The Alchemist Code Review – Another glorious Japanese SPRG from gumi

First revealed by gumi Inc. last August, The Alchemist Code is a strategy RPG based on the popular Japanese SRPG title – For Whom The Alchemist Exists. It is going live globally for iOS and Android today (14 November). We are lucky to be given early access to the game, so this is our The Alchemist Code review.

The Alchemist Code features the classic turn-based combat with grid-based movement, where you will be commanding units on 3D terrains to defeat the opponent units. You will be introduced to the 2 main protagonist – Logi and Dias who gained the power of Alchemy and wants to bring justice and change the world.

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

The story mode brings you through Logi and Dias’s journey, you will encounter enemies along the journey and the only way to progress is to defeat them. You can form a party up to 4 units with a mercenary (hire from your friend list or select from the random unit available) and 2 support units to join a battle. There is also an event mode where you can challenge different quests for a specific reward.

Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

While for the Multiplay mode, you will bring one of your units and co-op with other players, taking turns to attack for victory. The Arena mode enables you to take on 3-on-3 battles in auto-mode (both side’s character will battle automatically) for ranking.

The combat is quite simple yet requires strategy. Some type of unit can deal higher damage to a specific type of unit, attacking from behind or high-ground will deal bonus damage too so you will need to plan your moves.

From all we know, there are more than 50 characters available and you can acquire them through summoning (gacha). Same goes for weapons. Similar to most of the RPGs out there, you can raise your units’ combat power by equipping items and leveling up your heroes.

Pros
The cutscenes and user interface graphics are one of the best graphics that I have ever seen on mobile games, they have even featured Japanese voice-over for all the dialogues (in the prologue)! The combat system is great too as there is a lot of tactical elements involved such as element types, attack range and extra bonus from back attacking. It forces me to think whenever I want to make a move in order to secure the victory (and 3 stars). The Alchemist Code also features a wide variety of character and class.

Cons
Although the graphics on cutscenes and user interface are impressive, the in-game battle graphics are only in low resolution (it is not adjustable). The battle feels slow especially with all the delays when performing an action and the AI thinking time. Yes you can speed up and auto-battles through the stage, but it is still far from ideal.

Also, there is a lack of proper guidance for new players. For example, there is no guidance on how to change battle units or what type of enemy will you face in the stage. The user interface outside of combat is a bit confusing too, which I find it troublesome to use some features (such as leveling up units).

If you are into strategy RPG (and don’t mind the slow combat), you should give The Alchemist Code a try. It is now available on App Store and Google Play Store for free with in-app purchase. For more information about The Alchemist Code, you can visit their official website or Facebook page.

[TGS 2022] Resident Evil Village VR Preview – Going Face-to-Face With Lady Dimitrescu Was Everything You Dreamt Of

Over at Tokyo Game Show 2022, we had the opportunity to check out the demo preview for Resident Evil Village VR and I gotta say, it’s wonderful.

The demo preview for Resident Evil Village VR let’s us play through the start of the Lady Dimitrescu chapter where you get dragged around by the daughters. Thankfully I was able to meet Lady Dimitrescu and I was taken aback to the sheer height difference between Lady Dimitrescu and I. While I was staring at her, respectfully of course, it was unfortunately cut short by being chased by one of Lady Dimitrescu’s daughters and fending off against some Lycans.

Resident Evil Village VR comes with what you want in a VR game, you can essentially dual wield the knife and gun. You even get to throw knives at the enemies since I was surprisingly good at, considering the fact at how many times I’ve managed to thrown a completely winnable game of Dota 2.
Reloading your gun is very technical since you have to manually eject the magazine and then load in a new one as well as cocking the gun. I got to admit, it’s both immersive and stressful at the same time but in an exciting way since it really makes you feel the tension of being put into action.

One thing that I really appreciated in the demo is the fact of how good everyone looks. It really felt like the characters get in your face more as a result of it being VR, and the developers accounted for that aspect by touching up everyone’s faces as well as animations to look more clean up close.
One of the examples being with the scene where they hook you and drag you to Lady Dimitrescu’s room, which was already great in the regular release but in VR, you suddenly notice the neat little details here and there of the furniture, which is really cool. It really feels like all the appeal of the Ethan games have been turned up to the max and it also definitely feels way spookier since just one lycan is already a handful.
Addition PSVR 2 Opinions
Playing through the Resident Evil Village VR demo preview, I got to try out the PSVR2 headset and I have to admit, the eye tracking is really good. Although, you do need to fiddle around with the headset initially so that they can find your eyes.
Having the face buttons be split into the left and right side of the controller also feels really natural too. At first, I thought it wouldn’t be but I really liked it since each of my thumbs were doing less work.
My one minor gripe about it is that if the headset isn’t calibrated properly, you can accidentally crush your nose with the front and make it hard to breathe, but that might’ve just been because of my hair which makes it hard for anything to stay on.

All in all, I had a wonderful time trying out the VR preview of Resident Evil Village VR and I am definitely looking forward to the official release of it.

Orient Arcadia release date in Japan announced

Orient Arcadia has announced its release date in Japan. The mobile game from Qookka Games is, as you might expect from its name and general aesthetics, one heavily inspired by typical Chinese / wuxia material. Pre-registrations remain open for Orient Arcadia ahead of the release date, set for 9 April 2022. The 400,000 original milestone has long been achieved, offering premium currency, SSR guaranteed ticket and a limited icon frame.

As the story goes, the spiritual energy of opposing dragons created both a land and leaving behind relics with mysterious powers, said to give one the power to rule the world. The protagonist is an ordinary guy who arrived at this certain “Utopia of the Orient” by chance, encountering both monsters and heroes and somehow saving the world. And still, he will need to confront his fate of apparently becoming a demon king…

Orient Arcadia doesn’t appear to have a very complicated game system, where you field a party of 6 into battle, the strategy coming from team composition and their position. Interestingly, characters can be easily swapped in and out, with the replacement inheriting the stats of the previous unit. There are also mini games and the usual “bond with your characters” mechanics.

Chocobo GP Review: I wanna ride my Chocobo All Day~

It always seemed like Mario Kart has been firmly planted as king of the mascot racer highway, Chocobo GP however puts in a valiant effort to break those limits, offering a fun racing game in its own right, with a cute style and plenty of callbacks to make longtime fans of Final Fantasy very happy.

The game is the latest in Final Fantasy’s Chocobo spin-off series and a revival of the PS1 title ‘Chocobo Racing’. A game made more with casual fans in mind, it offers a light-hearted adventure that’s easy to pick up and get started. While it does have a few bumps in the road, those looking for a new mascot fighter will be happy to step into the jet skates of Chocobo GP.

Please note, this review is only of the single-player content of the game. As of this review, the multiplayer hasn’t been working due to a lack of players since the game hasn’t launched to general audiences. I’m going to give the game the benefit of the doubt and say that this is the reason there’s no one online and not because the online is so bad that it couldn’t match me with a single other person.
Final Fantasy Wacky Races

Chocobo GP comes with a variety of different modes, and GP Tournament mode,  a story mode, multiplayer, a series race arcade mode to race different cups, and a time attack to race for the best time. There’s even a custom rules mode to change the race to your liking.
For Final Fantasy fans out there, Chocobo GP has a lot of fanservice from across the series, albeit from certain games more than others.
The rosters consist of the Chocobo series mainstays like Shirma, Camilla, and Clair (Fat Chocobo) as well as several summons, all redesigned into cuter chibi forms. There are only 4 characters from the main Final Fantasy series: Gilgamesh from V, Terra (in esper form) from VI, and Vivi and Steiner from IX. Cloud and Squall are due to appear as DLC but it would have been nice to see a few more familiar faces in the game.
Likewise, while there aren’t a lot of stages, the game has a lot of variety with a few of them calling back to older games in the franchise. My favorite had to be The Bridge, with its diverging pathways and rocking rendition of the classic ‘Battle on The Big Bridge Theme’.
The music in general, while also lacking in quantity, was also excellent with classic Final Fantasy renditions remade into adrenaline-pumping race tunes, even ‘Melodies of Life’ was remixed to be more fast-paced while still keeping true to the original track. That being said you’re probably going to start finding the menu song a bit annoying after listening to it too much.
“I wanna ride my Chocobo All Day~”

I promise I won’t spend the entire review comparing the game to Mario Kart but if you’ve played the mushroom kingdom racer, Chocobo GP plays very similarly. You pick from a wide cast of colorful characters, select a kart and go on the track. During the race, you collide into the series of items (here called magicians) that you can use to hit your opponents and compete to be first around the course in 3 laps.
The game has the chaotic sense of fun you’ve expected out of a mascot racer, speeding down the track, doing drifts while trying to avoid the multiple stage hazards and attacks your enemies throw at you. The gameplay is really smooth with no lag or pop-in as far as I could tell.
Each item in the game is called a magicite and involves using different spells from across the Final Fantasy series. Aeros creates a tornado, Quake causes the area around your kart to shake. One thing I liked, in particular, is that the Death magicite, this game’s equivalent of the blue and red shell, can actually be avoided if you take your time to do so.

Each character also has their own individual ability that can be charged up as you collect crystals across the map. Chocobo for example gains an enormous speed and handling boost while Terra shoots missiles at the racers ahead of her.
Kart Kombat

This is what separates the game from the most from Mario Kart. There’s a far greater emphasis on hitting your opponent with spells. Between all the different offensive items and your own characters’ abilities, it’s just as much about stunning your opponent with attacks as it is racing well. This can be a double-edged sword in my opinion. On one hand, it does make the game more challenging, creating more variables for winning and adding to the madness of the match.
However, the items are still randomized meaning a lot of the game is left up to RNG. Each item can stun a character for a fairly long time and each has quite a bit of range. Combining this with tracks being fairly short means that if you’re unlucky and get hit by the wrong item (or several), you can easily lose up to five places in a match if not more.
Mario Kart also has this to an extent but here, it just feels a bit too easy here to get screwed over by the RNG. I’ve done the same match with the same character and sometimes been first and other times last usually because the guy next to me hit me with an earthquake (possibly followed by a thunder cloud), I got knocked on my ass and everyone zoomed by.
On a casual level it can be seen as good since it means that anyone has a chance to win but it can be frustrating if, after all your effort, you get last place because someone else won the magicite lottery.
The Chocobo GP

The story mode for the game is fairly light in terms of plot. It is split into nine chapters, following Chocobo and Atla the Moogle as they enter a racing tournament that promises to grant them a wish. It’s told in a storybook-like aesthetic but the 3D models do make it look a little awkward.
The story itself is pretty barebones with Chocobo and the gang just going around picking up characters for the tournament. That being said the characters were likable enough and it has its merits if you a Final Fantasy fan with lots of in-jokes and easter eggs that will have those in the know giggling. It’s not the most memorable story but it’s a passable way to introduce the different characters in stages with some fun flavor text for the die-hard fans.

You’ll want to play this mode first since it’s how you unlock most of the roster with new characters being added at the end of every chapter. Playing through story mode also unlocks characters for you to buy in the in-game store. These are mostly summons like Ifrit and Shiva. You can pay for them with tickets that you get by playing through races. There are crystals on the track and the more you collect, the more tickets you can earn. You can also pay for tickets with real money, which is a bit shady on Square Enix’s part but at least you can unlock them by putting enough time into the game.
In Conclusion

It’s no Mario Kart, but for Final Fantasy fans looking for fun more casual-oriented spin-off game, Chocobo GP is a fun time. Between the characters, story mode, and songs if you a long-time fan of the franchise you’ll find something to enjoy.
If you’re not a fan of Final Fantasy, the doesn’t offer as much but it’s still a solid kart racer with tracks that are energized by well animated, fast-paced chaos. The RNG may be annoying at times but it doesn’t take away too much from the fun of performing clean drifts and going up ramps. Ultimately I’d say this one is for Final Fantasy fans first and foremost but if you’re really itching for a new mascot fighter, this may be a fantasy worth checking out.

Chocobo GP will be released for Nintendo Switch on March 10th, 2022.

On that note, Toge will also be taking over the IP rights to Rising Hell.

“We have a vision of helping more SouthEast Asian game developers reach the global stage. This acquisition is one of the many ways we hope to achieve this goal,” says Kris Antoni, CEO and co-founder of Toge Productions. “We’ve worked extensively with the team at Tahoe Games on Rising Hell and have a great relationship with them already. We’re very thrilled to have such talented developers join us at Toge Productions.”
“The acquisition between Toge Productions and Tahoe Games is a mutually beneficial relationship. We agreed to this offer because of the same goals we have together to further educate and provide opportunities for underrepresented talents who don’t always have the same opportunities to the people who live in major cities or outside the country,” says Robertus R. Haris, co-founder of Tahoe Games. “With this acquisition, we hope that studios in Kediri will be even bigger and be able to provide all the talent in Kediri and the areas surrounding it.”
Tahoe Games will not be rebranding following the acquisition- however they will be representing Toge Productions in Kediri, Indonesia where they’re currently located.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure All Star Battle R Is The JoJo Game You Were Probably Waiting For

For many, the announcement that JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure All Star Battle would return via its R re-release was a big one: the iconic manga series is seeing lots of international appeal, so it’s definitely a good time to bring back the crossover fighting game.

If you’ve somehow escaped the 2010s without hearing about JoJo, it’s pretty simple- imagine every anime trope people use to make fun of anime- pointlessly complicated outsmartening of someone else’s outsmarting, impractical outfits and excessively cool names. Here’s the anime that those tropes probably came from.

As the rapidly fluctuating quality of licensed anime games shows though, a solid IP doesn’t always translate to a solid game- there’s lots of pitfalls, usually in an attempt to get things looking like its source material, that games can fall into.
How does Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure All Star Battle R fair? Read on and find out.

It’s The Jojo-iest JoJo Has Ever Been
As a JoJo fan, any kind of game trying to adapt the series is inherently risky. It’s basically on the same level of Berserk- fans are very tuned to what makes something feel like JoJo, and even the slightest thing that’s off might cause more problems in the feeling of the game. JoJo is a series incredibly loud in its inspirations- everyone knows what you mean when you hear the words JoJo Pose.

To that end, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure All Star Battle R succeeds immensely. Every action used by the game’s massive roster of characters feels bold and characterful- exactly what you’d want out of a JoJo game. Poses are dynamic and cool, much like Araki’s own drawings.
Admittedly they aren’t as smooth in motion as I might have liked- that’s just the downside of them using 3d models instead of 2d sprites. But the game’s sense of presentation is just so strong, you can’t help but be charmed by characters like Dio or Gappy (Josuke from part 8) as they basically just constantly emit personality in their animations.
It’s not just visually, either- many of the characters movesets are designed with their personality in mind. Many licensed titles tend to fall apart here-  sometimes it’s more about recreating something visually from the source material, but feel absolutely rubbish to actually execute. This isn’t really the case with All Star Battle R, which has some interesting uses for the characters many quirks.

A great example would be the character Guido Mista: in JoJo Part 5, he’s a gunman with a superstitious fear of the number 4, so much so that his stand, Sex Pistols, is a group of little men with numbered heads but the 4th one is missing. Just like in the anime he has to manage his bullets, and letting him have only 4 shots left will put him into a state where he loses meter- so you want to either take an extra shot or reload to flee from the number 4.
Considering how much of JoJo as a series is driven by these kinds of quirky details about characters, it’s great to see a game that acknowledges them in such a way too. It’s the difference between a game that feels like its trying to honor its base series, rather than one that’s just riding the coattails of a popular IP.
It takes it a step further with the titular All Star Battle Mode, too- rather than just being canon battles, All Star Battle throws in a huge pile of what-ifs: What if Avdol fought Ghiacco? They have no reason to other than having fire and ice powers, after all. But the game has fun with these, even granting unique dialogue for each of the matchups.

Battle Tendency
While I never got to play the original All Star Battle, I’m told that R features quite a bit of gameplay improvements. Combat definitely feels snappy- the game’s 3 main attack buttons have their own gatlings, making going from Light-medium-Heavy feel quite good to do.
That being said, it’s not a totally hyper game- air mobility is quite restricted, and jumping itself is a pretty huge commitment since you can’t block in the air. Worse still, jump recovery feels a tad bit longer than most anime fighters- so moves you’d want to avoid by jumping will fall entirely on your ability to guess the timing correctly the first time.
This kind of precision shows up in the game in more ways, too- different attacks seem to incur different wake up timings, so at a higher level of play you’ll probably find yourself needing to practice different types of setups once you knock your opponent down.
The game’s default use of stage hazards can also be frustrating, but those can be turned off
What this creates is a game that’s quite strict about the decisions you’ll have to make- you don’t get much room to correct your mistakes outside of your opponent possibly dropping their combo or breaking away using one of the game’s assists.
I’m a really big fan of the game’s Style mechanic- Style is basically like a simplified version of Drive from Blazblue, where what it does changes from character to character, based on their fighting style. Hamon characters, for example, can charge their Hamon, building meter. Stand users change stances- meaning they’ve essentially got two sets of moves to choose from, all dependent on which stance they’re currently in.
It’s really clever because rather than make every character into an all-rounder, it makes their weaknesses more obvious- Gappy’s Stand ON mode technically does give him more close range options, but most of them will end with keeping him away, perfect for his more defensive kit. Worse still, he doesn’t have a reversal in either stance, so he’s still weak to pressure since he can’t reliably force his way out like some other characters might.
Not A Great Tutorial
Unfortunately, one of the game’s biggest weaknesses lies in its onboarding. The game’s tutorial is a mandatory 4 page text document that doesn’t really cover anything in depth. I literally had to be taught about more advanced techniques like Stand Canceling and Stand Rushes, since the game makes literally no mention of them despite being integral to increasing the offensive power of any Stand-type character.
Even the mechanics the game does mention, like Flash Canceling- a lot of that is dependent on your experience with other games with a Roman Cancel-equivalent. To the entirely new player, you’re probably wondering why you just spent a bar to strike a pose.

Add that to the game’s pretty abysmal movelist- attacks are named after quotes from the manga, and they don’t really have any way to tell you what each move does. It’s just overly frustrating if you want to climb from the “pressing buttons and having fun” pond to the “letting your soul be tainted by fighting games” one.
Admittedly, this was pretty much par for the course back when the original All Star Battle released. But fighting games have advanced so much in this field that it’s a shame that CyberConnect2 didn’t think to update the game’s tutorials. It’s not just menus either- the game still sports delay-based netcode, which means any kind of online play is going to be a challenge since you can’t have good conditions for any of the higher-skill gameplay.
Closing Thoughts
Out of context Jonathan Joestar is the best Jonathan Joestar
Look, JoJo is great. It’s an 8-part of anthology that absolutely oozes style every chance it gets, and is indirectly responsible for multiple other popular anime series. All Star Battle R is a great extension of that- it celebrates the manga as a whole by even featuring characters from Steel Ball Run and JoJolion.
A lot of the game’s flaws instead come not so much from being a bad fighting game, but moreso from not doing the homework necessary to re-release a title in 2022. While netcode might not directly drive sales at launch (the game has done well enough for itself on that front), it would have gone a long way in getting the game a long-lasting scene, since more people will want to play a game that gets consistent matches. Likewise with the tutorial, players should absolutely have easier access to tools to jump up a skill level.
That being said, the game also has its points to be commended. Rather than piggyback off the anime, the game’s soundtrack is actually amazing- just like its manga-style presentation and overall visuals. Add that to the actually fun combat and, well, you’ve got a game that absolutely deserves a spot at your next locals.

However one interesting play mode is the Pet battle which is self-explanatory.

How Petting Dogs Took Over Video Games

This article on ‘How Petting Dogs Took Over Video Games’ was available a week earlier through the Gamerbraves Newsletter. Sign up for free to gain access to more articles about news and trends in the gaming industry and community.

Original Article: 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 Nintendo game in the last five years that has the player character interacting with a cute dog, the others being 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 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?

‘Can You Pet The Dog’

Many games have allowed you to interact with pets. Pokemon alone has sold millions based on this premise and the earliest known game that allows you to pet a dog dates all the way back to 1986 with King’s Quest III. That being said this recent trend from the last few years is heavily tied to one place in particular.
‘Can You Pet The Dog’ was a Twitter account set up by journalist and content creator Tristan Cooper in 2019. As the name implies, its primary focus is to list down every game where you can or can’t pet the dog (or any other animal that appears in the game).

God of War Ragnarok does indeed feature a pettable animal, but since it involves a late-game spoiler, I will refrain from posting about it for now. In the meantime, here is an early-game clip of Atreus petting one of his wolves, Speki. pic.twitter.com/uAz3ZMTiHi
— Can You Pet the Dog? (@CanYouPetTheDog) November 11, 2022

In an interview with the Washington Post, Cooper states that he came up with the account one night as a joke after wishing he could do something to help the stray dogs the player comes across in Tom Clancy’s The Division 2. Despite such humble origins, the account has not only grossed over 500k followers but seems to be influencing more games to add dogs.
Even more Dogs
Since the account started in 2019, even more games have been adding various furry friends that players can pet. Just this January alone, Fire Emblem, Hi-Fi Rush, and Forspoken all had pet petting options, and if that is not enough several games, particularly indie games often tag the Can You Pet The Dog account letting them and their followers know that yes, you can pet the dog in their game, in hopes of getting a retweet.
One developer Size Five Games even tried to troll the account in their game Lair of The Clockwork God by featuring a dog you could pet but making it incredibly difficult to do so. That didn’t stop Can You Pet The Dog from reporting on it soon after.

I’m actually quite angry about this because the dog, and the convoluted difficulty in petting the dog, was *entirely* put in the game with the specific intention of trolling @CanYouPetTheDog into declaring you could not pet the dog.
And…he just…he tweeted it out. https://t.co/Ib2OmTREGA
— Dan Marshall (@danthat) March 19, 2020

So is this the cause of the dog petting phenomenon? It’s hard to say. Cooper has never taken credit for it and points out that “Video games had pettable dogs long before I logged onto Twitter, after all, that’s the whole reason I created the account.”
It is undeniable however that it has become quite the trend in part due to the Twitter account. With 500k followers, a retweet alerting people of the new title’s pet representation can be quite the endorsement for AAA and indie games alike. That isn’t to say that every game that includes cute animals was inspired by Twitter though.
People Love Animals

When asked if ‘Can You Pet The Dog’ inspired the feature in Ghost of Tsushima, Creative Director Jason Connell said the following: “The Twitter account you referenced is just further evidence that people love animals, even in video games.”
While neither a confirmation nor denial, he brings up a good point. Ultimately there have been dogs, cats, and other animals in video games for years. Putting the success of Pokemon aside, the idea of raising a pet in a video game has been heavily popular with hits like Tamagotchi and Digimon in the 90s, as well as Nintendogs and NeoPets in the 2000s. We can’t confirm that this is the sole reason for the recent trend but it’s pretty apparent that people have always liked taking care of virtual animals.
You could argue that with the higher graphical capabilities of modern games and the easier entry point to making games, it only makes sense that we get more dogs in gaming. We can animate them more nicely and make them look cuter and fluffier to better simulate the experience of bonding with a living creature.
It’s what comes naturally. A lot of people own a pet in real life so replicating a similar experience in a video game, even through a small petting mechanic, can give players a sense of familiarity that makes the game more relatable even if said dog is giant and has three heads.
Closing Thoughts

When it comes down to it, more games are including dogs to pet for the same reason a lot of recurring mechanics appear in-game video games, because people like them. In the middle of a deadly campaign for the fate of the world, sometimes it’s nice to have a few short minutes of brevity by petting a pup.
It is interesting to see how companies, are reacting to the influence of content creators and accounts like Can You Pet The Dog as well, however. They may not have started the trend but their presence certainly amplified the reach of it and if they’re able to use that reach to highlight more obscure titles with small animals in them, that’s not a bad thing either.
If you think about it, perhaps we as gamers are united by our love of dogs and other cute critters. If a game does indeed let you pet the dog, we gotta play it, we also gotta tell other people to play it. That is the power of the animal kingdom and having a cute dog that you can boop on the nose.

Three new explorer classes introduced by MapleStory M

A content update has been gone live on MapleStory M, providing players with a slew of new additions for players, primarily the three new explorer classes.

Various enhancements have also been introduced for this free-to-play MMORPG for the Android and iOS platforms, but for now let’s touch on the classes. Kicking things off is Shadower, a thief class who deals close-combat damage with a dagger. Then we get the Hero warrior class, whose specialities include being able to wield two-handed swords and axes as main weapons as primary weapons. Lastly, the Arch Mage is self-explanatory and uses Ice and Lightning magic to destroy enemies.

A new equipment enhancement system has been introduced as well int he new update. By extracting Emblem Traces from Elite items, you will be able to subsequently use these essences to elevate the abilities of Emblems much further.  The Exaltation system allows players to use Elite equipment that is identical to the base equipment or utilise Exaltation Stones as material during Exaltation.

To celebrate the upcoming Lunar New Year, MapleStory M will be introducing a number of class growth support events, whereby logging in will see players rewarded with various items and boosters that serve to bolster the new classes.

Because the developer is feeling extra generous, players who come online between 31 January 2019 and 14 February 2019 will be rewarded with tickets that drop from monsters, which can then be used to spin the Lucky Wonder Wheel for all sorts of goodies. The Detective Kemdi Event which runs during the same period will see players being able to use Code Hints to decode the safety box password and receive special rewards. During the Lunar New Year period itself, players are given the Golden Pig Hat accessory, Damage Skin and special Pet Package.

Another one that has been quite some time coming, Seeking The Pearl has finally been added to the roster, after making several appearances in events and stories of other girls. So let’s see how she stacks up against the rest of the cast.

As made known in various instances throughout the game, Seeking The Pearl is natural leader and betweener who is adapt at running the mile and short distances. That kind of flexibility is always good to have, especially since you can tweak her to be a chaser with little effort. Unlike some other girls whose skillsets dictate that you play a certain style anyway, Seeking The Pearl comes equipped with generic speed up abilities that will work in either of her preferred distances. Bonuses in wisdom and speed also makes Seeking The Pearl very easy to raise. That all said, she doesn’t appear to be very unique in her offering, so you may wish to hold out on rolling.
