If you have been wanting to check out the cool Level-5 Guild01 titles on the 3DS eShop, but the prices were putting you off, now would be the time to strike! Well, maybe not now, but in a few days. Starting on April 18 and running through May 30, the three games will be on sale. Liberation Maiden from SUDA51 will be on sale at $4.99 (down from $7.99), Yoot Saito's Aero Porter will be $2.99 (down from $4.99), and the surprisingly in-depth Crimson Shroud from Yasumi Matsuno will be $4.99 (down from $7.99).
Crimson Shroud is the only one of the three that I currently own, and I would highly recommend that at the normal price. At $4.99, it's a steal. I will definitely be taking advantage of this sale to pick up the other two titles.
