Activision Blizzard Refuses To Recognize Raven Software QA Union

Activision Blizzard has refused to recognize the ongoing attempts by Raven Software QA team to form a union, prompting an election with the National Labor Relations Board.

Following accusations of mistreatment by the company, Raven Sofware announced last week that they would be forming a union dubbed the Game Workers Alliance, with support of the Communications Workers of America. The two had given Activision Blizzard until the 25th to recognize the union.

As of last night though, the deadline has officially lapsed, prompting Raven Sofware to file for a Union Election with the NLRB. If the majority of staff at Raven Software agree to the union, Activision Blizzard will be forced to actually negotiate with the union in good faith, potentially opening the door to better working conditions and pay.
The GWA has since issued a statement, expressing their disappointment that Activision Blizzard would choose to do things the hard way.

“We, the supermajority of workers at Raven QA, are proud to be confidently filing our petition with the NLRB for our union election. We are deeply disappointed that Raven Software and Activision Blizzard refused to uplift workers rights“, they said.

Management’s Response To Unionization
Raven Software studio head Brain Raffel sent out an email in response to the union.
“After carefully reviewing and considering the CWA’s initial request of the company, we worked quickly to find a mutually acceptable solution with the CWA that would have led to an expedited election process. Unfortunately, the parties could not reach an agreement,” Raffel wrote. “[We] expect that the union will soon be moving forward with the filing of a petition to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) for an election of eligible Raven employees. If filed, the company will respond formally to that petition promptly”.
“The most important thing to the company is that each eligible employee has the opportunity to have their voice heard and their individual vote counted, and we think all employees at Raven should have a say in this decision.”
Raffel’s response could be seen as an attempt to water down unionization efforts, under the assumption that artists and programmers would not vote for better treatment of their QA team, giving them a vote would make it harder for the QA team to actually have a majority.
Attempts To Weaken The Union
Raven Software also reportedly called relevant staff in for an “Update To QA”, which saw individual QA staff promoted to full-time employees and moved to other departments.
The Washington Post asked former NLRB chairman Wilma Liebman, who said that these were attempts to dilute the union by spreading them around the company.
“The union would have a decent case to make that by doing this on the heels of a request for recognition and on the heels of all this union organizing activity, that this was somehow unlawful, intended to kill the union strength,” Liebman says. “I would say that having seen these kinds of things many times, that there’s possibly more afoot here than meets the eye.”
This sentiment is echoed by Polygon reporter Nicole Carpenter, who explained the process of getting a union recognized.
“To be approved, unions have to prove a “community of interest,” i.e., a group of workers with shared categorization, for lack of a better word. Sectioned off as wholly QA made Raven’s unit clear. This may complicate that. Have asked Activision for clarification.
The CWA also called out the decision as an attempt to weaken unionization efforts:

“This announcement, which came three days after Raven QA workers publicly requested recognition of their union – @WeAreGWA (CWA) – is nothing more than a tactic to thwart Raven QA workers who are exercising their right to organize”.

Tensura: King of Monsters Review – Worth getting your hands sticky?

It has been a week since Tensura: King of Monsters launched in Southeast Asia, and it is high time that a full review of the game came out.

Claiming that That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, aka Tensura is popular is an understatement. Originally starting out as a light novel, Tensura stood out in an overly saturated isekai market, featuring a protagonist that happens to be a slime.

With season 2 currently airing, the popularity behind Tensura is insane. Ask any gacha gamer, and I can assure you, at least one of the gacha games they are playing received a Tensura collab at one point. Despite Tensura‘s notoriety as a collaboration partner, it never really had its own gacha game for the global audience. Until now.

Originally launched in Taiwan a few months prior, lucky Southeast Asian fans finally got their Slime fix just last week. After playing it almost religiously, even my phone got sticky from all the slime (sweat). Is the game worth your time? Or is it just another cheap cash grab jumping on the Slime hype train? Read on for the review of Tensura: King of Monsters.

Reincarnating into another world
Tensura: King of Monsters thrusts you straight into the action. The game immediately starts with the anime’s inciting incident—Shizu going out of control. With Ifrit wreaking havoc, only Rimuru Tempest, the reincarnation cum slim cum player character can save the day.
The game’s lengthy tutorial introduces you to many of the mechanics in this PVE only game. From summoning new characters to Rimuru’s unique Devour system, you’ll get a general idea of how things work.
However, unless you are already familiar with the light novel/manga/anime, do not expect to immerse yourself into the story. Early in the tutorial, you will summon Shion [Ogre] to your party. However, immediately after that, the story pits you against her and the other ogres.

If you are unfamiliar to the world of Tensura, it can be rather confusing to see your party member as your enemy in the cut scenes. A few missions later, and it immediately becomes apparent that there is a disconnect between the visual novel-esque cut scenes and actual gameplay.
Many of the story missions, especially in the later chapters are just padded out with “Combat Drills” that do not advance the story. Players might notice that a lot of these Combat Drills are much more difficult than the story missions that follow.

In terms of progression, it can be quite anticlimactic. For example, after some trial and error, you finally defeated that annoying 5-enemy Combat Drill team by the skin of your teeth. The last mission of the chapter is next. The cut scenes hyped up the next fight as the finale of a big boss battle. However, a single lone enemy is your opponent, and you kill it with one auto-attack.
Even as someone who read Tensura‘s manga, I found myself spamming the skip button in every single story cut scene. I thought that as someone who enjoyed the source material, I would at least appreciate seeing the story unfold. However, several hours into the game and it just devolves into a poorly packaged mission-grinding simulator. This is a shame, as the anime’s voice actors and actresses fully voiced all the in-game dialogue.
The world of Tensura: King of Monsters is just that. Be it Story missions, Challenge missions, Subjugation missions or Rimuru event missions, the game just puts players in the same fights, but differently packaged PVE content. Only Space Gap and its special enemy conditions and relic system feel varied enough, but that is only a small part of the game.

S(ub)lime battles and characters
Combat in the game is surprisingly deep, despite appearing like any other gacha RPG game at first glance. The player and the enemy each have their own 9×9 grid and can position up to 5 units on the grid. Unit positioning is a major factor pre-combat. It not only determines your character’s target(s) but also your team’s turn order. This led me to many situations where I needed to plan whether to position my damage dealer to an unsafe square to dish out more damage, or place my tank there but risk failing the sub-objective for taking too many rounds to win.

While it is possible to steamroll through fights with the same position, it is extremely unlikely as the enemies’ levels and stats scale a lot faster than you as you progress. Planning is more or less mandatory a few hours in. As I progressed, even the auto-battle function gets more and more neglected by me as I had to take personal control of many of the game’s battles. As such, the satisfaction of winning a lot of the harder fights not with pure stats, but with strategy is extremely rewarding.
Speaking of stats and strategy, another area that Tensura: King of Monsters excels at is in team building. Many of the characters’ skill sets feel varied, each one bringing something different to the table. Putting together a team that supports each other is a pleasure. To see one character following up another’s move always looks cool. There is no fixed way to build your team in the game. Even A-ranked characters can be better than the uncommon SS-Ranked unit. Flexibility helps add another layer to the already strategic combat. This flexibility also means that the game is free-to-play friendly, as the top-tiered units are not a dire necessity.

It is also a sin not to mention the most flexible character of all—you. Rimuru, the player character can play any role. The game does a great job of representing his malleable slime-like qualities shown in the anime. Players can edit and learn new skills through the Devour system. It also helps that the Devour system is Rimuru’s only way of getting stronger, making him a lot more unique as the main character.

Presentation
For a mobile gacha game, the in-game models are incredibly well done, complete with their own 3D animations. The features of your in-game secretary as they greet you are clearly visible and expressive. A small pet peeve of mine is that they always have the same spoken Japanese dialogue the moment you start up the game. Tapping on them prompts them to say a different line that does not have any subtitles.
The same visual attention to detail goes into in-game fights. The 3D animated scenes that play out when a character uses a skill are extremely well-made. Developer Hoolai Game Ltd did not cut corners into creating these short scenes. Some scenes, like Souei [Ogre]’s ultimate skill as he clones himself to gang up on one unfortunate enemy, are breathtaking.

Besides the characters, the UI and menu design are fine. They loosely follow the Great Sage theme from the anime. For the unfamiliar, Great Sage is something like an artificial intelligence which helps monitor Rimuru’s skills and status. The game even tells you that when you turn on auto combat, the Great Sage is taking over, which is a great nod to the anime.
Besides the UI, backgrounds in-game are also rather generic. In battles, players will see many of the same forests and greenery used as background. In the story cut scenes, the game recycles many shots from the anime and some of the backdrop.

Come…in my tummy?
I could have included the poor English used in Tensura: King of Monsters into the previous section of this review, but no. It is just that bad that it warrants its own section.
Normally, I would turn a blind eye to poor phrasing or wonky translations, but the English in the game is so bad, it can actually get misleading. Take for example, this description of Hakuro [Kijin]’s Aptitude, Sword Heart Realm.

The game never actually explains what auto attack stage count. There is no such thing. All the skill does is gives Hakuro [Kijin] a chance to do extra hits with each hit.
In a similar fashion, the game also has a lot of inconsistent terminology. At first, I thought that “floating” and “suspended” are two different states which I can put enemies into. However, they were actually the same thing. Why can’t the game just use the same terms for its combat mechanics? This is an issue that can be easily fixed, but it unfortunately seems that language is the least of the game’s priorities.

Clicking on the Social Network button on the bottom right….
In addition, the first time I arrived at the home screen, I thought that “Social Network” will reveal the social features, like a friend list. I was mistaken. Social Network is actually a relationship chart of the game’s characters, inconveniently titled, “Connection Net”.

…reveals this instead.
I understand that the game is made in Taiwan, but that is no excuse for the state of the game’s poor localisation. Poor translations take away from the immersion at best, and outright confuse the player at worst.

The battle UI disappeared mid-fight.
Too many bugs…
In the first six days of playing the game, I experienced a fair amount of crashes, with some being as often as every two missions or so.
However, on the day I am writing this, the developers have patched the game, and I have not crashed a single time since. The game is now a lot more stable, so hats off to the Tensura: King of Monsters team.

Besides fixing the crashes, the game also has its fair share of bugs. The most infamous example being one of the relics in Space Gap mode. Soul Drawing Core makes it so that if your character kills an enemy, said character will steal 5% (or more, depending on level) of the fallen enemy’s attributes for two rounds.
However, what actually happens is that the character who activates said relic’s effect becomes temporarily invincible, one-shotting every enemy and becoming unkillable for one round. This bug is persistent and does not go away with a simple restart. Some players even reported more troublesome bugs, such as being locked out of onetime story upgrades.

…Too little online features
There is nothing wrong with creating a fully PVE game. However, there is something wrong when your mobile game does not even have an in-game friend list.
While it is likely that the game will have PVP in the future, at its current state, it feels very far away in the future. Forget guilds or clans, the game does not have a way to connect with other players at all. There is not even a chat function.
Simple online functions that are easily glanced over in other games feel sorely missed in Tensura: King of Monsters. The lack of these features begs the question—how will the game’s new content roll out in this state?

Final Thoughts
By the end of writing this review for Tensura: King of Monsters, I am left with very conflicted feelings. On one hand, the game clearly had thought and care put into it, given the quality of the character models and animation as well as the deep and intriguing combat. On the other hand, the game’s issues and poor translations scream “cheap cash grab”.
If you are a fan of Tensura and can stomach bugs and horrible translations, then you might want to give this game a shot. If the game can fix its problems and have more online/social features, it can easily be one of the better gacha games in the market. When that time comes for Tensura: King of Monsters, this review will definitely be updated. Otherwise, I cannot recommend it in its current state.

Pros
Cons

High-quality 3d models and animation
Many bugs, feels unpolished

Combat rewards strategy and careful planning
Poor and misleading translation

Free-to-play friendly (low-ranked units are viable)
Inconsistent difficulty spikes

Lack of social features

FINAL SCORE
5 / 10

One of Sonic Frontiers’ selling points is the sheer variety of music, and we decided to showcase some of our work by producing a demo featuring multiple songs mashed together in a DJ mix. The track was created by me along with several members of the SEGA Sound Team, including Rintaro Soma, Kenji Mizuno, and Kanon Oguni. The video was produced by GROUNDRIDDIM in the form of a “VIDEO REMIX” version, and was directed by Kairi Sato and watakemi from tsuchifumazu. We hope you get a chance to enjoy the Cyber Space BGM before the game releases!”

Sword Art Online: Memory Defrag to end service

Sword Art Online: Memory Defrag will end service in August, according to the official website. The website’s notice is given as follows:

We regret to announce the closure of SWORD ART ONLINE MEMORY DEFRAG. Thank you all for your support and we hope you enjoyed playing. We will be keeping the servers open until 12:00 JST Aug 30, 2021, so please continue to enjoy SWORD ART ONLINE MEMORY DEFRAG until the very end.

All items can be used until the last day, so if you have any items or Memory Diamond in your account, please use them before Aug 30, 2021. Also, from today, we are disabling the purchase of Memory Diamond.

Perhaps the end of service for Memory Defrag isn’t particularly surprising, considering how the Facebook page hasn’t been updated since end of May. The game is also now no longer available for download. The closure applies to all servers, so fans don’t have the Japanese one to fall back on either. Since its launch in January 2017, the 4 1/2 years or so of service is pretty decent for a mobile title, all things considered.

E3 2020 officially cancelled

After we’d reported on the possibility of E3 2020 getting cancelled, it’s now official. A note on their website states:

After careful consultation with our member companies regarding the health and safety of everyone in our industry – our fans, our employees, our exhibitors, and our longtime E3 partners – we have made the difficult decision to cancel E3 2020, scheduled for June 9-11 in Los Angeles.

Following increased and overwhelming concerns about the COVID-19 virus, we felt this was the best way to proceed during such an unprecedented global situation. We are very disappointed that we are unable to hold this event for our fans and supporters. But we know it’s the right decision based on the information we have today.

Both Ubisoft and Xbox are making plans for digital events, with details to follow. It’s unfortunate, but E3 2020 getting cancelled would be much better than risking even more people to the virus. Stay home and stay clean, everyone!

Kick-Flight is a new game from Grenge, with pre-registrations currently underway! This game is a 4 on 4, real-time action game, with battles occurring in the air. Tap, swipe and perform actions by interacting with your device’s screen. With animation by MAPPA and the song “FLYERS” by KANA-BOON, check out the PV below!

The game was originally set for a release within 2019, which has now since been delayed to late January 2020. The game has already achieved over 300,000 pre-registrations, since it opened around April. The figure is from Japan alone!

Not just that, Kick-Flight is also slated for a launch globally, to serve over 130 countries at the same time. Pre-registrations for players outside Japan is scheduled to begin “soon”. As this is a real-time aerial battle game, players will be matched with those closer to them so as to avoid too much lag. Presumably, this will mean the game will also be released in English.

The milestone rewards are as follows:

30,000: 300 JC
50,000: 600 JC
100,000: 1,000 JC
150,000: 1,500 JC
200,000: 2,000 JC
300,000: 3,000 JC
400,000: 4,000 JC

The game will be free to play, with in-app purchases, as is customary. It is a little unclear if the currency given is additive, or if the final number is the total. As it is, 300 JC is said to be equivalent to one “Jet Capsule”, containing “Discs” that are equippable by a character.
“Kicker Tickets” appear not to be able to give duplicates, so you can be assured you will always get a new character! Players will lock-on to their opponents when in battle. Special skills are also usable! Dash around in the air as you avoid your opponents’ attacks. You can check the gameplay preview below.

Perhaps it’s surprising to see a game not yet available in Japan to be also readily available worldwide. Whenever pre-registrations go up, why don’t you jump on the Kick-Flight current?

Gaming laptops tend to be heavy, and the sheer power they can output means their battery life isn’t the greatest, and it can get really toasty too! The display can also suffer in the interest of cutting costs. Not so with the GS66 Stealth! Let’s go through the points in order:

the GS66 Stealth weighs in at 2.1kg
Intel 10th gen Core i9/i7 processor with up to NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2080 Super™
World’s largest 99.9Whr battery capacity
New Cooler Boost Trinity+ with incredibly thin fan blades

Rules of Survival 2.0 (ROS 2.0), the multiplayer shooter game created by the original team who made the original Rules of Survival, has been officially launched on Google Play, App Store, and PC on January 26, 2022.

ROS 2.0 has optimized a lot of core content to provide players with a more thrilling and diverse combat experience.

After the evacuation, players can use the loot to build up their exclusive shelter and trade with other players for resources.

Survivors Return Event
The Survivors Return Event is available from January 19 to February 9. During the event, veterans can get copious in-game rewards, including the limited exclusive costumes and so on. Players will be rewarded with an extra diamond for every friend they invite.
In addition to veteran players, new players who accept the invitation of their friends can also claim the limited bonus.
Play to earn
It should be noted that ROS 2.0 has a play-to-earn function as well. Players can experience trading items with a real-world value in the game and get random cash drops in events.
While many may find these mechanics distasteful, at the very least, the game does not force players to truly indulge in the pay-to-earn functions. By simply joining the combat, players have a chance of getting Vouchers, which can be redeemed for cash after accumulating a certain amount. It is very possible to just ignore the pay-to-earn aspects in general.
Rules of Survival 2.0 is available now on Android, iOS devices, and PC.

Bioshock film announced, from Netflix, 2K, Take-Two partnership

A Bioshock film adaptation has been announced by Netflix, to be produced in partnership with 2K and Take-Two Interactive. The announcement made on Twitter simply states as follows:

Would you kindly…get excited because Netflix is partnering with 2K and Take-Two Interactive to produce a film adaptation of the renowned video game franchise BIOSHOCK!

The Hollywood Reporter says the deal has been in the works for at least a year, and presently has no writer or filmmaker on board. An earlier attempt at a Bioshock film adaptation was apparently killed by the franchises’ creative director for Bioshock and Infinite, Ken Levine, but it seems to be back on the table with this Netflix reveal. Whether or not Levine will be a part of this latest run remains to be seen.

It does beg the question if one film is enough to encompass the game. Games being an interactive medium offer quite distinct experiences when compared to screen adaptations, after all. A number of comments are bringing up Gore Verbinski, whose initial attempt was rebuffed by Levine, to helm the project. In any case, we can only wait to see if more substantial reveals come forth, as the release will likely not be out for quite some time yet.

The game is slated for release in 2023, and it looks as though it’s going to be a PS5 exclusive. Considering how much further into the PS5’s life cycle the game will launch, it makes sense that PlayStation would be moving more towards PS5 exclusives.

Details are still scarce on the sequel, but the teaser confirms several things. One, that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will feature both Peter Parker and Miles Morales in some capacity- though we still don’t know if this means you’ll be able to switch between characters or not.
The biggest reveal appears to be the big villain for the game, which introduces Venom. Despite being one of Spider-Man’s most iconic villains, the character has been missing from Spider-Man’s MCU appearances, with this being the first major one in a while.

Meanwhile, the voiceover in the teaser also sounds a lot like Kraven The Hunter, another rare pick for a Spider-Man villain.
Marvel’s Spider-Man was generally well-received, with Insomniac being praised for the non movie tie-in featuring Marvel’s wall-crawling superhero. Despite being more of an expansion its follow up, Miles Morales, was a direct continuation of the game’s story which took place after the main game’s story.

Star Wars Visions Review – A Colorful New Take on a Galaxy Far, Far Away

Star Wars Visions feels like one of the more interesting experiments to come from Disney+. An anthology of nine Star Wars anime shorts, each around 12-22 minutes long made by some of the most well-known animation studios in Japan including Trigger and Science Saru.

Star Wars has always worn its Japanese influences on its sleeves with sword battles based on Akira Kurosawa movies, to Darth Vader clearly being inspired by samurai armor, to the very ideology of the Jedi, being inspired by Eastern religions. In many ways, Star Wars Visions is the next logical step for Star Wars to make, and it’s interesting seeing Japanese creators with their cultural backgrounds take on Star Wars. It expands on the concepts of the series all while being non-canon meaning that isn’t restricted by existing lore.

For this review, we’ll give each of the nine Star Wars Visions shorts a short review before looking at the anthology as a whole.
The Duel
Studio: Kamikaze Douga
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

We already know Star Wars was based on films like Seven Samurai and Yojimbo so why not start with a outwrite homage complete with a rustic black and white palette? A village is being attacked by a group of bandits, lead by a sith and equipped with empire weaponry. A lone warrior who travels through the village chooses to fend them off.
This one is pure action, a thrilling piece of sakuga with some seriously impressive sword choreography. The lightsaber umbrella of the Sith makes for a great weapon that leads to some interesting tactics. I won’t spoil the twist at the end however, I think it’s a sign of what this Star Wars Visions is about, making experimental spins on the Star Wars universe that you wouldn’t usually see. Overall, a strong start.
Tatooine Rhapsody
Studio: Studio Colorido

After order 66 a young Jedi padawan is running away from The Empire when he is rescued by a Hutt, and they decide to start a rock band. Unfortunately, the Hutt is being hunted by Jabba and now the rest of them have to rescue him.
This one is really cute, it has a far more playful chibi art style which looks good with the more lighthearted story. A rock band story can be seen as cliched but you can sense genuine chemistry among these band members even within a few minutes, although I will say I don’t think they’re going to get too far as the dub actor’s singing voice really wasn’t the best (although he’s fine otherwise).
We again see some different concepts with the character of Gee, a Hutt that defies Jabba to be a rockstar. Hutts are usually antagonistic characters in Star Wars so the idea of a good one that just wants to play music is a cool idea for the series. Also, chibi Boba Fett, watch this just for chibi Boba Fett.

The Twins
Studio: Trigger

The Twins was the short I was the most excited for. Directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi of Kill la Kill and Promare fame, it was the most advertised of all the episodes. The story involves two twins Sith lords leading the first order. The brother attempts to steal a special kyber crystal that powers a planet-destroying weapon to bring to the rebels. His sisters, still loyal to the dark side, attempts to stop him. A sibling rivalry ensues.
Knowing Trigger, I expected this to be balls-to-the-walls actions, a huge fight scene between the twins akin to the Ryuko and Satsuki fights but the two actually spend most of the time talking. Whether it’d be explaining how the crystal works or just a general shounen pontificating about hopes and dreams. It honestly feels a bit underwhelming considering that this is supposed to be a fight on top of twin star destroyers where one of the combatants is essentially a waifu Darth Vader with enough lightsabre-wielding arms to make General Grevious blush.
That being said, it’s not all bad. The animation is still fantastic and the ending brings in the Trigger insanity I’d expected with one of the most bombastic climaxes of all of Star Wars media. Remember the Holdo Maneuver from The Last Jedi and how ridiculous it was, Studio Trigger has decided to try their take on it and not only is it good, it’s outright amazing. Thankfully the over-the-top nature of the scene seems intentional this time.
The Village Bride
Studio: Kinema Citrus

A young fallen Jedi is hiding on a planet where a young bride is being sacrificed to a group of brigands the night after her wedding. The village argues whether to let her go or fight however eventually she decides to go of her own free will to protect the village. This inspires the young Jedi to take a stand of her own.
The Village Bride is a slow burn that leads to a profound payoff. The highlight of the story is watching the village’s community and culture. The short attempts to connect Star Wars to its roots in eastern religion/philosophy, in this case, the force and Taoism.
In line with the core beliefs of Taoism, the villagers emphasize living with nature and leading humble lives with minimal conflict, simply acting on what they believe is right without overthinking things. Watching the villagers come together, argue, and mourn shows a great sense of their community as even as some of them question these ideas, the bride ultimately upholds them. This leads to a very satisfying climax as the young Jedi reawakens to her belief in the ideology of the force from observing the villagers.
“you can’t change the river’s flow by casting a stone, but live in harmony with nature and you’ll change together”
It’s a touching climax that gives the viewer a greater insight into what it means to follow the force and all along played to some very well-crafted choir music. Seriously, this has the best score in the Star Wars Visions anthology.

The Ninth Jedi
Studio: Production IG

Eight Jedi are called to a secluded planet where they have been told they’d gain access to the ancient weapon of the Jedi, the lightsaber. The creator of these lightsabers is being hunted so his daughter must deliver them in his stead, becoming the ninth Jedi.
This is probably the most Star Wars of the shorts, a fun adventure with peril, suspense, and triumph. Our main character Kara is a likable little scamp, much like Luke in the first movie. The setting is also interesting, this is a world where the Jedi order has been gone for millennia and the few remaining Jedi haven’t even seen a lightsabre before. It’s like they have to rediscover the entire Jedi order based on myth and legend. There are some more fun twists but we won’t go into them for spoilers reasons.
I can see why so many people want this one to become a full series, it has a lot of potential.
T0-B1
Studio: Science Saru

We had a Kurosawa homage, so why not a direct homage to Astro Boy? T0-B1 is a droid who dreams of being a Jedi and wielding a lightsabre. His creator Professor Mitaka, however, wants to keep T0-B1 safe in his lab but one day it’s revealed that Mitaka is a former Jedi, and when a Sith appears to attack the lab T0-B1 will have to live up to his creators legacy and become a Jedi himself.
This is another cute one that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Science Saru’s semi-rubber hose style of animation works perfectly with the Megaman-esque robots bumping around. T0-B1 is also just a likable kid. It’s hard to watch such a wide-eyed innocent and not want to see him achieve his dream, even if it comes with dire consequences.
Again, this short presents an interesting idea: what if a droid could become a Jedi? The franchise has shown that droids are seemingly capable of having emotions, so who’s to say one couldn’t tap into the force? Outside of this, the short isn’t super memorable but it’s harmless and the Star Wars meets Pinocchio idea does have an enchanting feel to it.
The Elder
Studio: Trigger

Nothing like a good old Jedi vs Sith fight. A Jedi master and his padawan travel to the outer rim to track down who they believe to be an elder Jedi. Turns out he’s not only a sith but a blood knight, continuously seeking greater opponents to duel to the death.
It’s clear that a lot of these shorts use the Jedi as an allegory for samurai and The Elder is a good old-fashioned samurai duel. It presents an intense sword fight that is highly engaging to watch. The elder man is a fun antagonist, bloodthirsty but clearly wise and experienced, a great foil to the patient Jedi master.
Like The Village Bride, this one also brings in some Japanese culture and philosophy. This time, the influence of Buddhism in samurai duels. Particularly their beliefs about accepting death and the impermanence of life.
“no matter how powerful you become, know that it will not last forever”
The elder Sith becomes weaker and died, the master will also become weaker, and the padawan will become stronger. Any duel could be your last so clinging to victory is meaningless, that is the way of the galaxy. Another interesting insight into Star Wars from a different perspective.
Lop and Ocho
Studio: Geno Studio

On a planet that has been occupied and industrialized by The Galatic Empire an alien slave girl, Lop, is adopted by a native clan head and becomes sisters with his daughter, Ocho. Years later Ocho wants to work with The Empire the further develop the planet while her father wants to drive them off. It is up to Lop to try and keep the peace as her family starts falling apart.
This short focuses a lot on the dynamic between the family. The bond between Lop, Ocho, and their father is very sweet and tragic as you see the rift between them build. And much like with the rest of the series, the lightsabre action is slick and fun.
This one also has some interesting moral dilemmas. Ocho brings up how working with the empire can lead to the planet gaining greater prosperity but her father feels it’ll be at the expense of their culture and autonomy.
It is a pretty important question about colonialism and considering its creators, is likely intended to parallel the American occupation of Japan after World War II. America’s support in rebuilding Japan helped turn it into an economic powerhouse but many Japanese feared the rapid progress of technology and potential Westernization. The episode isn’t quite as nuanced (the empire is blatantly evil) but it’s an interesting idea of how planets lived under the empire and the effect the regime has on their citizens.
Akakiri
Studio: Science Saru

A Jedi escorts a young heiress to retake her household which has been taken over by a Sith relative.
Maybe it was because it’s the last episode but this was my least favorite. Science Saru’s stylized art style can be fantastic when used for a more stylized show but it doesn’t really fit in what is a mostly straightforward if somewhat dull fantasy story about essentially retaking a castle. The characters just look awkward and unappealing.
The main character is played by Henry Golding, unfortunately, he doesn’t have much to work with as there’s just not a lot to the short. It tries to say something at the end about why a Jedi might become a Sith but it’s confusing and feels too disjointed to really get the point across. Imagine Anakin’s story in the prequels but condensed into 12 minutes.
Closing Thoughts
Overall I liked Star Wars Visions however you’ve probably noticed that I liked it primarily for the concepts it brings to the Star Wars Universe. It presents a lot of cool what-if scenarios with a lot of potential to be played with. I love the use of Japanese culture and philosophy that has always been part of Star Wars being highlighted and the fight scenes in many of the episodes are awe-inspiring.
But this is also the biggest flaw with these shorts, that’s all they are: cool concepts. Because the episodes are so short, the actual plots and characters feel barebones and even a bit on the bland side. I think I’ll remember the characters far more for what they are than who they are. Most of these would be fantastic if they had a full series. It just feels like they could have been way better with more time.
Star Wars Visions does ultimately succeed in being an experiment in what Japanese creators can do with Star Wars but as standalone stories, they leave a little more to be desired.

Warhammer 40k Gladius Escalation Pack Review – I’m in a fight, I need more men

Developer Proxy Studios and publishers SlitherineGames’ Warhammer 40k Gladius has a recent DLC being the Escalation Pack where they add in more units for each of the factions available in the game, here are our reviews on it.

Do note that this review will be focusing on the Escalation Pack and its newly introduced units rather than a review of the base game.

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

In the Escalation Pack, the game introduces one new unit for each of the available playable factions in the game that features either a pretty unique playstyle or fills in the gap in each of the faction’s unit choices. Here are the lists of the new units from the DLC:

Chaos Space Marines – Forgefiend
Tyranids – Hive Guards
Adeptus Mechanicus – Skitarii Rangers
Space Marines – Scouts
Astra Militarum – Devil Dog
Necrons – Ghost Ark
Craftworld Aeldari – Hornets
Orks – Megatrakk Scrapjets
T’au – Tiger Shark

Initiating Deep Striking
While five of the faction’s are from another DLC pack, which means that in this DLC, we don’t actually get to try out those five new units from the DLC factions. Which is kind of weird to include in units from the other DLC factions along with the available factions from the base game.
Follow us on Twitter

Tweet to @GamerBraves

The four factions that are available in the base games are the Space Marines, the Astra Militarum, the Necrons and the Orkz.
Starting the list of with the Astra Militarum and the newly added Devil Dogs unit. From the Warhammer 40k franchise, the Devil Dog aren’t actual dogs, instead they are variant of the Hellhound flame-thrower tanks. In Warhammer 40K Gladius, they are a fast tank unit with a deadly cannon that melts through armour like how it reminds me of the Sisters of Battle would raise hellfire with their Immolator tanks back in Dawn of War: Soulstorm.
And when we say fast, we meant really fast, even to the point where faster than the Scout Sentinels which are known to be fast units. Not only are they fast units but they also hit extremely hard against other vehicle-type units.
If you would rather branch out to the path of building an army of tanks and techpriests, the Devil Dog is a nice pick-up to your army considering the fact that they can be unlocked relatively early on in your tech tree. Nothing wrong with the alternative of bolstering your army up with cheaply mass-produced infantry men, there’s just something cool about ravaging the battlefield with huge ass tanks.
On the other side of the Imperium of Mankind, the Space Marines get their signature scout units in the Escalation pack. The Space Marine scouts who in my opinion excels as what their names would suggest.
You can use them during the early game to uncover your surrounding areas by using the scout move skill which reveals surrounding tiles to check if they’re any resources that you can claim as your own without spending too much resources yourself, along with their built in invisibility skill they’re perfect for recon missions. They’re also pretty good at long range poking and prodding since they have an attack range of 3 tiles.
For glory and for WAAAGH, the Orkz faction also gets access to their own early game vehicle being the Megatrakk Scrapjets which is a favourite amongst Speed Freeks and grounded Flyboyz alike. In Orkz-like fashion, the Megatrakk Scrapjets are best used for up close and personal situations. The Scrapjets can also be used from a distance as you revel at the marvels of seeing rokkits fly.
Last but certainly not least are the Necrons with the debut of the Ghost Ark which transports Necron Warriors to the battlefield.
More of a support unit rather than a siege machine like the rest of the other units added in the escalation pack, the Ghost Ark lets you both repair fallen Necron units as well as harbor them across the battlefield, which is insanely strong if you’re in a situation where the war of attrition is required as you can top up your unit’s health to continue the fight.
As the dusk settles, the Dawn of War begins
The Escalation pack offers a lot of early-game options for just about most of the factions and while it doesn’t exactly change the overall base gameplay, it’s nice to have some additional units to play around for each of the factions and offers a breath of fresh air, with can help a lot with replayabilty.

For those who are interesting in getting the Warhammer 40k Gladius – Escalation Pack, you can check it out from the Steam store.

Despite being marked by its bossfights, No More Heroes 3 isn’t a boss rush. As the trailer shows the game will contain regular enemy fights as well, similar to previous titles.
It also looks like the game will be taking some bold visual direction choices, particularly with the boss Velvet Chair Girl, who seemingly changes the whole style of the game for her boss fight
No More Heroes 3 is the latest title on the series, coming to the Nintendo Switch after the HD re-release of the original and No More Heroes II: Desperate Struggle.

MapleStory Blitz Launches In Selected Regions!

MapleStory Blitz, a spin-off mobile game based off the Maple IP by Nexon is finally officially launched! The game that was first announced in November 2016 took about a year to finally launch globally in 16 selected countries. Instead of the classic MapleStory RPG genre, this time MapleStory Blitz is a competitive card game where players will need to build their decks of 30 cards and play strategically against other players.

If you haven’t played during the soft-launch back in November 2017, the game is pretty much like Clash Royale, where you will need to play your card, deploy your unit on either of the 3 lanes and topple down your opponent’s base. The game features its own unique characters from the MapleStory universe like Mercedes, Phantom, Kyrin, Oz and many others to battle against the Black Mage (yes, there’s a story to it).

OR if you actually love the grind but don’t have much time to play it on PC, there’s also an upcoming mobile version called MapleStory M, which will be coming soon since it’s CBT ended just last month!

[Updated] Saber Confirmed For Melty Blood Type Lumina

Saber aka Artoria Pendragon from the Fate/Series has just been added to the upcoming fighting game Melty Blood Type Lumina.

UPDATE:

Saber Confirmed!! Here’s her trailer:

She won’t be in the main story but will have her own separate scenario.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Original Article:
A screenshot of Melty Blood: Type Lumina has been circulating on Twitter. The screenshot is of the game’s character select screen which features a certain Fate servant complete with sprite and character art.

The sprite and character artwork are completely original. Some have suggested the sprite is ripped from Saber’s guest appearance in Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel but upon closer inspection, they don’t seem to be the same. Considering how time-consuming it is to draw such art, it hints at this being genuine.
Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel (2015)
Rumors of Saber being in the new Melty Blood actually date back further to a Reddit post stating that she would be in the game. This Reddit post had accurately predicted other aspects of the game such as the inclusion and name of antagonist Vlov Arkhangel.
Melty Blood Type Lumina is meant to be a spin-off of the Tsukihime series which was made by the same developers and takes place in the same universe as Fate/Stay Night, the visual novel that Saber originated from. Considering how popular Fate and Especially Saber are due in part to Fate/Grand Order, she seems like an obvious pick for a guest character to help drive up sales.
Twitter has shown that Tsukihime/Melty Blood fans have mixed reactions with some disliking that a Fate character is appearing in a Tsukihime game after the franchise only just got out of its decade-long hiatus. Others dislike that Saber is appearing when many other Melty Blood staples like Sion, Satsuki, and Nrvnqsr Chaos will not be in the base game (there’s always a chance with DLC though).
It should also be noted though that Saber is not the first guest character to appear in Melty Blood from another Type-Moon property as Shiki Ryougi from Kara no Kyoukai previously appeared as a playable character in Melty Blood Actress Again.
Melty Blood Type Lumina will be released on the 30th of September for PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC.
