Xbox Store Today: Happy Dungeons, Telltale’s Batman Episode 1, Dead Island: Retro Revenge, more

It’s time to get happy… today’s Xbox Games Store update is now available.

And speaking of happiness, Toylogic is back with Happy Dungeons (Xbox One), a free-to-play sequel to Happy Wars. This time, the multiplayer action RPG takes the battle deep underground with a “witty, upbeat storyline that’s never short of a surprise.”

But if you feel that happiness is overrated, let Telltale help you challenge your angst with Batman: The Telltale Series. Episode 1: Realm of Shadows is now available to download for the Xbox One, and players will be able to take control of both Batman and Bruce Wayne as they try to clean up the streets of Gotham.

Deep Silver’s Dead Island: Retro Revenge is also available as a standalone download for the Xbox One. Previously exclusive to the Dead Island Definitive Collection, Retro Revenge is a side-scrolling beat ’em up through a zombie-infested California.

Finally this week, Introversion’s slammer simulator, Prison Architect, makes a break for the Xbox 360.

You can learn more about all of these games (and a few other new releases) after the break.
