Seiyuu management game On Air! announced by Coly

In On Air!, players take take on the role of an unnamed female character who has been granted the chance to attend an elite boarding school best known for nurturing voice actors. As you prepare for a new life and a bright future, she is told that the school is being shut down soon. As the so-called “the chosen one”, you are tasked with the responsibility of reviving the school and lead 30 future stars to success.
Yes, the resemblance of the plot with a very particular 2D idol franchise is not lost on us. This is pretty much Love Live! but with cute boys. That said, the voice actor angle does sound particularly interesting.

[Update] Nikke Cherry Blossom Event Implies Robot Girls Can Get Pregnant

[UPDATE 31st March 2023] It has been confirmed that Nikke are not capable of being pregnant, as brought up by Sakura during one of the cutscenes in the Cherry Blossom event.

The description for the upcoming Cherry Blossom event in NIKKE: Goddess of Victory may have just dropped a surprising tidbit of lore about everyone’s favorite robot soldiers- they can apparently get pregnant.

Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

In the newly released description for the event, it’s revealed that new NIKKE Sakura has all the problems you’d expect of a mob boss- such as the need to get married to maintain her reputation.

With cherry blossom season in full bloom, rumors are swirling around the Ark that a kiss under a special sakura tree from the surface will grant everlasting love.
Meanwhile, Sakura faces constant pressure from the other members of Seimeikai about finding a husband and producing a successor. She proceeds to hatch up a scheme to feign an engagement under the sakura tree.

Despite the Commander doing the robot rock with several girls (or at least being implied to, as far as the game’s age rating would allow), the fact they might actually produce children is intriguing- does that mean they also have periods? Are their wombs artificial or made of what few human remains they have left?
The More Likely And More Boring Explanation
While at first this might be smoking gun evidence of canonically pregnant NIKKE girls, there is actually a little bit to unpack in the lore.
A recurring theme in many NIKKE stories is that the fact they’re cyborg death girls isn’t public information- characters like Diesel and Brid’s true natures are apparently a secret, despite the fact the last anyone saw of them was their untimely deaths.
NIKKE’s lore doesn’t always necessarily make sense- on one hand they’re supposed to be subhuman cyborgs usually converted out of either dead people or children, but on the other they’re also superstars and business conglomerates.
With that in mind it’s highly likely that it’s just another case of NIKKE finding more contrived scenarios to put you in romantic situations with the NIKKEs, and we’ll likely get some confirmation either way when the event drops this week.
Still, just like with the Monster Hunter quest girls laying eggs, it’s a fun hypothetical to toy around with and ignore that NIKKEs are, in fact, on the same level of body horror as Servitors from Warhammer 40K.

What is Sword Art Online Alicization Lycoris?
For the unaware, Sword Art Online is an animated series which is adapted from the light novel series written by Reki Kawahara. The story revolves around the main character Kirito, who goes on an adventure in both the virtual world set in the next generation online game called Sword Art Online, as well as in the real world.

Sword Art Online Alicization Lycoris is a faithful recreation of the story of Alicization up until the final battle against the Administrator who was the main boss in the first half the the story arc.
After the battle against the Administrator, the game then branches out from the adaptation by telling its own story.
Play as Kirito and go on and experience a new adventure along with Kirito’s allies as you get to meet whole new characters that have never been introduced in both the novels and anime.
Players also get to build their own party of four and utilise the game’s sword skills mechanic to battle against foes to achieve victory in Sword Art Online Alicization Lycoris.

Kicking off Predator League 2022 Finals Japan with Andrew Hou, President of Acer Pan Asia Pacific – The Future of the Predator Shield

All the regional Predator League games have led up to this one grand weekend in Tokyo, Japan, hosting the finals of the Asia Pacific Predator League 2022. Following the press conference, we had the chance to get more thoughts from Andrew Hou, President of Acer Pan Asia Pacific, with regards to the company moving forward, and of course, the Predator League itself.

Interview has been edited for clarity.

Andrew Hou has been in his position for over six years now, not to mention his lengthy tenure in Acer itself. After all this time, when it comes to the growth of technology, he acknowledges there are regions – such as Japan, besides the world at large – that are challenging to make inroads in. That can be either market share, or simply the development of tech itself, due to the different environments from nation to nation. Nonetheless, he believes there is still room to grow in the “younger” regions with greater potential, and thus, can expect greater change.
Andrew Hou, President of Acer Pan Asia Pacific.
Considering most people would associate Acer with general consumer products and PCs, Japan isn’t necessarily a country known for PC gaming. This merely spells more opportunities for Acer, with Andrew talking about leveraging the company’s strengths through focused marketing. He names Chromebooks, monitors, and an increasing interest in SpatialLabs as places of growth.

“Trends show that PC is on the rise, so we will continue to invest in the league in order to boost our presence.”
Andrew Hou
To that end, I could extrapolate that the increased interest in PC is in part due to people being unable to obtain the latest consoles, and the fact that quite a number of publishers – and large Japanese publishers at that – are releasing PC ports. PC players have been able to get previously console-exclusive releases in increasing frequency – Sony Interactive Entertainment with Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War, ATLUS with Persona 5 Royal to name some of the more recent ones – showing that PC is definitely a platform of interest.
Speaking of, the Asia Pacific Predator League 2022 Finals being in Japan could be seen as an odd choice, more so for hosting Dota 2 games. Andrew reveals it to be part of a pitch, one to make a greater impact on the local Dota 2 scene within the country, realizing the game’s presence here is fairly minimal. Win or lose, that first step is what’s important!
When it comes to the tournament itself, there are no plans at this stage for the Predator League Finals to have long playoff periods. “The focus is on increasing local engagement,” he tells us. Regional tournaments can be extended to find the best of the best out of the national talent pool, and they’ll face off with their peers for a high octane weekend.

On that note, Andrew also makes a nod towards mobile games. He opens up the possibility of the featured games to be different for a future iteration, depending on industry developments. As it were, a “truly global” finals league, so to speak, will be a challenge when regionals can feature wildly different games. It’s revealed that the decisions surrounding game titles and venue were put up to internal vote, so who knows what the future might bring?

Thanks to Andrew Hou for his insights into where Acer, and the Predator League will go in the surely not too distant future. Needless to say, both ‘regular’ people like us and esports hopefuls will have our respective chances to partake in this greater ecosystem.
Do stay tuned, and watch all the games of the Predator League!

How Malaysian Game Development Has Leveled Up With Virtuos KL Management Mufizal Mokhtar & Johaness Reuben

Level Up KL 2022 saw a host of Malaysia’s brightest talent take the stage and give some special insight into the world of gaming, just two of these people were Virtuos Kl General Manager Mufizal Mokhtar and Technical Arts Director Johaness Reuben.

                    Johaness Reuben

                    Mufizal Mokhtar

Mufizal Mokhtar worked at Ubisoft Singapore for over 10 years before returning home to lead Virtuos KL as well as creating some great sculptures with Royal Selangor. Johaness Reuben worked for 11 years as a game artist and later technical art director in the local game studio GameBrains.

Both are veterans of the local industry looking to teach and support the next generation of game developers through the recently opened Virtuos KL. Here is what they had to say in the interview.
Mobile, Console, and The SEA Gaming Market
Mufizal Mokhtar and Johaness Reuben at Level Up KL 2022
There’s no denying that within Malaysia and the rest of South East Asia, mobile gaming is king. So to start the interview, we asked the Virtuos duo how console gaming could gain more traction in the SEA region. Mufizal started by talking about what makes the mobile market so popular as well as what they themselves are doing to bring mobile players to consoles.
Follow us on Twitter

“The reason why it’s big is accessibility. Everybody has mobile phones right now and what the console market is doing right now is creating a lot more accessibility to let people get into video games. So now, you see a lot of partnerships between console games and mobile games to try and get people into consoles but the biggest barrier is, of course, accessibility.”
“In my opinion, to get people to play on consoles, we just need to continue to expose them to different types of games. Consoles have a lot more processing power and you can have versions of your game on mobile and once it’s popular, you can port it over to consoles which is what we are doing as a company. What we do is we port successful games from many different types of platforms into consoles so that the people playing these games can play them on many different types of consoles as well.”
Johaness quickly corrected him, however, saying that they didn’t port games, they adapted them: “I’ll add that typically a port means taking and doing a build on another platform but we actually adapt such as going from mouse and keyboard to controller, which means a completely different UI and design, a completely new thing. That’s what we do, we come in a do the adaptation”.
Mufizal says he sees far more of these adaptations coming in the next few years, hopefully bridging the gap between mobile and console gamers.
Keeping Malaysian Talent In Malaysia

A current concern in the Malaysian Gaming Industry is that many young talented developers often wish to leave to find employment in other countries. We asked them what could be done to keep talent within the country. The question was especially personal as one of those talents that left included Mufizal himself who went to work at Ubisoft Singapore.
“The topic is pretty close to my heart because I’m one of them. I left the country, but then I came back. I started my career in the video game industry in 2003 and Jo [Johaness] was the one that actually hired me. I worked in the local video game industry for about five years but there wasn’t a lot of opportunity out there.”
“I had no choice but to leave the country to expand my knowledge. Most of the time, people leave because they’ve hit a ceiling and they cannot learn anymore, there’s nowhere to go, and there are no more opportunities in Malaysia for people to better themselves and bring their careers to the next level. That’s what I had to do; I had to leave Malaysia to find more things to learn outside of Malaysia.”
He believes that the way to keep talent, and what Virtuos KL is ultimately trying to do is to give young Malaysian developers those opportunities that will allow them to progress further in a AAA Studio.
“You can grow within Virtuos KL as you’ll be given the opportunity to work on international brands and on complex projects that push your creativity and encourage you to grow as a game developer.”
He also pointed out that Virtuos KL is just one of 16 different regional Virtuos offices around the world and that they have a system called “missions”. This means that if you work for Virtuos KL, you’ll then get the opportunity to work in other offices in other countries. This allows developers to work outside of the country without fully disconnecting from Malaysia. They can obtain new experiences and add to their skill set while still staying in touch with home.
Preventing Crunch Culture
Virtuos KL Staff
There are many other problems plaguing video game development and one of them is crunch culture. There have been several notable cases over the years of developers being overworked so we thought to ask what Virtuos found to be the most effective way of preventing crunch.
“When you work in a creative industry, sometimes there will be times when people will be extra passionate about delivering the highest quality possible. There are repercussions to that because sometimes, people do get burnt out, and they do get tired. I think the best way to make sure people don’t get burnt out is to make sure you plan the production properly, ahead of time. You need a very strong production team, and a very strong project management team to make sure it does not happen in the first place. You know what they say, prevention is better than cure” says Mufizal.
He does however point out that sometimes a crunch is inevitable and when that happens, you need to compensate people accordingly either with time or money.
“What usually frustrates people is when time is taken away from them. For example, when I’m taking away your time to do my stuff, that’s when you feel frustrated because I want my own time, I want to spend time with my family, I want to spend time with my friends, I want to do my own stuff but I have to work and do stuff for you instead.”
“In order to do that [complete the project] though, sometimes crunch is inevitable, not just in video games but in every creative production process, there will be a time when you’ll need to push the boundary a bit. Unfortunately, when it does happen, the best way to make them feel better about it is to give them back the time that we’ve taken away from them. So, we can do that by giving them extra time off so that they can rest after the overtime or you compensate them with extra pay for the time that they have given. I think that is the best way to do it. Prevent it, and if you cannot prevent it, then compensate them and give them back the time.”
On top of that Johaness emphasized that they always tried to monitor each employee’s mental health and that they should feel safe to talk or complain to the higher management about any concerns they are having.
“We constantly monitor people’s mental health. We’re always engaging with them and seeing if things are okay. It’s not purely about whether they are able to work but where they are as a person”.
Education
Virtuos KL Office
Video game development, of course, starts with education. As such we questioned the Virtuos management on if they thought Malaysian schools would soon adopt subjects like computer science as subjects. According to Johaness, they already have:
“I’ve just met a school that has digital science and natural science starting from Form 1 of lower secondary. If you saw a whole bunch of kids in uniforms running around [Level Up KL 2022], it’s that school. I spoke with the lady [in charge of the kids] and we spoke for a bit. They’re already starting this subject, it’s already happening, and this would definitely get better over time.”
Mufizal however says that while it will happen, you don’t need to do comp sci to become a game developer.
“The short answer is yes. But when it comes to video game development, I think you can apply your life experience to make video games. You don’t have to be a computer scientist to be a game developer, you could be a physicist, you could be an artist. You can be a person that really likes Lego blocks or be an architect.”
“In the future and it’s coming fast I think people will need to understand how technology works in order for them to adapt and express their creative freedom. Back in the 1500s, if you want to express creative freedom, you needed to understand how oil paintings worked, you needed to understand how brushes worked. Nowadays, we think that’s traditional but back then, that was considered cutting-edge. We may think that they are traditional but I still think that brushes and oil painting are technology and coming forward today, brushes and oil paintings are computers.”
Parents and Video Games
Virtuos Kl Office
Connecting to education, we asked if they were seeing Southeast Asian parents’ attitudes to video games and video game development as a career change. Back in the day, we all heard the famous “video games will rot your brains” line but with how ubiquitous the medium is, that has to have changed right? According to the two developers, it thankfully seems to be changing.
 “I think so,” says Mufizal. “I think people start to see video games as a viable career choice because the convergence is happening really quickly. I see my friends who are parents early on in their child’s life asking their children questions like “Why are you spending so much time playing video games? Today, they’re like “what kind of games can they play? What kind of games can they play to learn new things and skills?”
“The attitude is definitely changing because developing video games goes beyond just playing games. It’s a study of life, it’s a study of human behavior, it’s a study of many many things. People are coming to understand that video game development is just as important of a career out there and are becoming more open to their kids starting out in this industry.”
Johaness also says that this change is again thanks to the accessibility of mobile games, noting that “It’s taken 30 years for my mum to figure out what I do but now she knows because she hears video games and says “oh, you mean like Candy Crush?” You find even those who are not gamers, they may be accountants in their 50s suddenly going like “now I understand what this is” and when their kid says “I wanna learn this”, they already know. That has really bridged the information gap and I believe that’s accessibility. It has really helped the younger generation of gamers to grow while also bringing the older generation back in. I strongly believe the future of video game development is bright!”
The Challenge of Finding New Media
The Kabaret, developed by Persona Theory Games, a local Malaysian Indie Studio
We ended our interview by asking Mufizal and Johaness what challenges the Malaysia Video Game industry currently faces. The two said that currently there weren’t many big challenges the industry really faced, at least not compared to a few years ago. They did however say that they would like for local Malaysian-made games to be more present in the media.
“There are a lot of people making really great games but there aren’t enough platforms for them to show off their games. We have a lot of media channels, we have radio channels, and we have national television and I truly hope that these media will start to understand the importance of the video game industry.”
“When I was in Amsterdam, Singapore, and Hong Kong, I’d be in the cinema, and Call of Duty comes up in the cinema ads. I would love for this to be the case in our local cinema, showing off our local content as well. At the end of the day, people don’t get enough visibility for these great games they’re making which then doesn’t push the games to their ultimate success.”
I should note that I have seen ads for video games like Demon Slayer: The Hinogami Chronicles and Dislyte in the Kuala Lumpur MRT trains and stations but those aren’t local titles. Perhaps seeing ads for local video games will be the next big step.
Virtuos KL

When we asked what made Virtuos KL different from all the other branches of Virtuos around the world, Mufizal told us that they’re ultimately the same however he believes in the Malaysian Games Industry’s raw talent. “I wanted Virtuos to come to KL because I firmly believe that Malaysia has the talent pool that will help further accelerate the growth of the local game development industry and economy.”
After going to Level Up KL 2022, I firmly believe that as well. Walking through the halls of the main conference room, I was treated by so many enthusiastic developers sharing a number of creative and innovative titles, some I was familiar with others I’d never heard of but am now very excited to play more of. If this is what we have to look forward to, Malaysia’s gaming industry certainly is bright.
We thank Mufizal Mokhtar and Johaness Reuben from Virtuos KL for taking the time to speak with us in this interview and wish them to best of luck on their future projects.

Marvel’s Wolverine Announced By Insomniac Games

In their second big reveal of the night, Insomniac announced Marvel’s Wolverine would be coming to the PS5.

Very little is currently known about the project- according to Insomniac’s Ryan Schneider, it’s still very early in development- but we can expect a lot of the same goals that Marvel’s Spider-Man set out for in that game, here.

“Marvel’s Wolverine is a standalone game being directed by Brian Horton (creative director) and Cameron Christian (game director), who recently led the creative efforts on Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, a game we’re extremely proud of at Insomniac”, he says.
“In the vein of our Spider-Man games, our goal here is to not only respect the DNA of what makes the character so popular, but also look for opportunities to make it feel fresh and truly reflect the Insomniac spirit. Even though Marvel’s Wolverine is very early in development, from what I’ve seen of its emotional narrative and cutting-edge gameplay (see what I did there?), the team is already creating something truly special”

Unfortunately this little information means the game has no release date, though it’s safe to assume that just like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 it’s going to be a PS5 exclusive. Considering the name, we can also safely assume that it’s going to be a Wolverine solo adventure, instead of a secret X-Men game.

Mob Psycho 100: Psychic Battle, after having launched over a year ago, has announced its shut down. The announcement on their Facebook page is as follows:

Dear Psychics,

Thank you for the continuous love and support. Today, we must share the news that the game, Mob Psycho 100: Psychic Battle, will come to an end.

In advance of sunsetting the game, in-app purchases will be available until April 29, 2021 5:00PM PT, when the game’s payment system will be turned off. Thereafter, the game will not be accepting any in-app payments or refunds. The mobile game will continue to be playable until June1, 2021 7:00PM PT, at which point the game will be shut down from the servers.

From all the partners involved in this development and publishing process, we appreciate the continuous support of the game and the love for the game.

Considering how the last update for the page was in October 2020 without even an apparent commemoration for the first anniversary of Mob Psycho 100: Psychic Battle, this shut down was probably inevitable. Unfortunate for those who liked the game, but at least it managed to last a year, one supposes.

You can check out our first impressions of the game here, if you were wondering how it played.

Ys VI Online: The Ark of Napishtim dated

As previously reported, Falcom is bringing Ys VI The Ark of Napishtim to the mobile platforms, and it will launch sometime in spring 2021 in Japan. Curiously enough, the game has just been renamed to Ys VI Online: The Ark of Napishtim, and is now a free-to-play title. The implications behind this move is unknown as this juncture, considering that the original game was fully-single player.

Falcom first launched the game for PC in September 2003, followed by a PlayStation 2 and PSP release in 2005 and 2006, respectively. The PC version via Steam then came out in April 2015. An overview of the game, via its Steam page as follows:
Red-haired adventurer extraordinaire Adol Christin has finally reunited with his best pal, Dogi, and is eager to set sail for new adventures in Afroca. It seems fate has other plans for him, however, as a pirate captain named Ladoc makes him an offer he simply can’t refuse: a chance to explore a dangerous, uncharted archipelago in the Atlas Ocean that may hold treasures of heretofore unseen value.

Never ones to back away from a good mystery, Adol and Dogi both agree to join Ladoc on this expedition aboard his ship, the “Tres Mares” — but no sooner does it weigh anchor than the Romuns, their sights set on the same curious islands of Canaan, attack the wayward pirates and ultimately knock Adol overboard, leaving him for dead.
Some time later, he washes ashore in Canaan itself, alive but weakened, rescued and resuscitated by two young girls named Isha and Olha who sport long ears and bushy tails. They are of the native “Rehda” tribe, and it seems Adol is not the first human to arrive here — nor are humans particularly welcome…
Come experience the very first 3D Ys game as you’ve never experienced it before! Already the foundation upon which Ys: The Oath in Felghana and Ys Origin would later be built, this version of Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim comes equipped with an original translation and brand new, entirely unique gameplay features such as the addition of a super hardcore “Catastrophe Mode” for fans of the later titles, full widescreen support, map warping, Steam achievements and leaderboards, and even a full digital art book packed with concept sketches, hi-res character portraits and original production PSDs.
See what you’ve been missing with this definitive version of the game that brought Ys into the modern era!

Nippon Ichi Software has just opened pre-registration for Makai Wars, its upcoming smartphone game, which is accompanied by its opening movie. To recap, Makai Wars is a strategy RPG developed by Nippon Ichi Software for the PlayStation 3 way back in 2005. We are not sure how much things have changed since then, but you can count on the developer to not only optimise the game but also introduce some additions specific for the platform.

In any case, all users who pre-register will receive “Goddess of Abundance – Freya” for free. Makai Wars is scheduled for a release for Android and iOS in Spring 2018. If you are a fan of this genre, there is really no better game you want to try out, as Nippon Ichi Software has been working on such titles pretty much since its inception.

Fatal Frame Maiden of Black Water Comes to Nintendo Switch

The game takes place on Mt. Hikami, a mountain famous for disappearance cases and rumored to be home to ghosts and spirits.
Like other Fatal Frame games you’ll be using a spiritual camera to take photos of spirits and defeat them. On top of that you’ll also have multiple characters to control, as you navigate through the mysteries of Mt. Hikami.

Similar to Pokemon Snap, just snapping photos of spirits won’t be enough. You’ll need to get clear shots of their faces, so a fast trigger finger and sense of timing are going to be paramount for new players.
Interestingly enough, this is the second big announcement related to Fatal Frame to come out this year. Albeit, though, the first announcement was a pachinko machine.
According to Nintendo, this version of Fatal Frame Maiden of Black Water will also include costumes for your characters, letting you dress them up for their creepy horror adventure across the mountains. It will also include new photo modes, though Nintendo haven’t elaborated exactly what they mean by this.

Many of the enemies and myths that players encounter in the DLC are based on the text.

The game features all 11 idols from the titular group and rudimentary story mode that delves deeper into each character. It boasts a fully-fleshed out 3D mode and an MV mode if you just want to see the girls perform. Of course, the meat of the game is the songs themselves, and 22/7 Music Team features both original and cover songs. Given the backing behind the game, the cover song list is rather extensive and comprises the likes as follows:
・ヘビーローテーション
・走れ！ペンギン
・オーマイガー！
・コネクト
・oath sign
・SPEED STAR
・センチメンタルクライシス

At a glance, it has the makings of what one would expect from games of such a genre, though how it plans to stand out from the rest remains to be seen. Based on what it is shown so far, the game appears to be fairly formulaic, so if anything, it will end up being functional at the very least. However, with such a crowded market, the game definitely needs something to stand out from the rest, but what that is remains to be seen.

For the time being, be sure to tune in the currently airing anime to build some context before delving into 22/7 Music Time. The basis of such games is the connection built between the user and the idols, and the anime is a good platform to facilitate that. If you like what you see, only then pick up the game when it comes out in two months or so. For more information, drop by the official website.

The Razer Hammerhead True Wireless runs on Bluetooth 5.0 meaning that you can expect some pretty stable connection with rarely any disconnection when during usage time. Users with the Razer App can check on the remaining battery life of the headset.

Speaking of which, the headset allows up to 3 hours of battery life and the headset box can bring up a total of 15 hours of battery life, being able to withstand moderate to heavy usage before the battery drains out.
Another great thing about these wireless headset is that it features an automatic connection function so that users are able to connect with a paired device as quick as lightning after turning on the headsets.

The ergonomically designed cavity of the headset fits in the ears pretty well, and the wearing experience performance is very good. Even after wearing it for a long time, there is no feel of pain or discomfort in the auricle part and the earphone can be firmly fixed even in the case of walking and light exercise without it falling off which makes it perfect for daily use.
Quick as Lightning

This combination of the Razer DeathAdder Essentials & Razer Goliathus Speed pair reps in the striking electric mouse theme which makes use of the cuter side of aesthetics. The DeathAdder mouse offers a 6,400 DPI optical sensor which is faster than your average mouse.
The mouse weighs at a moderate 105 grams meaning that using the mouse shouldn’t put in that much strain to your wrist even during a long period of time. While using the DeathAdder, I was able to rest my hand fully on the mouse which makes using the mouse felt really comfortable.
While playing FPS games with the mouse, it might take some time to get used to the high sensitivity that the mouse offers but it does provide some advantages if you’re being flanked from behind or that you want to flick a shot since moving your sights can be achieved easily.

Although one main gripe regarding the mouse is that you’re unable to change the DPI without the Razer app which can be relatively annoying at certain times but it’s not too bad.
Meanwhile, the Razer Goliathus Speed is pretty slick and the taut weave provides a smooth surface for the mouse to glide over and it’s optimized for all sensitivity settings and sensors so that any swipe you make on your mouse would be effective.

Thunderous Typing with Precise Actuation

The Razer Ornata keyboard follows the Pikachu theme in terms of aesthetics and also features independent backlit keys, and you can even customize the dynamic yellow light effects of the keyboard by using Razer Synapse.  Each of the keys are Razer Mecha-Membrane switches provide a satisfying typing experience that blends the soft, cushioned touch of rubber membrane keys with the crisp and tactile click of the mechanical keys.

At the same time, To minimize fatigue over long periods of use, the keyboard comes with an ergonomic wrist rest that adds a greater level of comfort and support and it’s Pikachu-inspired design creates the perfect vibe for any Pikachu fan out there. The hand rest is separated from the main body of the keyboard, and is connected by magnetic attraction, which can be perfectly connected with the keyboard, and the distance of the hand rest can be adjusted according to your own feel.

For all you Pokemon fans out there that want some style in your gaming rig, the Razer Pikachu Limited Edition set should be the optimal choice for you, With comfort and style being the main factor, this set is definitely worth the investment. For more information, be sure to check out official Razer Website or you can purchase the set through the official Razer shop on Shopee.

Saints Row (2022) Review – I’m Fed Up with the Current Gangs in Santo Ileso so I Made My Own Gang

Developers Deep Silver Volition’s action-adventure game Saints Row (2022) which is the reboot of the series and with the game coming out on 23rd of August, here’s our review for the game.

Getting into Turf Wars
Saints Row (2022) has aim assist by default while during combat, meaning that it’ll auto move your crosshair to your closest target and while the aim assist can help you aim down enemies, it does have some tracking issues when it comes to targets that are moving in slightly higher speed or when they perform dodges so it’s note-worthy to keep track of when you want to have aim assist on. But personally, as an FPS player, I’d have aim assist turn off because I’m used to aiming without the feature.

On the topic of combat, while I personally think that the shooting feedback is satisfying to feel in game with hitting enemies and landing headshots have different sound effects, I feel the lack of weight coming from said sound effects, so personally if the sound effects during gunfights were slightly enhanced, it would bring more satisfaction to me when I kill off the enemies.
When players are out of combat, there’s an auto-health recovery mechanic where your health will replenish over time, so you won’t have to worry about regenerative items like health kits or whatnot. Another way for players to get health back is by running up to the enemy and pressing the “X” button to perform and execution. It doesn’t fully recover your health points and the execution also has a cooldown timer and not all enemy types can be executed.

The ammo you can carry for your weapons are generally limited but there are some missions where you have an unlimited amount of bullets. In those instances where your ammo are limited, you’ll need to kill the enemies within the mission to replenish your ammo. You generally don’t have to worry about locating the enemies since they appear in the mini-map.
There are some missions where the player will be partnered up with an AI and while they can help you out during the shoot-offs, you’ll need to keep track of your partner’s health too because not only that if you die which causes the mission to fail, having your partner die will also cause a game over. But on the bright side, your partner doesn’t instantly die when their health drops to zero, they will get downed and you’ll have a limited amount of time to save them but of course, you’ll need to make sure there aren’t any enemies nearby or you’ll be left defenseless when trying to aid your partner.
The Perks of Santo Ileso
In our review of Saints Row (2022), players have access to skills, both passive and active skills that can be unlocked by leveling up. These skills can be used to your advantage by protecting the player by throwing smoke grenades or you can use them offensively by using explosives to clear up a group of enemies.
As for perks on the other hand, instead of getting them through level ups, the players instead have to unlock them by completing the challenges in game. There are a total of 3 different tiers for the perks: Minor, Major and Elite and each of the slots will need the players to unlock them by spending money and with the perk being higher in level, the challenges to unlock them will increase in difficulty.
Skills and perks aren’t the only unlockable things in Saints Row (2022), players can also unlock abilities, weapons and even vehicles that are also locked behind challenges. Once players have successfully complete a task, the weapons will also unlock its signature ability. One of the examples being the KA-1 Kobra Pistol where you are able to kill off 20 people on the roof of a vehicle. Once completed, you’ll be able to unlock the effect of automatic reloading your pistol if you were to land a headshot with one of the last few rounds of your pistol magazine.
Personally speaking, these challenges are pretty unique to the weapons in game but also relatively specific which can be rather tedious for people to complete but it might be fun for people who like to look for challenges in their games.
There’s No Back-Seat In This Ride
Driving is an important element when it comes to Saints Row (2022) as it’s the main mode of traveling. The player has access to drive any type of cars and other types of vehicles such as the Hovermotor or a helicopter and freely explore the city, you’re also free to steal other people’s vehicles if you somehow mess up your current ride, or if you just want to be a jerk in the game.
Personally speaking, one of my favourite parts of driving is the drifting feature that they implemented in the game and it’s easily performed too, you just need to press the space button when driving and you can be part of Dom Teretto’s family.
But it’s not all clear and empty roads in Saints Row (2022) as you’ll encounter enemies on your drive and they’re just about as aggressive as a Myvi driver on the highways in Malaysia.  Those enemies will try to shoot you down and ram down your car and to avoid it, you can press the “A/D + Right” button to dodge the enemy’s onslaught on your vehicle.
The players will have access to using weapons to shoot back at the enemy while driving but if you’re the main driver, there isn’t much choices to your weaponry but if you’re on the passenger seat, you can use whatever weapons that you have and even have to option to climb onto the roof of your car to shoot down the enemies but at the cost of being extremely vulnerable when on top of a car.
As you explore more places in Saints Row (2022), the more places that will open up and that means more access to fast travel points which can cut the time of traveling from one point to another. To unlock fast travel of a certain location, players will need to grab out their phones to take a picture of the location. But it’s worth noting that players won’t get to have access to fast traveling when they’re currently on a mission.
Cash Is King
In Santo Ileso, not only do you have the main story line, but there’s also a variety of different playable content that allows you to earn money and upgrade your weapons as well as perks and skills.
One of the different ways of earning money is the bounty feature in Saints Row (2022). As the name suggests, players will need to kill off wanted bounties that are posted on your phone app in designated locations. There are some instances where the bounty that you’re trying to kill off have already been captured by the police so the way you can work around it is to be a law abiding citizen and kill off the police at the same time.
There are also other ways where the player can earn some extra side income is by completing some of the tasks that are available on the map. Those tasks consists of different types which comprises of eliminating threats, dealing with side hustles, finding new discoveries and just store quests, each with their own degree of difficulties.
Since the main goal is to build up your criminal empire, the Criminal Venture feature is a key factor in Saints Row (2022). Players have access to the Criminal Empire List from headquarters where you’ll be able to expand your businesses in 14 different open spaces after you complete the main mission “Expanding People”.
Dressed to Kill
At the beginning of the game, you’re able to customise the appearance of your playable character and let’s just say that the character customisation in our review of Saints Row (2022) offers a lot of details for players to tweak about.
And if you change your mind on how you want your character to look like after playing through the game, you’ll have access to the character customisation through your phone or your headquarters so you don’t have to worry too much about making the perfect character at the start of the game.
The game also offers costumes and accessories which players can gradually unlock as you progress through the game and these cosmetics don’t affect the character’s stats or abilities so players are free to mix and match according to personal preferences.
Verdict
In our review of Saints Row (2022), the game is still able to faithfully keep the series’ crazy and nonsensical antics which makes the games such a fun ride to play through. There’s so much to do in the game and most of the tasks are pretty interesting to go through and the customisation is generous enough for players to add in their own  personal flair to the game without sullying the overall enjoyment.
Although, my main gripes are that the enemy types aren’t as varying as I’d hope them to be and the lack of interesting boss-type enemies makes fighting the rival gangs not feel as exciting.

                                        Pros

                                        Cons

                                        Vast Customisation Options

                                        Lack of interesting enemy types

                                        Interesting side content for players to do

                                        Driving is fun
