Sailing Era Review: An Era in the Heart of the Sea

Developers GY Games set sail with their latest entry Sailing Era, a simulation RPG game that takes place in an era of great geographical discovery in the 15th to 17th century. Published by BiliBili, Sailing Era is available on PC via Steam and Epic Game Store.

Setting Sail
In Sailing Era, you are introduced with four characters: Andrew, Abdullah, Yun Mu and Yoshitaka Shizuma. Getting to know the characters, you’ll get to see that each of them have their own aspirations and goals in mind while exploring the world.

You have Andrew who wants to be the world’s greatest navigator, Abdullah who wants to take revenge on the pirates, Yun Mu who strives to be a successful trader, and Yoshitaka wanting to be a good shipbuilder.
But throughout my time with the game, it seems like the main characters doesn’t meet up with each other. This is mainly because of the timeline of the game itself. You are provided with the dates and number of days for sailing but it doesn’t mention the year. Honestly, it would’ve been nice if we could see all of them cross paths and how they would interact with one another.

Facing the Waves
There are surprisingly a lot of intricacies that you need to pay attention to in Sailing Era. There’s the sailors, ships, funds, supplies, etc. Even before setting sail, you’ll need to assign characters to different rooms available since this expands as you upgrade your ship. Each character has their own specialty and by assigning them to the designated room, you’ll get certain bonuses when exploring the sea.
After that, you’ll need to hire sailors and load up your supplies before you set off. You’re able to set the amount of space you’ll need to sell off items around the world. After completing all of that, you’re able to set off and meet all sorts of wonders around the world.
Navigating your ship is pretty easy with either a mouse and keyboard or a controller. Do keep in mind that you won’t be able to remap any of the buttons while on controller, so you’ll need to get used to the pre-existing buttons. Thankfully, you’re able to map out the buttons with the mouse and keyboard.
Quests and ports
For each chapter, there are certain quests available that you’ll need to take care of. But in order to complete each chapter, you’ll of course need to complete the main quest. There are also side quests in the game but they’re mostly there for you to be familiar with the mechanics, map and trading.
The objectives in each quests often give out vague clues or a simplified map for players to understand. The main map doesn’t mark the exact place that you need to go to. And while it does give off a sense of immersion of exploring an unknown land, I did have to spend hours figuring out the exact location, often getting lost in the process.
As you try to get your quests done, you’ll find ports along the way, and these ports are important since it’s one of the ways to resupply and do trades before continuing your journey. At certain ports, there is a “post” where you explore the land of the region and some of these quests will need you to go on land explorations.
The exploration is done through a hexagonal grid and you’ll need supplies and items before commencing it. While it does sound simple on paper, but it’s not fun when you don’t find the goal of the exploration and burn through your supplies.
Fishing is also another way of resupplying for exploration. You can fish as many times as your rod allows, but once it’s broken you’ll need to use a new one.
Aside from the “post”, there’s a tea house and tavern where you can level up your characters. Here you can order drinks to boost your sailor’s morale while recruiting new ones. This is also where you can get some extra spicy information and even take up some new side quests.
Libraries offer up a lot of interesting knowledge but that requires a bit of extra brainpower to learn. That said, you’ll need to level up your character’s skill since there are some quests that will require you to read in the library.

There’s also a trade market and even a black market available for players to either buy or sell off your goods. This is one of the ways for you to gain cash in the game. And as the game suggests, always go for “Buy low, sell high”.

All Hands on Deck
Getting this right out there, the combat in Sailing Era doesn’t play a great part in the game. Normally you’d just need to fight off pirates in the area, and you’ll often find them when entering dangerous water. There’s two ways of combat: Ship battles and Hand-to-hand combat, where ship battles have you steer your ship and fire off cannon balls.
As with hand-to-hand combat, you’ll need to ram the enemy’s ship. And honestly, this is probably the easier way to win your battle. Although it does requires high-level characters with high morale.
Combat in the game tends to feel dragged out and is relatively time consuming. There were instances where I spent 15 minutes just to get 2 pirate ships. And since there’s no difficulty settings, you’ll need to rely on your sailing skills to evade and attack the enemies.
Amass Treasure
Visually, the art style in Sailing Era reminds me a lot of titles such as Granblue Fantasy and Octopath Traveler. Each of the characters have their own unique traits which makes each of your sailing journeys a lot more memorable. Though I personally would love it if the main characters have their own voice lines rather than just sighs or grunts.
Speaking about the voice, the NPCs in the game have their own voice lines and they’re even in different languages based on their native tongue. It’s kind of weird that the main characters aren’t voiced out while the NPCs are, but I totally welcome it with open hands.
Verdict
Sailing Era manages to give me new experiences while exploring this genre, though you might want to set aside some ample to finish the game. While uncovering the world map, you’ll face challenges along the way with pirates and storms.
While trading is easy, you’ll really need to pay attention to each port and their specific demands. And it was a really nice surprise to have NPCs that speak in different languages in each region, all in a very natural way too.

                                        Pros

                                        Cons

                                        Full of culture to experience

                                        Mechanics aren't too beginner friendly

                                        A vast map to explore

                                        Battles take forever to end

                                        NPCs have voice actors for different languages

Sailing Era was reviewed on PC via Steam.

Harvestella Reveals More Details On Its Plot, Locations and Job System

The game will be released soon on the 4th of November.

The Story

Our protagonist awakes on a hill near Lethe Village, having been saved by a doctor named Cres.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

A meteorite-like object blazes through the sky and falls to the north of Lethe Village. A wounded Omen is found inside the object. Omens are said to be the root source of the calamity befalling this world. The protagonist begins their new life, living in a vacant house on the hill and watching over the Omen.
Game Cycle

The player will always wake up in your bed at home. Whether you choose to work in the fields or go adventuring, your activities during the day are entirely up to you. However, the actions you can take will become more limited as you start to feel sleepy. Make sure to go home and go to sleep before the night is over.
Locations

We’ve also got our first look at some of the locations that players can explore throughout the game:
Lethe Village: A village in the vicinity of the Fall Seaslight and near the hill known as Bird’s Eye Brae, where the protagonist makes their home. Since Lethe is reasonably close to all the Seaslight, it experiences the four seasons. There are all kinds of useful shops in Lethe Village, where you can find everyday essentials or make preparations before setting out on an adventure.
Higan Canyon: The way to the Fall Seaslightpasses through Higan Canyon, characterized by its striking foliage that blazes a deep crimson. In pursuit of the girl who departed for the Seaslight, the protagonist heads into the depths of Higan Canyon. A wild Unicorn may even appear, is it a friend or foe? You’ll have to play the game to find out.
The Omens

Omens are hated and feared by humans. They cover themselves in thick armor and carry out investigations on the Seaslights although their motives are unknown. Because of such actions, a good number of people suspect the Omens are behind the occurrence of Quietus. The Omens are shrouded in mystery and we know little of what their true objective is.

One such Omen is Dianthus. As she heads towards the Fall Seaslight for her purposes, she becomes unable to move in Higan Canyon. After being saved by the protagonist, they continue towards the Fall Seaslight together.
Job System

Harvestella has a job System where each job has unique weapons and uses characteristic skills. By recruiting a character with a certain job, the player-controlled protagonist will also become able to use that same job. Changing jobs will also switch your outfit.
Break Gauges/Special Attacks

Stronger enemies such as bosses have 4 types of “elemental weakness”. Attacking their elemental weaknesses fills up Break Gauges that will increase the damage towards enemies and enables you to activate a one-time-only special attack during a battle.
Special Fall Product
Some products can be harvested all year round, while some kinds of fruit and vegetables can only be harvested in a particular season! Savor the seasonal work on the farm and the cuisine particular to each season.
Letters

You will sometimes receive letters in your mailbox. They might contain presents from the mayor or words of thanks from people you’ve helped. Some letters may even lead to the start of a new story.
Pets and Livestock

In the area around your house on Bird’s Eye Brae, you can keep a pet and even rear livestock. Ride your pet Totokakuto and travel quickly around the world map.
Building animal pens near your house on Bird’s Eye Brae will allow you to rear cluffowl and Woolums. Rearing livestock will allow you to obtain eggs and milk, which you can then use in your cooking.

Havestella is launching for Nintendo Switch on November 4th, 2022.

Overwatch’s new hero Wrecking Ball unveils and it is piloted by a chubby hamster

Rejoice Overwatch tanker players! The newest hero is revealed just yesterday and it is the Wrecking Ball, a mech piloted by the chubby hamster named Hammond. Just like its name, Wrecking Ball is a formidable tank hero that could confidently roll into the enemy team to bully the enemy’s backline, then swing away to escape from the fray easily.

Piloting the earlier version of Wrecking Ball,  Hammond – the hamster who gained his intelligence from one of the many experiments carried out at Horizon Lunar Colony made his escape to the earth and lands on the wasteland of the Australian Outback.

Hammond then modified the mech to enter the lucrative mech battle arena of the Scrapyard and fought his way up to the champion rank. Gathering his winnings, Hammond upgraded his mech to survive the dangerous trek out of the Junker-controlled Outback, now he is free to travel and explore for new adventures as he pleases!

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Wrecking Ball‘s primary weapon, Quad Cannons are two sets of twin machine guns that shred enemies caught in their crosshairs. Using his Roll ability, he transforms into a ball with increased movement speed so he could dive into the enemies’ backline, while his Adaptive Shield makes him incredibly difficult to kill.
His Grappling Claw allows him to swing across the map to smash his targets, deal destructive damage and knock enemies back. While airborne, the mech’s Piledriver ability slams him down from the air and knock his enemies off their feet. He can use Minefield to fling mines onto the ground for a massive damage to enemies that trigger them too.

Watch Overwatch’s game director, Jeff Kaplan introducing the new hero:

Wrecking Ball is available for testing right now on the Overwatch PTR.

Cyberpunk 2077 will be back on the Playstation Store from 21 June 2021 onwards, according to a regulatory announcement on CD Projekt Red‘s website. The brief announcement simply states the following:

In relation to Current Report no. 66/2020 of 18 December 2020, the Management Board of CD PROJEKT S.A. with a registered office in Warsaw hereby publicly discloses the decision by Sony Interactive Entertainment to reinstate the availability of the digital edition of Cyberpunk 2077 on PlayStation Store, effective on 21 June 2021.

The statement given to IGN was given as follows:

Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Version 11 Adds A New Endgame Loop And 4 New Monsters

Capcom has announced further details on Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Version 11 update, which sees a huge drop of new monsters as well as revised endgame content on August 10th.

A total of four new monsters will be coming to Version 11, with Gold Rathian and Silver Rathalos joining the previously announced Luscent Nargacuga and Seething Bazelgeuse.

Gold Rathian and SIlver Rathalos will even come with the Forlorn Arena stage, reminiscent of the tower from previous Monster Hunter games.
Reworked Endgame
The biggest feature of this update, however, is the added emphasis on Anomaly Quests- kicking off with a new A5 rank, which will feature new afflicted monsters like Lunagaron and Magma Almudron joining the pool of afflicted monsters.

Fans of the Guild Quest system have plenty to look forward to, as Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Version 11 update also adds Anomaly Investigations- randomized quests that will level up as you do them, getting harder and providing better rewards as you do them.
Of course, part of these rewards are the previously teased Qurious Crafting– letting you customize skills on your weapons and armor, with armor sets having randomized skills while weapons would be selected from a fixed pool.
This would naturally use materials from the Anomaly Investigations, and you’ll also be able to trade with Bahari for additional materials.
They’ve also said that this isn’t the end for Anomaly-based content, as they also announced that the level cap for Anomaly Investigations would increase with future updates.
Event Quests And Paid DLC
The presentation also announced the addition of new Event Quests as well as Paid DLC for the game, with Event Quests like the infamous double Furious Rajang and Gold Rathian and Silver Rathalos making their return in the game.
On the Paid DLC front, they’re adding new layered armor that would let you change your appearance into the game’s follower NPCs, such as FIorayne and Master Utsushi.

As the country goes into several stages of the Movement Control Order again, Sony Malaysia‘s Facebook has informed members of the public about a positive case of COVID-19 at their Sony Store at The Curve. The full post is written as follows:

Sony Malaysia confirms that an employee who works as a staff in the Sony Store, The Curve in Petaling Jaya is infected with COVID-19. The employee was tested on January 11th, 2021 and the company was informed on January 13th, 2021 that he had tested positive. The company is currently providing the infected employee and his family support and guidance during this difficult time.

As a precautionary measure, Sony Store, The Curve was immediately closed on January 12th, 2021 for thorough cleaning and disinfection, and it remains closed until further notice. All employees at the store have gone for covid screening and are under self-quarantine while waiting for the results.

The infected employee was last at work on 7th January 2021. Prior to that, he did not display any symptoms while working in the store and had also passed our twice-daily temperature checks.

Our top priority is to ensure the health and well-being of our employees and customers. The company is working closely with the Ministry of Health to assist with contact tracing of employees, customers and other parties who may have come into direct contact with the infected employee.

Sony Malaysia will continue to closely monitor the situation to ensure that the well-being of our employees and customers is safeguarded.

We urge everyone to follow safe health measures as outlined by the MOH. Practice physical distancing, wearing a mask, cleaning hands regularly to protect ourselves, our family and friends, community and country.

Stay Safe, Stay Strong. We will get through this together!

With the hallowed Playstation 5 having been restocked, some people may have been to the stores to secure their own consoles. Should you have visited The Curve Sony Malaysia store, a self-quarantine or a test would be best to clear yourself of COVID-19.

Remember to stay home and stay safe in these difficult times.

iOS 16 Supports Nintendo Switch Joy Cons Natively

It looks like Apple’s iOS 16 will add Switch Joy Cons iOS devices, allowing you to connect them as a controller to your phone to play your games.

According to app developer Riley Testut (via Nintendo Everything), you’ll be able to pair either one or both joy cons to your iOS 16 device via bluetooth, and the device will be able to tell if they’re being used as two separate controllers or as one whole one.

This isn’t the first time Apple has supported Nintendo hardware- according to Twitter user ShinyQuagsire, macOS 12 has also supported native drivers for the Nintendo Switch Pro on computers.
“They actually started this in macOS 12, for some reason I couldn’t find anyone commenting on it at the time tho (sic)”, he says.

Despite the gravity of this news, this isn’t hard confirmation of any Nintendo Switch games coming to the mobile platform- instead, it’s an expansion of how you can play iOS games, seeing as they already natively support PlayStation and Xbox controllers via Bluetooth.
It essentially means that you won’t have to worry about getting a new controller if you’d only bought a Nintendo Switch but wanted to play titles like Fantasian or Gear Club Stradale- both of which feature native controller support.
Apple has been pushing for stronger gaming on the iOS platform, owing in part to the Apple Silicone series chipset.
While it’s not as convenient as playing directly on your phone, giving more options is a good way to get people looking at Apple devices as the main way to enjoy these games.

Street Fighter Duel English Release Announced

Street Fighter Duel, the mobile brawler based on the Street Fighter series is getting an English release, after previously only releasing for the Chinese market.

The announcement was made during the North America East portion of the Capcom Pro Tour, though no release date has been given for the game.

Like many other mobile games, Street Fighter Duel will have you building a party of characters based off of the Street Fighter series. You’ll have a party of up to 3 of them, executing special moves on waves of enemies.

As any gacha game fan knows, of course, there will be multiple versions for each character, sporting different outfits. For the most part, the basic characters appear to be based on their appearances in Street Fighter IV, but the game also features other costumes such as casual Street Wear.

While nothing has been said officially, it’s also safe to assume that the English release of Street Fighter Duel will have the Chinese release’s crossover events, such as a collaboration with the Monster Hunter series that saw main character Ken sporting Gore Magala armor.
Despite the existence of mobile fighting games, many mobile games based on popular fighting games tend to opt for the more RPG route, such as the case with Blazblue Alternative Dark War.

No Straight Roads Review- Beating Bosses To The Beat

It’s that time of year to be incredibly proud of Malaysian products. In that spirit we’ve pulled out the Milo Truck to deliver a nice, chilled No Straight Roads review. A huge thanks to Metronomik for the early access.

Character action games and rhythm games are probably two of the most niche single-player games. A lot of people say they’re into them, but when you get into it the expectations of a casual player vs a veteran can be so far apart that making these types of games can be a huge risk for the studios making them. No Straight Roads decided “heck, let’s be both”, and credit to them: it worked.

Related Posts

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

This game oozes with character, from Zuke’s (left) idle pose to the game’s music-themed districts
Bunk Bed Junction Vs The World
No Straight Roads has a plot that sounds like one of those Disney movies that’s really good, but didn’t perform well numbers-wise. That is to say, it’s a good story,
Basically, Mayday and Zuke are Bunk Bed Junction- a small rock band that wants to contribute to the energy-generating music giant NSR. Despite proving that they had enough talent to light up the Qwasa (the transformer that converts music into power), they are disqualified due to the head of NSR, Tatiana, disliking rock music.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

After Mayday throws a fit, rock is outlawed in Vinyl City. How does Mayday take this? Obviously, by going on a revenge mission to gather fans and overthrow NSR. It’s a very videogamey plot, but, surprise- it’s a video game. It’s a great setup for the game’s boss fights, and the sheer simplicity of it also makes the game’s cutscenes more about having fun with the characters than some pretentious need to tell a “deep” story.
DJ Subatomic Supernova joins the hall of fame for great opening bosses
EDM Vs Rock
I’ll admit, when I first saw the “EDM vs Rock Music” marketing for No Straight Roads, I shook my head a little. Music elitism is about as charming as a flat tire, and it was hard to shake off that same judgmental feeling as when the game’s first trailer dropped.
However, the game managed to prove me wrong by not being snobby at all. The game has a good amount of heart- Mayday and Zuke never actually dislike EDM, but they dislike the gentrified nature of music under NSR. At no point does Mayday plug up her ears whining about how “EDM is bad”. The biggest slight to her is simply that NSR tried to outlaw her music.
Even with the game’s soundtrack– All the bosses represent different subgenres of music. These arrangements are handled respectfully, with reverence for the sub-genres they borrow from. That is to say, the music could very well be entries in that genre, rather than a game’s parody of them.
It’s nice touches like this that make me feel like this was someone’s passion project, rather than a theme picked off of a wheel.
Despite rarely playing like a rhythm game, this game definitely has some in its core.
Like Rhythm And Character Action’s Scene Kid Baby
No Straight Roads is a mix of an action game and a rhythm game. While not on the level of Crypt of the Necrodancer, it certainly gives the feel of an action-game vehicle with a rhythm-game-engine.
That is to say that every thing about how the game controls feels like your standard action game. Dodging, jumping, attacking, they’re all there. But the game plays like a rhythm game, wherein you have to consider the rhythm of your enemy’s attacks. This unfortunately means strict discipline. Panic-mashing is even worse here than in other games as you will be punished harshly for it.
How much this bothers you will definitely be affected by your expectations going in. As a character action fan, the temptation to start wailing is always met with a hard punish by enemies who want you to stay on-beat.
The rhythm-game-core of No Straight Roads does also affect how this game controls. To discourage you from simply mashing the buttons, attacks have long recoveries and cannot be cancelled. This is really important for managing expectations, because the game wants you to be thinking about when to make that next attack. The game has a parry system too, which works on an interesting logic. The parry window is quite forgiving for late inputs, but punishes early ones badly.
The game also has a series of upgrade trees. These go from individual upgrades for Zuke and Mayday, to overall upgrades for the team. You buy these upgrades with fans, which are treated like XP. These upgrades are useful for character action fans as they can enable double jumps, as well as air dashes. If you don’t get enough fans from normal progression, you can always redo boss fights to increase your fans.
Don’t worry guys- The R Word here was “Real”
Band of Bandmates
The game’s two playable characters- Mayday and Zuke, are a lot of fun to swap between. Mayday is a slow heavy-hitter, while Zuke is much faster but at the cost of damage. At first glance, Zuke seems the less fun to play. But after investing in some upgrades, he becomes a good source of AoE damage thanks to his combo finishers.
In single player, you get to switch between these characters at will. Meanwhile, in co-op, players can choose to play as either Zuke or Mayday. For the most part, the game is much more playable in single player. The second character is invulnerable in single player, turning the game into a challenge about switching out characters before they take too much damage.
However, there’s a boss fight in the game that turns into a full-on rhythm game, with you having to control both Mayday and Zuke as you move between lanes to avoid obstacles. This is incredibly overwhelming in single player, and I’ve found it much more bearable with a second person there.
Of the many things 2020 brought us, a Dikir Barat Stand Battle against a Wayang Kulit is probably the least expected, yet most appreciated.
No Straight Roads’ Excellent Boss Fights
So what’s all this combat for? No Straight Roads is essentially a boss rush, wherein you move from zone to zone defeating the various artists employed by NSR. The game contains some small platforming sections before each boss. These are from the Megaman school of design where they serve to train you for the coming boss fight.
The boss fights are the meat of this game, with each boss fight playing differently from its predecessor. There’s a good amount of variety in these fights, and with good reason- each fight can be replayed for more points, and at different difficulties. These bossfights can be long, though, with each one lasting around the 10-minute mark on a no-die run.
While some may complain about it I quite welcome the game’s boss focus. After all, these bosses make up the bulk of the game’s promotional materials. If they’d shortened the fight and added more regular levels, the game would be the duller for it.
“Quiver in fea-” oh wait, wrong game.
Closing Thoughts
Despite the nitpickiest of gripes, No Straight Roads is an excellent time. It knows why you’re here- music based bossfights- and doesn’t hesitate to get you to the good stuff as soon as possible. At worst, its sins lie in asking too much of the player to abandon their button mashy nature.
The game’s lack of snobby commentary says a lot about the types of people who made this game. From its  reverence of the music genres it borrows from to the relatibility of Bunk Bed Junction’s quest for validation: you can tell someone wanted to make this game.
It’s a fun, lighthearted romp and absolutely worth checking out. While getting to the game’s rules may be a steep curve at first, the game’s ability to focus on its good parts make sure you’re never struggling for too long.

Pros

Cons

Stellar soundtrack
Mismatched expectations can be frustrating

Characters are genuinely likable

Date A Live: Spirit Crisis announced for smartphones

Japan-based multi-media conglomerate Kadokawa has just announced that the upcoming Date A Live series will be getting a game spinoff in the form of Date A Live: Spirit Crisis for the Android and iOS platforms.

For the uninitiated, Date A Live is a series of light novels which have in turn spawned several seasons of anime, games and even a movie. To say that this series is still massively popular is an understatement. In any case, Date A Live: Spirit Crisis will easily be the most ambitious project yet, as it will feature just about everyone who has made an appearance throughout the years.
Although the developer has yet to disclose gameplay details, judging by the last game entry in the series, Date A Live: Spirit Pledge, one can safely assume that it will be an action game of sorts plus a mixture of dating simulator aspects. It is worth mentioning also that Spirit Pledge received a global release, so there is a good chance that we will seeing Spirit Crisis receiving a similar treatment at some point.

Bofuri mobage to end service in September

D-techno will be putting an end to Bofuri: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, so I’ll Max Out My Defense on 21 September 2021 after a brief run. The mobile tower defence was first launched on 9 January 2020 in Japan, to capitalise on the release of the anime which aired a day before.

To say that it has been short-lived would be an understatement, and there is very little point to get into it now. Instead, you could watch the anime, which is fairly decent. A synopsis for it as follows via MAL:

After an enthusiastic invitation from her friend, Kaede Honjou reluctantly agrees to try New World Online: a very popular VRMMO played by thousands of people across Japan. Naming her in-game character Maple, she sets out on her journey. As a complete novice to such games, she allocates all of her stat points into vitality, desiring to not get hurt. With not a single point in any other stat, Maple has extraordinarily high defense, but she can’t move quickly or hit hard.
This doesn’t end badly for her, however. Due to her high defense, Maple acquires overpowered skills such as Total Defense, Poison Immunity, and Devour. These skills, along with the incredibly powerful items she obtains, allow her to obliterate most enemies in a single hit. After only a few days of playing the game, Maple claims third place in a server-wide event, gaining a reputation as a player who is both unkillable and absurdly powerful.

Despite her overpowered character, Kaede has much to learn. As she progresses through the game, she meets new friends and acquaintances, helping her complete new levels and events. Through all of her adventures, she may even pick up some other crazy skills that exceed all expectations.

GamerBraves Newsletter vol. 81 – How Petting Dogs Took Over Video Games

One of the big highlights of Pikmin 4 at the Nintendo Direct was that there would be a new dog-like alien that will help you throughout the game. It’s interesting to note as this would be the fifth video game from Nintendo in the last five years that has the player character interacting with cute dogs.

The other notable titles include Fire Emblem Engage, Astral Chain, Luigi’s Mansion 3, and Yoshi’s Crafted World. From there, it dawned upon me that a lot of recent video games in general allow you to play with or pet dogs: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Hades, Monster Hunter Rise, and even the upcoming Final Fantasy XVI among many others.

It’s a small action yet so many games seem to feel a need to include it. Ghost of Tsushima even went back and added a patch so you could pet the dogs in a post-launch update (although you could already pet foxes in that game). So where did this sudden love of dogs come from and did it all stem from one Twitter account?

Grand Summoners launched in the west for smartphones

In case you have not heard of it, Grand Summoners is touted as the successor for Brave Frontier back in 2016 as Hayakashi Hisatoshi, formerly the producer for Brave Frontier, left gumi to found his own game company, Aidis. It is a tap-battle RPG which supports up to four players for its coop system which is unique in this genre.

While the game is a turn-based monster breeding RPG, it is very similar to Summoners War. Summons of all kinds are different based on the rarity of the monsters and can be upgraded to make them stronger by increasing their levels, rank, skills, evolution and equipping Glyphs. However the unique point of the game is that your Hero will be able to help in combat by casting spells. A total of 3 different House of Magic that can be specialized in – Materia (Speed), Chimera (Defense) or Anima (Attack).

Azur Lane and KFC China collab wants you to pose like your fave

Azur Lane will be having a collaboration event with KFC China, with Daniel Ahmad sharing an image of the upcoming event.

The event will be starting July, where players will be able to participate in a lottery in order to obtain a voucher. This voucher can then be exchanged for a collectible item, presumably at select stores where applicable. The lucky winners will have one more step to do, which is to go to the relevant KFC China branch, pose as your favourite character, and say “Azur Lane!” aloud to complete the redemption. What exactly the collectible will be is anyone’s guess at this stage.

It’s certainly a bit more involved than needing the exchange of money for goods and services. Azur Lane is known for fairly saucy art, getting scrutinized by their local government and all, so good luck to the future Commanders about to publicly declare their love for their ship girls.

It’s likely the collab will see related skins obtainable for the actual game if you don’t win the actual draw. Due to licensing issues, players in the global servers may not be able to get any of these bonuses anytime soon, but stay tuned to see how much spicier that fried chicken can get.

MAXIBOOST ON! An interview with Akihito Chiba, producer of MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM EXTREME VS MAXIBOOST ON

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM EXTREME VS MAXIBOOST ON is originally an arcade Gundam conducting a closed beta test title, but it is now heading over to the PS4 console! In fact, for Southeast Asia at least, they’re even for players to give those Mobile Suits a good shake. We emailed producer Akihito Chiba with a bunch of questions regarding the title, so strap yourselves in. We’d also like to thank Bandai Namco for providing us with the opportunity to ask these questions to begin with!

Akihito Chiba.
GB: We know that Mobile Suit Gundam is a big IP. Why the decision to port MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM EXTREME VS MAXIBOOST ON from arcade to console?

Related Posts

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

CHIBA: We’ve received many heartfelt requests from the fans of this series, which led us to the decision to develop the game for the console [PS4] platform.
GB: MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM EXTREME VS MAXIBOOST ON and Gundam Versus are both Gundam series fighting games. What’s the difference between these titles?
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

CHIBA: Versus is a different title from the EXVS series, like for example, the “Boost Dive” system is only available in Gundam Versus, as well as the 3 on 3 battles. MAXIBOOST ON takes from the EXVS series featuring extreme action, a different set of playable Mobile Suits from Gundam Versus, as well as having Mobile Suits from different Gundam series.
Also available on PS4.
GB: For gameplay, MAXIBOOST ON has split screen support, but it can’t be used if people play with friends against online players. Why this decision?
CHIBA: We’ve considered split-screen gameplay in online battles. However, unlike offline battles, the stability of the frame rate has to be considered. It was challenging to maintain a high-speed battle experience, so we abandoned the implementation.
GB: Will MAXIBOOST ON only have Versus mode, or will it have a Story mode for the PS4?
CHIBA: Yes, we are considering it. Please wait for future updates.
GB: Currently, MAXIBOOST ON is planned to launch on the PS4. Is there any possibility of launching it on other platforms?
CHIBA: Right now, yes, we are planning to release the game for the PS4. There is currently no plan to launch it on other platforms.
GB: Will MAXIBOOST ON‘s matching system consider personal player skill to match them with a similar opponent?
CHIBA: Yes, it will be difficult for players with extreme level differences to fight because the game utilizes a matching system that mostly allows you to battle with players of similar level.
GB: Will there be a beta before the launch date? Editor’s note: At the point in time we asked the questions, there was no news on the beta yet.
CHIBA: We will be having a closed network test from 25 to 27 April. You can register for it through the form.
GB: For Gundam Versus, the SEA version of the game only has English language. Would MAXIBOOST ON have support for other languages?
CHIBA: The implementation language for the Southeast Asian version will be English.
GB: Except for Zaku Amazing, there will be 183 suits in MAXIBOOST ON. Will the Mobile Suit specialities or abilities be the same as the arcade version or will it be different for the console? Editor’s note: Klim Nick’s Montero will also be in the game, bringing the total to 185.
CHIBA: It will be the same system as the arcade version. There are no plans for adding abilities or weapons.

GB: Will we be allowed to customize our own Gundam? Will there also be additional new features/differences from the arcade version?
CHIBA: Please wait kindly for future updates. For now, we would like to make the game reach our standards and improve it to be able to enjoyed to the fullest even for single player.
Enthusiasts can look forward to the closed beta to try it out for themselves! What are you most looking forward to in MAXIBOOST ON? We’d definitely want to see that famed high-speed clash of the various Mobile Suits, and who knows, even settle old debates of which mecha is the strongest!
P.S.: We think we can be cautiously excited for all the “future updates”, because, surely, if they weren’t planning on anything, they’d say no, right? Keep your eyes peeled, everyone!

Alchemy Stars: An Interview with Main Character Vice, Tomori Kusunoki

Just two weeks after announcing the start of the pre-registration campaign, Alchemy Stars has garnered over 500,000 pre-registrations. The game is now at the halfway mark from the final milestone reward.

The voice actor for one of the main characters – Vice, is dubbed by Tomori Kusunoki, who started voice acting in 2017. She has played many roles in different Anime series such as Sword Art Online, Love Live, and also on video games.

In this interview with Tomori Kusunoki, she talks about her impression of Alchemy Stars and also more about her character; Vice.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Vice is an Aurorian, age 17, female, a member of Illumina Federation. Gentle, talented, smart, and was once groomed by the Illumina Federation for greatness, only to lost confidence after failing a test. Currently the captain of the Illumina Expedition Team. As she wanted to prove herself to the federation, she decided to explore the dangerous remote ruins, leading her to meet the protagonist. While trying to prove herself, she gradually learned of the protagonist’s plight and discovered that the Aurorians are facing a great threat once again, thus joining the protagonist in the fight against the Eclipsites.
An interesting point that she brought up is that Vice has a special connection with the main protagonist and for some reason, she is able to control Soroz; our Colossus.
For those of you who don’t know, a Colossus is an enormous vehicle equipped with self-aware AI that is used for combat, transport, and flight. However, a Colossus can only be navigated by a Caelestites. The main question here is, how is Vice, an Aurorian able to control a Colossus? What is her past? Is she really an Aurorian? We’ll have to wait until the game releases to find out!
World Overview
The world of Alchemy Stars is about an Earth-like planet called Auroria, that got caught in an orbital change caused by war and was drawn towards a giant star known as the “Sun”. Under the scorching sun, only the areas around the twilight rim have a diurnal cycle and moderate climate for beings to live. The biggest known continent in the world is the central mainland. Astra is located on the west of the mainland and is its subcontinent.

The story begins with Vice from the Illumina Federation, discovering the main protagonist during an expedition, which subsequently attracts incoming Eclipsites. Players will take on the role of the main protagonist who is a survivor of the Caelestites. You grew up in a Colossus hiding under the ground and was isolated from the world for 17 years. Your job is to guide Vice and the other Aurorians in battles to fend off incoming Eclipsites and eventually activate your Colossus and flee the ruins.
While escaping the protagonist receives distress signals from a fellow survivor and learns about the presence of Schummer, a member of the Eclipse. Schummer is revealed wanting to locate Battle Modules to refit her Colossus, the Aviduz, and restore its might.
Upon learning that Schummer plans to pilot Aviduz and attack Lumopolis, the protagonist hurries to the city in the sky just in time to see Schummer launching her assault…
A new pre-registration campaign called Journey to Astra will start on 1 May 2021. This campaign will be held on Twitter. All you have to do is Retweet and 5 lucky Navigators will be randomly chosen to win 25 USD Google Play Card.
Lastly, if you have not pre-registered for the game, you still have time to help all Navigators to reach that 1 million mark!

Second Dinner, former Hearthstone developers to collaborate with Marvel and NetEase

Ben Brode, the former producer and designer for Hearthstone, announced that his game studio Second Dinner is looking for people to work on its new project based on a Marvel IP. The studio will be working with China-based publisher NetEase, which you may have heard recently will be responsible for Diablo Immortal.

NetEase was reported to have coughed up USD 30mn for the Marvel IP although which one is unknown at the time of publication. With Spider-Man Unlimited set to shut down on 31 March 2019, the need for a new game would be necessary, but whether or not this new NetEase game will be just that remains to be seen.
