johnclark12 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) It's been a while since we had the last POWGI game, which was PS4 exclusive. The ones prior to that were cross-buy for Vita & PS4. It looks like moving forward the games will now be cross-buy for PS5 & PS4. The game releases on April 27, likely for $7.99 as that is what every other edition has been at release. Make new words by changing one letter at a time. The goal is to turn one word into another using only a limited number of steps. The games can usually be completed in under 2-3 hours with a guide or much longer if you play the word games legitimately. It came out on 3DS a while ago, below is a video of gameplay. What do you guys think about POWGI coming to the PS5 scene with cross-buy games? Will you be buying?

Jeffboy265 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 PS Vita stacks get replaced with PS5 stacks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakebit10 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I have only Played one Powgi game and found it so boring. I doubt I will buy another one anytime soon. Good for those who like them and now on PS5. Now all we need is Artifax Mundi to start making their games for PS5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post topbooger Posted April 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2021 I like the Powgi games. They're not exactly exciting, but it fills that old people, newspaper crossword niché. The simple platinum is a nice bonus too! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElevExplorer64 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Aaaaand there goes my plans to get every platinum in every NA stack of the POWGI series, at least for the time being. I have little interest in a PS5, and this definitely isn't enough to change my mind. But hey, props to the devs for making their first PS5 game. I'm still going to get the PS4 version at some point.

I especially liked them on Vita because you could do them as you laid in bed at night or something. Working on the Pic-a-Pix series with Vita doing that right now. These types of games are also perfect to bring up on your laptop when playing remote play somewhere because they aren't graphic-intense and you can easily play them without a controller plugged in since you only really use X, O, and directional pad. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckydonut Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I can confirm the price will be $7.99 with cross-buy for PS4 and PS5. For this version, we added a bunch of new puzzles to the content from the 3DS version. Looks like my platinum run (on the PS4 version) took 32 minutes - but I do know all the answers already... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TrophyChief Posted April 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2021 Cone on @luckydonutPush this one to the Vita too for one last hurrah! You can say you are the only developer to say you have a game that offers crossbuy for PS5, PS4, PS Vita, eh? ? Thanks for coming back for more. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POWGI on PS5 is almost as exciting as an announcement for Block-a-Pix 2! ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donut. Would you consider remastered all previous POWGI games on PS5? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not out of the question, but probably not worthwhile with backwards compatibility working so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the PS Vita store stays open longer, is there a chance we'll see this and Roundout on PSVita? I really like playing them on my Vita when I'm on holiday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, we're not rushing through a version of Roundout - we've shifted now to PS4/PS5 instead of PS4/Vita. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
