Kabaret Demo Impressions: Having Tea With a Pontianak Is Casually Deranged

Malaysian Indie dev Persona Theory Games has launched a free demo of their upcoming visual novel Kabaret on Steam. The game also recently appeared on the Xbox Indie Showcase.

It’s always great to see local developers getting some time in the spotlight, and Kabaret is certainly intriguing. This macabre visual novel explores the various myths and legends of Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries. It’s a dark tale that deals with some bleak yet intriguing subject matter that will keep horror fans invested. Even if the pacing is a little slow at times.

The Story

The Kabaret Demo with the main character Jebat, waking up as a scaly dragon-like creature in a world called ‘Alam’. He is taken by a being only known as ‘The Caretaker’ to The Kabaret, a place where monsters gather.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves

Tweet to @GamerBraves

From here we are introduced to a number of creatures familiar to anyone in Malaysia who’s ever heard an urban legend around their hometown.
How did Jebat turn from a human into a monster, how will he survive in this new world filled with the most bizarre of inhabitants? That’s for you to find out.

Right at the start you’re sat down and have tea with a Pontianak. Soon after you’re introduced to a Jinn, Ekek, and even what seems to be the Ghost of a World War 2 Japanese Soldier appears in the background. As someone interested in mythology, it has really cool to see all these mythological figures come to life.
The game also creates a good sense of mystery around Kabaret. You’re dropped into this building with a bunch of demonic entities and are told to just kinda mingle with them. We learn very little about
Living Among Monsters

But the game also doesn’t hide from the darker aspects of these creatures. It is explicitly shown that they have no value for human life, they eat people, and they treat it with the same sense of normalcy that we’d eat a plate a Maggi Goreng.
And yet, they still remain likable.
“The truth is this, every monster you have ever met, was once a human being,” says the game’s Steam Page and it’s right. These create still feel human but also distinctly not-human. They talk they may you’d talk to a friend over lunch even when discussing the bleakest of topics.
When having tea with the Pontianak, she seems cool-headed, even a little flirty, but does so while chatting about how she needs to eat babies to survive and enjoys doing so. As you hear her tell her story, you feel bad for her; a creature doomed to a cursed existence not knowing why she was fated to be like this. Then she asks you to find a baby for her to eat.
It’s casually deranged conversation. One on hand you’re alarmed by the subject matter but on the other, you find yourself strangely enjoying the fiend’s company.
Making Choices

This reflects in the main character Jebat. He acts as the player’s window into this world but at the same time, you can tell he’s changing to fit his more monstrous form. The player has the option to choose certain dialogues for him and he can say and do some rather dark actions himself, like declaring that he hates humans and wouldn’t care if they died.
We don’t know if these choices will actually change the events of the game but I find them memorable nonetheless.
What I like about this though is that regardless of what option you pick, the game doesn’t condemn you for it the way other games with choice systems tend to do. You can choose the most terrible of actions and it’ll be treated as simply another choice with pros and cons. If anything though, this just makes the game more uncomfortable. Without a solid judgment, the game leaves you to question if what you did was the right call. What did you think about that, did you like it, did you not like it, and what does that say about you as a person.
It reminds me a lot of the choice systems in Shin Megami Tensei, and like with those games it can really leave you thinking about your choices well after you’ve finished the game.
Overall there’s a good mixture of horror and mystery that keeps the reader on edge but also makes them want to learn more about this world.
Time For Tea

Being a visual novel there’s not a lot of actual gameplay to speak off. Most of the time you’ll just be pressing the space bar to move dialogue and using the mouse to click on different objects.
There are a few mini-games in the game though. In the Kabaret demo, you are able to perform tea ceremonies, as well as play ‘congkak’ (a traditional SEA board game) and guli (marbles). These are all very simple games that don’t require much thought. There’s pretty much no way you’d actually lose at them which makes them a little dull.
That being said, they fulfill their real task of allowing you to talk to the monsters more which is what’s really important. Playing marbles becomes a lot more fun when you’re competing against a trash-talking demon horseman.
One thing that was a bit annoying was that you’re essentially forced to play the tea ceremony mini-game twice, and the second time you have a frog nagging you throughout the whole scenario. This was despite the fact that I still remembered how to serve the tea from the previous tutorial I’d finished just 20 minutes ago.
Blending Traditional Art

I also seriously need to commend the developers for the beautiful art style. It feels like a modern take on different kinds of traditional Southeast Asian art. The colors and character designs remind me of Batik while the game also makes the occasional use of Wayang Kulit. It’s really vibrant and adds to the idea of folklore coming to life.
The music in the game likewise does a great job of setting the tone. It uses a lot of traditional instruments for a series of quiet haunting melodies that really create the feeling of spirits crawling up your back.
I do wish Jebat had more voice clips or at least didn’t repeat the two that he had so much though.
Welcome to The Kabaret

Just playing the demo, Kabaret is an imaginative look into the fantastical yet macabre world of SouthEast Asian folklore that shows a lot of promise.
While it can be a little show at the beginning with the two tea ceremonies, I enjoyed its’ haunting atmosphere. The various ghouls and ghosts you meet have a lot of personalities, making them likable but the game never lets you forget that they are monsters. They’re cruel creatures with no love of humanity and the questions they pose and force you to answer can be equally unsettling.
The Kabaret demo will be available as part of Steam Next Fest until Tuesday the 21st of June at 01:00 AM. The demo is only around 90-120 minutes long. With that in mind, if you got some time to kill this weekend, I’d highly recommend checking it out. You can see firsthand what the twisted shadows of Persona Theory have unleashed.

Capcom Responds To Love For Tall Vampire Lady From Resident Evil Village

Capcom has responded to the outpouring of love for the new character, Lady Dimitrescu, the tall vampire lady from Resident Evil: Village with fun facts about the character’s most defining feature.

According to art director Tomonori Takano, Lady Dimitrescu stands at a whopping 2.9m (9’6″) tall. For context, this puts her at just under the height of a Rathalos, and big enough to be a class of Titan in Attack on Titan.

Fans have been particularly excited about the character since the release of the Resident Evil Village MAIDEN demo, as many people have bravely declared their fetishes for taller women.

There’s also a lot of love for the character’s aesthetic, as the vintage nobility look hasn’t really been explored in great detail by the Resident Evil games. At the end of the MAIDEN demo it’s also revealed that she has a set of huge claws, only further encouraging the bravest of souls to profess their love for Lady Dimitrescu.

Of course, that same demo also implies she makes wine out of the blood of women, but, y’know. Focus on the tall vampire lady at hand here.
Some more storied fans have put aside their fantasies long enough to speculate on her origins as well. While the tweet confirms that she is at the very least a vampire, she bears a lot of similarities to the Tyrants of previous Resident Evil Games. Her gray skin and imposing figure are particularly reminiscent of Mr. X, the Tyrant from Resident Evil 2. The fact that the trailers imply she’ll be in a similar position to X also lends credence to this theory.
Speculations aside, its fun when game developers lean in to fanfare, rather than throwing a fit asking netizens to not be aroused by tall women. Good on Capcom for keeping the hype train going, especially with Resident Evil: Village dropping May 7th, 2021.

Nexomon to launch for Android on 1 March 2018

Nexomon Team has just announced that Nexomon for Android will be made available on the Google Play Store on 1 March 2018, having made its debut on the iOS in 2017.

For the uninitiated, the mobile monster catching adventure game is being touted as the closest thing you have to the Pokemon experience for the mobile, until at least Nintendo decides to actually bring the full fledged game for smartphones. And no, Pokemon Go does not count. The game boasts a pool of over 300 monsters which you can catch, train and evolve.

Your goal is to become strong enough to beat Omnicron, the king of Nexomon. Despite its similarities to Pokemon, Nexomon does bring some original ideas to the table, so it is not entirely a carbon copy. This will be a paid title, so no gacha shenanigans. The developer also promised to update the game constantly, so there is that to consider as well.

Slime ISEKAI Memories crosses 100 million USD in revenue since launch

Since its simultaneous release in Japan and Global on 28 October last year, Slime ISEKAI Memories has earned over 100 million USD in revenue. To be specific, the game has earned 107,864,520 USD according to data from AppMagic.

As with most mobile games, the bulk of the revenue comes from the game’s first month of its launch. The latest spike in revenue in the past 6 months came from the half-anniversary event of Slime ISEKAI Memories. For players of the game, you may recognise that as the Space element banner, which added the overpowered Masked Hero.

When breaking down into each country, Japan leads in pretty much every category by a country mile, contributing more than 80% of the game’s 107 million USD figure. This is followed by the United States, contributing 10.7 million USD and South Korea with 2.3 million USD. This ranking is also reflected in terms of number of downloads, with Japanese players downloading the game 1,380,775 times, USA with 574,587 downloads and South Korea with 192,696 downloads.
As for the average revenue per user (ARPU), Japan once again leads the pack with each user spending 61.44 USD on average, more than double the ARPU of second-placed Hong Kong at 30.11 USD.
While these figures certainly sound impressive to the average player, how does it stack up against other gacha games?

We decided to compare the revenue of Slime ISEKAI Memories with that of Alchemy Stars, since both games are rare cases of gacha games releasing simultaneously in all regions. Despite Alchemy Stars releasing a few months prior, Slime ISEKAI Memories has raked in a much higher revenue. This is even more surprising, since Alchemy Stars trumps Slime ISEKAI Memories in terms of downloads in their launch month.

Even without the appeal of an established anime IP backing it, it can be inferred that Alchemy Stars had superior marketing. In its first 30 days, the game had more than 2 million downloads. Slime Isekai Memories took more than a month to achieve the same milestone.
It’s also worth noting that the average Slime ISEKAI Memories player spends more than double what the average Alchemy Stars player spends, with an ARPU of 30.13 USD as opposed to 14.4 USD.
Note that the data we shared from AppMagic shouldn’t be used as an objective indication of each game’s quality. As for Slime ISEKAI Memories, we’re eager to see what kind of spike the game will receive during its 1st anniversary celebration.

Dragon Ball: The Breakers Review: Wishing Upon the Dragon Balls for Better RNG Rates

Developer Dimps’ Dragon Ball: The Breakers is finally out and we got our hands on the full game, and here is our review of it.

With that being said, our review of Dragon Ball: The Breakers will focus more on the other aspects of the game other than the gameplay as we’ve covered that before in our previous preview of the game.

But in short, Dragon Ball: The Breakers is Bandai Namco’s asymmetrical multiplayer game set in the Dragon Ball universe where it pits seven players playing the role of the survivors who are regular civilians as they try to escape the wrath of the Raider, which is one of the famous rivals from the franchise who is also controlled by a player.
Story
Considering Dragon Ball: The Breakers is an “asymmetrical concept” type of game, similar to Dead by Daylight, there isn’t much of a story narrative. Although the prologue of the game covers the events that led up after Frieza’s ultimate demise but prior to the introduction of Cell, along with “Future” Trunks.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

The prologue also acts as a tutorial of the standard gameplay loop of continuously fighting impossibly difficult opponents that Goku and co. had faced by attempting to run away using the Time Machine, or at least die trying.
As a fan of the Dragon Ball franchise, I absolutely adore both the Raiders and the Survivors as it spins on a new take on Dragon Ball as a whole. In a previous interview with Ryousuke Hara, the producer of Dragon Ball: The Breakers, he mentioned that the premise of this game was to evoke the sensation of an “overwhelming contrast in powers” between the Raiders and the Survivors, and I truly believe that they’ve nailed that concept down. Being able to see Majin Buu decimating 3-4 players all at once truly hit home for me.
Into the Multiverse
Throughout our review of Dragon Ball: The Breakers, while the prologue acts as a great introduction to the concept of the game being an asymmetric game as well as a tutorial, I personally felt that it didn’t quite assist me in understanding the mechanics of the game.
The game also has a manual but has minimal information and conceals a lot of useful details. For one, the last part of the training page mentions skills that goes past level 10, any character will be able to use those skills. Which I think is a pretty important detail but with it being on the last part of the training page, a lot of people might’ve skipped over it without realising it.
Outside of the game’s prologue, there is a practice mode that allows players to mess along with the mechanics as well as a trial match option, although the latter requires a whole team of eight players to set up for it.
While having a trial match is good, the problem that lies with it is how you’ll need to gather 8 players all at once to set up the trial match, which can be rather difficult to organise since the game isn’t free to play. Even if you were to have 8 players all be available to play the game, it would be better to just play a real match.
The game currently only allows you to practice as the Survivors, but not the Raiders. So it would be difficult for new players to try out that role as the only way for them is through trial by fire from playing in a real match, which can potentially ruin the experience for some of the other players.
Reading the Power Levels
And because of these issues mentioned previously, most players wouldn’t quite understand what is required for them to succeed. For an example, even if the Raider is substantially lower level compared to the Survivor, who has a Dragon Change lvl.3, the Raider would always prevail in a 1-on-1 battle.
A lot of players, myself included, tend to rush down the Raider because we don’t exactly comprehend the gameplay, which ultimately causes the Survivors to lose. Players will need to learn numerous mechanics, useful components along with other variables if they want to succeed, which is hidden away in the manual.
I personally feel like the matches would’ve been a bit more entertaining when both sides are evenly matched. But in this scenario, the Raiders go about trying to murder the Survivors and power up while the Survivors must scramble about gathering resources.
Instead of escaping, the Survivors can also choose to gang up against the Raider where at least four to five players will have to do a barrage of punches or special attacks that overwhelm and hopefully defeat the Raider.
While it may sound easy on paper, most players are unaware of the importance of teamwork. And instead of continuing with the momentum, most of the time they would instead attempt to either take on the invader alone or be too preoccupied with other needless activities.
Gacha and Battle Pass
The list of characters in the roster pool that we can Dragon Change into is unexpectedly large even during launch. There are at least 8 transformations that are available which are Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, Trunks, Tien, Yamcha and Android 18. And given that the gacha banner is called Spirit Siphon Vol. 1, expect more characters to be added into the game soon.
Although, at the present time, there are no current indicators talking about the rates of pulling for a 5 Star characters, which can be annoying at times as I would like to at least know what are my odds before dumping in my life savings into a banner.
The character skills that we use during Dragon Change can be unlocked through either training or using Spirit Siphon. While the passive skills must be acquired through RNG, which in some circumstances have a 1% chance of appearing and requires a significant amount of grinding. Super attacks can be acquired through training but they are usually quite expensive.
A battle pass system is also introduced in Dragon Ball: The Breakers where the levels are separated by Dragon Tiers. The battle pass includes several resources such as Spirit Siphon pulls and cosmetic items. Players can advance in the Dragon Tiers by completing daily and weekly challenges or alternatively, spending real life money.
On the topic of the character skills, I personally feel like it allows for a lot of player expression. I was able to create a variety of Survivor loadouts, and no single loadout dominates the competition, even if you were to know the Raider playstyle. Which I believe to be a good thing which makes the gameplay balanced.

Additionally, the cosmetics are phenomenal and it manages to give a major throwback to the Dragon Ball franchise like Kid Goku till the early Dragon Ball Z eras.
Verdict
From our review of Dragon Ball: The Breakers, the game has a few flaws but I wouldn’t consider it to be a bad game. My main gripe with the game lies with its inadequate tutorial that doesn’t help beginners which in turn would cause frustration to players that matches up with said beginner players.
Paired that up with the long grind for skills and uncertainties with the RNG, it would be a potential problem that would drive away players.
However, if everyone is at their best, the game is a lot of fun. The concept is great, running way from Frieza couldn’t be much more fun with the wide variety of playable skills at your disposal, all of which have the potential to be powerful in the appropriate solutions.
At the end of the day, I still find that exploring a Dragon Ball world from a civilian side perspective is really enjoyable. I believe that you would enjoy Dragon Ball: The Breakers if you have a squad or appreciate the franchise.

                                        Cons

                                        They nailed the concept

                                        Hard to understand mechanics

                                        Controls are easy

                                        Gacha is a grind, paired with low rates

                                        Visuals are lovely

                                        Less desirable practice mode

Brown Dust now available globally

Brown Dust is now officially available globally for the Android and iOS platforms. The game has been quite a hit even when it was just out in Southeast Asia, so it would be interesting to see its popularity spreads to other regions.

The biggest draw of this free-to-play tactical RPG would be the sheer amount of things to do. With over 300 mercenaries to recruit and over 1,200 battles to partake in, you will be kept really busy. Once you have familiarised with the basics in the lengthy campaign, you will also be able to engage in PVP in the form of a seasonal guild war.

The usual gacha mechanics are present, which you are going to need to bolster your army. That said, free units offer quite a bit of mileage too, so you are not necessarily compelled to spend. In any case, be sure to try out the game for yourself now that it is out.

Catching Gauls in 4K – Total War: Rome Remastered Review

Okay, right out of the gate, I will confess that I know pretty much nothing about the Total War franchise and / or their spin-offs, except that there are a lot, and boy, are there A LOT of games under this name. Just look at that launcher, is that even all of them?

Anyway, that aside, this review is for Total War: Rome Remastered, released 29 April 2021 as the, well, remastered version of the original 2004 release. It comes packaged with the Barbarian and Alexander DLCs, for the benefit of newer players. For completion’s sake, here’s the overview of the remastered version on its Steam store page:
Improved Visuals
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

ROME REMASTERED brings the classic Rome visuals up to date, with 4K optimization**, ultra-widescreen and native UHD resolution** support. This visual upgrade extends across a multitude of features, including re-modelled buildings and objects, and environmental effects like dust clouds and heat haze. The refreshed campaign maps also boast new high-resolution models, and units have been remodelled and retextured to look their very best on the battlefield.
Modern Features
ROME REMASTERED includes a host of modern features and improvements to existing mechanics. The in-game camera has been enhanced, including map rotation and wider zoom level in Campaign mode. Heat maps and new icon overlays have been added for gameplay mechanics such as diplomacy and security. In Battle, the new tactical map, unit displays and range markers give you greater command over Rome’s battlefields.
Enhanced Game Mechanics
Players can now expand their armies and experience 16 additional factions that were previously locked, giving a grand total of 38 playable factions. In a first for Total War, you can now take your favourite faction to battle against friends in cross-platform multiplayer between Windows, macOS and Linux. A whole new agent type has also been added to the fray; Merchants can be sent all over the world to create trade links, access resources and buy out rivals to increase your income and assert your faction’s economic power.
They even released a trailer to compare the changes between the original and the remastered edition:

Prior to this, Total War: Rome is also available on mobile devices. This might become somewhat relevant.
OPTIONS
Before you jump into the game proper, there are some options you can fiddle with; where you can access the RomeShell console, your installed mods and which game you want to play (base game, Barbarian Invasion, Alexander). The resolution and display mode can also be tinkered with, and something I especially appreciate, the ability to choose which monitor the game will display on. I do know how to switch windows – that’s Windows key + Shift + Left / Right Arrow, for those who aren’t aware – but that tip doesn’t work for a number of games, so thanks a bunch for having it in.

Options wise, there isn’t that much you can tune. You can:

Limit frame rate
Resize the UI
Rebind keys (or choose from modern or classic keysets)
Choose between the remastered or classic camera

The 4K option is available through the free, downloadable Enhanced Graphics Pack. My modest home PC can’t run that, but the option is there for the rest of you.
PRESENTATION
As you might expect, it don’t look like the PS1 era anymore. I feel like the voice acting, especially for the in-game assistant, feels just a little off, which could just be me. Other characters, like your generals, are voiced, which might not be something newer players are likely to hear. Well, the voice acting isn’t the most important part for a game like this anyway, so I won’t be trying to nitpick here.
So, about the game being out for mobile? Here’s how the Google Play store page has it:

And this is how it looks like in the Remastered version:

I’ve read comments about how it looks closer to the mobile version than the original UI, and I can see where they’re coming from. One of my gripes about the game is that there’s a lot of information that gets hidden in menus that require many clicks to get to. There are in-game “wikis” you can read up on, but in a strategy game, I feel that the information should be more readily accessible.
Alerts will be in the top left of your screen, sorted accordingly in tabs with numbers indicating how many unread you have. Thanks to the wiki entries, you can get easily overwhelmed by walls of text, and I feel that the menus are a tad on the cluttered side. What a dilemma, in needing to display enough information easily and at once, while not clogging any particular screen. It’s a fine line to balance, and I’m not a UI designer who can point out the changes they can make.
There are animations for units, and the ones on the overworld can be sped up. To me, they’re on the slower side even with speeding up, though your mileage will vary.
GAMEPLAY
So, yes, hello, welcome to a Total War game. Some of your tasks include:

Managing your territories
Sending out diplomats to negotiate terms with neighbouring powers, or spy on them
Forming an army around a general to conquer lands
Pleasing the Senate as you pull the strings to make Rome great again

The Senate missions are timed, in that you will need to fulfill them within a given number of turns. These are not mandatory missions, though if you do the tasks, the old fogeys will be happy with you and can organize stuff like festivals or games in honour of you. As someone whose only experience in 4X strategy games is a little franchise called Civilization, Total War has far too many moving parts for me to properly enjoy, as I dislike the finer points of management.

In towns, you’ll be able to queue up the facilities necessary, from defenses to temples to training grounds to economic areas or simply basic amenities like roads. Should you use your army to conquer settlements, you’ll want to keep them obedient or happy because they can – and will, if you let them – revolt. A standing army is also important besides your defenses so that your enemies won’t take your territories from under you. Money doesn’t grow on trees, so the people will need to be taxed as well, and they won’t be happy if it’s a higher rate than they like. It’s a learning curve for me, yahoo. There’s a certain level of automation, which is nice, but isn’t how the game should be played. It’s best for you to study so that you can actually enjoy how to manage and strategize your resources.
A Spy can scout out a territory you’d like to claim before you send in your armies to help you plan your siege options, as well as learn about their defenses and what their army is made of. Typically you’d be taking some turns to build your siege weaponry, but your Spy can let you in should they be in the town, for that bit of efficiency. If you’d rather not want to take up arms yet, send in a Diplomat instead to negotiate the various terms as you wish.

For the warmongers, you can control your army directly, setting up their formations prior to battle. You can choose to “wait” before beginning a battle, which will be relevant when you’re looking for a specific weather condition. Naturally, the units you bring along will have their various strengths and weaknesses, and your general will give rallying cries every now and again, like an inspiring speech before you charge in which is a nice touch. The problem with controlling your army is that the AI in this game is dumb as rocks, which apparently has not been changed from the original game. If you enjoy seeing your units swarm Terracotta warriors – as in the actual stone statues – then sure. I prefer to skip the battles not just from the dumb AI, but because it needs at least two loading screens to complete the battle. No thanks.
VERDICT
As a remastered version, it won’t be bringing anything new to veteran players, though you can now recommend it to newer players interested in the franchise if you want to. If you enjoyed the original, then feel free to pick it up. If this game hasn’t been recommended to you, you’re likely better off playing something newer.

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 97 – The FGC: A Community That Loves Its Genre More Than Its Games

It’s no secret that a lot of games are best known by their communities. When you say things like “The Genshin Community” or “The League Of Legends” community, you can probably think of a few shared ideas that unify the group as a whole. While most of these groups will tend to be focused on one game, there’s one oddity that largely defies this rule- the fighting game community, also known as the FGC.

One of the FGC’s defining traits is that they operate as a genre whole, rather than any individual game. Sure, there are Street Fighter fans and there are Guilty Gear games, but the FGC’s greatest strength is that they will tend to be fans of the genre overall.

ESKL Launches Campaign To Get Esports Players To Pay Their Taxes

The Esports Kuala Lumpur Association ( ESKL ) has launched a campaign to urge more awareness of how to pay taxes related to esports.

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

Hisham Darus, President of the ESKL says that many esports players aren’t aware that a lot of their income is taxable.
“So beginning 2021, ESKL will organize championships and activities together with tax-paying awareness campaigns among e-sports enthusiasts to inform them that the prize money they win does not solely belong to them”, Darus said.

“A part of the winnings needs to be handed over to the country for its development, especially to support e-sports development,” he said in a media conference.
According to him, ESKL would be working with the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) and Finance Ministry to launch this campaign.
Darus confirmed the campaign was about spreading awareness, rather than implying that esports players were all trying to commit tax evasion. According to him, many would end up being contacted by the Inland Revenue Board, being made to pay their dues.
The taxes related to esports primarily applies to deals like sponsorships, which means that only big career esports athletes will have to worry about filing their taxes correctly.
While taxation may sound like a bad word at first, it’s a great sign for the growing esports community in Malaysia. Taxation is a sign that the government is taking the industry seriously, and income made from the sector can be reinvested into developing it further.
According to Darus, the esports sector in Malaysia could rake in as much as RM100 Million if there was more awareness among esports players about paying their taxes.

Apex Legends Review – A royale surprise from the developers of Titanfall series

Out of nowhere, Respawn Entertainment, the developers of the much celebrated Titanfall franchise, has dropped a new battle royale title on unsuspecting gamers in the form of Apex Legends. The game takes on the genre popularised by PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, which at this point one would assume is overly saturated. We enjoyed the game and here is our Apex Legends review.

Surprisingly enough, Apex Legends managed to put its own twist on the formula through the introduction of some interesting elements. For one, you are forced to play in a squad of three. While you can obviously go the lone wolf route, death is swift in this game when you are by yourself. The game goes out of its way to encourage team play that there really is no other way to go about it.

Unlike other games of its ilk, Apex Legends employs a class-based system where each character has their own unique abilities, passives and ultimates. When it comes to weapons handling, everyone is equal and only distinct in terms of playstyle. From the looks of it so far, no one character is stronger than the other. Bangalore is your cookie cutter soldier unit who is focused on offence. Meanwhile, Lifeline, as you would have guessed from the name, is your healer and support character.
There are a total of eight playable characters, two of whom are locked. To get them, you will either have to use in-game credits or buy them outright. The option of farming for a character is open to you, but it is going to take you a while to do so.  As it is the norm for such games, there is an abundance of cosmetic customisation options available to you. These can be obtained from Overwatch-style lootboxes or again, bought with in-game currency or real cash.

Once you actually get into the game itself, everything here onwards will be familiar to those who play battle royales. You are dropped from the sky and you will have to find a strategic point to land. The game really likes everyone sticking together, so the squad leader gets to decide when everyone jumps. Of course, you are able to split and go about doing your own thing, but why would you?
The map comprises shanty towns, lush countryside and industrial zones. As the game is set in the same universe in Titanfall, much of the aesthetics will become familiar to those who have played the games in that series. The art direction of Apex Legends strikes a balance between science fiction realism and comic book grunge.

The map is made up of a mixture of worn-out industrial areas, shanty towns and stunning countryside. Apex Legends is set in the same world as Titanfall, but while there was a utopian gleam to much of that world, here everything looks grim and worn down, your team picking through a hastily abandoned airbase or overgrown power plant. This gloom is counteracted by the colourful artwork, which is so picturesque you’d be tempted to pull out a camera if it wasn’t for all the gun-toting killers.

As mentioned earlier, teamwork is the primary emphasis here, and underlying it is its communication infrastructure in the form of a ping system. Without ever having to utter a word, the ping system allows players to mark enemies, point at pickups, set up waypoints, warn teammates and much more. All this is achieved from simply clicking on the middle mouse button, where even more options are available as you hold down on it.
The ability to revive teammates is nothing new, but even after they are permanent killed off, you have the option of bringing your allies back to life. To do so, you will need to take their banner from their loot before proceeding to a respawn point to get your numbers back to scratch.

Gunplay is satisfying for the most part, and there is a rather extensive arsenal of weapons at your disposal. There aren’t any completely useless weapons, and they all do the job when used correctly. Ammo is scarce and the inclusion of shields mean that it will take a bit of work to take someone out. This is a double edged sword obviously, as while it means you will not usually drop right away from a surprise attack, the same applies to your opponents as well.
Inventory management is the name of the game here too, and thankfully, everything is very streamlined. You will be able to decipher to the rarity of an item as they are all colour-coded. Attachments automatically equip themselves if the weapon is barebones, and switching between them is a breeze.

I’ll be honest. I desperately wanted this game to fail since I harbour no love for Electronic Arts. Thankfully, the game is solid enough that I managed to overlook its ties to the publisher. The developer themselves were aware about Electronic Arts’ reputation at the moment and decided to quietly release this and let the game do the talking instead. And the message is loud and clear. While Apex Legends will unlikely convert those faithful to PUBG or Fortnite, it does have something for those looking for something different.
There are some issues with regards to balancing here and there, but the foundations of this game is strong. With a few more tweaks and updates, Apex Legends will be a strong contender in this crowded genre. With being a free-to-play title, there shouldn’t be any excuse not to try it.

Meanwhile, Crestoria‘s delay will be used to improve various aspects of the game, namely:

More expressive main characters
More unique cut-outs

They did reveal new information regarding the Administrators of the World Order! We have Machina and Kasque, alongside a new trailer. Machina may look young, but she’s called the Commander of the Enforcers. From her dialogue blurb, her smile surely cannot be trusted. As for Kasque, she’s shrouded in complete mystery, but a threat nonetheless to our heroes.

Tagawa assures us the features already previewed so far are on their way to being ready to play, so hopefully Tales of Crestoria will not be delayed any further.

Sakura Ignoramus To End Services Two Months After Release, After Three Years of Development

Marvelous has announced that Sakura Ignoramus will end services on 28th April 2023, two months after the game’s release.

The full notice of the game’s shut down can be read over the game’s official twitter account. According to Qooapp, the full notice talks about how Jun Imaizumi, the game’s producer had decided to end services for Sakura Ignoramus, despite it having undergone three years of development.

Jun Imaizumi explains the reason behind the decision  was that the team believed that Sakura Ignoramus will not be able to provide a satisfactory experience to the playbase due to various factors.
From Marvelous’ recent earning report forecast, the sales of Sakura Ignoramus is far below expectations. To prevent further loses, the company had decided to stop the game entirely; due to the low possibility of recovering the operational costs and initial development costs.
Players will also be eligible for full refunds regardless on the amount that was spent in the in-game store. The refund process will begin from 28th April till 27th July; it’s advised that players should avoid uninstalling the game.
According to AppMagic, Sakura Ignoramus had amassed a total revenue of over 74 Thousand USD across the two months in Japan.

About
Sakura Ignoramus is the sequel Sakura Nightmare, centering around a group of kunoichi with the mission of changing history to prevent the war from ravaging the world once again. The game features characters in a 3D-chibi style as they call upon the power of legendary people from the past to aid them in battle.

Demon Slayer The Hinokami Chronicles Shows Off Inosuke and Zenitsu

Hot off the heels of the previous trailer drops, the English release of Demon Slayer The Hinokami Chronicles has shown off Inosuke and Zenitsu, adding two more characters to the game’s arena fighter mode.

Inosuke uses his Beast Breathing in versus mode for The Hinokami Chronicles, allowing him to deal a flurry of offensive strikes on the opponent. His super, Beast Form Breathing: Third Fang is arguably the flashiest one we’ve seen so far, straight-up changing the game into black and white as his swords devour the opponent.

Razer has announced the Basilisk V3 Pro, a next-gen customizable wireless gaming mouse built for performance and complete customizability.
The mouse has a Razer HyperScroll Tilt Wheel, Razer Optical Mouse Switches Gen-3, 10+1 programmable buttons, and Razer Focus Pro 30K Optical Sensor. It also has wireless charging with Razer Mouse Dock Pro and Wireless Charging Puck (both sold separately).

“The Basilisk V3 Pro is our most feature-rich gaming mouse to date, with all the bells and whistles to blow the competition out of the water,” said Chris Mitchell, Head of the PC Gaming Division at Razer. “Essentially, the Basilisk V3 Pro gives gamers every feature they could ever want and more customization options than ever before.”

Customizability on a New Level
Powered by Razer Chroma RGB, the Basilisk V3 Pro features 13-Zone Chroma Lighting with Full Underglow, giving gamers the ability to customize each zone from over 16.8 million colors and countless lighting effects, while experiencing greater immersion as they react dynamically with over 200 Chroma-integrated games.
The Razer HyperScroll Tilt Wheel allows players can either speed through content in a free spin until stopped or switch to tactile mode for more precision and satisfying feedback that is ideal for cycling through weapons or skills.

Incomparable Performance
The Basilisk V3 Pro has complete resolution accuracy of 99.8%, the Focus Pro 30K Optical Sensor offers a powerful sensor solution equipped with AI functionality such as Smart Tracking, Motion Sync and Asymmetric Cut-off. With the Smart Tracking feature, the Basilisk V3 Pro auto-calibrates across different surfaces so that it is able to maintain a consistent lift-off distance no matter what surface it’s used on, allowing gamers greater control and accuracy, even on glass.
In addition, the Basilisk V3 Pro sports Razer Optical Mouse Switches Gen-3 for absolutely zero double-clicking issues and no debounce delay while still featuring a more tactile feel, and an even longer click lifespan. These switches are rated for a click lifecycle of up to 90 million clicks, increasing durability by over 25% compared to the previous switch generation.

Wireless Connectivity with Multi-Device Support

The Razer Basilisk V3 Pro also incorporates Razer HyperSpeed Wireless for a 2.4 GHz connection. Thanks to multi-device support, gamers can streamline their setup and free up a USB port by connecting both a compatible wireless Razer keyboard and the Basilisk V3 Pro to a single dongle.

Offering Magnetic Wireless Charging for a seamless, convenient experience, charging has never been more intuitive. Gamers can replace the regular mouse cover puck with the wireless charging puck (included with Mouse Dock Pro) in a compatible Razer mouse and charge the mouse by placing it onto the dock which has a magnetic fit that stays secure while charging.
The Mouse Dock Pro also features an integrated Razer HyperPolling 4K Hz Transceiver for true 4K Hz wireless polling rate, and 8 Razer Chroma RGB Lighting Zones, with the ability to choose from 16.8 million colors for customizable style and greater game immersion.

Langrisser Mobile First Impressions

Langrisser as a series has just as much a heritage as Fire Emblem, so it was not too big of a surprise that we were getting a mobile adaptation down the line. In a market crowded with RPGs, it is nice that Langrisser Mobile still manages to be entertaining enough to set itself apart from its peers. It is now out globally, and here are our Langrisser Mobile first impressions.

This tactical RPG is not unlike Fire Emblem, so if you are familiar with the latter, you will know pretty much what to expect here. Single player is the emphasis here, so the experience here conforms with what you might come to expect, such as its large battlefield, huge cast and the classic weapon triangle system.

The game is very good to look at it, and boasts even more detail than the likes of Fire Emblem, as the character sprites and portraits are far more detailed here. Much like Fire Emblem’s mobile outing, Langrisser Mobile is its own self-contained experience, although you can expect characters from past games to all make an appearance here. It is not necessary to have played the past games, although it would be a plus as you will be able to appreciate them better.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

The inclusion of a Time Rift mode allows you to play abridged versions of past Langrisser games, allowing you to get to up to speed with the game universe and its lore. This mode doubles as a means of allowing you to level your party up quickly in order to be strong enough to tackle the primary campaign. A good place to be farming if you got yourself a new member.

If you crave multiplayer, Langrisser Mobile has that too. The Arena mode as you sending your party out in an AI-controlled battle, which is not very intuitive as you cannot directly manage your team. True PVP is included however, and this is where you will be facing against other users. Battles are of course still turn-based but you have a minute to make your moves.

And of course, we now have to address the elephant in the room that is the gacha mechanics. R characters, the lowest rarity, are easily obtainable from Friendship Summons. Unfortunately most of them are worthless, and you really want a party of SR and SSR heroes.
Summon tickets can be obtained through normal gameplay or using the premium currency to acquire them. The game is fairly generous in this regard, since it throws many missions and tasks at you which allow you to them summon better units. This keeps you in a loop of working and being rewarded which can be fairly satisfying, as it motivates you to progress through the game.

Langrisser Mobile does not break the mold in any way, but it is a solid enough of an experience that you will want to sink some time into if you are a fan of the genre.
