A Space for the Unbound Review – A Relatable Trip Down Memory Lane

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

A Space for the Unbound is a slice-of-life adventure game that tells the tale of overcoming anxiety, depression and supernatural powers.

A Throwback to the 90s
Developed by Mojiken Studio and published by Toge Productions, A Space for the Unbound takes place in the late 90s of rural Indonesia where it follows a high school student named Atma.

The game lets the players interact and immerse themselves within the world instead of imagining what happens behind the scenes in Visual Novel games.
Stepping into the shoes of Atma, we set off to uncover the supernatural anomalies that happen in his everyday life, reeling in more questions than answers. While the story keeps you guessing, it’s also a chill and relatable experience that had me reminisce my teenager years, going off to random places and just enjoying life. A bittersweet trip down to memory lane, when times were simpler.

and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

Bear in mind, A Space for the Unbound isn’t just all rainbows and sunshine. The game talks about some of the more heavier topics like depression, anxiety, and other mental health problems. And while it might not be everyone’s cup of tea, I still implore you to check out the game.
A good story is nothing without its characters, and luckily the game has its fair share of good characters. One of which is the game’s main protagonist Atma. He’s not the hotshot protagonist with their can-do attitude, he’s just your average teenager with some supernatural powers. But his attitude and the way he reacts to scenarios is what makes the story feel so enjoyable.
He can be silly, serious, sympathetic, hardworking, and patient, but most importantly he’s clueless about all these crazy phenomenons happening around him, much like we are. This makes Atma such a relatable character. Him having his own personality also makes for a more interesting narrative, being able to see how the story unfolds through someone else’s perspective. Rather than being a self-insert blank slate of a custom avatar.
Another character that I appreciate a lot is Atma’s sweetheart, Raya and is also someone that I imagine will shock a lot people, though I won’t explain why.
Stay for a While
I’m already personally a big fan of pixel aesthetics and A Space for the Unbound is simply just beautiful. While it’s not as “smooth” in contrast to the HD-2D style like Live A Live or Octopath Traveler, the game makes up by offering a very nostalgic atmosphere that brings you back to 90s Indonesia.
Minor details like having waroeng, a wedding tent blocking a street, a guy listening to keroncong music, an old mum cleaning up the streets with a watering hose. And best of all, stray cats everywhere where you can pet and give names to.
The cherry on top are the individual scenes throughout the story that enriches the experience. Scenes like the cinematic shots or even just the random events, you can appreciate the quality of the pixel art.

Dive into the Unbound
While A Space for the Unbound brands itself as a casual adventure game, there’s surprisingly a lot of stuff you can do. The game is relatively linear but you’re given a lot more freedom to explore places to progress through the narrative.
The places you can to go when starting off the game are very limited, and the puzzles you need to solve are pretty easy too. But the game opens up after completing the Prologue, and there’s a bunch of new things you can experience in each of the chapters.
By reading the Magical Red Book, it unlocks Atma’s supernatural powers of being able to go inside people’s mind. This mechanic is called Spacedive and you’re only able to use it when encountering individuals who are facing mental problems, or people who have emotional baggage that they can’t let go off.
These individuals are marked with yellow flowers over their heads which you can later interact with to go inside their minds. Once you’re inside, you’re able to see the imagery of the struggle that they’re facing and find the resolution that they look for. The Spacedive always involves some puzzle solving and sometimes you’ll need to think outside the box to find the specific items or clues.
One of the biggest factors as to why the puzzle solving aspect is by far my favourite part of the game is how they manage to incorporate storytelling of the characters that you tried to help out with. It’s also really neat that the puzzle is designed to fit in with the person’s state of mind.
While most of the puzzles are relatively easy to solve, things can get trippy when Crossdive is involved. A mechanic where you can enter someone’s mind, that you meet inside another person’s mind. A Mind-Inception of sorts, which I admit does prolong the process of progressing to the next story segment. But it’s still a cool concept nevertheless.
Aside from the mind hopping, there’s various mini-games to play, collectibles to hunt, tales to uncover, and even combat scenarios that uses Quick-time events. So if you want to take a detour from the main story, there’s plenty of things for you to do.
While some of the objectives can feel like a chore to do and how some chapters with only involve one main task that seemingly drags on; A Space for the Unbound is designed in a way that keep things engaging as well as unpredictable.
Although, there’s some minor personal gripes I have with the game. One of which is with the dialogue choice where you can swipe left and right with. It threw me off at first where I had mistakenly skipped through some dialogue, but fortunately there’s a text log option where I can read through previous dialogue.
Speaking of choices, I would’ve personally preferred if the game had more severe consequences in certain events, instead of following this one thread. Again, this is just personal preferences where I would like if my character could be a bit more flexible in how they’re portrayed, which also helps with replay value.
Verdict
It’s safe to say that A Space for the Unbound was definitely worth the wait. The game manages to give off a relaxing, beautiful and unique story that’s also engaging, reeling in my attention from start of finish. Even while putting in so much focus with the story, the game doesn’t cheap out with its gameplay where it introduces some intriguing and refreshing concepts with Spacedive and Crossdive mechanics.
The game is always unpredictable and keeps you at the edge of your seats. It’s rare to find a relaxing game that manages to keep you fully immersed like in this 90s Indonesia mixed with the supernatural. And while I do have some minor nitpicks with the dialogue choices, my gripes pale in comparison when compared to the whole package.

                                        Pros

                                        Cons

                                        Engaging and unpredictable story

                                        Story progression can be too linear with minimal consequences

                                        Great Characters

                                        Beautiful depiction of rural Indonesia in pixel art

                                        Plethora of things to do outside of story

Upcoming Overlord light novel volume draft exceeded 700 pages

According to Overlord author Kugane Maruyama earlier this week, the draft for the next volume of the light novel has exceeded 700 pages. As a result, the author plans to divide the new volume, The Half Wood Elf God-kin, into two books.

あけましておめでとうございます。零稿が700ページを超えました。なので、上下（15＆16）巻となります。出来るだけ近い間隔で出すために鋭意努力中。もう少……結構待ってくれると嬉しいです。

— 丸山くがねちゃん（11歳） (@maruyama_kugane) January 4, 2022

There is still no release date for Overlord volume 15. Maruyama requested fans to be “a little bit more patient” in the tweet above. The Overlord volume 14, The Witch of the Falling Kingdom, was released back in March 2020.

Considering that early light novel volumes of Overlord typically number between 350 – 450 pages, splitting the new volume into two books makes sense. Note that the number of pages is based on the Japanese release of the light novel—English versions tend to be a lot less in terms of the number of pages.
In May last year, the fourth season of the Overlord anime was announced alongside an anime movie adaptation. Overlord season 4 is expected to air sometime this year. With the Overlord anime having adapted the first 9 volumes of the light novel, season 4 is likely to cover volume 10, The Ruler of Conspiracy. For more updates on the anime, follow the official Overlord anime Twitter account.
In other related Overlord news, an Overlord video game, Escape From Nazarick, was announced last month for Switch and PC via Steam.

Live A Live is actually a remake of the 1994 Super Famicom game of the same name. The game is unique for a JRPG as instead of playing through one large story, you instead play through eight different stories that take place in different time periods like the wild west, the stone age, and the near future.
Each chapter has a different protagonist and slightly different styles of gameplay. For example, Edo Japan has you using stealth to avoid getting into battles while Ancient China has you teaching three students to inherit your martial arts style.

“Khalid Young Dumb & Broke VR” To Be Released at PlayStation Store on 29th March 2018!

We all know the infectious song of Khalid’s Young Dumb & Broke that has been hitting radio station’s top billboard singles. The song re-imagined in the VR experience, Khalid Young Dumb & Broke VR, will also hit the PlayStation Store on the 29th March 2018 for the PlayStation VR. It’s not a game but it’s a Virtual Reality experience that will take you on a journey with Khalid in his epic Young Dumb & Broke music video.

Announced by Sony Interactive Entertainment Hong Kong Limited Singapore Branch (SIES), the Khalid Young Dumb & Broke VR was launched as a part of its Lost in Music campaign. The VR experience will take music fans on an immersive journey through his music video which is a RIAA certified 3x platinum single.

Once fans are in the VR world, they will be immediately placed in the driver’s seat of a classic car. Khalid will then make his appearance in the VR, welcoming you and take you on an amazing trip through the cityscapes, the far reaches of the cosmos and high school football fields. There are also jellyfish swirling rhythmically around you, gargantuan orbiting planets and many other surprises in the music experience through the power of PlayStation VR. The Young Dumb & Broke music video will be projected onto this mesmerizing world, transforming it into a unique extrasensory adventure.
Khalid trying out the PS VR experience

As this is the first VR experience involving an Artist, we can expect more to come with Sony collaborating with other Artists in the future. This could also revolutionize how live concerts will be. For example, a recorded live concert or a re-imagined live concert could be created for music fans who had little time or missed the concert to experience it in VR. Since music fans usually pay an amount of money for a live concert, it is also possible that a VR concert featuring real Artists could be realized. That way, once bought, fans can also revisit the live concert in the VR anytime they want! Imagine going to a re-imagined concert of the legendary late Michael Jackson in VR! Think of the possibilites!

While this sounds like a bizarre fan comic, it’s not- the manga is officially licensed by Kodansha and DC comics. On top of that it will feature interiors by Kitago Kai, as well as writing by Miyagawa Satoshi.

There’s been no word on how long the manga will be, and if DC will bring it west-side with official English translations.
Kitago Kai has also previously done other surreal comedy such as Mii Chanto Watashi (Me and Me) as well as Neko, to We Love Cats.

Not The First Time Japan’s Chosen Food Over Violence
Funnily enough this isn’t the first time manga has taken a popular character and given it a food-based spinoff. the Fate series had also done the same previously with Today’s Menu for the Emiya Family (Lovingly shortened to Emiya Gohan). Rather than being about mages summoning the spirits of famous heroes to brutally murder each other for power, Emiya Gohan was about the day-to-day life of series protagonist Shirou Emiya, as he cooks meals for all the characters of Fate/Stay Night.
Emiya Gohan went on to get its own anime adaptation by Demon Slayer studio UFOtable, and most recently a game for the Nintendo Switch.

KLab said the Jojo mobile game has been in development since 2020 however there is still little information released about it. There is however an official website released for the game.
Klab is most well known for developing the Love Live gacha game, Love Live School Idol Festival. They have also worked on the gacha games Bleach: Brave Souls, Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team, and Lapis Re: LiGHTs. From these titles, it’s easy to see that they specialize in gacha games based on Anime licensed properties. There’s a good chance that their new Jojo game will also be made in this format.

If you’re already decided which Pokémon you plan to Power Up, you’ll need to gather Stardust and Candies. It’s best if you took advantage of leveling up your trainer using Items.

To Get Candy

When you catch a Pokémon, you will receive three Candies that corresponds to the specific Pokémon you just caught.
You can transfer unwanted Pokémon to Professor Willow in exchange for Candy.
Hatch Eggs to receive large amounts of Candy based on the Pokémon that hatched.

To Get Stardust

When you catch Pokémon you receive 100 Stardust.
Store Pokémon in Gyms and obtain Stardust (and PokéCoins) from the Shop in the main menu. The higher the number of undefeated Pokémon stored in your Gyms, the more Stardust you will receive. These bonuses are available approximately every 20 hours.

Leveling up is essential for you to be able to encounter Pokémon with higher CP. Here are some ways you can gain more XP:

Another tip for leveling fast is using Items! The most important Item to have when leveling is the Lucky Egg. When activated, it will double all XP earned for 30 minutes. Combine this with Incense or a Lure Module and you’ll find yourself leveling up fast just by catching lots of Pokémon! (Remember to load your bag with Pokéballs)

P.S. Incense spawns roughly 1 Pokémon every 5 minutes while standing still, and every 1 minute for every 200 meters moved.
We’ll be covering on spawn locations in Part 3, and in case you missed out, here’s Part 1.

Have you joined in on the craze yet?!

[LEVEL UP KL 2022] Toge Productions Head of Marketing Sarah Johana Talks About Indie Devs Needing That Crucial First Step In Interview

Over at the annual South East Asia Game Developers Conference – LEVEL UP KL 2022, we had the chance to talk with Sarah Johana, who is the Head of Marketing in Toge Productions, an Indonesian-based Game Developer and Publisher studio in an interview.

In our interview with Sarah, she talked about how Game developers find a middle ground between creative vision and commercial decision, the concept of target persona and other various topics about the game industry.

We previously also attended her talk about the Hook Analysis: Finding Your Game’s Design Pillars and Maximising Your Game’s Strongest Selling Point and if you’re interested in checking that out, click here.
[Interview is edited for clarity]

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Do you feel that Indie Game Developers have some difficulties balancing their creative vision versus commercial decision?
Yeah, I think it sort of depends on the region, but from what I see from indie developers in Southeast Asia, we’re still very product oriented instead of market oriented. But I also think that’s because we don’t have enough accessibility to information, because when I see events like GDC (Game Developers Conference) or PAX in Western Countries, they have lots of talks that cover all these topics. I’m not only just teaching about game making, but also marketing, market research, book analysis and stuff.
And of course for us who live in the Southeast Asia region, it’s hard for us to travel to Western countries to attend their events. So it’s not that indie game developers can’t partake in them, but it’s because they don’t have the access to learn about all these information.
There’s this perception that indie developers are naive and very innocent. So bringing up having to do market research might be shocking to some. So, whenever you talk with developers for the first time, how do you break the news that we have to make some business decisions now?
I think it’s because I don’t have a background in business, or not even marketing or management. So I think if I mention something like “Okay, let’s talk business” and they would back down. So instead of saying that, we have to understand the business. That’s why I always tell them “You guys want people to buy your game, right?” If people would want to buy your game, you have to know what it is that they want.
I would use a more friendly, familiar approach that is probably more acceptable to the developers, because I understand when indie developers graduate from school, they want to make the game by themselves. So they would only care and think about “Oh, I want to make something big and amazing! Like the next Final Fantasy game!” but they tend to forget that the team behind Final Fantasy have over hundreds or thousands of people working on it.
But again, this is something that they probably didn’t learn from school, so we need to inform them about the deep knowledge about how the industry actually works and that if you want to be successful at making games, it’s not about making the game for you, but it’s about making the game for the players. So what we try to do is have a friendlier approach when talking to indie developers.

So this is more directed for our readers who might be currently working on their game. Do you feel like there’s a point where it’s too late to do a hook analysis? Like if a game has already been released on Steam for instance?
If it already reached the final stage of development, then it’s definitely way too late. We wanted to do the hook analysis to be able to determine the design pillar, which is supposed to be in the early development of the game. Also because we don’t want to make too many changes in the game, so the sooner we do the hook analysis, the sooner we can do the iteration of the loop and process the better.
Because sometimes the analysis is not only done once, it can be done several times. So for an example, when we already did the quick analysis and say we want to make changes, we have to do the hook analysis again to validate if the design flaw that we make from that is already correct. And if it’s still not according to our expectations, then we have to do the iteration and hook analysis again. So basically, if you are already way into the development then it’s already too late, it’s better to do it during the early development phase.

One thing that was really interesting during the presentation you brought up was the concept of the target persona. Toge games in particular have a very unique portfolio of games like A Space for the Unbound and Coffee Talk. Can you share what you describe your target persona as for most of Toge games portfolio?
For Toge games in general, the ones that are doing well and have a bigger audience are A Space for the Unbound and Coffee Talk, which are narrative based games. But Toge are also working on a lot of strategy games as well, we’re currently working on Kriegsfront and also we don’t really have a specific Toge Productions target persona. So when we determine the target persona, we will try to determine it for each project, because even with Coffee Talk and A Space for the Unbound, there’s a different persona to them. Like A Space for the Unbound, players love the narrative, but they also look for something that they can play and puzzles for them to solve.
A Space for the Unbound
I mentioned about the four quadrants (For the personality types chart), and for A Space for the Unbound are people who love the emotional appeal of something, so they would be on the green sector. (Green being All about the feelings. Caring, Encouraging, Sharing, Patient, Relaxed) But they would also like to solve puzzles and that more towards green to blue. (Blue being Data, Stats, and Numbers. Cautious, Precise, Deliberate, Questioning, Formal).
Meanwhile for Coffee Talk it’s different, it leans more to the Green to Yellow (Yellow being Interaction with others. Sociable, Dynamic, Demonstrative, Enthusiastic, Persuasive), because they want to play the game, or get the emotional feel from the story. They want to understand the characters, they don’t look for puzzles or anything. Even when you brew a drink in Coffee Talk, it’s not really punishing, so you can still finish the game even if you make the wrong drinks or have terrible latte art. Even if Coffee Talk and A Space for the Unbound are both narrative driven, both games have different target personas.
Coffee Talk
Because you mentioned strategy games, I actually really liked Vanaris Tactics. During your talk, you mentioned to not make the main focus of sharing culture. And I think it’s really interesting that when you look at Vanaris Tactics, I didn’t know the developer was from Brazil. Because the first few chapters of the game are about colonisation, I thought it was somewhere from Southeast Asia because that also feels like our story as well.
It makes sense in for people in Brazil, but you guys managed to make it in a way that it also relates to people in Indonesia and Malaysia, so can you talk about how that came to be?
Vanaris Tactics
For Vanaris Tactics, we were merely the publishers so the theme and the direction for the game is done by the developer, which was Matheus Reis from Brazil. But the reason that we signed with this game is exactly like you mentioned about delivering this message. Matheus is a huge fan of the anime Attack on Titan, where the story of show is about people that look for freedom behind the walls. So that idea is already familiar since people already watched Attack on Titan.
People will understand there’s a world where they are trapped inside and they want to get out from there. So that is the kind of world that was used as the setting for Vanaris Tactics. We loved that he wants to deliver the message, but in a more familiar way to a lot of people and it’s also relatable for us who live in SEA country, but also for those who live in Brazil or any other countries.

You mentioned that it’s good to use pop culture elements to frame a game when you’re doing a Hook analysis. But do you ever worry that sometimes people take too much to the comparison, like maybe say a developer starts making their game even more Makoto Shinkai-like because you attach that label to it. Is that a problem that you run into?
I think for Makoto Shinkai, we only use that internally. So we just put that in our design pillar where we want to make something that’s similar to the visual style of Makoto Shinkai, but the way we communicate that to the players is to look for the wording that conveys that. Like it’s inspired by something that Makoto Shinkai usually makes like “A high school student looking for answers in finding their journey”.
For Vanaris Tactics, instead of saying that “Oh, this is inspired by Attack on Titan” we say that they are trapped inside a wall. But even without saying the name of the series, they would probably already feel like it’s sort of like Attack on Titan. So we just use that reference internally, but we use that as a benchmark on how we communicate to the players.

We would like to thank Sarah Johana for taking the time to answer our questions. If you would like to know more about Sarah Johana, you can check out her twitter account here.

GrandChase First Impressions

The global version of GrandChase has just gone live, so we can finally talk a little bit more about it. For the uninitiated, it is the direct sequel to the original Grand Chase for the PC. Unfortunately we have no experience with the predecessor, so this piece of GrandChase first impression will solely be for the mobile game, which would also reduce the bias since we will not be able to do things like complain how it failed to live up to the name.

In any case, if you were unable to guess from the screenshots and numerous gameplay videos up online, this is your standard real-time action RPG which heavily borrows elements from JRPGs, as the game is anime as heck. You will assemble a team of four ranging from a variety of classes, and subsequently battle your way across the various story missions.

While nothing to write home about, the production values here are fairly commendable even if the designs aren’t particularly unique. Everything works as intended and if you are a fan of such games, there might be something here to like.

The battle system is fairly straightforward in that you drag your party to move around the map. Units will automatically engage foes, and all you need to do is tap on the skills accordingly. While it is very simple, it certainly is very satisfying to see all the skills go off all at once in battle which can be rather chaotic at times.
And unlike other games similar to it, you can play as much as you want, as there is no stamina system to speak of. As such clearing the campaign in less than a day is very possible. The story is serviceable, but if you are a seasoned gamer, there isn’t particularly interesting here.

Let us then move on to the monetisation system. There are a total of three currency types in Grand Chase, namely gems, gold, and prana. Gold and prana are earned by completing mission objectives and the like while gems are the premium currency which will need to be bought with real money, although there is a limited amount which you can get from just playing the game.
Starting the game gives you enough gems to do a 10 roll or two, but you will soon find yourself starving for them. That said, we have not encountered a point where you are gated from not having the best units which will are available from the premium summon, so it’s hard to really gauge how restrictive the game is in this area. But as mentioned earlier, you can play the game as much as you want as there is no stamina gauge, meaning you are free to farm until you get tired.

So for what it’s worth, Grand Chase is a fairly solid entry in the crowded mobile RPG market. Unfortunately it also means that if you have played other games like this, you will not find anything new here to sway you. If you have never played anything like this in your life before, then perhaps this is worth a try, although you might find other better titles from just looking around. The monetisation system isn’t particularly greedy and restrictive so there is some incentive to put some time into this just to see when you hit a roadblock.

Elden Ring has seen a lot of hype building up to its release, after multiple years of radio silence following the game’s initial announcement, so it makes sense a lot of people like the Craftopia developers would want to take time off just to play the game.
Pocket Pair is the developer of Craftopia, an open world rpg as well as Palworld, their dystopian take on monster collectors a la the Pokemon series that also features firearms.

Cory Barlog Steps In Against Harassment Of Alanah Pearce

SIE Santa Monica creative director Cory Barlog has stepped in, after some people have been hostile about the news that God of War Ragnarok would be delayed to next year, taking it as free reign to harass studio employees.

Alanah Pearce, who last year joined the team as a writer, was the target of harassment, with toxic netizens thinking her outwards-facing persona and woman-status meant that she was the reason for the game’s delay.

Pearce even posted a screenshot of the message, which we won’t show for some pretty graphic content, joking about it as her “first game-dev related abusive message”.

In response, Cory Barlog took to Twitter, telling people to redirect their anger over the delay to him instead.
“For real, y’all, this is some BULLSHIT! You want to be mad at somebody for ANYTHING GOW related – the delay, ps4/5, trolls, subtitle size, Sigrun, whatevs – be angry with me. I made the calls. I did this”, Balrog tweeted. “Don’t bother the team, they are all very good people doing great work.”
He also went in to bat for the team, calling them “f*cking EXCEPTIONAL at what they do”, highlighting the importance of the team.
Standing Up To Harassment, An Editorial
Standing up for your employees is an important part of a leadership role, especially when they’re part of vulnerable groups prone to online harassment. No matter how well they can play it off with a joke or with a sharp burn, women get targeted with harassment way more than men do, and in response men, especially those in power, should be expected to do a lot more than blanket “all harassment is bad” statements.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Announced

The game will be available on all Nintendo Switch devices July 16th.

As a Wii game, it was one of the harder games to port forward, seeing as it made use of the Wii’s motion controls by having attacks that mattered which way you were physically swinging your sword.

While you still have the option to play the game as originally intended using the Joycon’s motion controls, Nintendo have also added button controls for those who plan to play Skyward Sword HD in handheld mode, or are buying it for the Nintendo Switch Lite. With this mode, using the right stick will allow you to control the direction of the sword, doing vertical, horizontal and even diagonal strikes.

Naturally, it also has improved textures and resolution for playing it on the Nintendo Switch.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was the last mainline title released on Nintendo systems before the announcement of Breath of the Wild, which was originally suppsoed to be on the Wii U.
Despite being one of the newer Zelda titles, it’s also one of the earliest in the chronology of the game, making it fairly important for Zelda fans who want to play all the Zelda games.

The headset model number is ATH-WS660BT-ARK, presumably the special edition of the regular ATH-WS660BT. You can pre-order it at 900 Chinese Yuan (~ USD 140), with a slight discount at 810 Chinese Yuan (~ USD 127) on 11 November for a limited time. You may find the regular ATH-WS660BT at ~ USD 86 instead on storefronts like Amazon.
The official weibo post can be found here, and does not immediately indicate its availability through an online storefront. The headset is emblazoned with both the Rhodes Island logo and audio-technica’s with gold highlights, and can be used either wireless or wired. It also comes with an illustration featuring Rosmontis and Amiya, though the box itself looks pretty ordinary, besides its embellishments.

For fellow “doctors” who wish to obtain this headset for themselves, expect to find a proxy to get this shipped to you as per usual. It might be a little unusual to not find this available on an online storefront unlike other Arknights merchandise collaborations such as its clothing lines, but perhaps the price and relatively niche target audience justifies that decision.

Goken Review – A good old action-packed RPG

Seeking to bring back everything that was right about RPG gaming in an action-packed open world, Goken is now available on Steam. Thanks to GIANTY Inc., we are lucky to be able to try out the game so here is our Goken review.

Introduction
The game tells the story about Edge (name changeable), a swordsman who wields the 5 swords forged by God himself. Edge brought peace and order to the world, but one day, his blade turn against the Gods for reasons unknown. As the result, he was sealed away by Ozone (one of the Gods) at the top of a mountain – Swords Peak.

After 5,000 years, he was released by a young girl from the nearby mountain village – Cardina. Together with the help of the young girl and the others, he embarks on his journey to recover the swords.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Gameplay
Its combat is pretty simple, it only uses 2 primary attack buttons where you can assign different weapons to it for different combo. However, you will have only 1 weapon at the beginning hours so you may want to progress the story faster for another weapon. You can perform 3 hit attacks (using stamina) with a chance of a special attack on the third hit.

As you progress, you will face different monsters, bosses and situation that requires a different way to approach. When you got your main and secondary weapon in hand, you will be to swap them freely during the battle to match your strategy.
Every weapon is upgradeable, but collecting the materials required is not an easy task (we will talk about this later). You can also use up a portion of your stamina to dash (or dodge) to avoid attacks or use it more wisely – to travel faster on the huge map.

Since it is an RPG, of course you can upgrade your character. As you level up, you will obtain “Ink” where you can use them to get tattoos. According to how you make your tattoos, it will have a unique design and different bonus on character stats (you won’t be able to see it on your character tho). There is some special “Ink” with a bigger bonus too, and they are only obtainable through exploring or purchase.

Graphics and Audio
The art style is stunning with Japanese anime style of backdrop and good looking 3D models. Every area is detailed and having their distinct look. There are weather changes too, which is awesome as you could experience the different scenes such as snowy mountains and rainy lush woods.

For the audio, each area and each boss fight is having their unique soundtrack and it impressed me. However the sound effects are quite of uncoordinated, some of them seem to be having a much larger volume compared to the others (especially when you go near the waterfront).
Pros
Graphics are good, its soundtrack is extraordinarily great. Aside from the main story, you can explore the open world all you want and even continue to travel around after the main story ends.

Its combat is simple yet challenging, as there are different monsters and bosses that have their unique way to attack, you will need to find different ways to encounter them. Not to mention the creative Tattoo system where you can customize it with your style.
Cons
The material drop rate in Goken is undoubtedly one of its downsides. You will need to grind an area for a long period in order to collect all the materials required (to upgrade weapons). But for the bright side, you will level up and eventually become over-powered. Materials are purchasable from the stores too, however it is expensive and limited.
Also, you will need to travel around a lot in Goken but the character movement is a bit slow. This makes me feel the urge to dash my way to the destination and thus, I am always having low stamina for fights. I get lost quite frequently in the huge map too as there is no clear instruction on where to go next.

Aside from the minor balancing issue, Goken is actually worth to spend your time even just on exploring and experience the beautiful sceneries. It is a game where I think every ARPG fans would be enjoying it. Goken is now available on Steam for RM31 (or $19.99).
