Time Pact – A New Harem Mobile RPG by X-Legend

Time Pact is a mobile RPG by X-Legend and they have just announced it recently that it will be coming soon. The game is filled with only female characters which would attract mostly guys (of course) and in the Japanese market. With their success on PC online titles like Aura Kingdom, Grand Fantasia and Twin Saga, the Taiwan developer is looking for success in the mobile market now.

The game features co-op gameplay and boss raids but there were no revelation on how the gameplay would look like. With many other popular mobile RPGs in the mobile market right now, the storyline is cliche as players will be time travelling into dimensions on a mission to save the world. Nonetheless, there’s much info yet to be revealed for Time Pact to get a spot in the popular mobile RPG genre.

Record of Grancrest War by Bandai Namco For PS4 and Mobile!

Just yesterday, Bandai Namco held their “Record of Grancrest War Game Live-Stream“ on YouTube which showcased the game’s systems and gameplay for both the PlayStation 4 AND Mobile platform! Pre-registration for the game has also begun for the mobile version which rewards players up to 1x 4 Star Character – SShiruga and 250 Gems when they hit 70,000 pre-registers!

Check out their official mobile trailer below:

The mobile title will be an action RPG which kind of resembles Final Fantasy XV: Pocket Edition. However instead of having all your teammates fight alongside you, you control a single character which is interchangeable during mid-battles. In addition, there’s a system where you can also summon all of them together on the battlefield to fight with you when the Quartet bar is filled. The Quartet bar fills each time you attack.

Check out their official PS4 trailer below:

While the PS4 version will be a more strategic gameplay where players need to lead their armies’ pathing towards the enemies to fight. Kind of like a mashup of Sid Meier’s Civilization or Rome: Total War where you also need to conquer the battlefield and maps. However players will be able to control the main characters to lead the army in war based on the campaign story mode – like Dynasty Warriors.

The PS4 version is expected to be released on the 14th of June while there was no official date announced yet for the mobile version. However players can already pre-register on their official site for the mobile version. Don’t miss out!

Hit video game Among Us is getting an official Japanese manga adaptation in the Bessatsu CoroCoro Comic monthly magazine. CoroCoro Comic is a monthly magazine in Japan aimed at children, famed for its manga properties such as Doraemon and Pokémon. However, considering the immense popularity of Among Us, it won’t be a surprise to see the demand for the magazine going up overseas.

Nexon might end up on Disney’s hands

Keep your heads up as Disney may soon be taking the world of gaming by storm with an acquisition of Nexon, a gaming giant in South Korea which is much known for its MapleStory titles.

According to The Korea Herald, the chairman of Nexon, Kim Jung-ju was apparently looking to sell off his and his wife’s stake of 15 trillion won ($13.2 billion) in the company since January.

Since then, a number of companies have showed up to take Nexon off the chairman’s hand with a shortlist of Kakao, MBK Partners with Netmarble, Tencent, Bain capital and an undisclosed foreign establishment.

However, Disney seems to have a special spot in Chairman’s heart as it was said that the NXC Chairman personally approached a high-ranking Disney representative to strike off a deal.

It’s unsure why Disney would be interested in Nexon but it could be that Disney wishes to expand its market on the mobile platform or there could be other thing as well.
For now, the two parties have yet to disclose any information regarding the acquisition. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know down the comments.

An action-packed RPG – Tales of Thorn will be live on Android this week

Do you like ARPG? If you like APRG, this game might worth for a try! Launching on Android stores soon, Tales of Thorn is an ARPG by Wanda Cinemas Games featuring gorgeous visuals, exhilarating battles, massive gear loots and advanced character progression.

Taking the unusual route, Tales of Thorn don’t have a class or occupation system. Instead, you can choose from a great variety of weapons (all with their unique skill) and form your own battle style using the various skill combinations. There is no target lock-on system, which means you can combine the powers of your weapons to unleash different combos more freely. Besides, attacking a player from back deals double damage so auto-battling is much more an unpreferable choice now.

The game features a balanced arena system, where both high and low-level players have been recalibrated to ensure a more competitive and fair duel gameplay. Therefore, your control skill and combat strategies matter more than the gear and character attributes. You can also customize your character with hundreds of outfits.

Tales of Thorn will be available on Google Play Store at 28th September. At the meantime, you can pre-register the game by following the link below. For more information or latest updates, you can visit their official Facebook page.

Lineage II: Revolution pre-registration up

Even though Netmarble Games did not officially announce the pre-registration stage for the worldwide English version of Lineage II: Revolution, you can actually sign up ahead of time via the Google Play page. The Google Play page will purportedly localise the game accordingly to where you are located geographically, so the game is available to us in English, while players in Taiwan will be playing the game in Chinese.

We are no sure if the Google Play pre-registration page is the intended or official pre-registration link which the developers want us to sign up with, but this seems to be the only one available for the moment. As there has yet to be an official announcement, you can perhaps expect a new one to be introduced in the coming months just prior to the global release.

Dungeon Chronicle – A Diablo-Like ARPG On Android!

If you loved the Diablo series, Dungeon Chronicle is a game to try. The game was just recently released by BUNKERim Studio and it offers some Diablo or Torchlight gameplays where you run around exploring dungeons and collecting loot!

Just like Diablo’s Rift System, Dungeon Chronicle’s dungeons are endless. You will have to fight through different floors of dungeons and get better loots as you progress further. Like in Diablo or Torchlight, you can equip more than 1 weapon on your character. Instead of the traditional 2 weapons only, you can equip up to 3 weapons in Dungeon Chronicle which is interchangeable during combat with a simple tap on the icon.

If you love scouring for weapons and armors, you’d love this game as the weapon and armor system in the game will drop with random stats. You’ll hunt for the “best” weapons and armor in the game as you conquer every floor of the dungeon. However because this is a free game, the game will occasionally run advertisements which will only appear between floors. Of course, if you love the game and would like to support the developer, you can pay a small amount of money to disable the Ads.

There are also costumes which can be bought with the premium currency for your characters that also comes with some buff. If you can’t afford to buy the premium currency, you can actually earn them by watching Ads too!

Blizzard games to suspend service in China as NetEase licensing agreement expires

Via BusinessWire, most Blizzard Entertainment games will suspend their services in China, which were published through NetEase. The games affected include World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, Warcraft III: Reforged, Overwatch, the Starcraft games, Diablo III and Heroes of the Storm.

The licensing agreement between Blizzard and NetEase for game publishing in China began in 2008, but the parties have since not come to a deal to renew the partnership, set to expire 23 January 2023. As such, new sales will be suspended in the coming days, with more details for Chinese players to follow. That said, the release of expansions and updates – namely, World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, Hearthstone: March of the Lich King, season 2 of Overwatch 2 – will still proceed.

It’s worth mentioning that the service for Diablo: Immortal in China has not been affected due to a separate co-development and publishing deal between Blizzard and NetEase.
“We’re immensely grateful for the passion our Chinese community has shown throughout the nearly 20 years we’ve been bringing our games to China through NetEase and other partners. Their enthusiasm and creativity inspire us, and we are looking for alternatives to bring our games back to players in the future.”

Mike Ybarra, President, Blizzard Entertainment
When it comes to developing / publishing games in China, there is strict due process in order for games to make it into the country. This can run the whole lengthy gamut of getting the game approved by the government, having a partner within China who can publish it for you, if the government hasn’t frozen approvals to enable the start of the vetting process to even begin with. You can read about Neon Doctrine’s CCO, Co-Founder Vladyslav Tsypljak’s personal experience about that here.

With the news, it would seem that NetEase’s stock is dropping – as much as 10% – and potentially even more as the day continues. Whether or not the companies will manage to strike another agreement before the expiration is one thing; gamers and investors would surely be wondering if someone else will be up to the task, and how potentially disruptive any transition period could be.

An interview with Manuel “Grubby” Schenkhuizen for current meta game on Warcraft III

With the announcement of Warcraft III: Reforged, players around the world are very excited about the game. Our friends at Wanuxi have an interview with Manuel “Grubby” Schenkhuizen to talk about the current META in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. In this piece of interview, Grubby will be sharing a lot of insights and match-up comparisons for the game.

Hi guys and girls, my name is Manuel Schenkhuizen a.k.a. Grubby and I am a former professional gamer in WarCraft III and StarCraft II. I transitioned to becoming a full-time streamer and content producer on Twitch and YouTube and I have worked part-time as a commentator. I live in the Netherlands with my wife and golden retriever.

So far on patch 1.30 WC3TFT, in your opinion what is the strongest race (for 1v1)?
After 1.29 and 1.30 patches, Night Elf received about 13 buffs to early game and their main strategy.

+1 intelligence to Keeper
125 -> 100 mana to Force of Nature on Keeper
+2s duration on Entangle to Keeper
2x healing speed on Tranquility, half duration, 3s inv on Tranquility on Keeper
Increase Huntress damage +1
Increase Archer HP
Glaive +39% damage
Increase Moonwell mana regeneration
Increase Ancient Protector attack speed
Increase PotM attack damage
Increase Alchemist Acidbomb Damage, increase Alchemist Transmute gold gain
Huntress Sentinel vision research by default
Huntress Glaive damage upgrade at Tier 2

Especially points 1, 2, 3, 7 and 11 are proving very strong and restrict other races’ play style and ability to be on the map. Because of this, Night Elf starts every game with a virtually safe Tree of Life that is built before or after the 1st unit, and can either mass units and win off that, or tech and get Alchemist to heal hurt Huntresses. I am hoping for a balance patch soon (writing this as of 28 November 2018).

After Night Elf’s domination, ORC & UD kind of share 2nd place in my opinion. ORC is better vs UD & ORC, but UD does better vs HUM & NE. So they both have two good match-ups. HUM does alright vs ORC, but struggles against Keeper mass T1 and its transition to Mountain Giants, and UD is still powerful vs HUM, especially after T1 expansion from HUM is nerfed a bit, and Defend upgrade is nerfed because of Quality of Life fix. However, Riflemen are stronger, so Rifle Casters are back in all match-ups. This is nice, because it’s a very fun strategy to watch, play, and play against.
In one of your videos, you actually mentioned that UD is currently the weakest race, can you elaborate more on that?
Actually at this time I think HUM is weakest, but it’s also possible that I think so because Europe has very few strong HUM players. Probably if I played against TH000, Infi, Romantic or one of those guys, I may have a different feeling. Actually, I play every race these days, so I would learn more HUM from watching them play, haha.

Recently we see Alchemist being picked more frequently, why is he being picked so often compared to other neutral heroes?
There are many reasons for this. In 1.28, Alchemist was mostly only picked in the meta for Acid Bomb’s passive effect. You’d see him in ORC vs HUM on Melting Valley as a 3rd Hero after both players secured at least one expansion. HUM would be playing Mountain King + Paladin and mass Air, and ORC would be playing Blademaster + Shadow Hunter, a few ground units and mass Batriders. Alchemist would help the Batriders to inflict more damage on the Gryphons and Dragonhawks. The second ability would be Chemical Rage.
In 1.29, Healing Spray no longer heals enemy units, so it’s safer to use it in mid-fight. Additionally, Acid Bomb’s damage was buffed. It is incredible that Acid Bomb, in addition to its armor debuff effect and its splash damage, even has more single-target damage than Storm Bolt. A lot of players on the ladder are getting used to Alchemist’s strength and misusing his ability by simply throwing Acid Bomb on single targets. I’ll split my Grunt away and easily dodge the AOE, but the damage of Acid Bomb is still significant. For only 75 mana, it should not deal 125 damage and have such strong additional bonus effects.
Screenshot from Grubby’s Youtube
Finally, Alchemist is the only Tavern Hero that heals. As such, he fills a very important role. Especially now that HUM is looking for 2nd Heroes that can help heal their Rifle Caster army, Alchemist does a better job than Paladin in healing, and he sometimes deals more damage than Mountain King – although Thunderclap is still good and unique.
Can you tell us the pro and cons of getting 1 hero vs 2 heroes vs getting 3 heroes?
When you go for technical units that rely on a critical mass to be effective, going for 1 Hero can be a good solution. For example, if you have 8 Bat Riders against 8 Dragonhawks, you have a good chance of losing the fight hard, if all Bats get disabled by Hawks. Or, you can win the fight, if all Bats explode on the Hawks. However, if you have 10 Bats against 8 Hawks, you’ll win the engagement every time, because each Bat frees another and you get consecutive explosions. If you only have Gold and Food availability to get 10 Bats by going just 1 Hero, then 1 Hero is the correct choice.
Screenshot from Grubby’s Youtube
The same comparison can be made by Wind Riders. Wind Riders, as a fragile but high damage unit, rely on quickly hit & running. Certain amount of Wind Riders will 1-shot an enemy unit, so you want to make sure to overwhelm an opponent as fast as possible when using Wind Riders. That’s why sometimes you’ll want to play 1-hero when doing Wind Riders. Because 1 Hero will lack inventory items, you’ll sell more items which you find. This is perfect, anyway, because massing quick Wind Riders requires a lot of gold. It’s important to never stop producing, once you start, because Wind Riders have such obvious counters. You don’t have a lot of time.
In most other (non-air) strategies, going a minimum of two Heroes is advisable. As Orc, you generally only get 3 Heroes when Tier 3 holds a necessary technology, such as Lightning Orb vs Undead, or Taurens vs mass Mountain Giants. You’d also prefer to get 3rd Hero on bigger maps. Because on Echo Isles, it will be hard to even train up the 3rd Hero to level 2.
For Undead, you always get 3 Heroes, almost no exceptions.
For Night Elf, 3 Heroes are important when going mass Druids of the Talon, because you need more tanking Heroes to protect the Talons. Night elf will also need 3 Heroes to counter Siege Engines, by getting Panda 3rd with Breath of Fire.
For Human, 3 Heroes are incredibly powerful, they should like to pick up a Paladin 3rd any chance they get, but it only happens when T3 is reached naturally. Oftentimes Human will be losing or winning before T3.

For new players which race will be easier for them to pick up to learn the game?
The easiest race in 1.30.2 is Night Elf, playing with Keeper of the Grove, 2 Ancient of War Huntresses and switch into Archers when necessary. Taking an early expansion and simultaneously pressuring an opponent. Switch to Glaive Throwers if the opponent turtles up and defends only in their own base, or if they make Unarmored units (Caster Units, Dryads, Huntresses). T2 upgrade for Glaive Throwers is very important, it makes it so that they never miss. I think this upgrade is bugged?
The second easiest race is Orc. Blademaster has a lot of natural strength, try to find some good + stat items on him. Farseer is also strong, and allows for easier scouting with Wolves and the Wolves also give bonus army size.
The hardest is probably UD, there is a lot of necessary knowledge as UD strategy entirely revolves around timings, and countering an opponent. Without the knowledge that an experienced player possesses, UD players will feel like their army and Heroes are simply less effective than opponents. They are probably best off playing strategies revolving around Necromancers and Wagons. This is an easy and slow strategy that holds a lot of power, and best of all, once you are ready to fight, auto-cast will summon legions of armies that the player simply has to attack the enemy with.

For WC3:R, do you think it is better for Blizzard to revamp or enhance unit controls (like getting more than 12 units in 1 squad, or heroes abilities are binded to QWER), or keeping it just like the originals? What kind of changes you are hoping to see (if there are any)?

On 12-units Control Groups

Although as a professional player, I do not need more units per group than 12, I believe if we want to attract and maintain a larger player base (and I do want that), going up to 14, 16 or 18 units per group is a nice concession to make. It will provide easier control for beginning players. Although I think unlimited control groups in custom maps is okay, to have it in multiplayer melee would be a mistake, because of three reasons.

It dumbs down unit control just a bit too much. Too many players will learn the wrong way, to put all units & Heroes in 1 group and leave it at that. Although I will have already learnt “the best way”, to split army across 3 groups based on range or damage type, I might’ve learnt the wrong way if unlimited control was an option. For example, in SC2, too many players used 1-group control and All-Army Hotkey (F2 or F8) to move around the map. You could correctly argue that better players will still learn to split, but the temptation to make it easy for yourself is just very real.
The UI cannot accommodate infinite units. So Blizzard would have to create a paging system like in SC2. This is slow and unintuitive to use. It could be possible to have an army of Shamans and Witch Doctors in 1 group, and have not a single Witch Doctor show up on “Page 1” of the UI. You’d have to click a small Page [2], and then see the Doctors’ health. I think this is not nice.
It diverges too far from the spirit of Warcraft III’s original roots. Small concessions, instead of huge ones, is better to maintain the feel of the game.

QWER

This is already permitted through customkeys.txt though it is hard and takes long to set up. New Hotkey system will be in-client, and probably allow for QWER easily by importing settings or maybe a default function.
Which 1v1 map is your favourite and why?
I like Twisted Meadows, the map holds a lot of opportunities because it is big. I like long and unpredictable games.

Do you have any advice to the players who wanted to play this game competitively?
Now is a great time to start playing. With the promise of Reforged coming in 2019, pick up WC3 now and play through the wonderful Campaign missions from Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne. Experience the storyline that leads into World of Warcraft, how Arthas got corrupted and why Illidan was set free. There are going to be a lot more ladder players on Battle.net before and after Reforged launches, so sinking one’s teeth into the Multiplayer Melee experience is going to be challenging and a fun journey of self-improvement. The custom maps scene for WC3 has always been amazing, so if you are looking to just have plain fun, custom maps will be a nice relaxing change.
To learn more about the game, check out the overexplain section on my YouTube channel: Grubby’s YouTube Overexplain games. I’ve also added Base Layout Tutorials for every race, and will be uploading more guides for beginning WC3 players, so check out http://youtube.com/followgrubby or come say hi on http://twitch.tv/followgrubby.
Any words for Malaysian fans?
I feel a great connection with Malaysia. We’ve been to Malaysia a few times for holidays. It truly is a beautiful country, and the people are generally kind and hospitable. My father comes from Indonesia, so I recognize the food and language everywhere. It feels great to be there. My wife and I also got married in Malaysia, because it is so special to us. Please come say hi some time in my Twitch channel, I’d like to meet fans from Malaysia ^^

During the RGG Summit 2022 event when they showed the teaser trailer of Like a Dragon Gaiden The Man Who Erased His Name, there wasn’t much information about the game other than the little tidbits of information that we had gathered up during the session with voice actor Takaya Kuroda who voices Kiryu Kazuma. One of the nugget of information about this title is that the game will be an action adventure genre and that the overall length of the game will be slightly longer than what we’ve seen from the Lost Judgement: Kaito Files.

Nintendo Switch upgrade could be arriving September (updated: 31 May 2021)

The arguably long awaited Nintendo Switch upgrade may be releasing as soon as September or October 2021, according to Bloomberg’s sources. Assembly for the Nintendo Switch upgrade is slated for July, with the official announcement possibly coming ahead of E3 that will start 12 June. It’s possible that the console’s starting price will also be higher, as shortages in semiconductors have affected supplies for just about everything in tech. The older Switch model will gradually be phased out as the upgrade gets sold alongside its Lite counterpart.

As the Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X continues to face supply issues, it remains to be seen how Nintendo will be able to meet consumer demand. Bloomberg notes Nintendo President, Shuntaro Furukawa, having said the company hadn’t been able to produce as many units as it liked, as demand for the console remains high.

The original Switch model got a refresh with a larger battery, and otherwise was mostly unchanged. The upgrade will supposedly carry a 7-inch Samsung OLED display and faster NVIDIA graphics silicon, enabling 4K output when docked to a TV. It’s probably too much to expect it will carry the same power of its larger home console brethren, but any tangible performance upgrade will be a welcome one at this point.

New images have surfaced to give an idea of what the supposed Nintendo Switch Pro will look like:

It’ll supposedly have a new dock design, with a bigger OLED screen thanks to thinner bezels, while keeping the original’s dimensions. The dock will have two USB 3.0 ports, and ethernet port, while also having support for the current model’s Joy-Cons. The price is apparently going to be roughly $300, to be revealed at E3 2021.

Log Horizon browser game moves to mobile

The Log Horizon browser game on GREE, creatively named New Adventures of Log Horizon, will become available on mobile devices. The game is a turn based RPG which sees players form and grow their guild, with a storyline and mechanics that follows closely to “the land of Elder-tale” to be able to include all the races into the game. As you progress, you’ll be able to collect the other characters, as you might expect. The gacha system is primarily to get weapons for your characters.

New Adventures of Log Horizon does not appear to be changing anything for its mobile release, so if any one who’s played the browser version can expect the same thing, just that you may no longer need a VPN to access the game through your browser.

Tales of Crestoria First Impressions – A stunning turn based JRPG mobile game!

Tales of Crestoria has finally been launched globally and its safe to say that both fans of the series and newcomers would enjoy this Mobile Game that is available for both Android and iOS.

Here are some of the first impressions when starting off this game.

Tales of Crestoria kicks off strong with a stunning opening animation done by the famous Wit Studio, who are also known for working on previous anime titles such as Vinland Saga and Seraph of the End.
Opening Animation by Wit Studio
Once the opening animations is done, the game then begins the optional tutorial while your game downloads the rest of the files. It is certainly nice to see the amount of detail and care they put in with the majority of the game being fully voiced over by the Japanese Voice Actors and Actresses.

The tutorial begins with Kanata, an enthusiastic young lad who inspires to be a great hero under the guidance of his mentor Cress. The game will then teach you the basic stuff that you’ll need to take note of, such as element affinities.
Screenshot of tutorial
Unlike the previous entries of the Tales series games where the combat system was more free-styled, Tales of Crestoria offers players a turn-based combat system with some of the skills having turn-based cool downs.
In game screenshot
During combat, players are greeted with top notch voice overs as well as pretty 3D combat animations. The combat for Tales of Crestoria is slightly different from other turn-based RPG is that there is a gamplay mechanic which has this build-up system where players would normally want to align their character’s attacks where their weakest attacks would go first to slowly build up damage for their biggest attacks since their last attack would end off dealing the most amounts of damage.
Once the tutorial is done, the game then switches over to the main menu screen.
Screenshot of main menu screen
At first glance, the main menu seems neatly organised with the main features all at the bottom with bigger icons sizes than the rest to attract the player’s attention. I would like to take a moment of your time to express my gratitude to the game’s sound direction. Both the main menu background music as well as the icon selection sounds are super crisp and smooth. All of these are also accompanied by the beautiful background scenery and the featured character of your choice!
Other than the main story as well as the character side stories, the game also offers various of game modes like Arena battles where players climb the rank and earn rewards from their rank standings.
Arena battle
A CO-OP PvE game mode in the form of Raid Battles where players can join up with other players online to battle strong raid bosses for rewards.
Raid Battle
Another game mode is the Phantom Tower, a scaling difficulty PvE content where the floors gets harder and harder throughout your climb. The Phantom Tower also gives out rewards to players that complete the tower within a time limit of one month. After the time limit is up, the rewards will then be changed to another set of rewards.
Phantom Tower
Players are then brought over to the summoning screen and are given a choice to free summon one unit from a pool of characters, some new and some returning favorites from the previous Tale games. And yes, even SSR rarity characters are included in the pool.
Free guaranteed roll
On the topic of summoning. The game offer a 5% SSR drop rate for the majority of the banners with some exceptions which is considered to be very generous in comparison to other gatcha games titles.
Once that is done, player are then given the freedom to progress through the main story mode of the game.
The story missions so far don’t prove to be a challenge since majority of the time you can just let the game go through Auto-Mode and you’ll be just fine. Although, don’t be fooled because the game has some challenging trials in the form of Arena battles as well as the Phantom Towers which can be unlocked through progressing the Story mode.
Through the first impressions, Tales of Crestoria is definitely worth trying out for players who are fan of the franchise as well as players who are looking for a decent gacha mobile game!

[ TGS 2022 ] Like A Dragon: Ishin Demo Impressions – RGG’s Only One Man Ever (In A Good Way)

Like A Dragon: Ishin has not seen a worldwide release, until the most recent announcements unveiling its remake that will finally make it available outside of Japan. A demo was available at Tokyo Game Show 2022, so one was naturally inclined to get a totally rad session in.

TAKE THAT!
So, how much do you dig the concept of the Yakuza series, but featuring samurai?

The demo gave us the chance to play the night mode, for a taste of the combat. Similarly to the mainline Yakuza series, there are four styles to use: sword, gun, sword AND gun, and neither where you use good ol’ fists. A “card system” is applied to your troops, which in turn unlock special abilities that run the gamut of reducing cooldowns for other cards, healing, or firing a legally distinct Kamehameha. Combat in general feels incredibly tight; I’m sure you won’t be surprised that the sword + gun style has won at least one heart.

Thank the heavens that RGG will finally bring over Ishin, because the world needs samurai Yakuza. Not-Kiryu and Not-Majima are playing “roles” in this Bakumatsu era, which plays into the studio’s strength. The Yakuza cast are incredibly iconic, with the mainline games’ themes of loyalty and camaraderie also present in Ishin, with the alleged-isekai offering a chance to see them in a different setting. It’s just fun, that’s what it comes down to.
As Sakamoto Ryoma, the demo led us to stalk a bounty in the night to reach them before other members of the Sixth Division do. “Random” encounters can occur when you bump into people, with the other option being simply rushing right away to the boss. The gun (pistol)/sword stance feels like the studio’s subtle nudge as the best combination, due to its incredible versatility. This combo grants you a moveset with a really good dodge and the ability to shoot downed opponents, as the sword has no such “finisher” option.

The demo caps off with an intense bossfight. Don’t overly keep those cards too close to yourself as you WILL need to use those troop cards to make it through the battle, whether it be healing up or firing off attacks when they’re vulnerable.
I’VE GOT IT!
I’m sure some people would think a Yakuza game with a different skin would make it sound “bad”, but as mentioned, RGG are just that good at it. It’s not really a mainline game, while still having kinda familiar characters, which only makes it a perfect entry to the Yakuza series without getting overwhelmed by the number of other releases available. There’s no need to debate which game to start with: pick up Ishin, and go from there.

Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher Lets You Raise Ultraman Monsters

Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia and Koei Tecmo have announced Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher for the Nintendo Switch, with a launch date planned for later this year 2022.

The title is a collaboration between the Ultra Kaiju, which appear in the legendary Ultraman tokusatsu series, and the monster-breeding simulation title, Monster Rancher, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2022.

The game is an Ultra Kaiju breeding simulation game, that uses the Monster Rancher series as its base but instead of raising whatever Suezo is supposed to be, you’ll be raising your very own Ultra Kaiju, be it an Alien Baltan, Zetton, or Gomora.
Follow us on Twitter

and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

You do this by selecting from a range of actions each week, including feeding them, assigning them training drills, and sending them on missions with rival kaiju. At the ranch where you raise your Ultra Kaiju, you will have the opportunity to observe the creature’s behavior up close in a way that original works do not allow.

In tournaments, your Kaiju will face off against rivals in battles where they will roar, grapple and shoot the same way they do in the movies.
Battles in the game are likewise based on the Monster Rancher combat system. The attacks available will depend on the distance between your Kaiju and its opponent. Use can set drills to raise your Kaiju’s stats and learn new moves through Errantry to help you dominate the arena.

If this isn’t enough you also have the option to fuse two Kaiju together. There are over 200 different monsters available in the game meaning there’s a lot of replayability for someone who wants to see them all.
The final part of this kaiju breeding game is the actual breeding part. So how do you find your kaiju a partner? Well, you use a feature called the Song Search function to play songs that will generate a new Ultra Kaiju. This involves scanning NFC-enabled devices or items such as transport ID cards with the Switch joy cons.
The game reads your ID card data using NFC and uses it to generate a Kaiju. Different data produces different Kaiju, so you will never know what you are going to get.
Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher will be available for Nintendo Switch later this year. For more information on the game, check out the official website.

Pikamee Graduation Was Not Because Of Harassment But Actually Planned Long Ago- VOMS Project

A new video by VOMS Project creator Gyari has revealed that Pikamee was always going to have her graduation at the end of March, and was not actually a result of the harassment.

In the video, translated on YouTube by clipper Yura, Gyari explains that the graduation of Pikamee was actually decided “a long time ago”, saying that it was already factored into the negotiations of the VOMS PARK pop up shop with Marui.

“The fact that she would graduate was decided a long time ago”, he says. “Then, while we were in negotiations with Marui (the partner of the pop up store), we had a meeting where we informed them of it in an apologetic manner”.
“When we told them [about the graduation] Marui was like ‘If it’s a positive graduation then there is no issue!‘”, he says.

Pikamee’s graduation couldn’t have come at a worse time- the streamer went on hiatus for almost a month following harassment over playing Hogwarts Legacy, which many assumed was the cause.
Due to many boycotting Hogwarts Legacy over JK Rowling’s transphobic views (and the alleged ‘reason’ for the harassment), some people had taken news of the Vtuber’s retirement as open season that transphobia was suddenly acceptable behavior (It’s not).
While the answer might prove unsatisfactory to some, it looks like this really was just a case of a fairly normal business relationship- Pikamee wanted to quit, and it just so happens the last major thing before she announced it was a harassment-inducing controversy.

DBFZ Finally Gets Rollback Netcode, To Celebration By Dragon Ball Fans

The developers of Dragon Ball FighterZ (DBFZ) have announced that the game will be getting the fan-requested rollback netcode update, improving the game’s online infrastructure.

No release date has been given for the update to DBFZ, though that hasn’t stopped the internet from celebrating what was previously thought of as an impossible dream.
For context, fans had been requesting rollback for DBFZ for years- the nature of its current Delay-based state made online matches near-unplayable, as mechanics like the game’s Super Dashes became almost unreactable.
However, despite huge fan request, the game’s publisher, Bandai Namco Entertainment had never responded, instead only breaking the news that it had been in testing today.
Fans have taken to Twitter to celebrate the momentous occasion for the game, with conventional wisdom sayin you can expect a healthier playerbase now that the online works.
“Rollback alone just birthed a new age of DBFZz and playerbase they have NO idea“, says pro player SonicFox.
Meanwhile, the community celebrated the victory with memes, declaring the “Rollback for DBFZ” pitch no longer a pipe dream.

From the looks of it, the game seems to be a turn-based RPG where you create a party of characters with cute 3D Chibi models to fight enemies and bosses. While the characters are chibi in the game, they also come with full-body art which can be viewed on the website.

Not only that, the story will look to be supplemented with cutscenes of the characters which would definitely help in emphasizing the heroes within the story and deliver a much more impactful narrative.

Lee Ying Foo Makes Game Industry’s 100 Game Changers

It’s always a joy to cover Malaysians doing extraordinary work, as is the case with Lee Ying Foo, co-founder of Women in Games Hangout (WigOut). For her work in creating an inclusive space for women and under represented groups, Foo has been listed as part of GameIndustry.Biz’s GI 100 Gamechangers for 2020.

Foo told GameIndustry.biz that her work with WigOut was about challenging a lot of the stigma around queer identities, as well as challenging public perceptions of what a game developer “should” look like.
“When I first entered the industry, I felt like I didn’t belong as a woman and a queer person, and for years I always thought that I was the problem. After speaking to other folks, I realized that they felt the same way, and when you see other people having to deal with the same issues, you really start to draw a line”, she says.\
WigOut would have frequent meetups, allowing women and marginalized identities to have a place to support each other
Foo added that while WigOut was focused on empowering marginalized identities, they weren’t in the business of tokenism. Instead, Foo says they would work to make sure women would actually be included.
“While there’s been a bigger push for diversity in recent years, there’s also the danger of tokenism,” she continues. “People may talk about ‘women in games’ once a year, and celebrate that, but if there’s no concrete action for making women feel more welcomed and safe in the industry, it’s just a box-ticking exercise”.
This year’s GI 100 Gamechangers profiled individuals for their work in diversity, accessibility, charity, mental health, progressive politics, lifting emerging markets and uniting communities. You can read the full list of profiles over on their website.

Soul Tide begins accepting pre-registrations for Japan release

As previously announced, Soul Tide will be launching in Japan, with a planned release during the “first half of 2022”.

Pre-registrations are now available, with milestone rewards going up to 500,000 players, offering the usual currency and a free unit.

As the story seems to go, you take on the role of “summoner”, summoning souls as “dolls” in order to explore this labyrinthian “labyrinth”. Conquer the “labyrinth” and uncover the secrets of a witch who had plunged the world into war. Witches and humans have always been at odds, and it would seem like the witches have won, trapping the humans. Nonetheless, the player is able to summon lost souls to explore outside of their dimension. What secrets wait to be discovered?

Aside from the story itself, the pretty much standard gameplay mechanics are present. The website gives a preview of the exploration that looks like a board game, and a dorm system where the dolls reside as cute chibis. If you’re in for the voice actors, Mai Nakahara, Rina Sato, Yukari Fukui, Mariya Ise, Kaori Nazuka and Rie Takahashi are just some of them.

PlayStation Claims That Microsoft’s “True Strategy” Is To Make Them Like Nintendo

The discourse between Microsoft and PlayStation over the acquisition of Activision-Blizzard continues with a new statement from Sony saying that Microsoft’s true strategy is to make them like Nintendo.

According to VGC, PlayStation believes that Microsoft wishes for them to not compete in the “18-rated shooter space” much like how Nintendo doesn’t buy acquiring the rights to Call of Duty.

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

This is a counter to a response from Microsoft submitted to the UK regulator the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). Microsoft said that other large gaming competitors like Nintendo were able to find success in the gaming market without access to Call of Duty. Sony argues however that this will give Xbox too much dominance over the FPS market.
“Microsoft claims that Nintendo’s differentiated model demonstrates that PlayStation doesn’t need Call of Duty to compete effectively. But this reveals Microsoft’s true strategy. Microsoft wants PlayStation to become like Nintendo so that it would be a less close and effective competitor to Xbox”.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

“Post-Transaction, Xbox would become the one-stop-shop for all the best-selling shooter franchises on console (Call of Duty, Halo, Gears of War, + Doom, Overwatch), as the Decision explains, and it would then be free from serious competitive pressure”.
Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision-Blizzard has been approved by regulators in both Saudi Arabia and Brazil but is still being investigated by the CMA in the UK.
Interestingly, as part of their CMA response, Microsft actually said Nintendo had a wider range of Mature titles than Xbox did. They cited the many ports of 18-rated games like Doom and Nier Automata that have come to the Switch as well as exclusives like Bayonetta 3 and Shin Megami Tensei V.
“Nintendo offers a broader range of mature content than Xbox: The CMA has mischaracterized the Nintendo Switch as being predominantly for families. Such a characterization neglects the fact that more mature/adult games are available on the Switch and are actively marketed, including on Switch’s YouTube channel. These games include Apex Legends, The Witcher 3, Doom Eternal, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, Cult of the Lamb, NieR: Automata The End of YoRHa Edition, Alan Wake Remastered, Crysis Remastered, Outlast, Little Nightmares, Five Nights at Freddy’s and Life is Strange.”
“Recent Switch exclusives have received mature ratings: Several of Nintendo Switch’s latest exclusives have been distinctly non “family-friendly” games. Bayonetta 3, a third-party action game by Platinum Games, was rated as Mature by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (“ESRB”) for violence, blood and gore, partial nudity, and strong language. Likewise, third-party exclusive Shin Megami Tensei V, released in November last year, was rated Mature by the ESRB for blood, partial nudity, sexual themes, and violence”

At exactly one minute long, the teaser might seem awfully familiar to some. IGN uploaded the same video to its channel on 31st December last year. However, as S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is a much-awaited title for the Xbox Series X, it makes sense for the teaser to be uploaded on the console’s channel.

A sequel to a decade-old title, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 does not have a fixed release date as of now. Currently, the game will release on PC and Xbox Series X and S.
