Three Kingdoms Blade heads to Japan

Three Kingdoms Blade, after having initially launched in Korea on 13 January 2017, will soon be available in Japan come the first quarter of 2021. The game actually launched in the Southeast Asian region, but it appears it is no longer active.

For the unfamiliar, as the name suggests, the game is based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, developed by Action Square. It is made with the Unreal 4 engine, and is an action RPG that plays out similarly to Dynasty Warriors. It has additional features, namely some base building as well as the ability to go forth and pillage another player’s base. If you hadn’t tried its home release, you will soon have the option to play from 30 over characters in the Japan release of Three Kingdoms Blade.

A new battlefield
Balance adjustments
In-built reroll feature
A combat system refresh from skills to visuals
PvP changes

Announcing ROBA – Ragnarok Battle Academy!

Ragnarok Battle Academy, or ROBA, is currently being developed in collaboration between Gravity and Extreme Studio!

Ragnarok Online is an incredibly popular MMORPG, more so in Thailand, published under Electronics Extreme. Electronics Extreme moved to establish Extreme Studio in 2016 to maintain a hold in the gaming industry, looking to develop games and applications. Electronics Extreme’s in-depth knowledge of Ragnarok led Gravity to co-develop this new Ragnarok IP with them.

He believes this collaboration is a significant step for Thailand’s gaming industry.

ROBA is a combination of “Ragnarok‘s RPG style and battle royale”. Like the Training Ground of Ragnarok Online, players will begin as Novices. Team up, practice and survive! Hunt monsters and bosses to gain EXP and equipment. Pick the right equipment and skills to get an advantage in fights! Don’t forget to avoid the Red Zone while you defeat other survivors!

Ragnarok Battle Academy is currently at 80% development. Further tests and checks will be done to ensure the game will be perfected. On completion, it will launch in Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries. Look forward to it!

Red Dead Redemption 2 Review – Bury Me Not

After nearly a decade, we finally have a follow up to Rockstar Games’ hit open-world wild west game in the form of Red Dead Redemption 2. It was by no means a smooth ride as the game went through a delay and a scandal involving the harsh working conditions the developer allegedly put its staff through. That said, none of this would really stop the game from selling several millions of copies, but you already knew that coming into this Red Dead Redemption 2 review.

Unless you have been a coma for the past few years, you will know that Red Dead Redemption 2 is a prequel to the original game, although it still has the slow death of the wild west as its central theme. By the time 1899 came around, outlaws in the US have become an endangered species.

Putting yourself in the boots of a certain Arthur Morgan, you will experience firsthand being a member of a notorious gang led by Dutch van der Linde, whom some of you may remember as the primary antagonist from the original game. Fresh off a failed heist, the gang has been pushed back to the snowy mountains after being pursued by authorities. Stuck in a hostile environment on the brink of death, thus begins your grand adventure.

Rockstar has always been the master of the open world, and nothing was able to top Grand Theft Auto V until now. Unlike Grand Theft Auto V where the challenge was to essentially create a facsimile of Los Angeles for its setting, the developer is tasked with creating a living and breathing world that feels natural and believable. To say that Rockstar succeeded with much aplomb is simply understating it.

Without hyperbole, Red Dead Redemption 2 is by far one of the best looking game for the current generation of consoles. Instead of a drab desert environment that one would come to expect from a game set in the wild west, you will take Arthur through not only just that but also green pastures, swampy areas, snowy terrain and even modern civilisation. The variety is what makes the world feel alive and real, and the decisions you make throughout the course of the game will alter its surroundings.

Anyone unfamiliar with the original and came here expecting Grand Theft Auto with cowboys and horses will be disappointed by this slow-paced old west period piece, as you will be spending much of your time galloping through the world on your house. While there is plenty of action to be had here in terms of shootouts, high-speed chases and escapes as well as train robberies, the majority of these moments are interspersed from just being in a particular location and interacting with the environment.
Whether you like it or not, you are required to live out the world as you would in real life. As such, you will need to perform tasks as eating, sleeping and even grooming yourself. Thankfully, Rockstar takes a more middle of the ground approach to the survival aspects of this game, so you are never truly bogged down by it.

Once you leave the snowy mountain regions at the start to a warmer territory, the entire game opens up to you right away. You are free to proceed with the story or simply just interact with the world itself. It is here that Red Dead Redemption 2 introduces even more of the new mechanics, adding even greater depth than we initially expected.
The first thing you would want to do is to take care of yourself, or in this case Arthur. Like a real person, you will need to keep him fed and well-rested. Maybe even give him a shave. Next you will need to check on your gear and equipment, which in itself is an activity of its own. You will need to dress according to the weather, as wearing thick clothing in the middle of summer will not be a smart idea. After that, your trusty steed will require tending to, and much like their human counterpart, horses have the same number of needs.
Treat your horse with as much care as you possibly can, as it not only is your companion for pretty much the entire game but also your primary means of transportation. While it sounds like a lot of things that need doing, the system is so organically integrated that it never does feel an annoyance.

While the writing and storyline is praise-worthy on its own, it is the world and activities that impresses us the most. This is unlike your typical open world game where you simply follow the dots to complete a specific objective. Active missions in Red Dead Redemption 2 have markers as do core NPCs. Everything else however, you will have to discover yourself by interacting with the world.
While it may get fairly overwhelming at times, you have your trusty Eagle Eye at your disposal which helps you highlight important objects or hints. It is only through exploration where you will be able to discover the numerous side missions and activities scattered across the vast expanse. It is this very sense of discovery that sets Rockstar’s open world games apart from the rest.

The population of Red Dead Redemption 2 reacts accordingly to your actions, so if you play either as a good guy or bad guy, there are consequences. Your reputation matters a lot in this game, as it affects how quests will play out and how everyone else treats you.
The game takes it a step further by having the population remember whatever it is you have done before in the past. Be a champion of the people and you will have people greeting you and welcoming you to their abode. Shopkeepers will also give you a discount for being a model citizen. However if you have been terrorising the people before, everyone will be accordingly hostile towards you, and it will be that much more difficult to navigate the world as people are out for your blood.

In the end it is safe to say that Rockstar has managed to pull it off once again with Red Dead Redemption 2, achieving its goal of being a bit of everything, a competent shooter set in the wild west, an engaging human drama and a class on US history.

FFVIIR anime on Netflix in the works?

A certain rumour has been circulating about FFVIIR to receive an anime in conjunction with Netflix. Credited to a source within the marketing department of Square Enix America, they claim that the project will be directed by Tetsuya Nomura, covering events that precede the game for its first section, with the second to be dedicated to events occurring simultaneously during the game, and perhaps something for the future.

That sounds good and all, but the only apparent source is through a 4chan board, and rumours should be taken with a grain of salt regardless. An anime for FFVIIR is certainly not a stretch, of course, and with Netflix being one of the names billed to also stream the FFXIV live action, it is within the realm of plausibility. Speaking of which, the source says the FFXIV show is in the final stages of production.

Interestingly, a Kingdom Hearts anime is allegedly also in the works, which Tetsuya Nomura is also named as director. Supposedly made entirely in CG, the “shorter but more complex” anime will include events across the game franchise, including from Union X, Birth by Sleep and 3. Due to the properties involved, this anime is speculated to be hosted on Disney+.

Final Fantasy XVI Has A Story Of Pomp, Grandeur And Delicious Revenge

In a world of meta humor, it’s refreshing to see just how far Final Fantasy XVI is willing to take its story. The story of Clive and the dominants is one of bloody revenge- with factions vying for power, and people clawing for their own place in the world.

We got to try a special build of the game, playing through the first 4 hours of the game- watching Clive go on what I like to call the “Guts bootcamp of character development” as he goes from starry eyed knight-in-training to grieving royal who’s lost everything.

Related Posts

Disclaimer: This is a special version made for media to experience, and contents may differ from the final version
My biggest take away from Final Fantasy XVI is just how grand a scale it operates- it’s a theatrical game in the best sense of the word. Dramatic moments are presented with an absolute bang that’s not just for Final Fantasy newbies, as it cheekily references other titles in the decades-long franchise. There’s a scene in which a Dragoon strikes the pose- just as he dives down to engage you in a fight. To the new player, it’s incredibly cool- a dragon-knight by moonlight is never going to not be. To the storied fan, it’s an iconic reference that makes you wanna scream in joy.

Submitting To Dominants
Whoever decided Benedikta should smoke a long pipe is one of excellent taste and fancy | FINAL FANTASY XVI © 2023 SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved.
Of course, the stars of the story are definitely the game’s Dominants- hosts of the Eikons. I love me a good Robot Master-style boss roster, and the Dominants are a pretty good example of that. From literally the first time you see them, you can tell they’re not all the same- some countries treat their Dominants like walking curses, while others revere them.
In a sense it almost feels like the Dominants are quite unlike any other characters in the game- characters like Archduke Murdoch are great, sure, but at the end of the day his scope of concerns start and end with the responsibilities of the Archduke. On the other hand the Dominants are kind of like walking rockstars- for as loyal as they are to their kingdoms, you can tell they’ve got their own wants and needs, and when they talk to each other it’s with all the tension of people who can turn into massive kaiju when provoked.
It creates a great atmosphere among the ruling class in the game- basically all warfare is built around an inherent fear of Dominants. It’s tense in a way that doesn’t feel overstated- rather than have characters suddenly crackle with energy as they argue, it’s more of a subdued understanding not to piss off the dudes radiating main character energy.
Admittedly, it does have its downsides in the fact that they steal the show a little too much- the early hours of the game have Clive dealing with a lot of unimportant NPCs, and you definitely feel it when you’re watching Clive hunt goblins with fantasy Biggs and Wedge when all you wanna do is get back to the leather-clad lady who calls you her little lamb.
RPG Things
Just because everyone’s talking about Dominants and Eikons doesn’t mean there’s not regular monsters to fight | FINAL FANTASY XVI © 2023 SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved.
If anything, the preview is a good way to sell us on the idea that for as many air combos as you can do in the game, Final Fantasy XVI is still very much a JRPG at heart, story and all. Clive still runs around hub worlds, needing to gather materials and fight monsters on his quest for revenge. Considering how action-heavy and intense the last preview was, it was almost refreshing to see the game shift down a few gears as early Clive has a much more limited moveset. For goodness’ sake, we don’t even get Torgal until the tail end of the preview. A life without canine-assisted air combos, imagine that?
Still, I think it’s a great way to ease people into the idea of a new genre- for the action fans, you’re likely to be won over by the more JRPG side of things as they basically act as content sat between your action sequences. Meanwhile, the assist tools are great for people who prefer their action turn-based but are open to walking the path of flashy air combos.
Soon you will be all that stands between the weight of gravity and smokin’ sexy style | FINAL FANTASY XVI © 2023 SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved.
I’m especially a big fan of how often “big” enemy fights show up- these get you a victory fanfare on kill, where the game tells you how many skill points you’ve got so you can upgrade Clive’s moves. It’s a small gesture, but considering I’m anxiously waiting to get the next level stinger and helm splitters, these are the closest you’re going to get to DMC-style Mission Clear screens.
Speaking of, it’s not like those fights are any pushovers either. It’s impressive to see how cool even normal wildlife are- having all sorts of cool mechanics going for them like an Uragaan-style roll. It even makes great use of the RPG aesthetic, as bosses have their moves show up on the top of the screen. You’d think it was cheesy but it actually works really well- not so much to be informative, but just for dramatic flair.
Building Excitement
FINAL FANTASY XVI © 2023 SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved.
Honestly, it’s hard to not just be taken aback by how grandiose everything is in Final Fantasy XVI. There’s a lot to this game that you just have to experience first hand to get- and a lot of the challenge comes from just describing it without spoiling it for the others.
It’s definitely a lot darker and more violent- characters bleed, cuss and even get… intimate. Considering how many Final Fantasy games have always skirted around such things, it’s interesting to see the game just go for it. It’s obviously not going to be to everyone’s taste- considering how much sailor-speak Benedikta gets up to its easy to assume the worst and that everyone was going to be like that, but once you put more time into the game it’s actually really just a temper to her own bad temper.
Despite all that, Clive is still far from a brooding edgelord. He does reach out and talk to other people, and his banter with Cid is that iconic Final Fantasy bro energy you love to see- making some of their adventures an absolute delight despite the absolutely horrid atrocities that make up its backdrop.
I always love a good and proper blockbuster game, and Final Fantasy XVI is certainly joining those ranks with its dramatic story. There’s a free demo coming soon ahead of the game’s release this June 22nd, so hopefully those who are still on the fence can be won over and get in on the adventures of Clive in politics, revenge and giant monster boss fights.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Ben and Erica grew up together in Bergen Village.
Because Ben had promised Erica that he would always be with her on her birthday, he infiltrates into St. Rosemary’s Girls’ School to keep his promise.
However, there was a sudden attack on the school by monsters. Ben bumps into the Valkyrie Maidens who came to fight off the monsters, and he gets caught.
Ben is on the verge of being punished for trespassing on a girl’s school. Thanks to the gracious principal who thinks high of Ben’s ability, he becomes the manager of Shining Valkyria instead of being punished.
In their first mission, Ben and the Shining Valkyria Maidens find a mysterious artifact in the forest.
And as Ben touches it, a strange girl’s voice resonates…
“My name is Norne. Please lead me to the right Line of Destiny.”
Thus, their long journey begins.

Currently, Shining Maiden only has an Android release. An iOS version will release sometime in the future. In the meantime, be sure to follow the game’s Facebook page to stay up-to-date with new events and developments.

Preparing For Burning Crusade – World of Warcraft Classic Interview With John Hight and Brian Birmingham

One of the most defining moments of World of Warcraft’s history was the release of Burning Crusade, the first expansion for the long-running MMO. After all, it’s not like it was a sequel to WoW, since you still needed base WoW to play it. You also got treated to Illidan, one of the most iconic Warcraft characters, right up there with Arthas and Thrall.

We spoke to John Hight, Executive Producer of World of Warcraft Classic and Brian Birmingham, Lead Software Engineer to talk about the thrills of bringing back the expansion with Burning Crusade Classic, the first expansion for World of Warcraft Classic announced at Blizzconline this past weekend. .

Making The Choice To Move On
Obviously, one of the most dangerous things about adding expansions to World of Warcraft Classic is that it kinda goes against the ethos of the return to WoW’s simpler days. While some players are happy to relive the excitement of a new expansion, there’s sure to be Vanilla purists who want to enjoy their game without Demon Hunters checking your level of preparedness.
According to John and Brian, it’s not like either player will be forced to compromise too much. They’ve provided an out for those who’d rather stick to Warcraft as-is.

“So the way it’s gonna work is that your realm will moved onto Burning Crusade and you will be asked when you login. Do you want to go into Burning Crusade or Classic realm, and if you choose to go into Classic realm, that’s where your character will be activated, otherwise it will be activated in Burning Crusade”, John says. “If you really want to play in both realm, we’ll make a copy of your character so you’ll effectively have two characters, one in Classic and one in Burning Crusade. Anything you do in Burning Crusade won’t affect Classic’s character”.
“As far as what happen next in the Classic realm, there’s gonna be big communities, we want to make sure we support them and make sure the communities are healthy that they are going to stay in classic”, he says.
The snapshot feature is a neat way to connect to your friends who might not want to jump to Burning Crusade. By creating a copy of your character, you can still adventure through vanilla WoW and still enjoy Burning Crusade Classic on your own time. John and Brian stressthough that the end result is that you will very much still have two characters.
“To be clear, you need to make a choice. If you want to make a copy, you’ll have an option to do that. If you want to stay in Classic, you stayed in Classic. In terms of what happens after Burning Crusade, we haven’t made any commitments yet. We want to see how things go with Burning Crusade and how the community respond to the first expansion”, John says.
“I do want to add that if the player choose to go into Burning Crusade and activate the clone one week after or two weeks or a month later, that option will be available. But it will be the clone of the character, when we launched the Burning Crusade”, Brian continues.

According to Brian and John, this wasn’t just an idea born of whim and fancy. They told us how the decision to even do Burning Crusade at all was one they bounced off the community before attempting, making sure they weren’t going to work on an expansion no one wanted.
“We did run surveys and reach out to the community to see what will be their preference”, John says. “The majority of the players have responded that they would like to go to Burning Crusade, they would like to experience that. For many of past players to WoW, that was the first experience in WoW, so this is the nostalgia moment for them. But we want to make sure that both communities are healthy, the size of Classic’s community is pretty robust and we feel like it will be okay. That’s why we wanted to make sure that for people who want to stay in Classic, we are gonna do our best to group them together so that they have a healthy realm to play on”.
Although WoW Classic has always been about recreating the WoW of yore, that doesn’t mean it has to be entirely 1:1. Both John and Brian agreed that there is some room for quality of life, even if its as small as starting the game at a later version.
“The intention is we’ll start with 2.43, that felt like a better point with all the, you know where the talents were, any bugs and issues have been addressed at that point”, says John.
Brian also elaborated more on the other quality of life fix, which is earlier access to two of Burning Crusade’s new races, the Blood Elves and the Draenei.
“One of the things that we are talking about adding is quality of life features like, the ability to start leveling Blood Elves and Draenei at Level 1 with the pre-expansion patch so hopefully you’ll have enough time to catch up to level 58 to go to the dark portal with friends”, he says. “We think that WoW is better when you play with friends an other people so we want to give people an opportunity to make that change”.
While it might seem blasphemous to some for making changes to Burning Crusade ahead of its re-release, Brian assured us that the World of Warcraft team was treating the expansion with all the respect it deserves.
Rather than simply add whatever they thought was cool, he says the team are really making sure to honor the spirit of one of World of Warcraft’s most iconic expansions.
“There’s always a temptation [to change things[, but one of the thing that we are really charged with in taking care of this product and delivering an authentic experience is to try to resist the temptation as much as possible. Make sure that we really are delivering the authentic experience that existed back then”, he says.
“Obviously we are making changes like the ability to level Blood Elves and Draenei early, and the ability to use the boost because we think it’s important to drive those social connections, and make sure that you have opportunity to play with other players and that we maximize that. That’s really the core principle of WoW, so we will make minor adjustment to try to make sure that the players have optimal opportunity to play with one another. But otherwise, we really want to hold ourselves back tinkering with the core game mechanics or spells and abilities unless they are truly broken or cause some kind of serious problem”.

Same Old PvP
Of course, as much as they change things, they’ll also keep things as they were. Brian talked about the PvP changes coming to Burning Crusade Classic, similar to how they did back in the day with Burning Crusade’s launch.
“One thing that’s really interesting for PvP in Burning Crusade is the Arena Team system. So that was introduced originally with Burning Crusade and we are excited to bring it back. In modern realm we of course still have arena but not the ability to make a customized team that you can build camaraderie with”, Brian said.
“Both the team system and also the various brackets like 2v2, 3v3 and 5v5 brackets of course when we originally introduce arena teams your team can only be as large as the bracket so 3 players in 3v3 team so if any of them is absent or sick, you couldn’t play. So we will be using a slightly later version of the arena team system that eventually came into Burning Crusade in the later patches, where you can have up to double the bracket size in your team members so 6 players for 3v3. So that if you have alternates and if someone was absent you can play with other people instead. And then the team gets points for spending on gear, based on whether or not they participate in 30% matches of the week. So these were some of the changes coming to PvP with Burning Crusade”, he adds.

Welcome To The Burning Crusade
Of course, not everyone playing Burning Crusade Classic when it comes out is going to be someone who played it at launch. Brian and John had some inviting words for those who might not be Prepared for the expansion, with choice hints of where to head first.
“I think the big highlight for me is Karazhan Quests Change, to unlock Karazhan for the first time. It’s this great epic quests change that will send you all over the world starting from Khadgar and going through this long journey through all this different vistas and experiences, culminating in this trip back in time to meet the deed as he’s opening the dark portal, and see if he can put the final touches on things to get you back into Karazhan. That’s just such a great story and the dungeon itself is a real treat and the reward at the end as well”, Brian says.
” I think all the things that are happening in Burning Crusade are so amazing from the moment that you stepped through the dark portal. And you see this incredible battle raging in front of you and you squeak pass all the demons and you make it to your stronghold only to find the enemy faction is there to make a quick end of you. I can remember getting together with my members feeling pretty bold and taking on the other faction, only to hear the eerie sound and look up and see a Fel Reaver as it stomped us and took us out”, John continued.
With Burning Crusade Classic, newer WoW fans get a great opportunity to relive an iconic turning point in Warcraft history, largely the same as the day it first launched. It’s great to see so many people clearly passionate about World of Warcraft working on the project, and we can only hope that passion shows through when Burning Crusade Classic drops later this year.
Thanks to Brian and John for taking the time to answer our questions, as well as Blizzard for the opportunity to interview them about Burning Crusade Classic.

Hololive ERROR Is Available Now To Download

Cover Corporation has finally released Hololive ERROR for download , the free horror game based on characters from Hololive.

The game’s available to download for free from the Hololive ERROR website, although as of right now it’s only available in Japanese.

The game was announced several months back, and Hololive has been having frequent livestreams as well as 360 videos to promote the bizarre new title based on Hololive’s various Vtubers.
That being said, the version that’s available for download isn’t the full version, rather more of an introduction to the overall horror project.

It’s not a particularly complex game- it’s a pseudo walking simulator, wherein your character navigates a seemingly endless hallway as the game continues to build up tension with things like apparations and the most terrifying jumpscare, Vtuber Tokino Sora.

For fans hoping to just muscle through without a working knowledge of Japanese though, a lot of the tension comes from picking up various notes in the hallway, so you’ll want to at least have some sort of live translation app like Google Lens to get the full experience.
There’s been no word on an English release of the title, though presumably it may not be too hard for the EN community to simply patch it in, either.
Funnily enough this isn’t the first game to release featuring Hololive characters, or even the first horror game- just a few months back saw the release of Evil God Korone, another walking simulator featuring the Vtuber Inugami Korone.

MARVEL Super War review: An easy to pick up MOBA with recognizable characters from Marvel!

It’s been a while since MARVEL Super War launched, so it’s a good time to review it so far. I’m not a massive MARVEL fan by any means, but seeing the huge IP as a MOBA game must be quite exciting to many of you readers! After all, you can now imagine the storylines of an eclectic bunch of MARVEL characters just face off against each other, with the hopes of seeing more characters square off on the Wakanda battlefield.

First thing’s first, let’s admire the quality of the graphics at hand. For a mobile title, Netease and MARVEL haven’t spared much expense to make it look sleek. You start the game as though beamed down to the home screen. You can see Wakanda in the background behind your hero. The menus and transitions are all suitably futuristic to match the setting.

Character models are quite well done, across the base heroes and their various skins. It’s easy to tell at a glance who’s who, and what they’re wearing, for the fans of the characters. Other cosmetics you can get include Avatars, and Avatar Frames. You can get fun costumes like “Arcade Rocket”, or simpler colour swaps.
Some of the heroes you can get.
The shop is where you can purchase heroes and skins. There are three currencies: Coins, Crystals, and Star Credits. Star Credits can be converted into Crystals. Heroes can be bought with any of the currencies where applicable. Skins are only purchasable using Star Credits, and are just cosmetic. Shops can have discounts on both heroes and skins, so keep your eyes peeled to take advantage of those deals!

You will need to buy the hero first before you can purchase the skin.
On their own, they’re a bit pricey to get with real money, and you’d need a lot of Coins as well. If you’re not sure what a hero does, you can simply tap on them in the shop screen and then their skill icons. They’re quite faithful to their characters. Simply look at Hulk, who has his signature Hulk Smash for one, pounding his enemies into the ground! The heroes likewise come with their unique traits (Hero Trait), like Hawkeye having his range and vision increase as he levels up, an easy reference to his skill as a marksman. There’s plenty of classes you can try as you might’ve noticed, so play around and see what best fits your style.
Mantis’ ultimate is true to what she has shown in the movies.
If you’ve played one mobile MOBA, it’s pretty easy to jump into the others, and it’s not much different for MARVEL Super War. There are the “jungle” monsters you can defeat, and some can provide buffs apart from the experience you get. Some also drop items too. If you ever need a refresher, then simply go to the Training area. They give first completion rewards, so it’s not a bad idea to brush up on the basics! If you want to play with friends, you can queue as a team, or hop into a room with others. PvE is a 5 player on AI mode.
Fighting in the MOBA mode.
The MOBA part isn’t the only thing you can find in MARVEL Super War. At present, there are two arcade modes: Battle for Vibranium and Free-For-All. In Battle for Vibranium, players will need to collect Vibranium from nodes around the map, and deposit them. The first team to reach 1000 wins! 5 on 5 players can take out an enemy hero to collect the Vibranium they drop (if any), and deposit it for their own team. The node to deposit the Vibranium in shifts around the map, and you’re quite slow, so you can be quite vulnerable!
Free-for-All.
In Free-for-All, it’s another 5 on 5, but instead of your regular map, it’s only a single lane with 2 towers each and the nexus. Players can only heal through random drops from enemy mobs, and healing from allies is reduced. It’s a more tense mode as everyone clusters together and tries not to get knocked out too often. These games often emphasize teamwork, and should you slip behind, you’d need that more than ever. Regular 5 on 5 matches aren’t really a big problem, but if you fancy some Arcade games, the queue times tend to be longer.
You can spectate other players whenever you want via the Spectate button on your home screen. See higher skilled players fight it out and learn from them! You can tap on their respective hero icons to see their items and follow their perspective.
Battle for Vibranium.
The items within the game are naturally all references to other MARVEL characters. In terms of playable characters, it’ll be a while till the game can actually release the entire repertoire of the MARVEL universe. For now, you have arguably the most recognizable of the bunch across the movies of the MCU. In their attempts to keep the character skills true to themselves, perhaps some characters may not be fully balanced, as there will certainly always be higher tier heroes than others. Nonetheless, one would hope to see this less of a problem as the game matures.
The shop items. At a glance, you can see recognizable items used or worn by MCU characters!
All in all, definitely play this as a MARVEL fan and just imagine the storylines! Considering there is an arcade mode, perhaps someday we could get character specific maps too. The game is young, so let’s look forward to future updates. We hope this review of MARVEL Super War gets you to try the game!

First-person horror adventure Scorn for Xbox Series X

Scorn will be a first-person horror adventure from Ebb Software, coming to Xbox Series X, as revealed on the Inside Xbox presentation. Here’s the trailer:

You can read Danika Harrod’s post on Xbox Wire about the game:

It’s been a long time since Ebb Software was founded, and an even longer time since the idea for Scorn first popped into Lead Designer Ljubomir Peklar’s mind. In 2013, Serbian studio Ebb Software was founded with the sole purpose of creating a different breed of video games, and Scorn aims to deliver. The team behind the game is excited to share more with you today!
Scorn’s development began in 2014, when the team was still small, and the next two years were spent figuring out which available tools would allow them to make the game they wanted to make and the demo they wanted to present to publishers. With the help of thousands of backers and additional funding from Kowloon Nights, Ebb Software was able to make the game Ljubomir had in his mind for over a decade become a reality, and it’s coming to Xbox Series X and Windows Store!

Scorn is a first-person horror adventure game designed around the idea of being thrown into the world. As players explore the dream-like world in a non-linear fashion, they will soon learn that every location has its own story, puzzles, and characters – even the unsettling environment is a character itself. The team has drawn visual inspiration from Swiss painter H.R. Giger and Polish painter Zdzislaw Beksinski. Conceptual inspiration has come from works by unique writers like Franz Kafka and Jorge Luis Borges, horror and sci-fi writers like Thomas Ligotti and J.G. Ballard, and the weird cinema of David Cronenberg and David Lynch.
The positive reaction to Scorn’s initial teaser-trailer in 2016 has been one of the most memorable moments for the team. They can’t wait to share more information with you, and most of all they can’t wait to release the game. Be sure to check out our newest trailer, and stay tuned!

Dungeon & Fighter Mobile – a 2D mobile port of popular PC MMORPG announced

Back in December 2017, Nexon decided to shut down Dungeon & Fighter: Spirit to focus a new project based on the Dungeon & Fighter IP, which is probably a mobile port of the PC version. Now Nexon has finally revealed the new game – Dungeon & Fighter Mobile!

Just like what we expect, Dungeon & Fighter Mobile is a 2D action game that recreates the experience of the popular PC MMORPG on mobile. It will feature the same worldview as the PC version, but with new storyline and events. The game is said to feature contents from the PC version up to level 60 too.

Interestingly, the same mobile game will also publish in China (by Tencent) in the first half of 2019, so we will probably get the Korea launch in the following months. Stay tuned for more info!

                                        Weight

                                        1.56 kg (3.44 lbs)

Design
I’m personally a big fan of minimalistic and sleek designs, and the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED is no exception. We got our hands on the Inkwell Black variant of the laptop and it gives off that glossy and professional look to it, and it just oozes classy. The ASUS Zenbook logo is tucked quietly at the bottom corner of the laptop cover that gives way to artistic lines which help with the prestigious look.

Much like the ASUS Vivobook 16X, the Zenbook 14X OLED is also designed in a way that users can push the display screen all the way back, allowing for the laptop to lay flat at 180 degrees for ease of on-screen sharing, perfect for situations which requires group discussions where you need to share what’s on the screen.
Flipping the laptop over, one feature that I can appreciate a lot is this extra built-in part that’s sticking out, which essentially elevates the laptop, making for a more ergonomic design that allows typing for long periods of time a more comfortable experience; at the same time helping the thermals by giving better airflow overall.

Looks aside, touching the laptop was a surprisingly pleasant experience as the Zenbook 14X OLED has a special coating which ASUS calls it “Plasma Ceramic Aluminium”, and as the name suggests gives off this smooth ceramic-like touch to it, and it definitely feels great. However, it unfortunately attracts fingerprints relatively easily but certainly not a deal-breaker by any means.
In terms of the laptop’s overall size, with the dimensions of 32.18 x 22.56 x 1.69 and weighing at only 1.56kg, it makes for a fairly compact and lightweight laptop, which makes it perfect for people who are constantly on the move, whether it’s be for work or for classes.
Display + Audio
When it comes to the display for the Zenbook 14X OLED, it’s ever so slightly larger at 14.5″, 2880 x 1800 OLED screen, which makes up a 16:10 aspect ratio and supports up to 120Hz refresh rates. As you might surmise, the screen manages to present visuals in a very vibrant and colourful manner when I was watching videos and playing games. The colours definitely feel like they pop out more thanks to its 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut range. Pair that up with the paper-thin bezel, the viewing experience was just overall enjoyable.
It also has a peak brightness of 600 nits, which is considerably bright, and makes it possible to work even in both the gloomiest of workplaces or the brightest outdoor cafes. With the inclusion of the 120Hz refresh rates, which is certainly rate for non-gaming laptops to have, is just a feast for eyes when I can just scroll by smoothly.
On the topic of audio, it’s nothing too mind-boggling but it’s able to produce loud and clear audio without sacrificing quality. Throughout my testing out the speakers, there weren’t any noticeable distortions even when blasting music on max volume.
Keyboard + Trackpad
My experiences with typing on the keyboard was an overall satisfying experience. The keycaps had enough of that springy feel to it, and it’s got quite a hefty travel distance to it, which makes for a pretty comfortable experience when typing away. The keys on this laptop also have backlighting, which can come in hand when you’re like me and love doing work in the dark.
With the trackpad, the tracking felt pretty good and it was nice to glide my fingers across the pad, and the palm rejection is good too, so there’s no worries of accidents that might occur when resting your hand on the trackpad.
There’s also a neat feature that the Zenbook 14X OLED has on its sleeves,or trackpad in this case. It has the NumberPad 2.0, where users can transform the trackpad into a Numpad, which can be enabled with just a click of a button.
I honestly think it’s a pretty cool feature to have where users can use the Numpad without needing to reduce the overall space of the normal keyboard to make way for the physical Numpad. As someone who doesn’t use the NumPad on my laptop often, it’s nice to have the option to disable it, and it’ll work like your average trackpad.
Connectivity
The Zenbook 14X OLED has a handful of ports to its name, there’s one USB 3 Type-A, two Thunderbolt 4, one HDMI 2.1 TMDS, and lastly one combo audio jack.
The handful of ports are nice to have, but the one thing I can’t wrap my head around is the placement of said ports. The only port that’s located on the left side of the laptop is the USB 3 Type-A port, which makes sense given that you’d normally plug your mouse there, and have the wire be placed behind the laptop.
What’s odd to me is how all of the other ports are all clumped up on the right side of the laptop. It just feels very awkward if I were to charge the laptop while also plugging in my earphones. It would’ve been a lot better if they were to move the Thunderbolt ports to the left side instead, making it less cluttered.
Battery Life
The Zenbook 14X OLED has a 70WHrs battery life, and it could get me around 6 odd hours with 50 percent screen brightness and balanced power performance, which is pretty decent if you ask me since it’s essentially a full work day. You could also definitely save up a lot more power if you were to set it in battery efficiency mode too.
Benchmark
3D Mark – 2012
PC Mark 10 – 5747

Cinebench Single Core – 1686

Cinebench Multi Core – 10693

Game Test
And while the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED is certainly not a gaming laptop, I tried out some games to see how it would fare. The first game I tested out was Apex Legends, and on the highest graphic settings, I had an average FPS of around 65 FPS.
While running the game on lowest graphic settings, I could get an average 87 FPS. And honestly caught me by surprise considering that game is able to run relatively decent.
Apex Legends (Highest Graphic Settings)

Apex Legends (Lowest Graphic Settings)
Second game I tried out was Hades. With the default settings (you can’t change any of the graphic settings aside from the screen resolution), the game ran very smoothly at an average FPS of around 85 FPS, even during combat.
Hades

Lastly, I tried out Atelier Ryza 3, and at highest graphic settings the game ran at around 30 FPS, which is pretty rough but still playable. On the other spectrum with setting it to lowest graphic settings, it can run at around 50 FPS.
Atelier Ryza 3 (Highest Graphic Settings)
Atelier Ryza 3 (Lowest Graphic Settings)

Verdict
All things considered, the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED is a pretty solid choice for people who are looking for a bit more power for their work, such as content creators or video editors, which would appreciate the OLED screen with 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut range, and high peak brightness.
However, being priced at MYR 5,999 is certainly more on the premium side when it comes to pricing. But, the price also comes a super portable and performance-oriented laptop with some striking visuals, packaged in an overall classy design.

Hogwarts Legacy May Also Be Coming To Nintendo Switch

Hogwarts Legacy, which was previously confirmed to be released on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC is now implied to be also coming to the Nintendo Switch.

This comes due to the official Hogwarts Legacy website FAQs stating that the game will be coming to the Switch, as well as showing the Switch logo alongside the Playstation and Xbox logos at the bottom of the page.

This seems to more or less confirm that a Nintendo Switch version of the game will be released. There’s a small chance that the placement of its logo could be a mistake however with such as high profile title, I doubt its’ official media would slip up like that.

The reason a Switch version has not been confirmed up until now could be that there’s a chance it will be released after the other versions and may be ported by a separate development team. This is often the case for Switch ports of modern games such as with Doom Eternal port to the Switch.
Hogwarts Legacy was featured today on a Playstation State of Play, where features of the game were shown in greater detail such as its open-world Hogwarts School and general premise.
The game looks beautiful on the next-generation consoles which makes me skeptical about how well it will run on the Switch. But hey, if they can get Doom Eternal and The Witcher up and running on the Switch and manage to make them perfectly playable, there’s a chance that Hogwarts Legacy could also shine on the portable machine.

Jojo World, a Park Themed On Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, Announced

Yokohama is the hot place to be with the announcement of Jojo World, an amusement centre dedicated to the long-running Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure.

The amusement centre opens March 5th 2021, and will feature attractions based on the first 5 parts of the iconic manga series. The park will run until May 9th, 2021.
The first attraction is based on Part 1: Phantom Blood. Memeta! Ripple Roulette will have you getting prizes based on your “Ripple energy”. They haven’t explained how the work in practice, but it will probably be something breath-related.

The second one is based on Part 2: Battle Tendency. Named Ancient Roman Deathmatch Chariot Lottery Wheel, this is a lot more straightforward, and is a wheel you can spin to win prizes. The wheel is supposedly done up to evoke the imagery of Joseph Joestar’s Chariot Match against Wamuu.
Part 3: Stardust Crusaders’ attraction is called Dio’s ‘You’re watching me, aren’t you? ‘ , and will have guests trying to take photos of Dio similar to the start of Part 3, using Joseph Joestar’s Hermit Purple.
That’s not all the love for Part 3 though, as there is also a second game based on Sugoroku. The Joestar Group World Tour will have guests experience the journey from Japan to Egypt, as per the plot of Stardust Crusaders.
For Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable, the amusement centre will be having an interactive minigame. Let’s Go To The Manga Artist’s House will have guests “be interviewed by Kishibe Rohan”, though the mechanics of this are unknown.
Finally, the last attraction is centred around Part 5: Vento Aureo. This takes the form of an ARG, called the Passione Team Assignment Suitability Diagnostic Test. Here, guests will have to complete “missions” given to them by a team leader.
Not much else is known about Jojo World for now, though the official website says it will get a mention in the next chapter of the current ongoing manga, Jojolion.

New Noblemen: 1896 trailer charges in

Developer Foursaken Media has just posted new details on its upcoming third person shooter cum strategy game Noblemen: 1896, and it is shaping up to be something rather interesting. We have bestowed a new trailer with more details on gameplay.

In Noblemen: 1896, you plan your attacks from a top-down perspective, where you will subsequently be fighting those battles from a third person perspective. The game does not force you to play either modes fortunately, so if you set either the planning or attacking phase to auto-resolve. Of course, nothing is more effective than you doing everything yourself.

Monster Hunter Iceborne Book Makes Live Action Movie Canon

It looks like players hoping for the Monster Hunter movie to be forgotten might not get what they were hoping for, as the guide for Iceborne makes nods to it, technically making it canon.

In the iceborne book there is a passage under Fatalis of a note by a fictitious character wondering if the fate of Shrade was due to an invader from another dimension/time, remarking to it being hard to believe but there is a tale of a link to another world in a desert somewhere pic.twitter.com/xlcYEKKO9y

— Gaijinhunter (@aevanko) May 29, 2022

According to Monster Hunter content creator GaijinHunter, the guide book for Iceborne contains a reference to the Paul WS Andersen movie, specifically when discussing the game’s final boss, Fatalis:

The Black Dragon of Lore that is said to have eliminated an entire kingdom. Where did it come from and why did it come? I find it hard to believe that it resides at Castle Shrade. I wonder if its some contraption that allows it to cross time and space. I find it very hard to believe but there was a rumor about a person that appeared from another world in some desert.
GaijinHunter himself was unhappy about the news, hoping for the movie to be buried in the annals of history.
“If they introduce other dimensions and crap to the lore of monster hunter, especially in connection to that crap movie, I’d never forgive capcom. Why did they even add this ‘speculation’ part. Yuck“.
Of course, this isn’t the first time the game would acknowledge the presence of the live action movie, which has drawn many criticisms from fans.
During its launch, Monster Hunter World featured an event quest that established the movies as taking place some time after the events of Monster Hunter World, as the quest ends with movie character Artemis giving a book to the Admiral, setting up why he would be able to understand her in the movie.
Still, if you operated under the assumption that all event quests were non canon, this addition in the Monster Hunter Iceborne guide would certainly cement the movie’s placement in the Monster Hunter timeline.
On another note, this isn’t even the first time Monster Hunter World has played with alternate dimensions- they’re a huge part of the Witcher crossover quest, as well as the FFXIV Online crossover, which both deal with the concept of otherworldly creatures getting pulled into Monster Hunter.
Given the near-universal derision for the film it makes sense that fans might want it to just remain a buried story.

God Eater Online Closed Beta Test Ends Today

God Eater Online is a game developed by Bandai Namco. Recently the game has released a CBT on the 17th November last week which is ending today at 13.00 JPT. The game is a mobile MMORPG which was said to be able to sustain 100 players in a single map.

God Eater has been successful in their franchise since February 2010 when it was first released for the PSP. The game was so popular that there were anime and manga adaptations of the game. Similar to Monster Hunter, God Eater is depicted in a post-apocalyptic world where monsters thrive and by using the God Arc as a weapon to take them out. One of the unique features of the weapons they held is that the weapons can transform into 3 types of battle modes; Blade Form for close combat, Gun Form for ranged combat and Shield form as a shield for protection.

In the game, players control their character from a 3rd Person View; dashing and slashing monsters you meet in the city map. The combat plays are simple however the camera angles can be frustrating as you will need to turn the camera angles most of the time. To gain Experience Points in the game, players will need to kill the monsters and use their weapons to “eat” them.
There is no news on when is the official release date. Hopefully the game will come to us soon with new updates and improvements.

Of course, you’ll also have to protect your structures, as the trailer shows all manner of hostile creature come to destroy your settlements.
While some of the building designs look absolutely fantastical, it looks like you’ll be using primarily old-fashioned guns, with everything from level-operated Shotguns and extremely ornate revolvers to dispatch the Fae Beasts.

God Of Rock Shows Anything Can Be A Fighting Game If You Put Your Mind To It

God of Rock is a unique game- it combines the rhythm game genre with fighting game elements, creating a game with a skill floor that’s like those dine-in-the-sky situations.

It’s a great testament to the spirit of competitive gaming- if there’s an end state with one person standing and the other not, you can bet there’ll be people who will want to learn to play it.

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

That being said, there’s something to be said of skill floors- if your game takes too long to get, you run a fear of scaring off potential players, no matter how eager they are to throw money matches. How does God of Rock fair in this respect? Read on and find out:
Beat To The Beat But The Beat Goes On Da Da Dun Da Dun

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

Conceptually, God of Rock feels like the unholy union of competitive Tetris and Guitar Hero- a praise not to be taken lightly. You compete in what’s essentially endurance matches- hit as many notes as you can to avoid taking damage and pray your opponent slips up before you do, all while the beatmaps get progressively harder the longer you go on.
Well, you could wait it out I guess. But just like Cain wasn’t just gonna wait for Abel to die of natural causes, so too can you take more… direct action in your opponents downfall. Each of the game’s cast of music-themed characters have a variety of special moves, able to turn the tide in your favor.
At their most basic, they fill the note chart with even more notes, meaning more chances for your opponent to miss and screw up. But by Level 3 you start getting insidious with it- characters can start messing with the timing, healing themselves and more. It adds a really complex layer of strategy, since you can’t be throwing out special moves at will either- you still need to keep up with your own note-barrage.

I spent a lot of time with the snazzily dressed Tophat- his entire kit is built around cooldown times, letting him either shorten his own cooldowns or lengthen his opponent’s. It inspires you to pay way more attention to your opponent’s kit- which unfortunately means one more thing to pay attention to in a dizzying flurry of things that require your immediate attention.
Still, its the first step towards playing the way the game is intended- just like a Tetris player not realizing Tetris is about so much more than making sure to clear each line, God of Rock constantly has that feeling that you should be playing it on a higher level.
Skill Floor

Unfortunately, that does bring us to God of Rock’s biggest flaw- it’s a little too unique. It boasts a skill floor higher than many skill ceilings, requiring you to be able to multitask all the things it throws at you while also getting a read on your opponent. It’s a game that’s almost impossible to play against AI, considering you need that human element of screwing up at the worst possible times.
Worse still is that there’s little in the way of transferable skills. It’s very much a rhythm game first, so I found myself frustrated because my inability to keep up with the basic rhythm game aspect means I didn’t get to enjoy the tactical part of using my skills. Meanwhile the fighting game part of my brain was just chomping at the bit for some kind of control, since having to react to so many things feels more akin to playing defensively than going on the offense.
That’s not to say you have to play it like a killer- but God of Rock feels designed to be enjoyed at the highest level, like 3rd Strike or Tekken 7. Its main problem is getting players there- there’s a lot of information to take in, and it all starts once you learn to stop being overwhelmed by the hail of notes coming your way.
Closing Thoughts
Arcade mode is good for just getting the hang of the controls, but it doesn’t match the inner instinct of wanting there to be a loser.
At the end of the day though, it’s hard to say I didn’t have fun with God of Rock. It feels like the kind of game you’d run side tournaments for at local events- something everyone just gets into at the same level, as a break from getting bodied in pools.
Its biggest hurdle is definitely selling itself to audiences- there’s some legitimate fun to be had playing it competitively, but that means convincing people around you to put down King of Fighters or Tekken long enough to play a game featuring Totally-Not-David-Bowie doing combos on Totally-Not-Elvis, then getting good enough at those games to reach the fun part.
That being said, just like Tetris, there’s fun to be had just playing people on the same level as you. The game has both online and local play, so you might find your new favorite past time to assert dominance after a couple of drinks. I’ve also neglected to mention that the soundtrack is the stuff of gods, and the fact they go on as long as one of you is still alive is a pretty neat feat of engineering.
I also have to praise the genuine creativity of the idea- like I said at the start of this, the fact you can make anything competitive as long as you add a lose state is pretty great, and I hope to see God of Rock inducted into another of those FGC darlings.
God of Rock Verdict

                                        Pros

                                        Cons

                                        Unique gameplay

                                        ...So unique, in fact, it's hard to learn

                                        Banger of a soundtrack

                                        Animations could use a bit of polish

World Flipper announces Granblue Fantasy collab

World Flipper has announced a collaboration with Granblue Fantasy, providing no additional information. A teaser clip was posted on their official Twitter, found here. The funny thing is that several Granblue characters are already part of the World Flipper universe – Clarisse and Cagliostro are but two of them – and plenty of immigrants from Cygames’ Rage of Bahamut, so this collab is a curious one. The teaser previews the silhouettes of two characters, which you can see below.

It’s very likely details for this collaboration will be unveiled at the game’s 1.5 anniversary stream, scheduled for 26 May 2021 at 21:00 JST. Prior to the stream, players who create accounts by 31 May will be able to obtain 1500 rainbow orbs as well.
In the mean time, there’s no update yet regarding the international release, to be published through Kakao Games for North America, Southeast Asia and South Korea since its initial announcement in October 2020. It’s slated for a 2021 release, at least, which we’d have to keep an eye out for.
