Attack on Titan Brave Order gets February 2022 release window

Attack on Titan Brave Order has at last received a release window, set for February 2022. To be clear, this release window for Attack on Titan Brave Order is for Japan, and yes, there is no specific date given.

The series remains as popular as ever as both Crunchyroll and Funimation collapsed under the number of people trying to watch episodes of the final season of the anime. Pre-registrations remain open, expanding to 500,000 users offering more premium currency for the gacha. The cumulative total will be 20 rolls worth for all players.

The game features real time combat, for up to four players presumably depending on the game mode. Confront the Titans with the Survey Corps in a game that will see you ‘relive’ the story of the original with full voice. There are some idle mechanics for the more casual players as well. There will be some dorm system which you can customize and house the various corps members.
From the teaser video, the game will be using 3D chibi models. Game developer Enish’s official Youtube channel has been hard at work releasing various promotional clips of the characters you can find in the game and how their motions appear, so do check them out.

Hololive Collab Coming To D4DJ EN With 4 New Cards

It looks like D4DJ EN players will finally get to play the Hololive collab event, which features new cards themed around Vtubers added to the game.

In a new post by the D4DJ official Facebook page, they teased the coming collaboration with a teaser image of one of the cards- which anyone who’s followed the Hololive D4DJ collab would know is the Miyu/Suisei card.

UPDATE: The event has been officially announced, and will release on September 28th.
It’s not a total retool of the JP campaign, however. The Facebook page also posted the new skin for the energy drinks in the game- seemingly based off of Hololive EN’s Ina.

From the JP collaboration, we know that the Hololive D4DJ EN event will be centered around Lyrical Lily, with each of the members being paired up with a different Vtuber.

Of course, this is just taking from what we know about the previous release. There’s always a chance that Bushiroad might try something new, especially given the existence of Hololive EN.
It’s no surprise that D4DJ is getting a collab with Hololive- Hololive has an infamously good relationship with Bushiroad, the game’s publisher, to the point that both Aqua and Fubuki are also going to be part of the BanG Dream collab that was recently announced.
Fans were worried however that this would be a missed collab, considering the split between EN and JP servers for D4DJ was due to music licensing issues.

Among Us Roadmap revealed – new mode, roles and map incoming

Earlier today, Among Us developer Innersloth revealed a roadmap for the game during the Summer Game Fest: Kickoff live stream.

You can watch the video on Innersloth’s YouTube channel here:

Kicking off these new updates in no particular order is the Hide & Seek mode. It seems to be exactly as you’d expect, with the Imposter (who has low visibility) hunting down the Crewmates who try their best to hide. Hide & Seek is a community mod, so it is nice to see Innersloth taking popular mods and implementing them as part of the core game.
Similarly, there will also be new roles such as Sheriff and Scientist, another case of community mods that will be part of the game. For those who are unfamiliar, the Sheriff can even kill Imposters! However, players will have to wait and see how these roles will be playable in the game.

In addition, we also had a look at new colors and skins. The video teased colors and skins such as coral, tan, rose, banana, gray. Players can also expect new visor cosmetics.
Furthermore, achievements will also be part of the game in the future. Lastly, a new map was also teased. Note that these roadmap updates revealed in the video will be implemented into Among Us in no particular order.

Shin Megami Tensei V Review – Ascending to Godhood

After four years of anticipated development, Shin Megami Tensei V has finally been released for Nintendo Switch and after going through the game for the past week, it certainly was worth it.

God is Dead. Lucifer killed him. You, a very pretty high school boy who along with your two friends, ends up transported to a post-apocalyptic Tokyo overrun by demons known as the Netherworld or the Da’at. From here you end up fusing with an amnesiac god named Aogami to become a Nahobino, a being who is neither human nor demon but something more. The fate of the world is now in your hands.

Shin Megami Tensei V has reached a new pinnacle within the series, with a beautifully haunting world and highly in-depth gameplay that has been made more accessible while still maintaining the level of challenge that the series is known for. It has a couple of fusion accidents here and there but they’re certainly not enough to undo this game’s achievements. Shin Megami Tensei V is a stunning new entry in the series and very much one of the best RPGs of the year.

The game takes no time getting you to the Da’at and it is certainly worth exploring. The apocalypse is destitute yet beautiful with a variety of ambient semi-open areas to explore. The desolate large maps add a new level of immersion with the vast amount you can explore, climbing over toppled trains and run-down buildings, giving a great sense of the run-down world around you.
It helps that you have a number of collectibles spread across each map including items, demon essences, and mimans to give you glories to unlock new miracles. Often you’ll see them on a ledge or in a far-off building just out of reach, which gives you even more incentive to find a way to get to them.
Hell on Earth

This is all enhanced by the demons. For the first time in the series, demons appear in the overworld and it truly makes this dying Tokyo feel alive. They roam through the streets, gutter strange incomprehensible sounds and they are all to scale. One of my favorite moments in the game was simply titled up the camera up and seeing the angels and demons dueling above me. It’s mesmerizing and creates the sense that this world is really just so much bigger than you can possibly fathom.
The game does however have the occasional frame rate hiccup. Demons further in the background especially can’t look a little janky but it in no way breaks the game and honestly I got used to it to the point that I barely noticed it.

Shin Megami Tensei V brings back the series staple press turn battle system. This means that if you hit an opponent with a weakness or critical hit, you get an extra turn, if the attack is blocked in any way, you lose turns. Of course, the enemies can do the same. The system adds a real sense of tension you don’t get in many other turn-based RPGs. You can be doing great, only for one opponent to score a critical hit and suddenly, they’ve got three more turns and two of your party members have died.
Yes, it is hard and it can be frustrating but this also makes SMTV so thrilling. It truly feels like every decision counts and it feels so satisfying when you eventually surpass that boss that’s been giving you hell. The game never feels unfair though. It doesn’t expect you to grind and muscle your way through bosses, it wants you to play smarter. It expects you to pay attention to the mechanics and learn to use them effectively.
Behold My Demons

As previously mentioned the demons are great. Their models are highly detailed and combined with some of their hilarious negotiations really make you want to go out and collect as many of them as you can.
Negotiations are your way of getting demons. You have to answer their questions and give them their requested items. While this process is still randomized, it has been made easier. It now only takes one or two questions to get to the negotiation and they now won’t run off with your items if they don’t wanna join you. Another cool thing is that if you have no stock for a new demon or aren’t at the right level, you can come back and ask them again and they’ll join you.
The World of Shadows

You can of course also get demons from the World of Shadows where you fuse two of them together to create a new deity. This can get addicting as you find a new cooler-looking demon to fuse together. I got to a point where I was grinding levels not to beat a boss but because I wanted to get that one demon I was a level too low to fuse.
The World of Shadows also presents also allows you to further enhance the game in form of miracles and essences. Miracles are exchanged for the glory you get from mimans. These act like the apps from SMTIV in that you can exchange them for passive buffs like a hire demon stock or raising your affinity.
Essences on the other hand will give you and your demons the skills of other demons. This creates an enormous among of potential for customization. Want a Jack Frost with fire resist? Now it’s possible. For the more hardcore fans, you can now finely craft your own specialized demons which only adds to the addictive nature of demon fusion.
The Story

Like all SMT games, the plot of SMTV is a bit unorthodox, with less of a focus on character development and more on worldbuilding, philosophy, and the mythology of the various gods and demons. In that vein, it’s pretty interesting. You get a really good sense of the Da’at from speaking with the demons and going on various sidequests. These range from simple fetch quests to opposing demons asking you to kill their rival. It gives you a great sense of the inhabitants of the Netherworld and how they view the different factions and the humans that used to live there.
I also like the idea of a safe, normal Tokyo set against the bleak Apolcalytic one. The idea of living your daily life knowing the end is around the corner is a pretty haunting idea.
The Sons of Man

Another strength of the game for long-time fans would be how it attempts to subvert the traditional SMT alignment tropes. This was the first mainline game since Nocturne where I honestly couldn’t tell which alignment the characters would go. For example, Ichiro Dazai is a delinquent class clown from a troubled household, who talks about wanting power. This all sounds chaotic but he specifically wants that power to protect others, which is very law. In general, both alignments are presented in a bit more nuanced, less extreme light which gives more room to really think about their merits without just defaulting to neutral.
Unfortunately, the payoff for these interesting ideas and characters doesn’t feel very satisfying. Outside of Dazai and Aogami, most of the characters don’t really get enough screen time to truly understand their motives or want to support their cause. One character outright just drops out of the plot halfway through the game and only appears in a side quest.
It feels like they wrote something similar to SMTIV’s more detailed plot but executed it more akin to SMT III Nocturne’s more minimalist plot. It doesn’t really work though. Nocturne’s plot is good partially because its premise is very simple and its characters very straightforward. That doesn’t mean bad mind you, however, I feel SMTV’s more complex concepts needed something more akin to IV with a more conventional plot and character motivation laced more frequently throughout the journey. It’s a bit of a shame as I really liked the initial premise and characters, I just wish we got to see more of them.
The Goddess Reborn

Shin Megami Tensei V is still one of the best games RPGs I’ve played on the Switch and from such as prolific series, I’d dare say it is one of the best in the Megami Tensei franchise. Its world is beautifully desolate, the demons never felt more alive and the high amount of customization means you’ll be fusing for hours.
It’s not a game for everyone, the characters are a little weak and the challenge can be too much but for fans of the series, that’s part of the fun. I find it admirable that SMTV has stayed so true to its roots while still adapting for modern audiences. It’s a brutal niche game that’s not afraid to hit hard but still gives you plenty of time to get back up and try again. Its themes and story are unorthodox, but for those that are willing to dive into them, you can find yourself learning and looking at mythology, philosophy, and religion in ways you never thought you would. It wants you to put in the work but will handsomely reward you in return.
Shin Megami Tensei V may not have Persona’s heart, but it has Megaten’s Soul.

Wild Hearts April Update Adds Spinning Tops and Giant Foxes

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

Wild Hearts first April post-launch content update arrives on the 6th and brings with it a new Fusion Karakuri and a new species of Kemeno – Murakumo.

The new Kemeno is described as:

Strange winds swirl the sakura blossoms, which fail to fall even long after spring has passed. When rumors spread of this eerie sight, parents warn their children to keep their distance. Knowing that should you wander too close, the vulpine fiend appears and spirits you away. For it is no mere wind; it is the Murakumo.
This Kemono’s plethora of petal-manipulating attacks are a real menace. It courses through the air on platforms made of sakura blossoms. Which, in turn, makes counterattacking tricky. When enraged, the vulpine beast unleashes a thunderous tornado that could easily leave you unconscious. Hunters would be wise to employ a Spinning Top Karakuri to fight against the beast.

A New Karakuri called the Spinning Top is also added to the game which has the potential to stagger Kemeno if it has enough speed and power when it connects.
The free update also allows players to create new weapons and armor from Murakumo materials while also adding in a new Limit Break system for players to enhance any piece of gear using Core Orbs. Core Orbs can be obtained by successfully hunting Volatile Kimeno.
Players can also look forward to another content update later this month, which will introduce a new Deeply Volatile Kemono, Deathhaze Gloombeak, along with the new Serial Hunts special quest and more.
You may find further information regarding the update and more at their official website.

[TGS 2022] Soulstice Preview – Soulstice Has That Devil May Cry Sauce I’ve So Desperately Needed

Over at Tokyo Game Show 2022, we got to try out a preview of developer’s Reply Game Studios’ action RPG title Soulstice and here are our thoughts on it.

Coming straight out the window, admittedly it’s hard to see Soulstice without seeing its inspirations. Reply Game Studios has been very open that they’re fans of the late Kentaro Miura’s dark fantasy title – Berserk, and it shows. You’re able to see a lot of inspirations with Soulstice and Berserk, most notably with the character design of the main heroine – Briar.

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

From the features like having only one good eye, the black heavy suit of armour, the greatsword. But being a fan of Berserk myself, it’s always such a pleasure to see how big of an influence that Berserk is able to reach. With that being said, I absolutely love the character design for Briar.
One of the advantages of being able to actually play Soulstice here at TGS 2022 is the chance to see it for more of what it truly is, and that is a pretty stellar action RPG title, even far outclassing some of the more robust-of-wallet titles out there.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves

Tweet to @GamerBraves

As I played through the game’s very first level, there were a few obstacles that had been standing in my way, one of which was the fact that the game’s demo text were all in Japanese. Despite being a huge weeb, I unfortunately still don’t understand a lick of Japanese. The other obstacle was the complications of being at a loud event as well as not being able to hear and let alone understand my demo attendant. As a result, there are some systems where I can’t answer to what they actually do.
From my observations playing through the preview for Soulstice, I was able to give myself a blue aura that seems to float my character up higher a little, though that might have been just a placebo on my end. Meanwhile there was also a  red aura too but the effects of that still remains a mystery to me.
Although, what I was familiar with would be the sword combat that Briar mains. She comes with a pretty robust moveset the features both light and heavy attacks as well as a mechanic where you can cancel your light attack into a heavy attack.
Unlike many action games, it looks like Reply Game Studios have really put in the thought and care into the combat mechanics to make it more than just your average 3 hit combo. Going more into Briar having a robust moveset, she has a launcher, air juggle, a stinger as well as a jump cancel which all makes for a combat system that makes you want to show off and not just to get to the end of the level.
It’s here that Soulstice really shines, from the preview, while none of its ideas are inherently new, it’s made sure to base its identity on good source materials. While the inputs are pretty similar to Devil May Cry, it’s fine because Devil May Cry is also one of the greatest action games that’s ever been made. Soulstice lifted the mechanics with enough care that the homage feels genuine and more importantly, feel fun for the player.
It’s worth noting that the clear emphasis here that Reply Game Studios chose something good, not popular. Games often tend to cannibalize each other all the time: one of the examples being the amount of Genshin and Breath of the Wild clones have shown up for your proof. Despite the Devil May Cry franchise being a financial success for Capcom, its lack of imitators is simply because the complexity is its identity – and Soulstice having the audacity to not only pay homage to that but to do it well is a great sign that Reply Games Studio knows their stuff.
You’re able to feel it in the first few swings of Briar’s sword, you get more hints of it when it suspiciously glimmers at the end of certain strings. Once you start doing launchers into air combos, you begin to suspect and once you jump off of enemies in the air to keep the juggle going, you fully realise: this game has the sauce.
Soulstice releases on 20th September for PC , Xbox Series X and Series S, PlayStation 5 and I for one cannot wait to play this game and sink my teeth into it.

A key product in the fashion lineup is the new Shark full-zip hoodie that transforms fans into the iconic shark head while also featuring BAPE’s WGM (World Gone Mad) motif. The Quartz version also has plush kitty ears which is an ode to the Kraken Kitties. Both hoodies also feature an intricate ‘A Gaming Ape’ embroidery patch.

Style savvy fans can pair the tops with the shorts available from the collection. The black basketball shorts have the shark graphic print, while the Quartz shorts have A Gaming Ape embroidery patch, and both include the collaborative camo print design.
The collection also includes a snapback cap with A Gaming Ape embroidery on the front, and the collaborative camo print under the brim.

Running In The 80s – Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Interview With Dan Vondrak And Kevin Drew

After a good wait, we’re finally at the release for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Ahead of the game’s release, we got to speak to Dan Vondrak, Creative Director at Raven Software as well as Kevin Drew, Expert Game Designer at Treyarch about their thoughts on the shooter.

The two had a lot to say about the game, talking about the strength of its setting- during the Cold War of the 80s. While Dan spoke a lot about the game’s main campaign, Kevin says even the game’s Zombies mode wasn’t immune to the effects of an 80s setting.

Cracking Open A Cold War
Rather than taking place in a near-future scenario, the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War takes place in the past during the Cold War era. Despite its name, the actual Cold War wasn’t actually fought using soldiers or tanks. Given the Call of Duty series’ focus on military shooting, it’s an interesting choice of setting.
“The Cold War was a perfect thing for us”, Dan says. “We love the Cold War for a few reasons, it was really that intrigue that the history of the Cold War brings, there’s so many stories and so many conspiracies that involve the Cold War. We went through recently declassified documents, you can dig into all kind of history, and it’s a real life story that really allowed us to inspire this kind of fictional tales we wrote”.

“We also love the very-very first Black Ops was 1960s Cold War and had that deniable operations, right, those mission, the secret ones that the government doesn’t want you to know about”. He adds. “We have this idea, there were conspiracy going on, and we love the idea of growing back the same feeling we all had when we played Black Ops 1. And now setting it in the 1980’s, with the war through the life of characters like Raegan and even Gorbachev in one of the Russian levels as well. So it mirrored a little bit of what’s going on today, with everyone talking about Cold War 2.0 it just really an immersive way for us to kind of tell the story, with the twisting turns it brought with it”.

Respecting Black Ops Lore
As big fans of the original Black Ops, Dan says writing Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War the way they did was a great way to add to the Black Ops lore. Focusing on the Cold War gave the team an opportunity to tell a story that would tie in to the original Black Ops, taking place not too long after it. Rather than have it merely be a coincidence, Dan says they took full advantage of these converging timelines.
“One of the really important things that we want to respect was all the lore and the narrative of the Black Ops series has already brought for the Black Ops fans, Call of Duty fans, we didn’t wanna rewrite the history, so Cold War is set right after Black Ops”, he says.  “It was the direct sequel for Black Ops 1, and a big choke between Black Ops 1 and 2. So what we did, set it in the 80’s, then we get Mason back, woods, Hudson back, and what we want to do is tell a story with a new character, as well as those fans favorites. And there’s different tie-ins that we make to the Black Ops 1 story”,
“I don’t wanna release the details before you play the game , but it was really all about being a direct sequel, to make sure of all fans can go back and revisit these iconic characters and then new fans can experience them for the first time”

Dan clearly has a lot of respect for the original Black Ops, as he says working Cold War’s story into the narrative of the Black Ops universe was a big deal for him. However, he says the team also had to consider that not everyone picking up Cold War might be Black Ops loremasters.
“[We had to] respect the Black Ops story that happened, and bring back the iconic characters like Mason, Woods, and Hudson. And for us, what we want to do was not let our love of the game makes that new people couldn’t experience this new story”, he says.  “So we start of with fresh, brand new bad guy, Perseus, and we really want to just start the game on so anybody that’s never play the B.O, can focus on the idea that ‘wow, there’s this imminent threat that might upset the balance in the Cold War’ “.
“And then, as the story progresses is start to hear from Woods, and from Mason, and you start to understand how this can tie back to the events that happen in Black Ops 1, but you didn’t need to play Black Ops 1 at first. And then of course, we loved flashing back to Vietnam, cause now only gives the war setting kind of give that whole story this ‘decades in the making’ feelings. Events from 60’s tie in with the events of 1981”.

Easter Eggs For Fans
That being said, it’s not like there aren’t ways to prime yourself for the story of Black Ops Cold War. Part of the game’s marketing was an Augmented Reality game. While following through with the ARG didn’t bring any physical or in-game rewards, Dan says it was a good tone-setter to get into the game’s deniable operations mood.
We had the alternate reality game going, which was awesome and so we supplied a lot information so that people could unlock bits and pieces of the story”, he said.
“If there anyone who play the ARG , anyone that was involved with that, they’re gonna be primed for the campaign. You’re gonna get in there, you’re gonna recognize name, some pictures or some locations so anyone that played that, it becomes like a little bit of narrative primer “.
Harking back to their love for the original Black Ops, Dan also says they’d hidden various easter eggs in the campaign for lovers of the original Black Ops.
“Of course when it comes to Black Ops 1, we created a lot of different homages to Black Ops 1. It’s gonna be a moment in the campaign were fans from the original Black Ops , they’re gonna recognize how we tied back the original game”, he says.

Apolitical Intrigue
Despite all this, the team behind Cold War have come under fire for saying their game wouldn’t be “political”. After all, the Cold War was an inherently political conflict, the idea that they’d want to cash in on the setting and still claim they were being apolitical confused many fans. However, Dan says that it’s more about appreciating the setting rather than trying to say anything definitive about the era and its turmoils.
“First of all, we are not trying to make any political statement with the game, its absolutely a fictional piece of entertainment”, says Dan. “But, one of the things that you have to do if you gonna be is historically based game be authentic to that era so we had to include the iconic characters, iconic real people, or iconic real events like the Iran Hostage Crisis, like Ronald Raegan, like Gorbachev”.
“It was really important first to have a really kind of true fictional stakes those tent poles that we can wrap this fictional narrative around. So I think as soon you get into game, you gonna start into get mind bending, the paranoia, the shadowy conspiracy world, and pretty soon you’ll realize you’re on a fictional roller coaster ride. But it intersects with real history from time to time”, he adds.

Night Of The Living Dead
It’s not all Cold War paranoia though. Returning to the Black Ops series would be the famous Call of Duty Zombies mode, first popularized in World At War. It’s got several new features added to it, which Kevin Drew was happy to talk about.
According to Kevin, a lot of thought went into the Zombies story too, making full use of the overall game’s 80s backdrop and adding to the Zombies deep lore.
“So we took advantage of the Cold War backdrop. We finished our Zombies storyline in the last 10 years. And then there’s Black Ops 4, we saw this is the opportunity to kind of button that up and start a new story that take places in the same universe”, he says. “It’s in the Cold War in the 80’s as the backdrop for that, so its thematically dealing with it in operation, and there’s an arms race as the zombies start to appear again in where it all began, which is Nacht der Untoten bunker in World War 2”.
“And here we are 30 years later, we’re sending in a military operation, a squad from a group called Requiem, which is manage by a familiar face from the Black Ops campaign, Gregory Weaver. You’re going in there as a military unit, to uncover and figure out what’s cause this incident that has unleashed the undead”

Just Let Me Kill Some Zombies
The Zombies mode got a huge boost with the Zombies Onslaught, a much faster-paced gametype. Unlike the recent Zombies games which had become increasingly objective-based, Kevin says Onslaught was for those who just liked fending off hordes of the walking dead.
“Once we saw [Onslaught], we saw it was kind of an obvious fun new mode to try. We have all these  great MP (multiplayer) maps, and there’s an opportunity, like, ‘why don’t we just put zombies in those MP maps?’ “, he said. “And what we ended up with was a very fun, kind of simplified version of normal zombies, a lot more frantic , and it’s become very hard and fast. Turns out to be fun, in that way”.
“It really kind of trims a lot of the systems out and it’s just about killing zombies and being skillful, and you acquire new weapons. And moving around in side those spaces and defeating bosses and try to do the best you can to survive the longest”, he says. “So it’s hard, very similar to the original Zombies map from World At War, so I think players who were looking for that very simplified experience will find it fulfilling there and have a lot of fun”.

From the talk, it’s pretty clear that the Black Ops series is in good hands with Raven Software and Treyarch Studios. The Black Ops series is one of the most beloved sub-franchises in Call of Duty, and it looks like Cold War will definitely get players right into the thick of conspiracy zeitgeist.
Thanks to Dan and Kevin for taking the time to answer our questions, and also thanks to Activision for the opportunity. Whether it’s killing zombies or dealing with the Cold War, there’s something for everyone in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War which launches today.
While the interview didn’t touch on the game’s multiplayer, you can always read our thoughts on that from when we tried the game’s multiplayer beta.

This new version adds 26 minutes of new material to the movie which further irons out the plot as well as higher quality visuals.
The Netflix press release we were sent only lists the title as ‘Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children’ which implies it’s the original but it’s always possible that it could actually be the complete version. I suppose we’ll find out in July.

A description for Gravitar: Recharged as follows via its store page:
A lone pilot, far from home, must navigate an abstract universe of uncharted planets and space stations guarded by mysterious, hostile aliens in Gravitar: Recharged. You must complete missions in each solar system, navigating a variety of challenging environments, each with varying levels of gravity that will test your skills as a pilot. Complete each mission within a solar system and you will be transported to the next through a massive black hole. Will you ever make it home?

With Gravitar: Recharged Atari revisits an incredibly ambitious arcade title. The 1982 original took the rotate, thrust and fire mechanics of Asteroids and Space Duel, combined them with the gravity of Lunar Lander, and added exploration and elements of cave flying. The result was an extremely challenging arcade game that was eventually ported to the Atari 2600. The game, which did not achieve broad commercial success, has become a cult classic among Atari enthusiasts.
The visual aesthetic of Gravitar: Recharged takes the Recharged series in a new direction, with expansive environments rendered in painterly style and pastel tones. In the capable hands of industry-veteran composer Megan McDuffee, the original soundtrack complements the art style with soothing, atmospheric tracks that evoke a sense of wonder.
Key Features:
– Arcade mode: fly from planet to planet and progress through ever-more-challenging solar systems in a quest to get home.
– Missions: 24 taxing challenges with global leaderboards.
– Power-Ups: Pick-up power-ups with your tractor beam, including homing missiles and EMP disruptors
– Co-op: Play with a partner in each game mode, which connects two players on a tether, requiring a significant level of coordination.
– Get in the Groove: Megan McDuffee continues to deliver with an ambient score that transports you into the depths of the unknown.

Final Fantasy XVI Shows Off Gameplay For All The Eikons And Their Skills

Today’s State of Play  livestream showed 20 minutes of new footage for Final Fantasy XVI, including more gameplay for the various Eikons and their abilities available in the game.

This follows the initial gameplay hands on from February of this year where media were invited to try out a demo build of the game.

While they didn’t go into the specifics of how each Archon would function, there were more than enough clues for the remaining Eikon Abilities we hadn’t seen- Shiva and Ramuh .
It should be noted that as the Dominant of Ifrit, Clive doesn’t have an Ifrit style, so to speak- Ifrit’s skills are baked into Clive’s regular moveset, and his skill tree reflects as much.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

Here’s a brief overview of the Eikon abilities in Final Fantasy XVI
Phoenix (Phoenix Shift)

This allows Clive to teleport towards his target, following up with either magic or a melee attack. He also has various wing-themed cooldown skills, including one for breaking guards.
Garuda (Deadly Embrace)

Similar to Nero’s Snatch in the Devil May Cry series, this allows Clive to pull enemies to him, or himself to them if they’re big enough. cooldown skills include Gouge and Wicked Wheel, which are all about mashing out multi-hit attacks.
Titan (Titanic Block)

This is a parry move, allowing you to block attacks and follow them up. Note that you will need to parry a whole enemy combo to get a counterattack window, and it can also be held as a regular block. Titan’s cooldown skills include Upheaval and Windup, and are all powerful blows.
Shiva (Cold Snap)

Moving opposite to Phoenix Shift, Cold Snap is a dash that moves you through crowds of enemies, freezing them in place.  Eikonic Skills include Rime, Mesmerize and Ice Age, which focus on doing big damage to crowds of enemies. Mesmerize allows you to pull multiple targets in.
Ramuh (Blind Justice)

Activating Blind Justice puts Clive in a lock-on mode, where he can mark targets in the crosshair that shows up on screen. Releasing this will allow him to fire a barrage of lightning, which also marks enemies and does additional damage if you continue to attack them. Ramuh’s cooldown skills include Pile Driver, which does a single AoE hit, as well as Thundercloud, which juggles them in the air.
Odin (Arm of Darkness)

Switches Clive’s weapons to Odin’s swords, replacing his normal attack with a faster, multi-hitting one. Each hit fills up the Zantetsuken meter, which can be cashed out by holding the melee attack button. We were also shown new cooldown skills Gungnir and Heaven’s Cloud, which are all different multi-hitting attacks made while standing still (Gungnir) or moving through enemies (Heaven’s Cloud).
Bahamut (Wings of Light)

Puts Clive into a state where he gains the ability to hover around and dodge, while also casting ranged magic. Certain actions fill up the Megaflare bar, which can be cashed out by holding the Eikonic Ability button again. New Cooldown Skills shown include Satellite, which creates two flying objects to shoot enemies with and Gigaflare, which fires a huge beam.
Today’s overview of Final Fantasy XVI included a lot more than the Eikons, and showed many features that were previously discussed such as the new hub as well as training modes and side quests.
Final Fantasy XVI releases on June 22nd, 2023 for PS5.

China Wants More Games With A “Positive Energy” For Minors

The Chinese government is looking to have more games published in China with a positive energy to them, as opposed to the negative influence of most modern games by their standards.

According to Chinese news portal 163.com, the Publishing Bureau of Propaganda says they want to implement an Online Game Positive Energy Leading Plan for minors in China, with several key features to protect them from video game addiction.

In the site’s own words, the initiative looks to promote games that “inherit excellent Chinese traditional culture, revolutionary culture, advanced socialist culture, promote core socialist values, and deepen education on socialism with Chinese characteristics and the Chinese dream. Socialism and the Chinese dream publicity and education, and other aspects of publishing excellence, give full play to the important role of excellent publications in cultivating the new man of the times to assume the role of national rejuvenation”.
It also looks like they’ve proposed online services to adopt “teenage mode”- a setting with stricter control options for minors to not get addicted to online services.

The Chinese government has been exerting more control over games in the past year, following an infamous speech targeting what they deemed to be harmful culture
Not a lot of this information should be surprising to anyone following the ongoing situation with the Chinese Government, looking to exert more control over games in the country by raising a moral panic over their effect on minors.
While some of these include reasonable opinions like the exposure of minors to predatory monetization, it does include more problematic opinions such as stricter content censorship, including a ban on “feminine” men.
It’s also seen severe consequences in the region, as the Chinese government has frozen license approvals for new games- essentially meaning game studios haven’t been able to make any money since the government won’t let them release the games they’ve been working on in the country.

v177 Patch Update

People who play KMS (Korea Maple Story) will be familiar with most of the patch; but there will be one feature that has yet to make a KMS appearance. Majority of the patch will only be available for a limited period of time, from 27 June 2018 till 7 August 2018.
Captain Vaga is a side-scrolling shooter that has already made its debut in CMS (Chinese Maple Story) but not in KMS. It will become a permanent inclusion in MapleStorySEA from 18 July 2018 onwards. Players will get to play as another character, Dust who lives on another planet. His job is to protect the core from alien enemies. The higher the level of the player, the more guns they will get to unlock for Dust. Unlike MapleStorySEA’s basic keys, players will be made to use the gaming standard WASD keys to move. The game is said to be unlike MapleStory’s regular gameplay, so please get hyped up for this new addition!

In conjunction with the space theme of the 13th Anniversary, players will be able to travel to a number of new planets in MapleStory. Each planet will have special mini games and special benefits. These benefits can come in the form of Stardust points, 100 Stardust points will automatically be converted into 1 Galaxy Star. Players can use these Galaxy Stars to purchase items in the special 13th Anniversary Galaxy Star Shop.
There will be a bunch of events lined up for the players as well. Pink Bean Job will be reopened during this period as well, for players to have a different experience and play as the loveable monster! Although the Pink Bean job is only temporary, the rewards gained from playing Pink Bean can be transferred to other characters at the end of its stint. Maple M will also have a short collaboration (27 June 2018 to 25 July 2018) with MapleStorySEA. Players who login daily for 8 days and complete the daily missions in Maple M will receive rewards in MapleStorySEA!
Boss WILL

On 4 July 2018, MapleStorySEA can finally welcome its newest boss WILL – Ruler of the Mirror World – to his new permanent residence in Esfera, as announced previously. Boss WILL is the game’s highest level boss at level 250, fair to say that he is also the strongest boss the game has to offer at the moment. Boss WILL’s fight will be divided into three parts signaled by his three health bars. Players are expected to fight WILL in the Maple World as well as in the Mirror World, so do watch out for his attacks!
Available for parties of 1 – 6 players, they will require at least 760 Arcane Force to get into his map, however that alone will not be enough to defeat him. Boss WILL can be found while completing quests in the Corridor of Diffraction.
