[GameStart 2018] A Warm Meeting And Interview With Elise Zhang Of Mei From Overwatch!

Elise Zhang is the voice actor for Mei from Blizzard’s Overwatch. We were able to meet with her at the GameStart Asia 2018 held in Suntec Convention Centre in Singapore. With that, we also took the chance to have an interview session with her where we got to learn about her experiences and journey in becoming such an iconic presence in Blizzard’s Overwatch.

Elise Zhang (Mei – Overwatch)

Elise Zhang is a voice actor from China. Prior to becoming a voice actor, she always had an interest in voice acting ever since she was a child. As she was pursuing her Masters in Chemical Technology, she also took up voice acting courses during her studies. With her potential discovered and nurtured by her mentor, she became a voice actor right after she graduated her Masters.

She did not lend her voice only to Mei but to other characters from Blizzard as well, including Li Li in Heroes of the Storm and Alleria Windrunner in Hearthstone – both in the Mandarin dub. She also voiced Symmetra in the Mandarin dub as well! Other than Blizzard, she also voiced Chloe and Baby Grizz from We Bare Bears – and many other cartoons in China.
The Interview
At the GameStart Asia 2018 during a fine evening, we met with the glorious Elise Zhang in person. She was fun, comedic and lively during the interview. From there, we hit her with some of our questions – one being, “How did she got into voice acting and got the role of Mei?”
As mentioned earlier, she had an interest in voice acting ever since she was young. While she was pursuing her Masters in Chemical Technology, she also took up voice acting courses. After graduating with a Masters in Chemical Technology, she became a voice actor in a company that works with Blizzard frequently. From there, it was all due to her audition and talent that got her the role of Mei.

Though she voices Mei in Overwatch, she hardly plays Overwatch as she has never played any games before. She also humbly admits that she’s not really good at video games, so it wasn’t really fun for her. However, she still loves Mei as a character alongside with Winston as he’s also a scientist just like her! When asked if she’d ever feel awkward listening to her own voice in the game, Elise said, “Never! Because I hear my voice everywhere, in the city or on T.V. – I’m used to it.”
Prior to becoming a voice actor, English is not her strongest language. So Elise do face challenges when pronouncing certain English words for Mei. In some cases, she has to practice saying those words a hundred times before getting it right, but still could take 20 recordings to get the best one.
One of the most memorable moments in her career of voice acting as Mei is during the recording for Mei’s cinematic “Rise & Shine”. Because of the time difference between the US and Shanghai, she has to do the voice acting at 9 am – which is really early for her. She had to cheer herself up and get into the “Mei” mood but when she arrived at the studio and received the script, she had to tone the mood down as it was a sad and gloomy story which was unexpected for Elise.
Getting the role of Mei was not an easy task. As far as auditions go, there are two stages of auditions that Elise had to go through before being finally selected as the voice actor for Mei. There were no images of how Mei would look like and only a description of Mei. Upon handed over the reading script for Mei in English, Elise had to read them and portray as the character of Mei as she thought would fit the description – and she got it! Of course, there was supposedly one other girl who got shortlisted as well, but Elise got the part nevertheless due to her real life personality matching with Mei’s.

Speaking of Mei being seen as the “Ice Devil” within the Overwatch community, Elise was wondering why Mei would be called that as Mei is a character just like her in real life – bubbly, optimistic and a scientist! Some might even say that her laugh is evil, which she admits that it could be her fault (Sorry! Sorry, I’m sorry, sorry). But nonetheless, despite Mei being called an “Ice Devil”, Elise would like to think that’s because Mei is a strong character that fits the description – and she’s happy about that!
With her career on voice acting, a question of “Is there any other voice acting role you wished you could do?” was posed to her. She was the voice for Buttercup from Powerpuff Girls in the Chinese version, but Elise wished that she could’ve been the voice for Blossom. However, in Overwatch, she wished she could’ve done for D.Va! (She even impersonated D.Va’s voice lines ‘D.Va online!’ and ‘Nerf this!’ during the interview – how cute!)
Coming to a close, we asked if there was any wisdom she’d like to part to her fans who aspire to be a professional voice actor. To anyone who’s out there learning to be a voice actor, Elise advises to watch, listen and observe the reactions of people. As she never learned any theories during her course, she urges to learn from observations, remember them and try to re-enact them in your own personal way.
Fun-Fact!

She loves Disney movies especially Frozen and Tangled. She loves Mandy Moore who voice acted and sang in Tangled.
Elise was nominated Best Female Vocal Performance In A TV Special/Direct-To-DVD Title or Short of 2017 (People’s Choice – BTVA Community Choice). She was nominated next to Mandy Moore!
“A-Mei-Zing” is the best voice line that fit Elise in real life!
She would love to see a Beijing Opera skin of Mei with heavy make-up and costume.
Elise doesn’t do shopping a lot but she loves nature like the trees and the animals.
She would love to visit Malaysia in the future for the food – especially durians!

It was a fun and entertaining evening with Elise Zhang but like all good things, we must come to a close. To that, we thank Elise Zhang for her time with us. GameStart Asia 2018 has been a fun and amazing event that no one should miss and we hope to attend it again next year in 2019! We hope everyone had fun as well during the GameStart Asia 2018 and we hope to meet Elise Zhang again in the future!

Blue Archive players decrying censorship in global release

The global version of Blue Archive has been accused of censorship, after the program director promised no alterations to the art. In a comparison image from a player, it appears that the scene in question has been cropped / zoomed in for territories which are not Korea or Japan.

A comment says Blue Archive is already a niche game, and this censorship wouldn’t suddenly bring in more players to the global version. “This additional discussion and attention would never have happened if they didn’t do this,” another observes, which is true enough. Across two threads, the issue has garnered almost 1000 comments adding in their two cents at time of writing.
You can find plenty comments complaining about the community at large being “prudish”, while others yet grimly noting that this is merely the start. After all, the player is supposed to be a “sensei”, a teacher / authority figure, and the playable characters are “students”. When you remember that one of the future events features the students in bunny girl outfits, you can imagine the potential for more alterations. That’s not even mentioning any already existing “objectionable” designs, or the events in between the bunny girls.

Uncharted Movie Review: A Decent Adventure That’s Too Charted

The Uncharted movie in many ways reminds me of last year’s Disney movie ‘Jungle cruise’. A decent homage to the classic Indiana Jones-style adventure flicks with well-done action scenes and stock one-liners. It’s a good popcorn movie for when you don’t want to think too hard and just enjoy the spectacle.

The problem stems from when you start to remember that this is an adaption of a beloved Playstation video game franchise that, while also indulging in the tropes of the adventure genre, also surpassed them to offer something more. The Uncharted movie is ultimately harmless but really doesn’t capture what makes the games special.

The Golden Abyss
Uncharted stars Nathan Drake (Tom Holland) a bartender dreaming of traveling the world and looking for adventure, maybe even finding his long-lost brother Sam. He eventually meets thief and treasure hunter Victor ‘Sully’ Sullivan (Mark Whalberg) and convinces him to join him on a job searching for the lost treasure of the Magellan expedition.
The film follows very tried and true beats for an Indiana Jones-style adventure movie. It starts with a quick action scene before flashing back to Drake’s mellow dramatic childhood. He’s an orphan, his older brother left him and disappeared, then it jumps to the modern-day for different rounds of fighting, chasing and more talks about dreams and trust to hammer in the message.

On the surface, it does have the general marks on an Uncharted game. globe-trotting, hidden passageways in old monasteries, and about 3 different factions trying to backstab each other for the buried treasure but it feels like it’s going through the motions, following the steps of movies like Indiana Jones without really doing anything truly remarkable.
I do however like that the movie is very well-paced. It smoothly gets from scene to scene in a predictable but efficient manner, never dragging out longer than it has to and always keeping your attention. This alone made the film a fun watch as nothing ever felt dragged out and it moved between dialogue-heavy scenes and hard action scenes pretty seamlessly.
Among Thieves

Tom Holland and Mark Whalberg are both great actors, and I truly believe they did their best with the material they were given. The problem is that when watching the movie, you don’t see Nathan Drake and Victor Sullivan, you just see Tom Holland and Mark Walhberg.
Between this and films like 2021’s ‘Cherry’, Tom Holland seems to be really trying to diversify and play more adult characters, likely to prove that he can do more than play Spiderman. It’s an admiral effort but he still feels miscast as Nathan Drake. Nate in this movie is implied to be in his early twenties at least but Holland’s Drake still feels like a teenager trying to act like an adult. He lacks the sly confidence of the game Drake in favor of being more naive and idealist.
There’s a scene right at the beginning of the movie where he knocks a guy off a plane and awkwardly shouts out “oh, sorry!”, which feels like something that would come straight out of Peter Parker. And I like Holland’s Peter Parker, but he’s not Nathan Drake.
Mark Whalberg’s Sully doesn’t fare much better. Not only does he lacks the imagery of the character without the mustache and Hawaiian shirt but doesn’t really have the overall personality of Sully. He’s just kind of your typical slightly shady mentor figure that you could find in any movie.
Sully and Nate’s relationship also isn’t really developed. The two spend most of the time exchanging cheesy quips at each other and eventually learn a lesson about trust however it lacks that deeper bond of their game counterparts. The father and son dynamic that underpins their game relation, the knowledge that these two would travel the ends of the Earth for each other even if they’d never say it, that’s just not here. As a result, they just feel like generic adventure movie protagonists.
The other character all do a good job with what they’re given but likewise, the writing just has them filling out their respective roles. Sophia Ali does well as the love interest Chloe Frazer, and Tati Gabrielle does fine as the villain, but that’s really all they are, the love interest and the villain. They’re well-acted and even have some funny moments but you’re not going to see them as anything more than that.
And if you’re here for Antonio Banderas, don’t, he’s barely in the movie.
The Fight for Fortune

One thing I can say in Uncharted’s favor is that the actions scenes were great.
The fights have good choreography as well as variety. We go from hand-to-hand combat in a restaurant, trying to steal from a high-tech auction to some very satisfying chase scenes. The movie does a good job making each scene feel unique from the last and creates a sense of excitement you’d want out of an adventure movie.
I also enjoyed the use of the sets. The fight across the cargo hanging off the plane was a delightfully dynamic recreation of the Uncharted 3 chapter. The wholly original fight during the climax with two ships flying over the ocean suspended on Hellacopters was likewise pure spectacle at its best. Larger life action scenes incorporating ancient relics and modern-day tech. I’d love to play this scene in an actual Uncharted game and it was fun watching it play out in the movie.
The only problem I have with the fights is for a game where you spend at least 50 percent of your time shooting mooks in the face, Drake never actually fires a gun. They let him have a few PG kills like knocking guys out of planes and he even holds a gun at one point but he never shoots anyone with it. Sony really didn’t want to take any risks with this movie.
A Thief’s End
The best way I can describe this movie is that it’s a very Disney-fied version of Uncharted. Big-name actors, big special effects to bring in general audiences but held back by a strict need to be as safe and inoffensive as possible.
Our two leads are well-acted but they lack the charm and character of their game counterparts. Honestly, if you removed all the Uncharted references and instead called it “Spiderman and Marky-Mark’s Bizzare Adventure” not much would change. It would still be an entertaining but unremarkable, by-the-numbers adventure movie. The fact that it is called Uncharted however just reminds you of the story it could be.
The Uncharted Movie is a good little popcorn film, but it fails to make the jump to greater heights.

Pros
Cons

The movie is well-paced and keeps you entertained
The plot is unremarkable and takes no risks

Action scenes are dynamic and make good use of the sets
The two leads don’t feel like the characters they’re supposed to be

Uncharted is currently available in most cinemas including GSC and TGV.

Rovio announces Angry Birds Match

Famed game developer Rovio Entertainment has just launched the latest entry in its Angry Birds franchise in the form of Angry Birds Match. As you may have guessed from the name, Angry Birds Match is pretty much just your standard match three puzzle game which is based on the movie.

The green pigs are up to no good again, and this time around, they are trying their hardest to ruin the Hatchlings’ party, but with some assistance from the big birds, Red, Chuck, and Bomb, you will still be able to go on about your business.

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 101 – Perspective: Who’s Right About Skullgirls?

For the past week, the game-o-sphere has been awash with the latest hot goss to land on everyone’s laps. Skullgirls, a relatively niche fighting game had announced, 10 years after the title’s launch, a radical shift in artistic direction.

If you’re not caught up on the happenings of a niche entry in a niche genre, I’ll keep it brief: the original Skullgirls was an incredibly raunchy game, featuring a lot of classic anime-isms like upskirts, sexual aggression, and over-the-top imagery like one of its main characters basically being a Nazi princess or one of its only Black characters being violently assaulted by cops.

Considering how much the political and cultural climate had shifted over the years (as well as the leadership of the teams involved), the game’s Director Charley Price had a bombshell announcement- they’d be cleaning up their act, so to speak, altering art from the game to remove things like upskirts for underage characters, as well as toning down a lot of other scenes by making them look less like they need to be identified by six digits. The result? A seemingly torrential backlash.
If you’ve no stake in either side of this story you’re the person I want to talk to. Because I think there is a rational argument to be made for either side of this, and that’s what we’re going to look at today:

God Eater Resonant Ops ends service

God Eater Resonant Ops, a mobile offering of the God Eater series, ends service. The announcement was made on Twitter and can be seen on its official website. The official closing date is on 24 September 2020, giving it time to complete the current run of summer events, which has log in rewards. Purchase of premium in-game currency will cease 24 August 2020. The game managed to run 2 1/2 years.

The mobile title was a turn-based game compared to the more active time battle system of its console entries. The story was set 4 years after the end of God Eater 2 Rage Burst, pushing the story forward “at last” towards Fenrir Headquarters.

The God Eaters would be accompanied by “Dividiers”, new personnel who were meant to support them. Dividers can improve the physical capabilities of a God Eater, among other supportive benefits.
God Eater Resonant Ops ends service without seeing a global release, which is unfortunate. Perhaps fans would prefer a new console title rather than a mobile offering, but we probably won’t be hearing about that just yet, unless Bandai Namco surprises us? In any case, if you want to have a last hurrah, the summer log in event with customary swimsuits is running.

Controlling Kaito: Interview with Lost Judgement Kaito Files Producer Makoto Suzuki

Lost Judgement recently saw the release of its’ first story DLC in the form of the Kaito Files, a side story featuring everyone’s favorite arcade manager turned investigator, Masaharu Kaito, the partner of Lost Judgement’s main character Takayuki Yagami.

Makoto Suzuki
With the DLC launched to players worldwide, we got the chance to have a quick email interview with the producer of The Kaito Files DLC, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s own Makoto Suzuki, and ask him more about what his team had to do to put the player in Kaito’s shoes.

This is the first time that the Judgment series released a story DLC. What made Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio decide to make a story DLC for Lost Judgment?
Suzuki: We’ve received a lot of comments from our fans on social media that they would like to know about Yagami’s detective partner. We decided to create a story DLC to make the players happy, so we planned the project.

Since Kaito is the main character for the story DLC, is there a chance for us to see the other main characters such as Fumiya or Makoto have their own story DLC in the future?
Suzuki: Though there is nothing we can promise now, we have received a lot of messages from players showing their love for the DLC.
Can you elaborate more about Kaito’s fighting style concept?
Suzuki: Kaito is really tough. We take advantage of his toughness and imagine what kind of fighting technique Kaito might employ in a surprise attack on the Matsugane Family Office. Then we created these two fighting styles.
Since Kaito has a different approach to solving mysteries than Yagami (no gadgets), did the team feel pressured to write the stories differently to suit Kaito’s personality and methods better?
Suzuki: We didn’t feel pressured at all. In fact, we did enjoy imagining what action Kaito, the man with Primal Focus, might do when he discovered his former lover was having problems.
Were there any unique gameplay features for Kaito that didn’t make it into the DLC?
Suzuki: I thought it would be interesting if Kaito’s Primal Eye could sense the heat behind the wall, but I eventually gave up the idea since it seemed like too much, and adding that ability would make Kaito no longer be a human being.
The interview ended with a Message from Suzuki to all of Lost Judgement’s Asian fans
Suzuki: To all Asian fans, thank you very much for your patience.
Thanks to your kind encouragement, we are able to release The Kaito Files DLC. We hope you will continue to support the Judgment series!

And a big thanks to Makoto Suzuki for some insight into the story DLC, showing the world of the Yakuza and Judgement series through a fresh set of eyes.
Lost Judgement and the Kaito Files DLC are available for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox One X, and PC. The game is a spin-off from the Yakuza series which is available on most of the same platforms.

Razer gears up for SEA Games 2021 esports

Razer will be looking to take the lead for the 31st Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games) in esports in 2021. As the official esports sponsor for the 30th SEA Games, held 2019 in the Philippines, Razer was instrumental in lobbying for the inclusion of esports as a medaled event – for the first time in sports history. Now, in the lead up to the official inclusion of esports in the 31st SEA Games, Razer has worked with industry partners and regional esports federations to once again, succeed in the official inclusion of esports in this competitive tournament.

“Esports has always been a fundamental part of the Razer DNA. We have led the rally to elevate esports as a recognized medal event at the SEA Games in 2019 and 2021.”

“With esports now being confirmed as an official event again for SEA Games 2021, we remain committed to working together with the region’s national esports federations to drive its continued development and to prepare all participating athletes for the upcoming competitions.”

As such, Razer is working closely with partners to prepare athletes ahead of the Hanoi SEA Games 2021. Together with the national esports federations in the region and supporting the SEA esports community, Razer has organized a variety of initiatives such as Razer Invitational – SEA to provide training opportunities, support and a global platform to regional esports athletes. This includes working with VIRESA to sponsor the Vietnam team during the International Esports Federation Championship to train and gear up for the international stage.

“With the overwhelming support from Razer and federations, we’re pleased to share that esports is once again part of the SEA Games.”
“Many athletes have taken part in competitions to train for the upcoming esports event, despite not knowing if the games are confirmed. We are heartened by the dedication of the athletes and will pledge to level up esports in the region.”
Xuan Cuong Nguyen, President of the Vietnam Electronic Sports and Entertainment Association (VIRESA)
Razer Invitationals 2020 prepared athletes for the global stage
Razer continues preparing esports athletes worldwide for international medalled events, believing there is a greater need for inclusiveness and equal opportunities to be given to the amateur level. That resulted in the Razer Invitational – a first-of-its-kind tournament series, held fully online in light of COVID-19, enabling esports athletes from different skill levels to participate and gain regional experience.
Razer Invitational first kicked off with a Southeast Asian edition with the goal of preparing the Southeast Asian athletes for SEA Games 2021, prior to the confirmation of its inclusion. Working with industry partners and regional esports federations, Razer organized and launched an inclusive, yet highly competitive tournament that featured esports athletes from 10 countries including Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. It was the largest SEA esports tournament of 2020 and saw more than 500 teams participating with 10.5 million live stream views and 67 million social impressions.

“Along with Razer, we were able to bind the stakeholders, publishers and SEA Esports leadership into a community that has led to its equal recognition and coverage as traditional sports.”
“We’re extremely proud of how far the esports athletes and this community have gone full circle and enabled the opportunities that next year’s SEA Games will bring to the industry.”
Alvin Juban, Philippine SEA Games Union, Co-President & National Team Manager.
The fully digital tournament has moved to Latin America, with Europe games to run from 10 December to 30 January 2021.
As one of the largest esports brands in the world, Razer continues to champion esports’ growth and development. SEA Games 2021 is a key milestone for the industry and Razer looks forward to working with the various federation to solidify esports’ position as a legitimized and permanent medaled event in the biennial multi-sport event.

Human form Veldora is coming to Slime ISEKAI Memories

Coming hot on the heels of Diablo is the Storm Dragon, Veldora Tempest, who will be the next character joining Slime ISEKAI Memories. Unlike the other Veldora units in the game, this new Veldora, [Seal Releaser] Veldora Tempest will assume his human form as seen in the anime.

The in-game announcement for the [Seal Releaser] Veldora Tempest banner revealed that it will go live tomorrow, November 9 at 2:00 am UTC and will be available until November 30, 5:59 am UTC. Considering that this coincides with the end date of the Diablo banner, it is likely that [Seal Releaser] Veldora Tempest will also be a dark element character as that is the focus of the current event.

Together with Veldora’s banner, there will also be a new event chapter, The One Unleashed: Veldora’s Slime Observation. This is a follow-up to Interview with the Demon Butler.
While we still have no official info for his stats or skills, one could only wish that Veldora will bring his moves such as Hadouken and Kamehameha from the anime into Slime ISEKAI Memories.

Babylon’s Fall Had Only One Co-Current Player On Steam Last Week

Square Enix, and Platinum’s Games’ live service action game Babylon’s Fall has now fallen to an all-time low, with the game reportedly having one co-current player online in the past week.

According to Steam Charts, on Monday the 4th of May 2022, Babylon’s Fall fell to one player at 7:00 am. This is a far cry from the game’s usual average of 85 players a day, which itself fell off from its launch in March which had just over 200 players. As you can tell the game isn’t doing very well.

Babylon’s Fall has so far been a critical and likely financial flop, with many saying that the world and design feel generic, and the progression was needlessly confusing. It has since been rated the third-worst game of 2022 on Metacritic.
Despite this reception Square Enix has said that the game will be getting at least two more seasons of content which will add a new game mode to the title and make continuous improvements through multiple updates.
Babylon’s Fall is available on PS4, PS5, and PC.

[UPDATE] Harry Potter open-world action RPG leaked online

Rejoice Harry Potter fans, we have a good news for you! Apparently something great – a video game with Harry Potter themed is coming soon, probably on PC and consoles! A Reddit user, VapeThisBro has recently posted an alleged off-screen gameplay of an upcoming Harry Potter open-world action RPG on YouTube. You can check out the video here :

Update: The video has been taken down due to a copyright claim by Warner Bros., but here is a mirror version. Also, according to Eurogamer, the project is indeed real and currently in development with possible names like Harry Potter Magic Awakened.

Am told this is from a yet to be announced RPG currently titled Harry Potter Magic Awakened, although other titles including Magic Forever are also in the mix. Other Potter games are also thought to be on the way @TomPhillipsEG @ComicBook #HarryPotterMagicAwakened #HarryPotter https://t.co/bgXliE0Hme

He also posted some info about the game as below:

You are a newly arrived 5th year student to Hogwarts that demonstrates a latent gift for magic with a unique ability to track and identify remnants of a pottant ancient power.

On your quest you will craft potions, master new spells, and discover fantastical beasts. You will battle Dark Wizards, Goblins, and other supernatural enemies and uncover the truth about your destiny – the Fate of the Wizarding World lies in your hands.

He claims that he recorded the video during focus test in America. As there was a rumor saying that Avalanche Software was hiring for someone who “has a deep understanding of British culture and grammatical presentation” back in April 2017 as well, we could safely assume that this video is legit.

The Wandering Village Early Access Impressions – We Are All Going To Die In Ghibli-land

The Wandering Village meanders into Steam Early Access 14 September. This charming title from Stray Fawn Studios is a Kickstarter success story, surpassing its goal within 24 hours back in 2020. The game is, in essence, a city-builder sprinkled with “rogue-like” elements. Your villagers have made their home on the back of a sentient creature known as Onbu, and together, man and Onbu traverse the world avoiding toxins and trying not to die in general.

OPTIONS
When it comes to tweaking the graphics, it’s quite basic, easy enough to list:

Vertical Sync
Shadows
Anti-aliasing

What’s more interesting is the Twitch chat integration: connect to your stream and your villagers can be named by chat, and your viewers can also decide Onbu’s movement.

REMEMBER Nausicaä
The game’s inspirations are pretty clear. The colour palette is wonderful, strongly invoking nature, with the bright, lush green spots, with spots of murky darkness from infested, poisonous areas. The music is quite calming, but I do feel it quickly turning foreboding once you start hitting rough patches. There’s not much I feel I can say about its looks; you can see it for yourself.
The menus are serviceable: they’re legible and aren’t cluttered. I’ve played the demo before; aside from some tweaks to sprites, it’s just about what I remember of it.
AND SO ON ONBU, HELP ME
As mentioned, the game has rogue-like elements, with the primary gameplay being a city builder. The randomness basically consist of the following:

Random distribution / placements of resources on Onbu
Nodes / events on the overworld that may grant resources or be event encounters that may offer choices with semi-random results, drawing from a pool related to the node
The biomes that Onbu may walk past

All the while, you’ll need to be managing your villagers and Onbu. What’s good for the people does not equate to something Onbu likes.

VILLAGERS
The little guys will be needing housing and food, and medication should they get poisoned. Death awaits them should they fall too ill, or starve. If they’re not happy, they’ll leave Onbu too. If you happen to come across settlements to recruit more people, they’re unlikely to join you if the satisfaction threshold isn’t met either.

They can’t really have specialized roles at this state. It’s more like having the buildings in place and assign a number of people to work at it. Some buildings require a fixed number of people to be at it, so there’s less flexibility there. The Worker Post can allow you to set a number of villagers to prioritize certain tasks, but honestly I found this fiddly at best. The game allows you to set certain areas or actions to be high priority, but if I didn’t have the materials, I find it hard to tell if they’re properly processing the things needed to get it done.
To explore overworld nodes, you’ll need the Scavenging Post to be able to send out teams to get the goods.

VILLAGE
Time is needed to research more new buildings, and sometimes Knowledge that will have to be scavenged from the overworld. Being on Onbu, your starting resources and space is already quite limited. Fortunately, deconstruction is possible, and villagers will automatically remove anything in the way of the construction site. That’s not as handy as it could be, as buildings will naturally have certain requirements. Farms, for one, want green grass so that you can mark the planting plots. Certain Onbu-related buildings can only be built near the edges, or Quarries only able to be placed adjacent to the rocks on Onbu’s back, that kind of thing.

I tried to have roads to make the little guys walk faster, but with only basic dirt ones, it’s hard to tell if it’s effective. Whatever the case, make sure to have your resource collectors and farms all under way as certain spots of weather and biomes are going to affect the village. It could be the temperature messing with your crops’ growth, the desert stopping all water collection, or even freak storms that destroy your buildings. That’s not forgetting the clouds of poison that can infect everything on the surface: harvest them on time or burn them before they spread too far, or your villagers are going to fall sick and die. Hope you have doctors or buildings that can protect them!
There are buildings that can drill into Onbu to extract more resources, which won’t make it happy. Speaking of Onbu…
ONBU
This gentle colossus is a living being that walks along straight paths. If it trusts you enough, you can issue it commands, namely, changing direction at crossroads, or having it sleep. You must keep it well fed and healthy, and of course, have it trust you. Not listening to commands to change direction is one thing. When it gets real mad, it’ll shake its back and destroy your buildings. When provided the opportunity, or just simply not being taken care of well enough, it’ll just sleep and eat when given the opportunity.
The whole symbiotic relationship ain’t just for show.

MAP
Split into colour-coded biomes, each of the areas have their respective temperatures and humidity to make managing your resources a miserable affair. Scavenging could be the difference in having the necessary resources or Knowledge for research. On occasion, there will be random events with multiple choices for goodies or just a bad time. Postponing your choice is allowed to a certain point for some events, otherwise they will time out.

#ONBUSTRUGGLES
The funniest thing to me is that Novice is deceptively hard due to not having difficulty modifiers. For Adept and above, you can set it to not have your Villagers or Onbu die, which gives you the chance to practice your prioritization. I think there’s quite the steep learning curve at this stage. One misstep feels like it could snowball out of control rapidly. See, while I could ignore my villager’s needs to a degree and Onbu wouldn’t die, that doesn’t mean either of them are going to be happy. Onbu broke all my stuff and my villagers spent way too much time trying to repair and I couldn’t get anything up to make Onbu happy, and it just collapsed from there.
While there doesn’t seem to be too many mechanics, it’s those few that are so intertwined that should one piece fail, everything goes.
The spreading infection.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
Being terrible at the game does not help with the sheer pressure in keeping things afloat. For those of you looking for a challenging city builder spiced up with random elements, I will recommend The Wandering Village. There’s no story as yet apart from migrating to greener pastures away from poison, so it’s like an endless city builder where you survive as long as you can, till this changes in future updates. Hope you don’t mind restarting repeatedly when you encounter some suboptimal layout.
Good luck, take care of the colossus, and don’t die!

In case you did not watch the movie, Alita: Battle Angel is based on a manga series by Yukito Kishiro in 1990. Alita is a half human cyborg who had lost her memories after getting torn apart and left abandoned on a wasteland. Cyborg scientist Dr. Dyson Ido then brought her back to her lab and revived her. She soon found herself living in a harsh world where the strong prey on the weak.

We finally have the first glimpse of the gameplay, and for better or worse, it is very fanservice-centric. The core gameplay seems to involve conversing with Mikoto herself, and depending on the choices you make, you will either gain or lose friendship points.

Once you reach a certain friendship level, you will be able to unlock more dialogue options, and Mikoto will start texting you, so yeah, this looks to be a dating sim of sorts set in the A Certain Scientific Railgun universe, which isn’t a bad thing at all. This should be a good way to occupy your time until the anime starts again.

According to the video, Upin and Ipin were in fact, real people who passed away in a road accident. The video proposes the theory that the events that took place in the Upin & Ipin cartoon are the hallucination of Opah, the twin’s grandmother who had to deal with the aftermath of their deaths.
Accompanying this theory are the graves of Upin and Ipin. The tombstones, which are believed to be located in Indonesia, reveal that Upin has passed away on August 6th 1995, while Ipin passed away a year later on 2nd April 1996.
The story gained tremendous traction in Indonesia and even trended on Twitter.

The Black Knight rides into Marvel Super War

Come 19 March, the Black Knight will ride into the Wakandan battlefield of MARVEL Super War. He was revealed on the official Marvel Super War Facebook, with the following description:

Wielding the Ebony Blade, Dane Whitman, the Black Knight, shoulders both the dark past and the bright future of his family.

Through many trials and tribulations, the Black Knight has become an important member of the Avengers due to his perseverance and dedication.

On March 19th, Black Knight (Class: Fighter) will make his debut in MARVEL Super War!
The Black Knight has a long and storied history, even if he may not be a mainstream Marvel character. Dane Whitman received the titular role from the former Black Knight, Nathan Garrett, his uncle. The previous Knight had a less than stellar track record, Dane’s uncle having had confessed to his nephew of a life of crime. On his encounter with the Avengers, Dane was thought to be his uncle. While he assisted the Avengers, Dane did not join them, annoyed by their distrust. They did later get on better terms, but that’s a story best you learn for yourselves.

Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key Review – Closing the Chapter of A Grand Adventure

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key is Gust and Koei Tecmo’s upcoming game for the Atelier franchise. Atelier Ryza 3 marks the third and last game in the Ryza series and launches for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC on 23rd March 2023.

Key Plot
Ryza 3 tells the story of a mysterious island that had suddenly appeared not far away from Kurken Island, the hometown of Ryza, the main heroine. While Ryza was in her process of alchemy synthesizing, she unintentionally created a certain key.  A mysterious voice then appears in Ryza’s mind, seemingly luring her to a certain place. With the key in her hand. Ryza’s third summer adventure is about to begin.

Equivalent Exchange
If you’re familiar with the Ryza series, you’ll notice that both the combat and synthesis system are quite complicated. But in Ryza 3, the game lets players play in a complicated or easy way. Let me explain.
The game uses a fast pace turn-based combat where you’ll have three main characters in the front row fighting off the mobs, two switchable back row characters, and lastly the reserved characters. Players can switch and only control one front row character at a time, using normal attacks to accumulate AP, which can be consumed to cast skills.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

During combat, the other two non-controlled characters will fight on their own, and players can switch between Supportive and Aggressive mode to decide whether your teammates will consume AP to cast skills, because AP is shared between all front row characters. In Supportive mode, you can decide the usage of AP for each character, while in Aggressive mode your front tow characters will automatically consume AP to cast skills.
Additionally, your other teammates will request for either physical or magical attacks depending on which character you’re using, this is called Action Orders. Meeting their requirements will allow them to release powerful skills and players will also need to use skills to accumulate CC points to use items.
Completing Action Orders will rack up Order Counts, which lets you activate Order Drive. Activating Order Drive allows your character to perform powerful skills, and this even applies for characters who don’t participate in combat. Combat would usually look like this: performing basic attacks to accumulate AP to cast skills and complete Action Orders; where you can at least get a chain of 3-6 attacks.
However, if you’re not a big fan of the combat, that’s fine too. You can choose to ignore combat and focus on exploring, gathering materials while completing the story quests. Monsters in the overworld will chase you down, but they’ll lose aggro after a certain distance. Bear in mind that monsters are more aggressive at night, so it’s advisable to explore during the day if you want to avoid combat.
Happy Synthesizer
For those who are unfamiliar, the Synthesis System is this game’s process of alchemy. As long as Ryza learnt the recipe and has the material she needs, she’ll be able to create any item. Items that can be created using the Synthesis System include all aspects of combat and exploration. Weapons, equipment, combat items, tools for gathering, etc. You name it, she can make it.
Materials required for the Synthesis System are divided into two types: Essential and Enchanted. As long as there’s essential materials available, items can be made. While enchanting materials can increase the quality or effect of your items to the next level. If your material is in a higher quality, you can transfer its trait to the item you want to make, thus increasing the effectiveness.
There are tons of different values and effects of materials may create items in so many different states that two identical items might not be the same. Players can take their time to explore the world and find materials that they want and create the items that best fit their playstyle.
After each Synthesis, players will get SP along with the item that was made. SP is used to upgrade the skill tree, which allows players to learn more recipes, improve efficiency of gathering, the quality of gathered items, etc. The SP you gain through Synthesis isn’t a lot, so players can opt to complete quests to get higher SP.
Summer Adventure
The World map in Ryza 3 is divided into four regions, where the area within the region doesn’t need any loading process to cross over. Players have a variety of ways to travel around places, from sprinting, swimming, zip lines, and even riding mounts.
Players can now gather material while travelling the lands without needing to stop, aside from needing to change tools because different types of materials will need different tools. An interesting thing to note is that you can get more than one material from one source. An example being when using a staff on a tree you get you fruits, but using an axe on the same tree you get you logs. Even when the materials are from the same tree, they’ll have different stats, which is important for Synthesis when making different stat items.
Riding a mount around will limit the way of gathering material where some will require you unmount before you can gather, which can make things inconvenient. Aside from that, you don’t have to worry about a stamina system or taking any fall damage (Looking at you, Genshin Impact), which makes exploration very liberating.
There are also different types of quests where you can find throughout your journey in Ryza 3. There’s the Random Quests that are time-limited and appear randomly, there’s Normal Quests where the name suggests; and the World Quests that focuses on one specific region that lets you know more about the culture of the place. All these quest will reward you SP upon completion, which is important in upgrading your skill tree fast.
The Key
The key is a key item that is essential in Ryza 3, not just for plot purposes, but also be integrated into three main aspects of combat, exploration, and synthesis. The addition of the key isn’t considered as a completely new and independent system, but instead based on those three aspects of the game system and acts a support. As an example, the key in combat is considered a buff where using different keys will result in different attack effects.
When it comes to exploration and material gathering, different keys may can provide varying adventure effects. Some keys can also unlock small areas or Supply points that are scattered around the world to get more material.
As with Synthesis, it works the same as with exploration and combat where it increases the stat, opening more possibilities to create a more unique and high quality item.
You can get a key by using the original key to create a key in each landmark. Using landmarks to create keys may consume the energy of the area, but it will refill back as time passes.
Verdict
All in all, Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key is an accessible game for all kinds of players. There may be some players who just want to play the game just for the character design and story, but are turned off by the game’s seemingly complex system. So, even if you’re completely new to the Ryza 3, the game is designed to make sure that there’s no barriers to stop you from enjoying the game. There’s even a Prologue Movie that you can watch that sums up everything that happens in the first two games.
The game also offers extensive customisation in terms of items that players can make to fit in their playstyle, since materials in the game are varied and can be created in so many possibilities. Slap that with the keys and the possibilities are endless.
My main gripe with the Atelier Ryza 3 are the vague quest descriptions. I often find myself scratching my head trying to figure what the quest entails and wish it would be more specific. An example, I once followed the main quest to find a specific material, but the game didn’t tell me that I needed to defeat specific monsters that dropped the material I was looking for, resulting in extra time being spent not looking at Toridamono’s glorious character designs.

                                        Pros

                                        Cons

                                        The game has a lot of (t)highs

                                        Vague quest descriptions

                                        Accessible to both new and hardcore players

                                        Navigation aren't as clear

                                        Customisation is limitless
