Nexon announces Total Clash

South Korea-based game publisher Nexon has just announced Total Clash, a strategy title for mobile devices. If the name sounds somewhat familiar, you will be right, as the game is in fact very similar to titles such as Clash of Kings and Game of War.

The premise of Total Clash is fairly straightforward, with war having broken out between opposing factions of an unknown conflict. This real-time strategy game will see you build bases and train units in order to wage war. Taking over territory is the name of the game, and if you wish, you are able to form alliances.

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands Gets New Launch Trailer

The upcoming World of Warcraft: Shadowlands has gotten a new trailer, ahead of the expansion’s launch next week. This trailer focuses on the Covenants of the Shadowlands.

The trailer evokes a lot of the feelings of the classic World of Warcraft trailer when that first launched, featuring high quality CG cutscenes of important characters in the Shadowlands narrative.

Unlike the previous CG trailer, this one is more of a primer on the four Covenants of the Shadowlands, and doesn’t advance the story.
The trailer shows all the Covenants of the Shadowlands, in the following order:

Kyrian of Bastion,
Night Fae of Ardenweald,

Concept art for Maldraxxus
While the Night Fae and Venthyr shots also featured appearances by their Perpetuals, the Necrolords and Kyrian did not, especially as the Primus of Maldraxxus is absent at the start of the story for Shadowlands.
The Covenants are an exceptionally large part of the Shadowlands Expansion, with a lot of the game’s marketing going into highlighting the culture and background of the caretakers of Azeroth’s afterlife.
In the game, players will be able to side with the Covenants, allowing you to obtain gear and abilities based on them.
World of Warcraft: Shadowlands will release November 24th, though the game’s pre-release event is already live, along with its reworked level cap.

Forspoken Review – That Time I Got Transported Into Another World With a Talking Vambrace

What happens if one day you’ve been transported into a fantasy world filled with savage beasts and mystical magic? In our review of Forspoken, it tells the tale of one lonely New Yorker whose life turned upside down, destined to be the saviour of a foreign land.

Forspoken is Luminous Productions’ latest action role-playing game set in Athia, a fabled land of both beauty and twisted brutality. Step into the shoes or cuffs of Frey Holland, the aforementioned New Yorker who one days discovers Cuff, a talking vambrace that magically teleports her to the world of Athia. Yup, that just happened.

In Another World
The world and lore of Athia itself is fascinating, but it doesn’t spoon feed you the whole story. To uncover the lore of Athian history, you’ll need to rummage through text-based collectibles like in The Last of Us. Personally, I like how the game doesn’t forcefully lore-dumps everything onto the players, making exploration fun.
As a fan of isekai genre in anime, Forspoken should be my cup of tea since it’s essentially just that. But my main gripe with the Worldbuilding in the game is how its presented to the players. The storytelling is shown through awkward cutscenes and dialogue delivery, which are accompanied by frequent fade to blacks. Even after getting into the main plot, everything still feels so awkward.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

A majority of the voice actors (aside from Frey, Cuff and some supporting cast members) deliver lines in a flat and emotionless way. Which is made more apparent by the editing, where the game has weird loading scenes just for character conversations.
I often find my immersion of the game being ruined by having to wait for a clunky NPC conversations. And while some performances are significantly better than others, it’s still not enough to fix this problem.
Although, if you can look past the game’s awkward deliveries and storytelling, the game shines the most in its combat.
I Can Use Freakin’ Magic
Frey has access to an arsenal of magic skills for both combat and navigation. While the system is extremely complex, the various layers are introduced gradually to prevent players from being too overwhelmed.
Each magic skill is set into two types, Support and Attack. The main gist is to attack while weaving in support magic to either control large groups or debuff stronger targets. Every spell has different cooldowns and a particular casting method; be it via tapping, holding or charging. Holding a trigger allows Frey to charge up the power of another spell, target an area of effect before releasing it, or cast a series of chosen spells continuously.
While there can only be one of each type active spell at once, I was able to pause the action at any given time by holding down the “L1” or “R1” buttons to switch to a different active spell. The combat experience is also enhanced with the haptic feedback of the PS5 DualSense, which gives each spell a distinct feel to them.
The amount of spells is gated in the early game where you’re only limited to Frey’s default Purple Magic. Although, you’ll be given access to a new arsenal of spells once unlocking the Red, Blue and Green Magic trees.
The game also allows you complete freedom to switch between all of the spell sets and variety of support spells, and lets you adjust your approach depending on the enemies. Which I find to be extremely satisfying since the gameplay loop won’t feel stale.
Each combat spell functions differently and can be useful in various situations. Purple magic works well when dealing with enemies from a distance, and Red magic is perfect for cut ranged combat, so on and so forth. Since each spell is designed to deal with a specific enemy number or type, switching between spells will be your bread and butter.
Most enemies have their weakness against one of Frey’s spell sets, and using Cuff’s scan feature you’re able to determine which attacks are most successful. Players are able to unlock more support spells and enhance attack magic as they gain Mana, which acts as upgrade points.
Additionally, players can also boost the power of Frey’s attacks by successfully completing challenges that are associated with each spell, which can act as a nice breather from the main storyline.
Combat in Forspoken is quick, entertaining and all about using the right spells at the right time. And while it can occasionally get chaotic, I find that the combat is at its best when I’m surrounded and need to fight off hordes of enemies.
Into Athia
Frey can sprint across fields and scale cliffs with ease thanks to her magic-enhanced parkour, named in-game as Flow. The best part about traversing the lands and performing all these acrobatic feats, is that you can do with a single intuitive button press. And as the plot progresses, more traversal-focused options become available, opening up increasingly harder locations and rewards.
Athia’s open world is divided into various regions, filled with tons of side quests and landmarks. These include forts with enemies, safe houses for crafting, mini-dungeons with a special boss at the end, monuments and photo spots that will test Frey’s abilities.
Unfortunately, once you’ve seen those events once, you’ve pretty much seen it all. There’s a lack of variety and it feels like Forspoken is just filling the world with the same types of open-world events that also lacks depth. The only thing that encourages me to deal with these events are the chances to get more magic spells and rewards that strengthens Frey.
And while this might make the world of Forspoken sound uninteresting, traveling across the map feels enjoyable and the combat is interesting. It’s also convenient that the game tells you the list of rewards even before reaching a destination. Which saves me a lot of time since I can just decide which places are worth visiting and which isn’t.
A Repertoire of Customisation
Aside from Cuff and the spellbook, Frey also has access to other methods of strengthening her abilities. She has access to three different types of equipment that can be used to boost her power with a variety of bonuses.
The first two equipment comes in the form of necklaces and cloaks. Players can spend materials to unlock crafting skills in Frey’s skill tree. The skill tree is where we can add stat boosts, passive abilities, and much more. Some are more useful than others, like making Frey be immune to poison when her health drops to critical range. So it’s best to choose your passives wisely.
Frey can also use arcane nail art to increase the strength of her powers. Unlike necklaces and cloaks, nails have their own menu tab. Each time we paint a new pattern on her nails, resources are used, where different materials are needed. Nails require a little more thought than simply putting or removing a cloak, but once you got your strong nail designs, it’ll give you a huge difference during combat.
Credit where credit’s due, Forspoken’s equipment options really deserve praise. It offers a lot of options to outfit Frey precisely as we need her, which is really everything I would want from an action RPG.
Verdict
Forspoken is honestly a mixed bag for me. While I absolutely adore the combat system, the acting and sequences in the game dampens the mood for me. If you can stomach a generic fantasy isekai story, Forspoken would be enjoyable. Even if it’s not necessarily noteworthy, I still think the world-building and characters are endearing enough for me to finish the game.
I don’t mean to bring up the same thing over again, but the gameplay and open world is where the game shines. While the open world itself is fairly standard because of the lack of variation in its side quests, it’s how you interact and navigate yourself across the map makes it fun.

                                        Pros

                                        Cons

                                        Athia is worth exploring

                                        World activities is repetitive

                                        Traversal and exploration is fantastic

                                        Weird loading scenes and less than desirable acting

                                        Combat system is magic at its finest

Here at Supercell, we have extraordinarily high standards for our games. We want to be sure that each game we release will be played for years and remembered forever. Unfortunately, we felt that even if we continued working on Rush Wars, we wouldn’t hit this goal.
Players will still be able to play until 30 November 2019. No time was given for the exact moment of closure. Rush Wars is available on both Android and iOS. Supercell is known for its other games like Brawl Stars, Clash Royale, Clash of Clans and others.

Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster gets July release window

The previously announced Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster has gotten a July release, as revealed in a now privated presentation video. The series will be available for PC through Steam, iOS and Android. The Pixel Remaster series is planned to release in order from July onwards, consisting of Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy II, Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy V, and Final Fantasy VI. The six titles have had their pixel art characters be fully remastered by pixel artist Kazuko Shibuya from Square Enix, who worked on the Final Fantasy series from the very beginning.

The collection was initially teased at Square Enix Presents Summer, part of E3 2021. Some of these games have already gotten 3D remake versions, so those who would prefer the original presentation can opt for these instead. Going off Gematsu, the presentation did not seem to mention if the people who have already gotten said 3D remakes would be able to get the pixel remasters at no additional cost.

Being Responsible With Monetization in Disney Mirrorverse: An Interview With Wizards of the Coast’s Tim Fields

Mobile gaming continues to be the dominant form of gaming in many regions of the world including Southeast Asia, in part thanks to their accessibility and the appeal of gacha or character collector games. To tell us more about the recent trends of the platform, we were able to interview Wizards of The Coast’s Senior Vice President & General Manager of Digital Gaming, Tim Fields. He previously worked as the CEO of Kabam Games, most well-known for developing Disney Mirrorverse, a gacha game starring the many iconic characters of Disney. He is the author of the recently published book, Game Development 2042, about the future of the games business.

Tim Fields
Before joining Wizards of The Coast, held roles at Capcom, Certain Affinity, Electronic Arts, and Microsoft. He would then go on to act as the CEO of Kabam, where he led in the development of games like Disney Mirroverse as well as Shop Titans and Marvel Contest of Champions, all of which are available for mobile devices.

In this interview, he told us more about Disney Mirrorverse, working with licensed characters, and the responsibility of developers when monetizing video games, especially ones that appeal to younger audiences.
In a lot of Japanese character collectors, characters are original designs made for the game. Kabam’s portfolio on the other hand tends to deal with more licensed characters. Do you feel that helps or hurts the ability to come up with content?

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

“When you’re building a game, you can create your own characters, create your own intellectual property, or you can use licensed characters. There are advantages and disadvantages to each.
Some of the advantages of using licensed characters. First, there are millions of people around the world who love these characters and get so excited to want to dress up as these characters at cons and cosplay. There are millions of people who will tune into a game just because it has a character they love. So it helps a ton with user acquisition and building an immediate community and fanbase.
Second, game makers, love these characters. I have never worked on a licensed game where people on the team were not truly in love with the characters that they built. With these stories, people get excited to work on Disney, to work on GI Joe, to work on Marvel, because they love these franchises, and because they grew up with the characters in these stories.
You know, our creative director for Marvel: Contest of Champions, which was a very successful game published by Kabam. Nine years ago, he said to me, “Tim, this game is going to be our love letter to the Marvel Universe we all grew up in.” That quote stuck with me because I think a lot of game makers feel that way about the games that they work on. They want to create a tribute to the characters in the worlds that they love. Of course, there’s a lot of freedom in generating your own content. It’s really fun, it’s really exciting, but it’s also scary and difficult because it’s a lot harder.”
Is it the licensor that goes around looking for someone to use their IP or do developers go “hey we want this character” and then reach out?

“Both. Sometimes the game team says I love these characters so much, can we please reach out to so and so and ask if they’ll let us build a game with their characters or integrate their character into our game. That’s one way that it works.
The other way that it works is I was talking to a young man here at Gamescom just a few moments ago representing a company that is looking to find people to develop games based on the IP that they own. So they’re looking for licenses. It works both ways.”
Another difference with Kabam’s portfolio is that it’s much more family-friendly as opposed to other gacha games that have more sexual designs. Do you think we can see bigger less dominance of sexy character-based marketing in mobile games?

“Different communities, different cultures, different demographics, and different people have really different ways that they like to think about characters. I think that one of the wonderful things that have happened over the last few years is that the community of gamers around the world has become a bigger group and more inclusive, and there’s no doubt that some gamers really like characters that are sexualized, but, there are tens of millions more who are turned off by that.
One of the great things that have happened over the last decade or two is that the audience for our games has gotten so much bigger. With that comes a real responsibility to make sure that our games are inclusive and welcoming to almost everyone.”
In like the past month we’ve seen more discussion about the regulations for monetization in mobile games. Do you think games will have issues with mobile game regulation?

“For a very long time, different governments and different governing bodies have regulated the type of content in games and also game mechanics. Slot machines, for example, are very heavily regulated and also have a huge audience, and are very popular. I think that we will see regulations of various sorts continue for a long time and continue to evolve as games become more sophisticated, whether this is rules around needing to display the odds for gacha or the types of content that you can display. Whether that’s sexualized content or violence, content that feels like gambling, or the types of data that you can collect from different audiences, or whether or not you can offer tokens in a web3 game without that being considered a security. There are lots of parts of a game that might be subject to regulation somewhere.
So, One of the things that I’ve written about in my newest book – It’s called Game Development 2042 – Is an interview with a great games industry attorney about where she expects to see regulation going in the games business, and it’s fascinating to hear her thoughts on the topic because as our industry gets bigger, as we move from a few billion players to 4, 5 billion gamers in the world.
The governments will continue to take more interest in regulating what we do, and it’s our job to be good citizens of the world and work closely with governments to make sure that our games are beneficial to our audience and also profitable for us as game makers.”
Since Disney Mirrorverse appeals more towards children, do you think that, at least internally, there should be a limit to how aggressively you can push monetization in the game?

“I can’t talk about Disney Mirrorverse in particular, but I think that the philosophy that we need to make sure we adhere to is that our games should only ever ask of people to spend money when they want to. People should always feel great about what they spend money on. Now that’s not always possible, but that should always be your guiding principle.
Obviously, games that target younger audiences need to be more thoughtful and more careful about how they make money and there are different laws in different parts of the world about how you can about, what you can sell to children and so that’s something you have to be very cognizant of, very careful with.
I think the single biggest piece of advice I would offer to people who are making games is to think carefully about who your audience is, understand very carefully what your responsibilities to that audience are, and make sure that you’re giving them a great experience that is sensitive to who they are and also profitable for you as a business.”
One disturbing trend in mobile games is over-reliance on grinding and busy work to boost player time spent on games, but usually at the cost of fun. How do you keep this in check?

“When you’re building entertainment, one of the things that you have to understand or think about is what type of experience you want people to have. There are some people that want a game that they can play nonstop for hours and hours. Ever Merge, for example, is a game that my wife loves and she describes it as like knitting, something to do with her hands while her mind is thinking about other things.
Now, is that game grindy? Well, I don’t know, but you can certainly pour 15 hours a day into it forever. Other games, particularly narrative-driven single-player games tend to be much more direct. They’re more like a movie or a television show where you watch it and there’s a very finite amount of entertainment. So I guess when I think as a game designer about how grindy a game should be, I guess the real question I’m asking is: “How long do I want you to be able to play this game?”
Another trend we’ve noticed is that bigger brands tend to have more collaborations with mobile games compared to console games. For example, new superhero movies may have skin in a popular mobile game compared to a console game. Can you tell us more about this?

“First, the number of people who play mobile games is just staggeringly higher. If the sales are similar to something like say, Elden Ring, great, that game might sell 20 million copies in its life. But a mobile game where things go great can reach 200 million players. So when you’re doing integration for a character or something similar, you’re likely to go for the product that has the larger audience size.
Second, there’s the price of creating a console game. Back in the year 2000, you could build a pretty good console game for five or $10 million. And nowadays it’s very challenging to build a console game, AAA console game, for less than $50 million. A truly great one can cost $150 million or more and take a long time.
So you don’t get that much lead time for working with new movies and things like that. Since you’re going to spend that much money, you have to make very sure it is going to sell a lot of copies. Those, are some of the reasons that you tend to see more integrations into mobile games these days, but also into other games like Fortnite, as opposed to wholly new licensed games.”
It feels like there are definitely some mobile games blurring the line between console and mobile releases, do you think playing catch-up with consoles is a way forward for the medium?

“I think that we are entering a world in which gamers want to be able to play the games that they love with their friends on whatever device is most convenient at that moment. So, when my nephew is riding home on the bus, he wants to be able to play a game on his phone.
As soon as he gets home, he wants to be able to set his phone down and boot up his PC, and he wants to be able to jump into Fortnite with his friends. When it’s time to go have dinner in the living room, he wants to turn on his big TV and grab his fancy controller and play that same game with those characters with the same friends on a big fancy TV, on a console. I think that Fortnite showed us the way, and I think that within a few years,  most games will offer users a way to engage on most platforms, mobile, PC, and console.”
Do you think that means there will be fewer hyper-casual games on mobile in the future?
Crossy Road (2014). An example of a more casual mobile game.
“There are some games that are best suited to a particular input and display device, right? Hyper casual games, by their nature, tend to be very short play durations most of them, and fairly approachable graphics with a very basic mechanic and often not a huge amount of depth.
In other words, they are perfect for bite-sized snacks on a phone. You could play them in a web browser for example, and people do. So I think there will always be some games that are best suited to particular input and display mechanisms. And that’s the best way to think about different platforms.
They’re all just computers with screens and some way that you give input. The question is just what’s the right input mechanic? What’s the right display model? Whether it’s a giant TV or two screens strapped to your eyeballs [VR] or a small device you can put in your pocket.”
What do you think about the fact that mobile games are becoming more resource intensive as time goes on?
“We are lucky that phones continue to advance so rapidly that we’ve got huge amounts of RAM, great processing, beautiful screens, and really good operating systems. We’re even luckier that the best phones in the world will also be so affordable that people anywhere in the world can have access to them. What that means is we can make great games that get better every year that are playable for billions of people all over the world. As a toy maker, what could be cooler than that?”

The success of the mobile gaming market, especially in regard to gacha games will likely continue to be a major factor in how the video game industry develops going forward. We actually previously covered a talk by Tim Fields at Gamescom Asia where he discussed his predictions on where video game development will be in twenty years, Something that’s worth keeping in mind for any aspiring devs out there.
We thank Tim Fields for speaking to us in this interview and wish him and his current team the best of luck going forward.

Should you pull [ Manifestation of the Dragon ] Milim Nava in Slime ISEKAI Memories?

								[Manifestation of the Dragon] Milim Nava is the 6th Milim added to Slime ISEKAI Memories, but should you pull for the dragon girl? Read on to find out!

[Manifestation of the Dragon] Milim Nava aka Dark Milim is a dark-element magical attacker with a single target nuke. Unlike the other many variants of Milims in the game, she uses her Battle Mode form, as seen in her battle against Demon Lord Carrion in the anime. She was added today, November 16, 2021, alongside the Predator Battle mode for the Nation of Monsters Diabolic Secretary event.
In terms of stats, [Manifestation of the Dragon] Milim Nava has pretty solid stats as a 5★ character, her attack being second only to her dragon uncle, [The Seal Releaser] Veldora Tempest. As for her skills, she has a Soul change (2x Secret to Divine Protection) and a critical resistance buff that also buffs her own crit chance by 15%.

Unfortunately, Dark Milim is probably the worst 5★ Milim and the worst 5★ dark character we have yet. All of the other dark characters have superior skills. As a result, unless you are a diehard Milim fan, it is not recommended to pull for her.

Torchlight Mobile Coming Soon!

The Torchlight series have been well received and ever since they announced the mobile version back in E3 LA 2015, the fans went wild. Torchlight Mobile has showed us promising gameplay with graphics that looks superbly sharp on a mobile platform.

Back in E3 LA 2015, the game was showcased and demoed that won Best Mobile RPG by mmorpg.com. In the footage below, the game was tested in TGS 2016 where we see the smooth gameplay on a tablet.

Torchlight Mobile is not a conversion of the PC version onto mobile. It is a whole new game that is programmed from scratch with a new story line. The game will be optimized for its gaming experience for all mobile users of Android and iOS.
While the PC version offers us large dungeons to explore, loot drops, variety of enemies, 4 different classes, flashy and vibrant animations and pets to assist you in your adventures, the mobile version has an interesting element added to it. A PVP system that allows players to battle with strangers or friends in an Arena. This adds a little competition amongst players that will keep the game interesting.

MOBA Mode
Guild System
[one_half] [/one_half]
[one_half_last][/one_half_last]
Another mode that they have added is a MOBA minigame. MOBAs as we know it would have a standard three to two lane map with minions spawning and jungle monsters as well as a map boss. The addition of the minigame allows players to maybe rest a little from exploring dungeons to battle against others with a specific objective. The game will also have a Guild system where players form a guild among the community to challenge other guilds for resources and fame.
One thing that was disappointing is that in the Chinese Closed Beta version of Torchlight Mobile, there were only three playable classes available. The classes were sort of recycled or commonly known like EmberBlade, Kitsune  and Engineer. Unlike its predecessors of the PC version where we were exposed to complete different classes from Torchlight and Torchlight 2. Perhaps the fourth class could be a complete different class than we have encountered thus far.
Dungeon Crawling
Hidden Rooms of Loot

[one_half_last][/one_half_last]
Among many other mobile games, there will be a monetary strategy that funds the game for updates and contents. However no information was released on any in-game purchases yet. And the most important good news is there will be no Stamina system that would cripple players from playing it leisurely.

Makai Wars to terminate service in October 2022

Nippon Ichi Software has just announced that it will be terminating services for Makai Wars, its SRPG for the Android and iOS platforms. The game first made its debut around four years ago on 14 February 2018.

2022年10月21日に『魔界ウォーズ』は終了することになったわ。
これまでたくさん一緒に冒険してくれて、本当にありがとう！#魔界ウォーズ

The announcement was made via its Twitter account, with no mention if any sort of refunds will be introduced, as it merely thanked the existing userbase for the good times, as short-lived as it may be. The opening movie one last time for good measure.

To recap, Makai Wars is an SRPG that not unlike Makai Senki and the company’s famed Disgaea series. It features Asagi as its protagonist, and astute Disgaea fans will remember her as a recurring character in their game. Asagi was supposedly the protagonist a cancelled Makai Wars release on the PlayStation 2, before finally making her way to mobile.

The rest as they say is history, as her adventure will soon come to a close. It is always sad to see games like this not live up to their full potential, especially since they were relegated from arguably a more appropriate platform. In any case, Nippon Ichi fans still have other things to look forwardto, so it isn’t the end of the world. Perhaps Asagi will make her way to something else down the line.

ROG Flow Z13 Review: A Tablet Laptop For An AAA Gaming Experience

The ROG Flow Z13 is the company’s latest hybrid laptop, an iPad-esque tablet which a detachable keyboard that can be used like a small laptop. In the past, these kinds of laptops were known for their great portability and accessibility when it came to aspects like work or drawing thanks to the touchscreen however they weren’t exactly known for gaming.

It’s clear however that ROG is hoping to change that with the latest gaming hybrid laptops, including the Flow Z13 which is able to bring in high-end standard PC gaming to a light and portable system that can easily fit in a small bag and be played on a train. For those that wish to game during a busy lifestyle, the Z13 may work wonders.

Design

With a design inspired by the 20th-century Space Race, the ROG Flow Z13 has numerous nods to retro-futurism. The chassis is covered with spacecraft-inspired machining, carved right into the high-density aluminum alloy itself. It even comes with a premium anti-fingerprint coating that repels and reduces the appearance of fingerprints, making cleaning the surface a breeze.
Follow us on Twitter

and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

In addition, the laptop retains that cool glass space window that allows gamers to not only see the parts of the tablet directly but also the RGB lighting effects.
The built-in kickstand can be opened up to 170 degrees which is a good range, allowing for optimal viewing angles to see the screen, no matter where you use the tablet. There’s also no sacrifice on portability, at only 1.1 kg and only 12mm thick, you can carry the Z13 around easily.
I/O Ports

Because the device is essentially a tablet, there are only a few important I/O ports. The left side of the tablet has a Thunderbolt 4 support DisplayPort/ power delivery, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, and a ROG XG Mobile Interface. The right side has a power button, volume buttons, USB 3.2 Type-A, and a 3.5mm Combo Audio Jack. The speakers are on the lower left and right sides of the tablet.
One standout feature is that the FLOW Z13 didn’t compromise the Audio experience. The device comes with 2 Smart Amp speakers on both sides of the screen (1 on each side), assuring the audio volume won’t become a minus when enjoying games/entertainment. Dolby Atmos and Hi-res audio technology provides a clearer and more immersive audio experience.
If you look closely, you will also find that there are some hidden ports under the kickstand. The bottom right corner is for you to extend your storage. On the left side, you’ll find a slot for a Mirco SD card, which allows you to store or transfer your work or videos pretty easily, much like a more traditional laptop.
Screen and Camera

The ROG Flow Z13 comes with a 13.4-inch 165Hz Nebula touchscreen screen that is PANTONE Colour Accuracy Certified. This allows users to see more vibrant and accurate colors. Moreover, the screen is capable of outputting 2560 x 1600 QHD+ resolution in a 16:10 ratio, which enables gamers to see every detail while playing games. The screen can be as bright as 500nits and is made with special anti-glare Gorilla Glass DXC, making it easy to use both indoors and outdoors.
The machine has dual cameras. Video chat with friends and family using the 3DNR+IR 5M front-facing camera (support up to 1080P 30FPS video quality) or take high-quality photos with the rear-facing 13-megapixel camera (shooting films up to 2160p 30fps quality).
For the microphone, the Hi SNR 3 array mic next to the webcam captures your sound easily, while AI-noise cancellation does well to keep your voice crisp and clear even in noisier environments.
Keyboard and Pen

The ASUS PEN 2.0 magnetic stylus that comes with this tablet is very convenient for drawing and designing, feeling comfortable to hold and natural to use.
There is a POGO Pin connector on the bottom of the tablet that allows you to link the ASUS Flow magnetic keyboard. The keys are fitted with RGB lighting that lets you adjust the color scheme and although it is an external keyboard, it feels like a mechanical keyboard, making it very comfortable to use.
Like with other tablet laptops, the keyboard is not just an ordinary keyboard, but also a protective case that will automatically put the device into sleep mode. The only downside to the keyboard is that the back of the tech uses a fabric-like material, meaning that it is more susceptible to getting dirty and will be harder to clean.
The keyboard of this tablet does not contain numeric keys, and the arrangement is not too different from the general laptop keyboard, so players should be able to quickly adapt to it. I personally think that the distance between the keys is just right and well comfortable to use although those with bigger hands may find it a little bit on the small side.
Battery

The ROG Flow Z13 comes with a 56Whrs battery and a 130W fast charging charger. When set in Silent and Power Saver modes, the tablet lasts about 6 hours when used for work which is pretty good for a tablet.
 When in performance mode and connected to a keyboard and mouse for gaming, the tablet can be used for 1 to 2 hours. Thanks to the fast charger though, it only takes 30 minutes to charge up to 50% of the battery which is very convenient for those that plan to use it out of the house.
Cooling System

The ROG design team applied Liquid Metal thermal paste to the processor, paired it with dual ARC Flow fans, and added a thermal equalization plate between the CPU and GPU to allow for balanced heat dissipation for each covered part. The result is that the system never gets too hot even when running more taxing programs.
In addition to the powerful cooling hardware, there is software that lets you customize your table setting, that is ROG Armoury Crate. This software can unify the system and lighting controls to put essential settings at your fingertips in a single utility.
You can also easily customize Scenario Profiles which will automatically make adjustments when you launch your favorite titles or apps, like Silent Mode, performance mode, turbo mode, or manual mode allowing you to alter the tablet to better suit your needs.
Benchmark

In order to allow gamers to experience the 3A game smoothly, the ROG Flow Z13 is directly upgraded to a stronger processor, as well as the 40 series graphics card. the ROG Flow X13 is equipped with the latest Intel Core i9-13900H action processor, RTX4050 6GB GDDR6 mobile graphics card, and LPDDR5 16GB of RAM.

3DMark – 8,146
PCMark 10  – 8,337
Cinebench – 1,996 for single-core and 18,144 for multi-core

Game Testing

I chose 4 games to test, including Apex Legends, Atelier Ryza 3, Hogwarts Legacy, and Horizon Zero Dawn. The game graphics were tested at 2560×1440 resolution while Turbo mode was turned on. Here is what we got:
Apex Legends
High Setting:

Average framerate: 91.3 FPS
Minimum framerate: 44.3 FPS
Maximum framerate: 143.5 FPS
1% low framerate: 57.8 FPS

Low Setting:

Average framerate: 125.6 FPS
Minimum framerate: 2.8 FPS
Maximum framerate: 165.0 FPS
1% low framerate: 27.2 FPS

Atelier Ryza 3
High Setting:

Average framerate: 47.1 FPS
Minimum framerate: 39.7 FPS
Maximum framerate: 63.7 FPS
1% low framerate: 38.2 FPS

Low Setting:

Average framerate: 79.6 FP
Minimum framerate: 68.3 FPS
 Maximum framerate: 114.7 FPS
1% low framerate: 63.1 FPS

Hogwarts Legacy
High Setting:

Average framerate: 45.1 FPS
Minimum framerate: 34.6 FPS
Maximum framerate: 55.0 FPS
1% low framerate: 26.4 FPS

Low Setting:

Average framerate: 47.4 FPS
Minimum framerate: 29.9 FPS
Maximum framerate: 59.7 FPS
1% low framerate: 17.8 FPS

Horizon Zero Dawn
High Setting:

Average framerate: 76.8 FPS
Minimum framerate: 69.9 FPS
Maximum framerate: 85.5 FPS
1% low framerate: 54.0 FPS

Low Setting:

Average framerate: 91.3 FPS
Minimum framerate: 81.2 FPS
Maximum framerate: 102.4 FPS
1% low framerate: 27.6 FPS

Each game had fairly high frame rates all around. Perhaps not as high as your top-end gaming desktops or laptops but still, it’s more than acceptable which is impressive for a tablet laptop.
Verdict

From what we’ve seen the ROG Flow Z13 is one of the most powerful tablet laptops nowadays, both in terms of design and hardware. It succeeds in allowing the user to access high-end gaming which good resolutions and framerates while still keeping the portability that makes tablets so appealing.
The laptop is priced at RM8,999 in Malaysia which is allow fairly reasonable for such a strong device. Overall if you want to take PC gaming on the go while also keeping all the strengths and efficiencies of a tablet, the ROG Flow Z13 may be what you’re looking for.
