Granadia Saga now available for download

Bushiroad’s latest mobile RPG Granadia Saga is already available for download for Android and iOS. The servers are however yet to be up at this point, and will be announced at a later date.

The game is a tactical title with character designs Hino Shinnosuke who worked on Fire Emblem Heroes and certain cards for Puzzle & Dragons. As with other games similar to this, there is an in-depth single player campaign to be delved into. As a tactics-styled RPG, the game demands your strategical sense to dominate the battlefield with a plethora of skills and characters. You will also be able take that skillset and pit it against other players online. Of course, by virtue of being a free-to-play title, expect to recruit new characters through gacha, but we reckon that you will be able to progress as an F2P regardless.

Apex Legends: Family Feud with Newcastle and Bangalore

It’s time for some sibling rivalry with Newcastle dropping in to Apex Legends. Let’s not dally more, and dive into the newest Legend throwing his hat into the game.

BUILDING THE NEW CASTLE
“Bangalore’s brother” and his “death” is likely all that most people know about Newcastle in the context of Apex Legends. Now that he’s totally alive and well, this gives an opportunity to see a different Bangalore dynamic. He’s also here as Team Dad, presumably with the classic brand of jokes and showing what life is like outside of the oftentimes brutal game the cast find themselves in.

From concept to fully fleshed out character, it’s hardly a straightforward process. Newcastle’s core point is to be a defender, eventually hitting on the decision to lean on the “superhero” aspect with some medieval touches. Unfortunately for the man, he’s a little unfit at this point in time, making the suit a wee bit tight. One gets the idea he’s trying to be Team COOL Dad, being all “how are you doing fellow kids”. With those building blocks, they had to work on designing an iconic shield and silhouette, drafting his basic poses and showcasing his personality, kind of like a mood-maker for his team. This gets capped off with him having Bangalore’s bracelet for that extra touch.

The team says work on his kit actually started almost two years ago, as they prototyped more defensive and support Legends. The roadmap at the time was leaning to offensive characters before any kind of shakeup came up. The kit that showed promise was dubbed “Axiom”, based around the idea of a defensive push, throwing out mobile cover for the frontline to more easily reach an enemy’s position. The original premise was a more selfish kit, until they decided to bring Titanfall‘s Jackson into Apex Legends for that whole connecting the dots.
Laid-back, while also being a staunch protector of his family and squad, the kit began to evolve around his selflessness, increasing the team focus and ensuring they stay alive. The ultimate took longer to finalize when they realized they wanted Newcastle to be able to reach his team when they need him. Instead of having to make the choice to abandon a teammate when they’re compromised, support players can now be that hero to rally your friend in need.
BEING THE CASTLE
Leaning on the fantasy of the heroic defender, Newcastle has to be one to leap into the fray to protect allies, or shield their advance and leave no man behind. He’s got the confidence – and skill – to lay his life on the line to ensure he pulls his team out of the line of fire. This meant no “classic” bunker defense, needing mobility to enable those clutch rescues.

Passive – Retrieve the Wounded

Using his wrist-mounted Revive Shield, Newcastle can protect himself and his companion from incoming fire while he revives and pulls his ally to safety. The Revive Shield is powered by Newcastle’s own Knockdown Shield, so finding higher levels of this item increases the strength of this ability.

Tactical – Mobile Shield:

Newcastle creates a hovering energy shield and can control its movement to adapt to the ever changing combat fronts of the battlefield. Advance the line, cover a retreat or turn the shield to guard against a sudden flank. The Mobile Shield’s versatility and top/bottom shield projections give creative opportunities to the tactical defender.

Ultimate – Castle Wall:

Drawing his signature shield from his back, Newcastle leaps into action and slams the shield to the ground activating the construction of a massive fortress to give him and his allies a strong defensive position. Enemies in its wake are knocked back and those who try to push through the energized wall are punished and slowed.
While Newcastle can leap great distances in a single bound with his Ultimate, it is even stronger when used to regroup. When targeting an ally, Newcastle can leap higher and farther than normal allowing him to heroically reach his companion and turn the tide of a fight.

They do have their predictions on where he might stand in the meta, but they acknowledge the live build can be unpredictable. What they hope to see is Newcastle enabling riskier plays, or the clip-worthy Super Clutch moments to turn the tides. There is some potential synergy with Bangalore where she could smoke and make it even safer for Newcastle to rescue, but also she could also push him off kilter, and he can’t protect them from aerial threats. As with any sibling dynamic, they’ve got the give and take, and you’re going to get some unique banter in too.
Mad Maggie, Fuse, Gibraltar and Bangalore herself can all be potential counters to our heroic DT here, but the team feels, balance-wise, he should have enough options to make the plays against them.
OUTSIDE THE CASTLE

They can’t confirm if Newcastle’s comic book-style intro meant we could have a physical comic release, acknowledging it would be pretty cool. The IMC wouldn’t let him be the hero he wanted to be. With the Newcastle identity, he can live that fantasy.
Now, we’ll have to see what verbal clash he and Bangalore will get up to whether they’re working with or against each other.

Team Liquid at The International 11 – “Play it out, do what you’ve always done”

With the conclusion of The International 11, Team Liquid concluded their run in the Top 3, and Lasse “MATUMBAMAN” Urpalainen retiring from professional play. In the lead up to the event, we had a media session with them, which, looking back now, can feel just a little bittersweet. Alongside Michael “miCKe” Vu, Ludwig “zai” Wåhlberg, Samuel “Boxi” Svahn and Aydin “iNSaNiA” Sarkohi, let’s see what they had to say prior to Finals Weekend.

Interview has been edited for clarity. You can see more of the artwork for the feature image here by Alice X. Zhang.

ROAD TO TI 11
Do you feel that you have had the best personal performance in a particular tournament of your career? How about a highlight from your road to The International 11?
Boxi: Can’t remember any other tournament I played, to be honest, like, if it was good or bad, I just remember I played them. The good memory would be the Last Chance Qualifier win, but other than that, there have been memories, but not highlights.
Follow us on Twitter

Tweet to @GamerBraves

How much do you think going through the Last Chance Qualifiers has prepared you for getting this far at TI 11 both in-game and out?
iNSaNiA: I think the LCQ was probably a big blessing for our team. I think it really allowed us to test out our ideas, have some pretty hype performances, and you get to see what does or doesn’t work when you get to test your ideas against other high level teams. I think we probably wouldn’t have been here if it wasn’t for the LCQ.
Which team would you like to meet in the finals?
zai: I think it would be cool to meet Team Secret. It would make for, I think, a good storyline for both me individually, and for this TI with both of us being LCQ teams and, for lack of a better word, mediocre, then making it all the way.

No one expected us to qualify for The International, yet alone making it this far into the tournament.
This isn't the underdog story we wanted but we're thankful for all the support throughout this journey 🖤 #SecretDota #TI11 pic.twitter.com/v0cP8J1AyB
— Team Secret (@teamsecret) October 30, 2022

You seem to be in good and stable form in this tournament. What’s different this time? How did you prepare for it individually?
miCKe: I mean, I guess it’s because we’re playing as a team; when you play well as a team it’s easier to shine.
You got knocked down 2-0 to the lower bracket by Team Aster, and you’ll be playing them again. What can we expect from the match, emotionally speaking?
zai: I can only speak for myself, but I’m not driven by some rage or coming for revenge. They’re a good team and we learnt from them, and we’ve beaten 3 teams since. We’re not the same team as we were when we played them before, so that’s our angle: we’ve gotten better.
After you beat OG, you guys went and hugged Taiga. What did you say to him?
iNSaNiA: I know he said something like, “you have to go all in the whole thing now”, and I probably just said something like I’ll try my best, or we’re gonna do it, you know? It feels like so long ago.
For the Thunder Predator game, what was the most difficult thing of the series?
iNSaNiA: I think it’s about Thunder always surviving the early game, because they will run at you and try to kill you, and they’re very, very good at it. Getting past the first 20 minutes or so is probably the most difficult thing, but for the specific series, it was about trying to keep your head cool, don’t get too stressed out and do what you need to do.
PREP WORK, AND THE SCENE
What does the coach do for the team? How does JerAx and Blitz collaborate with each other and affect the team?
iNSaNiA: So for us, we have JerAx, Blitz and Jabbz as coaches. How it usually works is that Blitz is focused on the draft, JerAx on the gameplay, and Jabbz does the groundwork that allows them to present the information in an understandable way.
For example, Blitz looks at the hero picks, while JerAx is more on wards, smoke conditions, or map movement.

— Team Liquid (@TeamLiquid) October 30, 2022

As a legendary player retiring after this TI, can you give us your opinion on any young players you think we should be keeping an eye on this season?
MATUMBAMAN: I don’t really follow anything, like I don’t even use social media. About good players, not necessarily “young”, I think Topson is definitely back. While he got eliminated from LCQ, it felt like he was the one pushing his team forward. There’s always some people out there, but they’re often hidden and you really need to search for them.
Who’s the SEA Dota player who impresses you the most, and why?
iNSaNiA: I’m not gonna be choosing among the pros, but in public there was this guy who played Leshrac, and he played Leshrac against me and he won both games. When I opened up the Dota 2 pro tracker, I saw he had played like 47 games of Leshrac in the past eight days and that impressed me a lot. I believe his nickname was fermium2.0? I don’t know who it is, but I was very impressed by his ability to play the same hero so many times in such a short time.
The hero in question.
Do you believe that age is directly related to performance?
zai: I think for Dota, age is more for reflexes. I think your performance is more related to your motivation and your ability to play this game day in, day out, with reactions and such being more secondary.
MATUMBAMAN: For sure. There’s examples of ex-professionals like race car drivers who are like 50 but their reflexes are still top tier, you know? It’s more like at some point you just stop caring and play like you don’t want to play anymore.
As you draft, do you particularly emphasize more on opportunities, counters or your personal strengths?
MATUMBAMAN: It’s a little bit of everything where you look at what you can do, and what they can do. You can’t just see their best strengths and strategies, you have to start thinking what heroes of yours work well against theirs, and you build off that. It’s like a 50/50.
Do you think that having 3 European teams helps more since you know them very well or is it actually more difficult because of the same reason?
zai: It’s a bit of both for me, but I think everyone’s kinda showing their cards already. Even if you weren’t familiar with these teams, I think by this time, you will be familiar with them. For now, it’s nice to see Europe deliver on the big stage as a testament to show how strong the region is and gives context do your results throughout the year.
For teams with off-meta strategies, would they have a chance to succeed, or can nothing beat the meta?
iNSaNiA: Obviously there are always answers to the meta stuff. The reason people play the meta is because it’s the easiest to execute or to get things together. I think the effort needed to play off-meta is a lot higher, because you have to figure out how to beat these things. Due to the planning phase and how drafting works, all that effort might be messed up just by removing one or two key pieces.
What do you guys think is happening in the NA region at the moment?
iNSaNiA: I think the North America scene has kinda shrunk to a point where you don’t really see many new and upcoming players out of it, and I think it really hurts them. Even if you’re a strong team, if your practice partners aren’t, then you’re never going to be stronger or you end up being very one-dimensional.
PERSONAL FEELINGS
How does it feels to play in front of the SEA crowds?
iNSaNiA: It’s always very fun. Crowds go very crazy, and it feels like I heard more about giving Liquid a chance this event than any of the others, probably mostly due to the fact we made the playoffs.

For zai, having successfully played Position 3 (Offlane) and Position 4 (Support) before, which role do you like better?
zai: I think it would be position 4. Well, I haven’t played pos. 4 since TI 8, but I think it’s nowhere to what it is like nowadays. It’s got its ups and downs, so I guess it’s offlane these days. It takes a little bit more, and you need to be up to speed for a lot of things. It might sound like a “grass is greener on the other side” kind of thing, but I’m happy alright.
What removed neutral item do you want to brought back to the game? Why?
Boxi: I think they should have Ironwood Tree back. I feel the most fun about it was people trying to use it and set up for something like a Windranger’s Shackleshot, or try to block someone but because the hitbox is smaller than a normal tree, it doesn’t work.
Most influential teammate for you?
miCKe: iNSaNiA and Boxi, probably. We played together for so long and been through a lot together.
What mid matchup do you feel is challenging to play?
miCKe: Player wise, I think Nisha (Team Secret). For heroes, I don’t really know, but Nisha is too good right now.
Do each of you have a specific moment in the moment where you decided you go pro with Dota? Or did it just happen without you realizing?
iNSaNiA: For me at least, it was an active decision to switch from Heroes of Newerth. It was deciding on switching, studying or do something else, and I decided I wanted to play Dota.
zai: I think when I was about 16, I went to my first tournament. I was still at school, but we played some and it was fun. After winning some tournaments, there was this moment I felt, yeah, I’m on a roll, and that was that.
How amazing is it to sit back as a player at TI 11 after previously being an analyst? Can you share your experience?
iNSaNiA: It’s awesome to be here as a player. Casting was fun and all, but there’s always a part of you where you get to see everyone and you don’t get a chance to stop them, all you do is talk about how good they are. I mean, I had a fun time at TI 10 which was well received which probably made the experience much better for me. Also, working with a lot of people like ODPixel, it’s pretty hard not to do a good job when you’re standing next to someone so passionate, jumping around and yelling.

They couldn’t hear a word I said but I’m so proud of them both! Two very kind people who deserve all the love! Gonna absolutely slay this cast 🔥🔥🔥 @iNsan1a @ODPixel #ti10 pic.twitter.com/OZPq6Wy3iz
— Moxxi (@MoxxiCasts) October 17, 2021

What are your plans after TI, regardless of the result?
zai: I want to go back home and chill for maybe up to three weeks. We’ve been on the road for a long time this year, and it’s been pretty exhausting time. Just wind down.
MATUMBAMAN: I’m going to be grinding, back to 14 hour days.
If you could pick anywhere in the world to host TI, where would you want it to be?
miCKe: Sweden. It’s easy, no need to travel then.
iNSaNiA: I really want to go to Australia at some point, maybe Japan?
Boxi: Japan would be sweet.
This is going to be Matu’s last TI. Does that add to the pressure, considering the emotional aspect from fans?
MATUMBAMAN: Not really. There are different ways to approach things. Some people will be scared of losing, I suppose, but would that really define the whole career I’ve had? I just go there, do what I always have done, prepare the same way and show up.

"You should never pursue something blindly if you don't enjoy the process of getting there."
Thank you for letting us take this journey with you @MATUMBAMAN 💙 pic.twitter.com/03qbJRLvHy
— Team Liquid (@TeamLiquid) October 30, 2022

 What is the thing that you will miss the most about Pro DOTA once you retire?
MATUMBAMAN: I think it would be meeting the people, catching up with the old friends at events, maybe the adrenaline you get from playing on the stage. I’m not sure if I’ll miss of much else, but you can never really tell what you miss until you do.

The shuffles have only just begun, surely. When Team Liquid rises again, be sure to meet them there. We wish MATUMBAMAN the best of luck in his future endeavours, and that the team will be able to continue the pursuit of victory in his stead.

[ TGA 2020 ] Crimson Desert Gameplay Trailer revealed

As promised, Crimson Desert revealed a new trailer at The Game Awards 2020, featuring in game footage! You can check it out below:

As you might expect, there’s plenty of expansive terrain shown off, as well as combat. The UI is minimal for now, so we can’t really say how it’ll work out, but you can definitely expect that real time action battle you Souls-like fans would be familiar with. It looks like you can get visual feedback on your injuries, like how arrows appear to be stuck in the character. It also shows off some clambering onto a boss to deal blows to it, as well as aerial combat and presumably a kind of siege mode. We’ll have to stay tuned for more details, but it looks gorgeous, so look forward to Pearl Abyss’ next title. Check out some screenshots below:

The Nyauntlet, A Cursed Neco Arc Only Tournament For Melty Blood Type Lumina Announced

With Neco Arc making her Melty Blood Type Lumina debut today, one group has launched a Neco Arc only tournament, accepting global entrants.

Titled the Nyauntlet and hosted by PlusFrames, this tournament has simple rules: you play as Neco Arc and fight your way through a single elimination bracket to be the last cat standing.
To add to the hyper competitiveness that comes with being a Neco Arc main, the payout will only be given to the true victor- only the top 1 in the tournament will see any money for their efforts.

However, creative players will also see some cash, as the organizers are also awarding cash prizes for fans who submit creative tech involving the chaotic cat creature.
It should be noted that there will be tournaments for both PC and PS4, so even more players can get in and embrace the random item character.

Neco Arc is a huge fan favorite character in the Melty Blood series, having originally appeared in the bad ends for Tsukihime before also being a huge part of Carnival Phantasm, a gag anime featuring Tsukihime and Fate characters.
The idea of the tournament even explicitly declaring that wifi was acceptable (something not usually the case for stability reasons) is a good example of just how much fun they’re having with this- a chaotic, messy tournament of players disconnecting and teleporting all over the screen is incredibly on-brand for the character.
The same was even echoed by streamer and fellow Melty Blood player Jiyuna, who jokingly accused Neco Arc players of exactly this behavior when the character was announced .

The first of the new characters shown is the King Of Facade. Facade is the name of one of the game’s locales, plagued by Shade attacks and even water shortages. According to Square Enix, he’s a kind-hearted man, though apparently he may have broken an important law in his law-focused kingdom.

The second character they showed was Fyra, another resident of Facade. The local laws prevent her from speaking, so she’s a lot more quiet. According to Square Enix she’s met Kaine once before, and so is friendly to the protagonist and party.

Aside from the two new characters, they also explained some of the locations such as the Northern Plains. The Village here houses the protagonist and Yonah, his younger sister. The plains themselves are full of wild animals, and the village has plenty of amenities like a bar and a library.

Facade is the home of Fyra and the King, and is a city obsessed with rule of Law. This desert city is near a Forbidden Temple, that the residents are barred from entering.
Finally, they also talked about the systems of the game, many of which might seem familiar to fans who played the follow up Nier Automata.

The first  is Magic, which can only be accessed for as long as you have the Grimoire Weiss with you. These can be used in combination with Dark Blood to create constructs such as hands and spears to do big damage. The magic can also be charged, allowing you to use it for different situations.

Similar to Automata, The protagonist can use a variety of weapons, even being able to switch between them mid-combat. These can range from one-handed and two-handed swords, as well as spears. Upgrading these weapons unlocks their Weapon Story, treating you to nice bits of flavor text surrounding each weapon.

There’s also the Word system in the game, which acts as upgrades for the different weapons in the game. They’re a rare drop from enemies, and there’s over 100 of these Words to equip. These can boost parameters like Attack and Defense, or can even add status effects or boost EXP gain.
Nier Replicant Ver. 1.2477… releases on PS4 and Xbox one April 22nd in Japan and Asia, with a global and PC release the next day. You can read more about the game’s special editions in our other coverage for the game.

Square Enix announced that Valkyrie Elysium will launch on PC via Steam tomorrow, 12th November.
Players can now begin their adventure on PC as the protagonist Valkyrie and enjoy a free game update, which introduces three pieces of new content. This free update has also been released as a patch update for the PS5 and PS4 versions of the game earlier this month, so console players can also enjoy the new and challenging content.

Console and PC players can both enjoy three pieces of new content introduced in the free update:

Hilde’s Vengeance Mode – After clearing the base game, play exclusively as Hilde in this new game mode and utilize her unique skills to defeat powerful enemies.
Seraphic Gate – After clearing the base game, players can take on these high-difficulty time attack battles. Players can earn unique rewards by clearing all of the stages.
Very Hard / Valkyrie Difficulty Modes – Players looking for even more challenges can
test out two new higher-difficulty modes.

In Valkyrie Elysium, a young Valkyrie is entrusted with the fate of the world by the All-Father, the highest of gods and ruler of all creation, who will face various enemies on her quest and must utilize a variety of weapons, magic and the power of her allies to prevent Ragnarok—the destruction of the world. VALKYRIE ELYSIUM calls on its roots with music from series regular Motoi Sakuraba while driving the series forward in a fresh, new direction with classic combat mechanics, such as finishing moves and combo systems, reimagined for an action RPG.

Brave Frontier: The Last Summoner Is Now Up For Pre-Registration!

If you remember, Brave Frontier: The Last Summoner was soft-launched in several countries last month. The game developed by gumi is based off the Brave Frontier mobile game which is set a thousand years later after the events in Grand Gaia. Now that the game is almost ready for the official launch, pre-registrations are up on their official site and Google Play Store!

As like all mobile RPGs, you will be greeted with the gacha game. There are over hundreds of characters to collect and some of them might just be familiar to you from the Brave Frontier series. Players will need to control a number of characters now though instead of the usual 5. This time, players will be controlling 25 characters during battles. The visuals are in HD 2D design instead of the traditional pixel art – which I miss.

Genshin Impact Merch Guidelines Say You’ll Have To Apply For miHoYo’s Permission

miHoYo put out merch guidelines today, letting fans know they’ll need authorization if they want to sell fan merchandise based on Genshin Impact.

In a post on HoyoLab today, they outlined just exactly this would work. The crux of it revolves around what miHoYo terms as “Light Merchandise”, basically referring to a lot of the merchandise seen around conventions.

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

From their own FAQ, things like fan illustrations and doujinshi, as well as cotton dolls, dango, and cushions all fall under the umbrella of Light Merchandise.
The Basic Summary
If you’re using the likeness of characters from Genshin Impact for your convention merchandise, you’ll need to apply for authorization from miHoYo. At what point you need to declare it is dependent on whether you’re a group (like a doujin circle or a third-party company) or an individual creator.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

For groups, your number is 200. If your circle for example produces 250 Albedo dakimakura covers, you will need to get authorization from miHoYo.
However, if you’re a solo creator, that number becomes 500. If, as a solo artist you were to produce a series of art cards featuring Rosaria, for example, you wouldn’t need to declare them until they break 500 in units produced.
Exceptions
Of course, this doesn’t apply to all merchandise- figures will need to be declared no matter the amount, as long as they’re intended for sale.
Meanwhile written works, such as a collection of fan fiction, are exempt from declaration. Presumably this means any works sans illustration- since they later mention in the FAQ that comics would still need to be declared.
If this were a fanwork, you’d have to apply for authorization to use Venti, Raiden, Paimon, the Travelers and Zhongli.
Applying For Authorization
Here’s where the post gets tricky. There’s several key pieces of information that are important when applying for authorization. The most notable one is the characters you want authorization for- since you have to get authorization for each piece of merchandise, you’ll need to get approval for each character. Rather than being a blanket-miHoYo-approved fan artist, you’ll need to tell miHoYo that you want to publish Rosaria doujinshi and get the appropriate clearance for it.
You’ll also need to give your projected sales numbers- they haven’t explained how this will factor into approval, but it’s a good way to show that you’re serious about getting the approval, and it’s not like they’ll penalize you for having a bad sales day.
A no-brainer, you’ll also need to give your miHoYo account information when applying- this is to make sure that artists creating merchandise are actual fans of the game, not just someone trying to cash in on the Genshin IP.
Authorized Merch Guidelines
Once you’re authorized to make Genshin Impact fan merch, you’ll have to declare that your merchandise is fan-made- basically, don’t go calling it the official Albedo Dakimakura since it’s not. Of course, you’re not allowed to use official game assets (screenshots, key art) for anything that’s for sale, either. There’s a whole category on giving stuff as gifts, which are exempt from the process.
Not Too Uncommon
Fan merchandise guidelines aren’t uncommon- they’re part of the relationship between popular IPs and their growing fan communities, since otherwise having a hall full of people selling fanart could otherwise be seen as failing to defend your trademark.
That being said, not many companies call for straight out declaring your merchandise, which is a bit heavy-handed on miHoYo’s part. Once the convention season goes into full swing, the sheer number of people wanting to sell their fan works based on their favorite characters will likely be hard to rein in.
Usually most companies tend to simply go for content guidelines, simply making sure whatever you produce isn’t something that might misrepresent the company, similar to Studio Khara’s Evangelion guidelines.

Usada Pekora Pop Up Parade Figure Open For Pre Order

Good Smile Company has announced that they will be opening pre orders for the Pop Up Parade Usada Pekora figure, letting you add another figure of the Vtuber to your lineup of merchandise.

The Usada Pekora Pop Up Parade figure is available via the Good Smile website, where you’ll be able to buy it for 4900 Yen (MYR 178.91) ahead of its shipping date in June of 2022.
According to the website the figure stands about 180mm tall inclusive of her ears, which should be about the same size as other Hololive Pop Up Parade figures such as the recently announed Shirakami Fubuki and Ookami Mio Pop Up Parade figures.

Pekora is part of Hololive’s 3rd generation, also dubbed HoloFantasy. Like other members of Holofantasy she’s also received a figma poseable action figure, though it looks like she’s currently the only member with an announced static figure from this line.
While obviously not as detailed as the more premium scale figures such as the Houshou Marine one by MAX Factory, the Pop Up Parade line trades it for a much more affordable price point, especially if you just want a fully-proportioned figure of your favorite Vtuber that doesn’t have visible joints but has a decent paintjob.

YuGiOh Master Duel First Impressions – You Already Know What Time It Is

As a huge proponent of card games and more, I’ve been super jazzed about YuGiOh Master Duel since I first heard about it last year. After all, people have been looking for a way to play a no-frills YuGiOh game online- but the system always seems flawed.

First you had premium titles like Legacy of the Duelist- which had you reliving anime moments and making your own custom deck. But things like progression blocks and the speed at which the base TCG moves got in the way, meaning there weren’t enough people playing, and better cards would release but never see release in the game.

With Master Duel though, we have a near 1:1 experience that basically shadow dropped out of nowhere yesterday. Long story short, I’m incredibly optimistic about the future of this game. More thoughts below, though:
This Is Not Duel Links
One of the most prominent questions I get from the unitiated is how Master Duel will fit against the other YuGiOh game, Duel Links. Presenting, your answer: They’re totally different games.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

Duel Links is targeted more at players who want the anime experience of playing the card game, being more like a TCG with hero mechanics a la Hearthstone and a more condensed ruleset for faster matches.

Meanwhile Master Duel is YuGiOh at its purest- it is unabashedly the YuGiOh TCG, with an incredibly huge library of cards and no concessions made for its digital playstyle.
Unfortunately, this does come with some drawbacks- if you’re new and trying out YuGiOh for the first time, expect a really rough experience duelling online. Since virtually every card is available in the game right now, building a near 1:1 replica of your tournament-worthy deck isn’t that hard, even if you don’t spend any money doing so.
As someone with some experience, I can’t tell you how bad I might feel in the lower ranks against someone trying out the game’s free starter deck against a kitted out Masked Hero deck that’s wiping them out in the first turn.
The Game For The Discerning YuGiOh Fan
In a way I kind of respect Master Duel for having the balls to do this- with Duel Links you could argue a lot of the concessions made were for giving new players a chance to feel powerful too (and naturally, making some money off of it thanks to the gacha).
With Master Duel, it seems like the priority was getting the virtual YuGiOh experience as close to its real counterpart as possible- and rules about things like monetization just weren’t allowed to get in the way of this.

As of this writing the game’s barely been out 24 hours, and despite the fact most of the components of my Masked Hero deck are UR in rarity, I’ve constructed a lot of the core mechanics with some level of consistency to it.
With a lot of card games, the biggest problem is the rate at which you get cards- getting a fully consistent deck just isn’t feasible early on, usually locked behind paywalls or gacha and you’ll usually see people learning to sub in cards to make up for their best-in-slot counterparts.
That’s not so much the case with Master Duel- while cards are locked behind certain banners for gacha reasons, you can also make any card in the game’s extensive library using its duplicate system. Basically, with a single button press, you can scrap all duplicates of your cards, turning them into CP for their rarity. Any card in the game can then be bought using 30 CP of its rarity (so basically every 3 dupes gets you one card).
While it’s obviously gonna be harder for UR-tier cards, the most important thing a TCG player will learn is that it’s not always about the big shinies. Instead you can use the CP system to make your various support cards, while using all your gems to pull on the sets that have the cards you most need.
Some Level Of Complication

That being said, there is some level of obfuscation at work. While there are two banners to pull on, the game has what it calls Secret Packs. Basically, getting key cards will unlock specific banners for the next 24 hours. A great example would be like this:
One of the two banners you currently have contains the cared Elemental HERO Shadow Mist. by pulling her, you get a notification that you’ve unlocked the HERO Secret Packs, which contain way more HERO archetypes, so you’ll wanna pull on those if you’re trying to build the HERO deck of your dreams.
My one gripe is that from a new player experience, this could probably be seen as incredibly confusing. An easy beginner mistake would be to waste all your pulls on banners that don’t have what you might need for a good deck.
As someone who’s paid in social acceptability to collect shiny cardboard for decades, it’s incredibly nice to just have a clear path to the deck you want. Considering a lot of higher-level YuGiOh is just slapping cards together and seeing what’s gonna break the game next, I feel like this system is really helpful for that experience. That said, I do acknowledge it might be harder for old players.
Kusoge But Make It Cards

If you’ve never heard of YuGiOh, prepare for one of the most fun card games out there right now. YuGiOh is to many TCGs what anime fighters like Blazblue or Guilty Gear are to other fighting games. It’s fast, laughably aggressive and between skill levels it can look like you’re playing a totally different game. Cards are designed to break the game’s own rules, such as Amorphactor Pain, The Imagination Dracoverlord that straight-up makes you skip portions of your turn, or Masked HERO Dark Law, who stops your opponent from sending cards to the graveyard by removing them from play instead.
Just like an anime fighter there’s plenty of mechanics at play too- math-heavy Synchro summoning, consistency-rewarding XYZ to even weirder ones like Link Summoning and Pendulums. It can all be overwhelming- so I strongly recommend just picking a monster you find cool, then building your deck around that.
Solo Mode
If you’re not in the business of sending random internet strangers to the Shadow Realm, there’s still things to do in YuGiOh Master Duel. The game boasts a Solo Mode, which separates itself from previous YuGiOh titles by being about the cards, rather than any kind of anime-based campaign. Better yet, these missions give card rewards too, so including structure decks to try out YuGiOh’s multitude of archetypes.

It’s really fun for people who are just massive nerds for card lore, since these explain the history and backgrounds of various YuGiOh cards, such as the Monarchs. On top of that you can also get tutorials for YuGiOh’s multitude of mechanics, such as the math-heavy Synchro Summoning while getting more gems for you to pull for your dream deck.
If you’re looking to spend, you can also spend your currency on things like custom tables for dueling, as well as Duel Mates who are adorable mascots conveniently made of cards banned from ever coming back like Pot of Greed or Sangan.
Monetization
It’s hard to complain about YuGiOh Master Duel being “Pay to Win” when, all things considered, that’s very much the card game itself. All things considered though, Master Duel is very much the most F2P-friendly card game I’ve played so far. At launch there’s a lot of ways to earn gems, since the game has various challenges that all reward gems like destroying monsters or logging in.

Solo mode is also a good source of these, and you can also get rewards by winning competitive duels with the game’s two-battle-pass system. Admittedly this is where I had the least fun- the rewards of the battle pass aren’t that great, and you’d need to climb pretty high just for your cumulative gems to be worth anything. That being said they’re also a great source of CP- so if you’re really desperate to generate that card you want, you’ll need to start grinding that battle pass.
Of course there’s also a premium battle pass, but from a cursory glance it doesn’t look like there’s too much of an upgrade in terms of rewards there, either.
Closing Thoughts

All things considered, I’m really having fun with YuGiOh Master Duel. It’s a great proof of concept that not every game has to cater to newer players, since so much of the design feels like the target demographic just really likes to duel, and doesn’t always need to be motivated by things like a Battle Pass track or gacha pulls.
Overall though, we’ll need to see how well Master Duel is received by the greater public. I can imagine anyone who didn’t spend the past 7 years dueling their friends is going to feel extremely lost, but it’s a side effect of just how 1:1 the game is to its source material. It does help that the game is pretty as heck, with key cards getting live-2d models, and staples like Monster Reborn even having their own effects. Heck, special summoning has its own animations too, so it’s not like the game has no spectacle to it.
I also do wish they had a little bit more anime fan service- simple things like the life point noise would have been great to feature anime sound effects, as are things like the duel field since anyone who’s watched Duelist Kingdom probably wants one of those giant duel fields instead of a crumbling ancient temple.
But even gripes aside, as a hyper-faithful adaptation of a children’s card game YuGiOh Master Duel is an absolute blast. Rather than having to squeeze the game through the mold created by games like Hearthstone, it feels like Master Duel has simply done its own thing, and only taken what it feels best matches its goal to support the game financially.
What can I say man, dueling is fun.

However, there’s still no confirmed date of the official release just yet.

Overhit is a spin-off based on the popular HIT series and the latest turn-based action RPG by both Nexon and NAT Games. Developed using Unreal 4 Engine, the game boasts beautifully designed and 3D-rendered characters voiced by popular anime voice actors such as Kaito Ishikawa, Aya Uchida, Toiyuki Morikawa and more.

After the evil plans of the secretive corporation Conclave to destroy the world are revealed, it’s up to the resistance group called Black Wings to prevent the world from falling into chaos. Players are to form an army out of over 120 unique heroes featuring ninjas, witches and assassins from diverse civilizations across time and space.

It’s indeed proving to be a very popular game so if you love action RPGs, this is your chance. Not to mention there’s an ongoing pre-registration event that’ll last until the official release date. Juicy rewards await those who pre-register!

Hatsune Miku Colorful stage First Impressions: The World is Miku’s

The premier Vocaloid Hatsune Miku has a new gacha game in Hatsune Miku Colorful stage.

An English version of the Rhythm game has now been released in specific regions, as the game has unfortunately been delayed in Southeast Asia. Thankfully, we were still able to play it and we found it to be a fun little rhythm game with a high quality of polish for a mobile game and an interesting idea for a Hatsune Miku story.

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

Getting Started

After putting your name in you’ll be introduced to Miku and the five units that you’ll be following throughout the game. Aesthetically, the game is fantastic. The UI and models are clean and detailed, with a lot of cute expressions for each character. Miku herself is very adorable.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

The home menu is also interesting as it switches background and characters every time you enter. Tapping the characters will start a short dialogue which is fun to read.

Like a lot of gacha games navigating through the menus and figuring out what each currency does is a little confusing when you start out but you do get used to it. From the home menu, you can play the story mode, do a show, roll for gacha or edit your characters.
Story Mode

The story is interesting as there is not one but five. Five units with different members and different themes. Each of them has one thing in common though: they want to start a unit and make it big. Each of them is transported to their ‘Sekai’ and a world where Miku and other vocaloids (wearing unit-appropriate attire) appear in front of them pledging to help them achieve their dreams of finding their ‘song’.
The five units you interact with are:

More More Jump: These guys are your traditional idol group. A young high school girl is inspired by an idol she saw on TV to become an idol herself. She trains every day but has little luck, until her favorite idol ends up transferring to her school, but doesn’t want to be an idol anymore. If you want that lighthearted Love Live type of story, this is the one to start with.

Vivid Bad Squad: A young girl wishes to start a street dance squad and surpass her now-retired father and his old group from his prime. The characters here have a more hard hip-hop flair with an emphasis and mosh-style concerts and making noise. The focus on street performance helps set it apart from the others.

Leo/Need: This is about a group of childhood friends who agreed to start a band as kids but gradually drifted apart over time. Miku helps them slowly come back together and form that band. The story for this one is a slower, more personal drama.

Nightcord at 25:00: This one is really interesting. The main character is a neet that stays inside due to her past trauma but believes it’s her mission to compose songs. She forms a group of underground musicians to make anonymous music videos online over a social chat called Nightcore. A very goth-looking Miku helps them reveal their identities to each other and get over their different traumatic issues.
This is my favorite unit if only for Goth Miku, Goth Miku is currently the best thing in this game.
She’s the best

Wonderlands x Showtime: A young man who dreams of being a star after seeing a perfect live performance, now works part-time at an amusement park with an old theater. The theater is deserted but wishing to pursue his dreams, he and his group decide to restore the Wonder Stage to its former glory. The members of this group are downright wacky, one of them has a robot mascot that becomes part of the unit, a true group of misfits coming together.
I’m impressed with how different these five groups are with different tones and stories that all have a unique take on Jpop music. Doing the next chapter for each requires ranking them up through shows which encourages you to play through the game to see the next part unfold.

One small issue I have is that each of the vocaloids is fully voiced by their original software. Miku and the Kagamine Twins sound fine however Meiko, Kaito, and Luka sound very uncanny with how robotic their voices are. You can tell their software was made for singing, and not regular dialogue so they end up sounding like a  Japanese Microsoft Sam.
Putting on a Show

Shows are the main mode of the game. You select your characters, a song, and perform. It functions a lot like Taptap Revenge (if anyone remembers that). Bars come toward the screen in which you have to tap, swipe or hold in time with the music. If funs and certainly challenging yet like most good rhythm games, when you get into the groove it feels like pure fire.
Playing the modes will level up your characters and help you level in rank overall. Each group will also gain experience based on how many of their members were on your show roster.

The initial song selection has a good range of 28 songs. Some Miku fan-favorite songs like ‘The World is Mine’ or ‘Senbonzakura’ don’t make an appearance though, but I suppose that’s what the updates are for.
The Gacha

So far, the gacha for the game has been fairly generous thanks to all the launch presents. The game does give you the option to pay for batteries which net you more exp during a show. This, in turn, helps speed up the leveling of your characters and rank, which in turn lets you play story chapters faster. It’s not necessary to progress but it can prey on more impatient gamers so I’d suggest trying to take your time with the game.
The actual gacha rolls will net you new characters or costumes. Characters that have more stars are rarer. The game also has a specific gacha that you need to specifically pay money to roll, which is annoying but the content doesn’t seem necessary.
Ultimately, you don’t seem to need to pay for anything to enjoy the game. It is primarily a single-player game so there is no pay to win.
Overall

Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage has a lot going it. The graphics are bright and crisp and the gameplay loop is familiar bit addicting and energized.
The story also has potential as I like the idea of the different units united by Miku and their love of various kinds of music and entertainment. If it can just get a few more songs on the playlist, it should be all set to be a good rhythm starring a beloved character.
Hatsune Miku Colorful Stage is available for mobile devices in specific regions.

Shin Ultraman Release Date Announced

Tsuburaya has announced the new release date for Shin Ultraman , the cinematic adaptation of their iconic tokusatsu hero.

In a new short trailer, they announced that Shin Ultraman would have a May 13th, 2022 release date, though no other information was given regarding the upcoming movie.

Shin Ultraman has been a project wrapped in secrecy- we’ve barely seen any footage of it, despite the fact it was supposed to be released this year.
Unfortunately, the movie had to be delayed due to the ongoing COVID pandemic, though enough of the movie had been finished that director Hideaki Anno could also start work on Shin Kamen Rider, his next tokusatsu love letter movie.

We did get a better look at Ultraman’s signature Spacium Beam, where he does the now-iconic pose. It looks like the movie will be going for a much more traditional special effects style, instead of having the beam be covered in high end special effects as a destructive beam of energy shoots out of Ultraman’s arm.
Hideaki Anno is best known as the visionary creator of Neon Genesis Evangelion, one of the most present anime ever made. In recent years he’s also been doing more live action movies, having first made the critically beloved Shin Godzilla, before being announced to be working on Shin Ultraman and Shin Kamen Rider.

Sword Art Online (SAO) collaborations with Persona 5 Royal!

Sword Art Online – henceforth referred to as SAO – will have collaborations with Persona 5 Royal! The collaboration events will be in SAO Memory Defrag, and SAO Integral Factor. It would be reasonable to expect some kind of story scenario involving the SAO cast and the Persona 5 cast in these collaborations, and playable guest characters.

For now, the only confirmed thing is that yes, these collabs are happening. Considering it’s Royal, new character Kasumi Yoshizawa could be making an appearance too. More information about the nature of these collabs will be available February 2020. You can check out the pretty cool cut in with Kirito and Joker on the official website.

Going by typical trends, it’s likely the Japanese servers will have the events first before the English ones. Another Eden did launch their own Persona 5 Royal collab simultaneously, so we’ll have to see what the publisher decides.
In the mean time, Persona 5 Royal will be launching 31 March outside of Japan, while on the console side of SAO, Alicization Lycoris releases 22 May. There is also Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers which releases 20 February in Japan, with a western release date still unknown.

The anime will be produced by OLM Studio, whose credits include the 1997 Pokemon anime, as well as the 1997 adaptation of the legendary manga Berserk. Kaguya-Sama and Paimon VA Aoi Koga will also be voicing the titular Shouko Komi.
We were also treated to official art of three of the series main cast- protagonists Shouko Komi and Hitohito Tadano, as well as their friend Najimi Osana. Official key art was also released, showing more of the anime’s large roster of charactersin the background.

Considering how Komi San’s chapters are much shorter than your average manga, it’s not currently known how far the anime intends to adapt, or if any parts of the manga will be skipped. The manga recently passed 300 chapters, with some pretty big developments anyone interested in might want to avoid for the sake of spoilers.
Komi San Can’t Communicate is a manga written and illustrated by Tomohito Oda, and revolves around Shouko Komi – a shy high schooler who everyone projects weird fantasies and expectations to. She meeds Hitohito Tadano, who offers to help her reach her goal- overcoming her shyness and making 100 friends. Most of the chapters are one-off stories, although occasionally some of them end up being multi-parters.
The manga has also been released in volumes, collecting the various chapters along with official English translations.
