RazerCon 2020 keynote highlights

The inaugural RazerCon 2020 kicked off a few hours ago with a keynote revealing a bunch of products that gamers can look forward to, and even be able to acquire! Here’s some of the highlights:

RAZER X CONSERVATION INTERNATIONAL
We’re working with our friends at Conservation International to turn a seed of hope into a forest of change—and it all starts with our Sneki Snek plushie.
For every sale of a Sneki Snek plushie (which we are making due to insane public demand), we will make a contribution to Conservation International to save 10 trees! What’s more, you’ll be able to track the progress of our efforts.
Your support to save 100,000 trees—nearly 400 acres of forests—is vital to protecting the endangered species (also Sneki Snek’s friends) that depend on these ecosystems for their survival.

The initiative is not applicable for China and Indonesia. Sneki Snek is available at USD$29.99.

Limited-Time Tera Raid Battle Events Are Coming To Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

A new trailer was posted last night for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet alongside new information about the game including limited-time Tera Raid Battle Events that will be available to play at the game’s launch.

Limited-Time Tera Raid Battles
In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you can partake in Tera Raid Battle events. Here, you’ll join a team of four to take on wild Terastallized Pokémon within a certain time limit. Limited-time Tera Raid Battle events where you will be able to take on specific Pokémon or encounter Pokémon with specific Tera Types are in development and will launch sometime after the games are released.

Catching Charizard

During your adventures in the Paldea region, you may find black crystals that look different than the ones you ordinarily approach to take on a Tera Raid Battle. The Pokémon you’ll face in these black Tera Raid crystals are much stronger than those that appear in ordinary Tera Raid Battles. If you manage to successfully defeat these Pokémon, you can get rewards that are even more exciting than usual.

Charizard with the Mightiest Mark will be appearing in black crystal Tera Raid Battles during two time periods:

Friday, December 2nd at 8:00 am (MYT), to Monday, December 5th at 7:59 am (MYT)
Friday, December 16th at 8:00 am (MYT), to Monday, December 19th at 7:59 am (MYT)

Charizard is a Pokémon that normally cannot be encountered in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. During the two-time windows, however, you’ll be able to find Charizard with Dragon as its Tera Type in black crystal Tera Raid Battles.
After the release of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, limited-time events featuring special Tera Raid Battles will allow you to take on specific Pokémon or encounter Pokémon with certain Tera types more frequently. The crystals related to these special Tera Raids may look ordinary at first glance, but they are shrouded in a mysterious aura.
The Eevee Spotlight

The first of these Tera Raid Battle events will be the Eevee Spotlight held from Friday, November 25th at 8:00 am to Monday, November 28th, at 7:59 am MYT.
During the event, Eevee with various Tera Types will appear more frequently in Tera Raid Battles. Team up with family, friends, and Trainers around the world to encounter the Evolution Pokémon. Eevee is known for being able to evolve into all sorts of types, and now you’ll be able to try catching it in your preferred Tera Type!
The Monsters Described in the Scarlet Book and Violet Book
The Scarlet Book, which will appear in Pokémon Scarlet, and the Violet Book, which will appear in Pokémon Violet, are records from an expedition that traversed an uncharted area of the Paldea region, but whether or not the accounts depicted are true remains unclear.
Photographs and sketches of unidentified creatures fill the pages of this book, and while there have been sightings of similar creatures in recent years, such reports are rare, and specific details of their biology are still a mystery.
The Monster Known as Great Tusk (Pokemon Scarlet)

The book describes how this savage monster attacked the expedition team with its large body and tusks, mortally wounding one of the explorers.
The Monster Known as Iron Treads (Pokemon Violet)

It is said that when this monster curls its body and rolls to attack, it leaves a trail gouged into the ground as if it had scorched the earth.
Updates and Online Play
Further updates are planned for Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet after release. You’ll be able to enjoy Mystery Gifts and features using the online play by downloading the latest data.
The version 1.0.1 update is planned to be available on the game’s release day, so please be sure to update your game before you start playing.
Receive a special Pikachu as an early-purchase bonus
You can get this special Pikachu as an early-purchase bonus up until Tuesday, February 28, 2023, by choosing Get via Internet from the Mystery Gift menu in your game. You can visit this page to learn more about other special purchase bonuses:
The Battle Stadium
In the Battle Stadium, you can enjoy online battles with Trainers from around the world. Casual Battles let you battle in a fun, easygoing way without worrying too much about wins or losses.
Ranked Battles will be available from December 2022, and Online Competitions are planned to be available from spring 2023. There will also be a version 1.0.1 update, in which you will need at least 1GB of free space on your system memory or microSD card.
The New Pokemon: Gimmighoul

Last night also saw the introduction of a new pokemon: Gimmighoul who seems to resemble a treasure chest. Gimmighoul hides all over the Paldea region, seemingly lying in wait for somebody to come across them.
Here’s the description given to this odd new pokemon:
“Gimmighoul hides inside sturdy treasure chests. While this provides them with a solid defense, the treasure chest’s weight causes Gimmighoul to move slowly, making travel difficult. It is not uncommon for Chest Form Gimmighoul to be mistaken for an antique and taken home or sold to an antique store.
When Gimmighoul senses a person or Pokémon drawing near, it ambushes them. It then uses ghost energy to control its target, forcing them to collect coins. Because it often hides in warehouses, shop corners, and other places people and Pokémon don’t frequent, it tends to keep persistent control of those it does manage to encounter”.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will launch on the 18th of November 2022.

Slime ISEKAI Memories Christmas event – Should you pull for the new units?

That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Memories just dropped its Christmas event, unveiling new units and event stages. This new event and banner, Maid for the Holidays, adds wind-element characters. Besides the new story content, here are all the new characters we’re getting:

Battle Characters

5★ [Queen of Yule] Luminus Valentine
4★ [The Bold Servant] Shion

Protection Characters

5★ [The Faithful Housemaid] Shuna.

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

Luminus is a wind element battle character who deals physical damage and has a single-target nuke. Her first skill is Nightmare Strike. Despite the name, it is actually a healing ability that heals all allies by 20% of their max HP. Even though it heals 5% less HP than Treyni, it also costs 5 Skill Points less. This makes her a strong alternative to Treyni, who is the best healer in the game.
Her second skill is a Soul Change, but it is unique because it changes 1 Soul of Divine Protection and 1 Soul of Secrets each into Soul of Skills. Luminus is the support character that Wind teams desperately needs—a fantastic unit that makes one of the most overpowered elements even better. If you’re planning to invest in Wind team, we highly recommend pulling for her.

[The Faithful Housemaid] Shuna is a wind element protection character who buffs wind ATK by 16% and water ATK by 8%. Her Divine Protection increases your team’s guard rate by 60% and the rate of Soul of Skills gauge increase by 50%, both effects for 3 turns. This makes her really defensive. Most of the time, 5★ protector Veldora and even Charybdis would be better protection units.

Lastly, [The Bold Servant] Shion is a free unit that all players will get by logging in. She is basically the Slime ISEKAI Memories Christmas event version of 4★ Dark Benimaru. Because the event will provide a lot of avenues to upgrade and awaken her, she is worth investing in, even though both of her skills are pretty bad.

With its OLED touchscreen and quad-core Intel® processor, it’s vivaciously styled and amazingly versatile. Equipped with a detachable full-size keyboard, a cover stand that has a 170° hinge and a high-precision ASUS Pen 2.0 stylus, this do-it-all laptop is equally at home in landscape or portrait mode, with or without a keyboard, so writing, typing, or watching at any angle in any environment is effortless.

Nicole Dezen, Microsoft’s CVP, Device Partner Sales said
“Windows 11 provides users with the best productivity, casual gaming and entertainment experiences, and the ASUS Vivobook 13 Slate OLED delivers on all three.”

Tweet to @GamerBraves

In 2022, Vivobook 13 Slate OLED will be available in several unique editions, including two Artist Editions designed in collaboration with artists Steven Harrington and Philip Colbert. These exclusive editions are themed to reflect modern pop culture, expressing the true individuality that Vivobook stands for.

Your personal OLED TV
The fantastic Vivobook 13 Slate OLED is the master of entertainment, thanks to its big 13.3-inch OLED Dolby Vision touchscreen — capable of displaying 1.07 billion colors — that puts ordinary tablets in the shade. This brilliant display has a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio that provides a full-screen viewing experience when watching movies and TV shows — unlike a 16:10 or 4:3 display. It’s also PANTONE® Validated with a cinema-grade 100% DCI-P3 gamut for accurate, vivid colors, and it’s DisplayHDR™ True Black 500 certified for deep blacks and brilliant highlights. Along with its incredible 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, this means it brings out every detail, even in the darkest scenes. This OLED display has a fast 0.2-millisecond response time, and it offers much better eye protection, too, with naturally lower blue-light levels — up to 70% lower than an LCD display — that deliver TÜV Rheinland-certified eye care.
Completing the exhilarating entertainment experience is the powerful quad-speaker Dolby Atmos sound system, which uses a smart amplifier to safely drive the four wide-range speakers at their maximum possible distortion-free volume — up to 3.5 times louder than with a standard amplifier — for rich and clear audio.
Of course, video streaming and cloud gaming also need fast, uninterrupted connections, so the ultrafast WiFi 6 is enhanced by ASUS WiFi Master technology for more stable, more reliable connectivity. Owners can take advantage of these benefits thanks to the free one-month Xbox® Game Pass Ultimate that’s bundled with Vivobook 13 Slate OLED.

Note or sketch every creative idea
Entertainment doesn’t always have to be passive, and Vivobook 13 Slate OLED makes it easy to pursue creative hobbies and interests with its responsive touchscreen and high-precision ASUS Pen 2.0. Pop this Microsoft Pen Protocol 2.0-compliant stylus out of its magnetic holder and it’s ready to write, draw or annotate with its 4096-level pressure sensitivity, 5-350 gram pen-tip force and 266 Hz sampling rate. The four interchangeable pen tips have different textures that mimic 2H, H, HB and HB pencils, providing a truly natural feel for sketching and drawing. Charging is easy via any USB-C charger, and when paired via Bluetooth® the shortcut button provides intuitive one-click functions, such as taking screenshots or navigating to the next page of a presentation. It’s perfect for taking advantage of the free Adobe® Creative Cloud® subscription, which includes one month’s access to all the world-renowned Adobe creative apps.

Your versatile PC
When work beckons, Vivobook 13 Slate OLED excels at on-the-go productivity. Just clip on the detachable full-size keyboard, and it’s ready to blitz through the serious stuff. This magnetically-attached marvel has keys spaced 19.05 mm apart for comfortable typing — the same as a standard desktop keyboard — with a long 1.4 mm key travel. The dished key caps also increase fingertip comfort. The mega-sized touchpad is engineered for maximum responsiveness and accuracy, and it has a special coating with a silky-smooth feel.
Zippy performance is provided by the quad-core 3.3 GHz Intel processor, with top-class components that include up to a 256 GB PCIe® Gen 3.0 x4 SSD and up to 8GB of fast LPDDR4X RAM. And what’s more, Intel Bridge technology allows any Android app to run on Windows 11, opening up a whole new world of productivity and entertainment. When we said Vivobook 13 Slate OLED is versatile, we meant it!
Need to connect a USB device or headphones, or transfer some files? No problem — there are two USB-C ports, an audio jack, and a microSD card reader ready and waiting. And for fast one-touch login, there’s an optional fingerprint sensor on the power button.
Charging the long-lasting 50 Wh battery is simple, too. USB-C Easy Charge means it can be charged from a power bank or almost any USB-C charger, and the bundled will charge it to 60% in as little as 39 minutes, so there’s never any hanging around.

Clearly better video calls
There’s nothing more embarrassing than noisy, fuzzy video calls. That’s why Vivobook 13 Slate OLED has two cameras — a 5 MP camera at the front for clear video calls, and a 13 MP rear camera for taking great photos or videos. AI Noise-Canceling Audio means that voices in meetings are as clear as possible, even when there are lots of people in the room.

Exclusive Artist Editions
In addition to the standard model, Vivobook 13 Slate OLED will also soon be available in two exciting and exclusive Artist Editions that reflect contemporary pop culture and celebrate individuality.
Available in early 2022, the Artist Editions are designed in collaboration with artists Steven Harrington and Philip Colbert. Steven Harrington is a Californian contemporary artist, and his Artist Edition offers a unique design inspired by his quirky art pieces. The Philip Colbert Artist Edition is a surrealist take by this London-based contemporary artist.
All special editions include a special cover stand, wallpaper, a special box, a sleeve, a keyboard, a hard cover case and keyboard stickers. The Philip Colbert Artist Edition also comes with a pair of limited-edition shoelaces. Every standard edition Vivobook 13 Slate OLED comes bundled with a keyboard, cover stand, and ASUS Pen 2.0.

Lukas (voiced by Greg Chun, illustrated by Cuboon) from Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

Also check out their introduction video of the new heroes:

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia is a new title for the 3DS. The game is a remake of Fire Emblem Gaiden. The characters that will be added into the mobile game, Fire Emblem Heroes are new and probably unfamiliar with unless you have played Fire Emblem Gaiden that was released back in 1992. However Nintendo has made the move to include them in as a special set of characters. This is probably a move for them to increase the hype for their upcoming game, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia for the 3DS.

Dynasty Warriors: Unleashed shows us how a AAA game should move into Mobile

One of the most popular hack ‘n’ slash game series, Dynasty Warriors have now welcomed their new mobile game title, Dynasty Warriors: Unleashed. Developed and published by KOEI TECMO, XPEC Entertainment and Nexon, the game launched their limited beta test and soft launch in selected region during January and March 2017.

Rejoice guys! The game was launched globally yesterday (30 March 2017). Different from the soft launched version, the global launch version came with new servers and more language settings. Here is my little quick look into Dynasty Warriors: Unleashed (check out what we covered about the soft launch here).

Storyline and Officers
The story of Dynasty Warriors: Unleashed is almost similar with the main series, which revolves around the war and unity between the 3 kingdoms, Wu, Shu and Wei. Bringing back the classic characters from the main series, over 140 officers are collectible. There are also 3 elements for the characters, namely Water, Fire and Wood. You can form your dream team with any of the officer you collected!

Every officer comes with some unique skills including a leader skill and powerful Musou skills. They do come with some separate grades shown as gold, silver, and bronze edges too, while their stats are said to be depending on their grades. Lock your gold officers so you won’t sell or use them as materials accidentally!

Besides, there is a great feature which you could try out every single officer in the index’s practice arena, even those you haven’t collected! Levelling up and promoting your officers unlocks more skills, however I would say it is quite difficult to promote officers up to 5 or 6 stars. Here is a tip for you: Don’t sell your officers, keep them up and feed them to the same character for skills levelling-up or use them as materials for promoting your preferred officers.
Equipments
Same as officers, equipment comes in 3 different grades, each with different stats and add-on effect.

Along with the upgrade and combine options, you can attach gems on the equipment for even more add-ons! Officer-specific weapons with special appearances and options are available too as shown below.
Game Modes
Lots of exciting game modes are featured in the game. Campaign mode is quite entertaining to play, as you could watch some cut scene about the game story before the battle starts. Don’t worry if you are in rush or lazy to watch them, there is a skip button for you. Rewards from completing a campaign battle includes officers and equipment!

While for the challenges, there are daily trials giving you some special challenges, a boss fight mode which you can fight bosses along with your friends, and an exploration mode which you deploy your officer to bring back some exploration rewards.

Battlefield mode features multiplayer mode such as arena and skirmish which you fight across the leaderboards. Raid mode enable you to collect and synthesize treasures while war supply offers you some mine to occupy for equipment, ingots, coins or XP treasures. There is also a conquest mode where you can conquer the lands and get various rewards!

Gameplay and Controls
Dynasty Warriors: Unleashed is beyond fun to play. 3 officers at most can be deployed for battle, with a support officer assisting you. In addition, you can switch between officers for strategy easily. Your officers will face a huge bunch of soldiers and some strong officer (or boss) in almost all the levels. Not need to worry if your officer is strong enough as your officer skills would be able to bring those soldiers flying around, giving you lots of K.Os and chains!

As for the controls, the game uses standard controls which players can learn and master easily. Just like many RPG games out there, you move your officers with a movable joystick at the left screen corner while the attack and skill release buttons are at the right screen corner. If you are lazy just like me, you can also activate auto-attack or auto-skill mode so you won’t need to tap on the screen so frequently.
Graphics
The game is having really great and detailed graphics with pleasant looking environment and colourful combinations. However, there are still some differences on level of detail if compared to the PC versions. Their animations are joyful to look at too!
Conclusion
I would give a rating of 8/10 to Dynasty Warriors: Unleashed as its overall quality is upon my expectations. 2 points deducted because the game is still facing some minor bug issues. Hope they would fix these in the next update. Have fun playing the game!

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade Episode 1 launched

Ubisoft has launched the first episode of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade today. The episode introduces new elements and features to Assassin’s Creed Odyssey as well as a look into the first user of the Hidden Blade, Darius.

In Hunted, the title of the first episode, players will meet Darius, a mysterious man who wields the iconic hidden blade. Episode 1 reveals a new threat to the players, the Order of the Ancients, a Persian organization.

Meeting Darius (right)
Each of the three episodes of Legacy of the First Blade will include a new ability linked to the skill tree. Hunted provides players with Death Veil, a new assassin ability. The ability causes any enemy that the player kills to disappear, making it a very useful ability for stealth. Furthermore, the DLC comes with new legendary equipment to help players deal with the new threat.

The release of Legacy of the First Blade marks the first part of the planned DLC episodic storylines for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Season Pass owners have access to both planned DLCs. However, players who wish to access Hunted need to clear the Naxos questline in Episode 7 of the main story. Furthermore, players also need to be at level 28.

Episodes 2 and 3 of Legacy of the First Blade will launch in early 2019. For more information on Assassin’s Creed, you can visit the official site. On the other hand, you can visit Ubisoft’s news site, Youtube channel and Facebook page for updates.

Is YuGiOh Master Duel Pay To Win? I Doubt It.

All week long since its surprise reveal last week, one opinion has been circulating YuGiOh Master Duel communities- is the game Pay To Win?

I mean, at first glance, the answer is an objective yes, because card games are kind of built on that whole model. Some cards are objectively better than others, and they cost money. In a real TCG, you’d need to sink a small fortune on either enough blind booster packs to get the card you want, or buy one on the secondary market where its price is adjusted for its strength and value.

With Master Duel, you can definitely still do that- it operates on the Free-To-Play model, and you can buy more packs with gems which you can spend on more cards.
Even the BattlePass can be bought with free gems, so you really have a good income when it comes to gems.
Technically, the same option comes into play here- you could in theory spend your mortgage on gems, and blow them all on cards until you had a full set of every card in the game.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

But I think the distinction here largely falls on the fact that you could have every card in the game and still lose. YuGiOh is still very much a skill-driven game– if I had to compare it, it’d be like a fighting game where on top of having to learn the camera, you also had to design the character’s moveset.
You could easily get Blue-Eyes Chaos Max Dragon, sure. But without the proper support the card is dead weight, and you still need to make the effort to look up ways to best use the card.
At the end of the day, there’s no brain-dead decks- you still need to have a high level of precise execution, so you could totally have two people with the same pool of cards but one vastly outclassing the other.
Comparing YuGiOh Master Duel To Other Pay To Win Titles
By this logic, the argument of Pay to Win does get a little diluted. Months ago, I called Pokemon Unite blatantly pay to win, because at launch it absolutely was. The right item build made your character virtually untouchable, and maxing out those items was basically impossible without the use of a credit card.

That’s not to say MOBAs aren’t skill-based either. You could still misplay horribly and get killed, costing your entire team to wish they could tell you all the ways they’d romance your mother. But the skill portion of a MOBA translates much differently to a TCG, since there’s so many more factors at play such as your teammates over-performing to cover for you and et cetera.
There’s also the argument to be had about how Free-to-Play-friendly Master Duel is- if you’re committed to any one deck, you could absolutely go a long way to building it without having to spend any money. The game’s CP system works really well for grinding your unwanted cards into dust, letting you then just buy the cards you need without charging a cent.

I mean, you could look at the PVE title Genshin Impact, which is way more aggressive with getting you to spend. You have to gacha for characters, duplicates for their Constellations, as well as their weapons. For a 5-star featured character you’d need approximately 140 pulls to guarantee each duplicate, and no amount of patiently doing your dailies is gonna prep you for that.
It’s still playable on a casual level, but opting for the best build for one character is absolutely not financially viable free-to-play. Compared to Master Duel, you absolutely could play competitive decks without spending the money thanks to the aforementioned dust.
On The Topic of Net-Decking
One common complaint about YuGiOh Master Duel that often follows the Pay To Win arguments is the concept of Net-Decking. Basically, the YuGiOh community is quite collaborative in sharing resources online about great decks to play, meaning anyone could go online and just build their own decks mimicking them.
This practice does draw some salt-encrusted responses. “Where is your creativity?”, and other such rhetoric.
I play an off-meta deck. Of course I’m going to lose to someone with an optimal deck. It’s not cheating, it’s a trait of the genre
Again with the fighting game analogy, it’s no different than studying pro player footage. High level players have solved plenty of problems faster than any new player can, there’s nothing wrong with building off their research. We made tiny computers to calculate the square root of numbers, it’s not intellectually dishonest to use them.
People who mimic tournament-winning decks 1:1 are simply playing a different game, and in time will ascend to a rank where they’ll be playing with other such players. Meanwhile if you’re using a more casual deck, you’ll find your niche of players to play with too.
So *Is* The Game Pay To Win?

Honestly, it’s a sliding scale. I’d definitely put Master Duel on the lower end of Pay To Win games. I could see this being difficult for someone who wants to use all top 5 tournament decks- like I said, the game gets much more gem-intensive the more cards you want.
But between YuGiOh’s high level of execution, the idea of “ugh this player just bought a good deck and kicked my butt” wreaks more of scrubquote than any argument with any real merit. If anything, YuGiOh Master Duel is no more pay to win than your standard TCG, which is a rarity in the free-to-play market where layers upon layers of obfuscation are practically its own meta.
So, Git Gud, I guess.

Higurashi Gacha Game Collabs with Clannad

The Higurashi Horror franchise about young girls being driven to insanity and brutally murdering each other is having a surprise collab with the cute yet sad romantic drama visual novel Clannad. It’s certainly an odd crossover.

This will take place within Higurashi No Naku No Koro Ni Mei. A gacha game based on popular visuals novels developed by D-Techno. At this point, we don’t know a lot about what the crossover will entail but there has been a trailer released featuring characters from each franchise. As a gacha game, chances are you’ll be able to draw the Clannad character to use in gameplay.

Needless to say, this will probably gear away from the more graphic side of Higurashi.  It should be noted that the two series do have a connection. The voice actress for Higurashi Heroine Rena Ryugu, Mai Nakahara is also the voice of Clannad heroine Nagisa Furukawa.

The collaboration will begin on August 13th. Higurashi No Naku No Koro Ni Mei is currently only available in Japan for IOS and Android. You can download it here.

The original Higurashi visual novels by Ryukishi07 are available internationally for PC. They were later adapted into an acclaimed anime series by Studio Deen. There have also been two more recent anime new series: Higurashi Gō and Higurashi Sotsu which act as a sequel to original visual novels/anime series. The latter of which is currently airing.
The original Clannad visual novel by Key is available internationally for PC and Nintendo Switch. It also has been adapted into an acclaimed anime series by Kyoto Animation (it will make you cry).
Here is our first impression of Higurashi Mei.

Like A Dragon: Ishin Review – An Interactive Samurai Thriller With Slick Combat

With the Yakuza or rather Like A Dragon series rising from the undergrounds of obscurity to rivaling Sonic as one of Sega’s modern mascots, the Team at Ryu Ga Gotoku has decided to remake Ishin, a spin-off title set in the Bakumatsu Period of Japan that also never made it out of Japan, until now that it.

I’m a pretty big fan of Samurai media, from Kurosawa’s classics to the blood-splattered works of Takashi Miike, and from the 20 hours I’ve played, Like A Dragon: Ishin takes all the best parts of pulpy Samurai thrillers and brings them into the interactive medium. This comes alongside a versatile battle system, fun characters, and a great world to explore.

A Tale of Revenge
Image Credit: Sega
Like A Dragon Ishin takes place in 1866 during the Bakumatsu Period in Japan. American ships forced the country to end its 200+ year isolation, causing a rift between Samurai working under the Shogun and loyalists who wish to see the Emperor restored to political power.
In the middle of this is Sakamoto Ryoma (played by Yakuza’s Kazuma Kiryu) a high-ranking samurai from the Tosa clan. At the start of the game, his adoptive father is murdered, and he is framed for the attack leading him to desert his home and travel to Kyoto under the name Saito Hajime. Upon hearing that the attacker is a member of the Shinsengumi, The Shogun’s elite samurai police, he is determined to infiltrate their ranks and get revenge on the killer. As he investigates further however he’ll learn of a greater conspiracy that will affect the future of Japan as a whole.

Welcome to The Shinsengumi
Image Credit: Sega
The plot of Ishin is a well-told samurai revenge story with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing. It was always exciting to see how things would unfold next with the vast web of schemes, alliances, and betrayals rearing their heads.
I really like the portrayal of the historical samurai in the game. Characters like Ryoma, Saito Hajime, and the various Shinsengumi members were all real-world people who have been portrayed many times in Japanese media. Here they’re played by different Yakuza characters, taking a lot of interesting artistic liberties with the source materials. I think my favorite is probably Souji Okita, who tends to be depicted as a young bishounen yet here is portrayed by the unhinged Goro Majima. Other characters like Hijikata, Izo, and the girl at the inn Oryo likewise make for memorable cast members with likable arcs and revelations.
The game actually goes on the depict a number of events leading up to the Meiji Restoration often with more comedic or shounen-style antics. It’s a lot of fun especially if you’re interested in the real-life history of the setting. If you’re a fan of works like Rurouni Kenshin or Gintama which also cover The Shinsengumi you’ll probably like how they’re dealt with in this game.
Exploring Kyo
Image Credit: Sega
Most of Like A Dragon Ishin takes place in the city of Kyoto, or ‘Kyo’ as most characters refer to it. This is where the game’s Yakuza DNA really shines through. First, the city is beautiful and feels very appropriate to the time period from the costumes and architecture. The performance of the game also ran well although it did have the occasional texture pop-in and there were minor bugs with some of the NPCs getting stuck on objects while they walk. Minor issues overall but it did happen quite a few times.
Despite being a fairly small set of streets, Kyo feels a lot more alive than some open-world games do. The town is littered with various shops and activities. These can come in the form of minigames like Karaoke, dancing, gambling, and fishing, you can even get a second house to raise and sell crops. Not to mention, you can also upgrade your sword, gun, and armor at the blacksmith (or the black market) and eat some Ramen to regain health. There’s a lot to do and I found myself exploring for hours.
Image Credit: Sega
This all ties in with the side stories or ‘sub-stories’ as they’re referred to where Ryoma meets with and helps out various people around town and some of these people can be weird. You have foreigners sneaking into the country, a female debt collector that essentially doubles as a vigilante, and feeding a low-ranked sumo wrestler so he can get back in the game. My favorite is probably the sub-story with the journalist who wants to conduct the first-ever interview in Japan with you. You have the answer with different prompts to make the Shinsengumi look better, and showed me I really have to work on my marketing skills. It can get silly but it’s charmingly silly.
Increase your virtue
Image Credit: Sega
Buying goods from shops, working part-time, and trying out mini-games will increase your bond with the various Kyo residents, which in turn can net you new dialogue scenes that give you a greater look into the lives of these people and also some new items and upgrades. Doing these errands around town will also get you virtue points, which can be traded in at temples for upgrades around the overworld, like being able to sprint for longer periods of them.
That feature, in particular, is pretty important because there’s a lot of backtracking in this game. You’ll be running between your Inn, The Barracks, and other places constantly and it can get a little tedious after a while especially since Ryoma’s regular running animation outside of battle isn’t super fast. You can unlock a quick travel feature later on through a side quest but it’s still somewhat restrictive to certain areas.
Overall however I really like the world of the game. You can see what fans mean when they say the fun of Yakuza is in the side content, it’s cool exploring the different shops and goofing off with the mini-games. The side characters while not important in the grand scheme of things also feel appropriate to the time period and never overstay their welcome. You can ignore most of this if you want but there were always certain shops or restaurants I constantly found myself returning to because they were just nice to chill at.
Fight Like A Dragon

Of course, this wouldn’t be a samurai game or a Yakuza game with some street brawls. With thugs and bandits wandering the streets of Kyo, you can be pulled into a fight at any time. Battles take place in the form of beat ’em up style gameplay, with a light attack, heavy attack, dodge button, guard, and guard break. Fighting in battle will also build up your heat gauge which can be seen with the blue flames rising around Ryoma’s body. These allow him to perform special attacks for extra damage.
Another cool feature is if you get an enemy on the ground, you can perform a cinematic attack, hitting them while they’re down such as stabbing them to the ground with your Katana. These are really helpful for quickly taking out enemies when you’re surrounded by a pack of thugs. This is also a good time to mention that combat can get super violent, with lots of visceral blood. Despite this however it’s shown that Ryoma never actually kills anyone, your foes are totally fine even after you’ve just shot them through the stomach. Overall, combat is a riot. Is easy to string seamless combos together and the attacks always pack a punch without ever feeling repetitive.
The Four Styles
Image Credit: Sega
This is combined with four styles of combat that you can use in the game: Brawler: barehanded combat, Swordsmans: using a katana, Gunman: using a pistol, and Wild Dancer: using a combination of swords and guns. Each feels very different and all of them can be fun and useful in different circumstances.
Brawler is classic Yakuza, bashing and kicking dues in the teeth. Swordsman was probably my favorite, just slashing enemies down with the katana, it hits really hard but many attacks require some time to wind up and can leave you vulnerable if timed wrong. Get it right however and it’s both bloody and satisfying. The Gunman style has you just shooting people, it can be good if you want to cheese the game and snipe foes from afar but otherwise isn’t too interesting.
Finally, Wild Dancer is the red mage of styles, it’s a middle ground between sword and gun, allowing you to slash, shoot and twirl around like a drunken grandpa in Texas. As the name implies it’s super flashy with dance-like spin dodges and ending combos with a flurry of gunshots in all directions. The downside is that it does less damage but I found it really good for bosses since it lets you dodge their attacks more easily then comes back in with another slew of combos.
Image Credit: Sega
Each of these systems has different skill trees which you can upgrade with orbs you gain by using them more. The skill tree is interesting as well, it’s shaped like a circle with branching paths to follow and unlock stat upgrades very similar to the Sphere Grid in Final Fantasy X. I do like how easy it is to follow while giving a good sense of progress.
Trooper Cards
Even Yakuza couldn’t escape having a sort of in-game gacha mechanic in the form of the trooper cards. Being a Shinsengumi Captain, you have a squad of soldiers who work under you and they come in the form of cards that you can equip to Ryoma.
In battles, you can equip four cards for each of your four style systems. They can provide you with a limited amount of buffs or healing, and a couple of rare ones even give you access to special attacks. One trooper for each style will be a corporal and have an extra corporal trait. This can likewise be a passive buff like extra damage.
Image Credit: Sega
Trooper cards can further be leveled up to enhance their abilities and lower the cooldown time it takes for them to use their attacks once again. At the Barracks you can even go on special dispatch missions like getting rid of bandits to train and level them up quicker.
You can recruit more cards by drawing more of them with in-universe money (the money you earn through the game to buy items, not real-world money), unlocking them after battles and some enemies will even ask to join you and will turn into one. There are even big-name Youtubers like Nyanners that appear as cards (no seriously). You also have the option to fuse them together to make stronger cards because apparently, Japanese soldiers work like SMT demons in the Shinsengumi.
With around 400 different cards and a variety of different skills with different effects, there’s a lot you can do with the troopers. Getting a slow but reliable healing trooper really saved my neck a couple of times and I can see people playing on the harder difficulties really sinking time into the customization that they provide.
Closing thoughts
Image Credit: Sega
Like A Dragon: Ishin is a great action-adventure game that brings the best of the Yakuza series into a new setting. The Bakumatsu Period Kyoto feels lived in. Yeah, the backtracking can be a pain at times but the amount of detail in the world and the various characters and side quests still make it fun to explore. Seeing the portrayals of historical samurai and the pulpy thriller surrounding them is likewise great, creatively showing real events of history through Yakuza’s more over-the-top and heartfelt storytelling.
The combat is classic beat-em fun with the four battle styles each feeling engaging and exciting to use in different situations. Pulling off a tricky combo and then stabbing a guy through the stomach remains incredibly satisfying the whole way through. Overall Like A Dragon: Ishin may be but a humble spin-off title but it very much has the heart of Yakuza and the soul of a samurai.

Total War: Three Kingdoms trailer shows off Dong Zhuo

Ahead of its launch on 7 March 2019, Total War: Three Kingdoms posted a new reveal trailer showcasing a new playable faction.

The faction in question is none other than Dong Zhuo, the tyrant who brought about the fall of the Han dynasty, ushering in the era of the Three Kingdoms.

With the inclusion of Dong Zhuo, Total War: Three Kingdoms boasts a total of 12 playable factions, namely Liu Bei; Cao Cao; Sun Jian; Liu Biao; Dong Zhuo; Yuan Shao; Yuan Shu; Ma Teng; Gongsun Zan; Kong Rong; Zheng Jiang and Zhang Yan.

Greed drives the malevolent Dong Zhuo, and he’ll let nothing stand in his way. Flanked by his adopted son Lü Bu, the greatest warrior in the land, no one can match their might and fury. By spreading fear and intimidation, those who oppose Dong Zhuo will soon bow down. Victory is nearly in his grasp!
Dong Zhou will appear as a playable faction once you defeat Dong Zhuo in battle (you don’t need to kill him, just defeat the army he is a part of) or reach the rank of Emperor.

New Playable Characters And Story Are Being Added To Sonic Frontiers

Here are the further patch notes for the new update:

Fixed a bug where the boss would sometimes disappear when retrying the boss battle on
Kronos Island.
Fixed a bug where the large Challenge on Chaos Island would display as incomplete on
the map even after completing it.
Fixed a bug on the Xbox Series S that prevented players from being able to select “60fps
mode”.

While it’s not currently confirmed, the key visual in the post seems to indicate Knuckles, Amy, and Tails will be playable. If that really is the case, this will be the first time the three of them are playable in the Sonic game since Sonic Heroes in 2003, almost 20 years ago.
In general, there haven’t been multiple established playable characters in the mainline Sonic games since Sonic The Hedgehog (2006) which featured Shadow and Silver as playable. The closest we’ve had is Sonic Forces which has Classic Sonic and an avatar character. Many fans have wished for more characters to be playable in the new games and it seems Sonic Team is giving them what they want with Frontiers.

New anti-cheat detection system in PUBG Mobile to identify and ban in-game cheaters

The PUBG Mobile security team has always enforced zero-tolerance towards in-game cheating since the game’s launch in 2018. This is to ensure a fair and healthy game environment. PUBG Mobile is giving more insight into its existing cheating detection efforts. Further initiatives are also in development, including an  upgraded anti-cheat system with advanced real-time detection technology.

The first line of defense is a detection software to scan for suspect software and modified game data. A massive and ever-expanding library is used to cross-reference to keep up with ever evolving hacking and cheating methods. Game observation techniques are also employed to identify players using unfair means to gain advantages. This is especially used to monitor reported players to ensure only the cheaters are banned fairly. The team is capable of differentiating the use of unfair software, skill and any occurrences due to lag or packet loss.

Jing Yuan Banner Breaks Honkai Star Rail Top Up System

The launch of Jing Yuan in Honkai Star Rail has proven to be pretty successful- enough so his banner would break the game’s payment platform.

According to the Honkai Star Rail Weibo page, after Jing Yuan was added to the Featured Banner, there was such a surge of players topping up that it was causing some players to not receive their Stellar Jades.
However, three hours later, the account reported that the issue had been resolved, with the proper Stellar Jades being credited to their owner’s accounts.

“For those who encountered this problem, please log back into the game using the device used when the recharge was not received, and the unaccounted goods will be issued automatically. If the product still has not arrived, please contact the official customer service and provide screenshots of the recharge order and other information”, the statement reads.
In addition, HoYoverse also said they would be issuing free Stellar Jades as compensation for players affected by the issue, though considering the notice was only on Weibo that means it’ll likely only be for China-based accounts.
Jing Yuan marks the first new banner character for Honkai Star Rail, replacing the launch featured banner, Seele.
Given it’s only the second day of the banner it’s still too soon to know how much money The General has made- though according to AppMagic, the game is currently sitting at over 96 million USD following the end of Seele’s banner.

A quick overview of Luna Mobile

Let us first straighten things out a bit here – there are currently two mobile games based on the Luna Online MMORPG developed in China, both claiming to have been granted rights from IP owner EYA Interactive. The one for this write-up will be Luna Mobile, which is currently in its early test phase.

In terms of graphics, Luna Mobile is very reminiscent to that of its PC counterpart, so if you have played that, you will be right at home. Key features such as player accommodation, mounts, pets and costumes have been ported to Luna Mobile, so a lot here will be familiar. Combat seems to be standard turn-based MMORPG fare, so there is nothing particularly worth writing home about. Not ground-breaking, but functional.

Some gameplay elements were noticeable missing on the mobile platform, at least for the time being. Stuff like dating and mount racing are not available just yet. In any case, we do hope that the game finds itself a publisher soon, as we will be able to revisit it when the time comes with more features included.

The game is not only being ported but has undergone a 2D HD remake similar to the style of Octopath Traveler and the upcoming Triangle Strategy.
Live A Live follows seven different playable characters, set between different places and time periods such as a cowboy in the wild west and a knight in the middle ages. As the story progresses, however, the different character’s plots eventually begin to intertwine in unexpected ways.

The RPG was originally released by Squaresoft for the Japanese Super Nintendo or Super Famicom in 1994 but was never brought overseas. A reason for this was never given however Ted Woosley, the translator who wrote the English script for Final Fantasy VI and many other Square RPGs at the time said it was due to the low graphical quality compared to Square’s other games.
The game was later fan translated by Aeon Genesis and maintained a small cult following in the west. The game is often remembered for its dark and subversive narrative for an RPG at the time.
This HD remake will be released for the Switch on July 22nd, 2022, almost 30 years after its initial release in Japan. The game can be pre-ordered on the Nintendo Eshop.

Japanese version of Epic Seven announced

The global version of Epic Seven came out a few months ago and since then, it’s been a huge success. Now, the Japanese version is set to be launched within this year but a specific release date wasn’t announced by its publisher, Yostar.

Epic Seven is a mobile turn-based, side-scrolling RPG with top-notch Live 2D anime-style graphics and animation. In our previous first impressions article, we did mention the fact that not a single Japanese cast was featured in the global version despite its anime-like features, is easily the biggest disappointment of the game. Now, with the Japanese version confirmed, players can finally get to experience the ‘correct combination’.

From the screenshots shown, it looks like the game will be adopting a more similar art style to Under-Night, the fighting game that also featured Melty Blood character Eltnum as a guest. It even features cut-ins of the characters portraits, presumably as you use super moves.
