Friends, because that one is just anime girls in 95% of the puzzles and while I'm hard up for Picross, I'm not so desperate that I'll take a bunch of puzzles with solutions that all look the same.

Konami's Pixel Puzzle Collection was my first ever exposure to Picross. It has shittons of puzzles (which I'm nearing completion of) and it was free (with ads). Other than what seems to be higher production values, why should I be paying this much for what seems to be the exact same gameplay? Am I missing something?

no reason, basically. it's the same exact game. it's just more puzzles with [imo] the best UI of any picross game.
edit: i guess the mega mode is something that i haven't seen in other picross games. it's a really cool take on picross and adds a lot of challenge to the puzzles.

Hm, doesn't look like it's voiced, is it?
i doubt they have the budget to do VA.

Overlord completely lost me early on in season 1, when an ally to the main character got brutally murdered, her eyes gouged out and all, and the main character not being able to muster any kind of emotion. Him losing empathy is a plot point, but not one I care for.

That said, chibi Overlord works in the humorous Isekai Quartet show.

Color picross, better UI, better controls.
Also, more puzzles.

Can't wait to solve the puzzle of this particular bit.

If you own a phone, there's literally hundreds of free Picross games. Many are better than the ones Jupiter keeps low-efforting.

i just remembered something! i really hope there's some acknowledgement here if you do a puzzle with no assists. normal S games have that for every puzzle as well as every mode if you do all puzzles in that mode with no assist, but [as silly as it sounds] i didn't buy the kemono friends picross game because it didn't have that.

It's still pretty funny that Nintendo own the "Picross" name and other companies buy a licence to develop those games like we're talking about Tetris.

other companies are free to develop picross games without paying nintendo, they just can't call it picross. picross is a made-up name anyway, the original name is nonogram.

Such a bizarre oversight on that one. It's inexplicable why they omitted it.

EDIT: Oh, sweet! Worldwide simultaneous release, wooo! Totally missed the thread title edit and skipped over the earlier posts confirming it. I guess we can expect this trend to continue with all Picross games moving forward. (Let's just forget about Picross e9 though.)

Oh, slay, localization is great news! I'll have to burn through a couple of volumes of the LN before next week so I'm not lost on story stuff.

Is it the same with Tetris? You can make a Tetris game without the licence, you just have to name it "Falling Puzzle" or something like that?
not really. the creator of tetris came up with its concept and mechanics and trademarked them along with the name, whereas nonograms as a concept are free game and belong to no one in particular. what nintendo has done is just put a specific name on the nonograms names they've published, and since those games have been so popular their brand has become synonymous with the concept.

Ah, thank you! It's always good to learn something new.
