As is typically the case, there are milestone rewards for pre-registrants. It has modest goals up to 50,000 users, offering enough currency for at least 8 pulls in the gacha, and one each of a 4-star and 5-star. This milestone count will also take into consideration the Traditional Chinese release coming out in Taiwan, Macau and Hong Kong.
LasDan centers around the protagonist, Lloyd Belladona, who hails from the village of Kunlan. He’s considered a weakling in his village, one situated in the most dangerous region of the world. As such, his power level is actually far higher than most, but the apparent cinnamon roll cannot be convinced of his true strength. The original light novel is by Toshio Sato, illustrated by Nao Watanuki. A 12 episode anime series by Liden Films concluded March 2021.

Deadpool Joins Marvel Strike Force!

Marvel Strike Force is a game for both the iOS and Android by FoxNext Games, which is of course, the child of 20th Century Fox. The game has already been out since March 2018 and with the recent invasion of the highly anticipated Merc with a Mouth, Deadpool in movie theaters, he has also invaded Marvel Strike Force. If breaking 4th walls aren’t enough, he might just break the game.

Check out the hilarious introduction of Deadpool below:

As Deadpool is known for his regenerative abilities, he is pretty much hard to kill. With his final ability that can revive him and heal him depending on how many debuffs he had on him, he’s just too stubborn for death. Nonetheless, he’s a brawler with a Dual Pistol for his basic attacks that can do bonus damage with its follow up attacks. He’s also invulnerable to Taunts because of his Bounty Hunter ability. With Hack ‘N’ Slash, he can chain damage onto multiple targets as well.

Currently, there’s only one way to acquire Deadpool which is to collect his Orb Fragments through the Merc with a Mouth event. Though it’s a limited time event, you can still obtain his fragments in other ways in the future. Also Cable will also be joining in as well because, what would Deadpool do without his new found friend joining him as well. Cable will be joining Deadpool on a later date which is on the 24th May, next week.

Blazblue Central Fiction Could Be Getting A Rollback Update

Eagle-eyed fans have spotted what could be proof that Arc System Works is planning to update Blazblue Central Fiction and give it rollback netcode.

UPDATE: Rollback is coming to both Blazblue Central Fiction, as well as Cross Tag Battle.

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

In a tweet (found via the r/TwoBestFriendsPlay subreddit), one user spotted that the Blazblue title is currently running a closed beta build.
Considering the game hasn’t gotten an update in years, there’s no telling what Arc System Works could be planning for the game, which was the last release for a mainline Blazblue title.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

That being said, only one older Arc System Works game has had this treatment before, and that’s Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R, which eventually saw the game being integrated with Rollback Netcode, a move that breathed fresh life into the title.

As you can see at the bottom of the image, Branches are essentially different builds of the game. A new branch for Developer testing has just opened, meaning the game’s developers could be working on a big new feature of the game.
That being said as we’ve already mentioned- there’s no proof for certain that Blazblue Central Fiction is getting a rollback netcode update. But it’s definitely getting something, and a netcode update seems more likely than new characters.
The Case For Rollback in Blazblue Central Fiction
It makes sense that Arc System Works would want to do this- Guilty Gear Strive and Accent Core both use the netcode, which facilitates smoother play over longer distances.
As we already mentioned, including it in Plus R brought a surge of new life into the game. Meanwhile, Strive, which launched with the title was universally praised for the netcode, allowing more players to connect with each other.
Rather than develop an entirely new Blazblue, updating the already beloved Central Fiction would mean not having to risk some of the backlash that the developers got with Guilty Gear Strive thanks to its simplified systems and gameplay.

GRID Autosport is a demanding game

Game developer Feral Interactive is still hard at work at its upcoming mobile racing game GRID Autosport, which is due for a release for the iOS.

The game has been in the works for quite some time, but with each passing day the release date for GRID Autosport creeps closer and closer. Up until this point, we have only pretty much gotten little nuggets of details regarding this graphically impressive racer, with things at this point looking very promising thus far.

Of course, the looks come at a price as GRID Autosport will only support iPhone 7 or newer and iPad Pros (with the exception of the 2017 9.7 iPad). Also, if you have not yet updated to iOS 11, you will not be able to play the game. In addition, the developer recommends that players have at least 8GB of free space before installing GRID Autosport, given that the base game and the free DLC packs will take approximately 6GB of space alone.

As previously alluded to with the Rise of X, Professor X joins the Battlerealm of Kabam‘s Marvel Contest of Champions. The ultimate mutant will guide you to the true ‘Garden of Eden’, showing off his prowess! Here is a quick bio of his in-game story:

Professor X believed in peaceful coexistence of mutants and humans, but this all changed when Moira MacTaggert revealed to him the inevitable demise of mutantkind, unless Professor X could change his ways. Under the new moniker “X”, he gave up his old dreams. No more would mutants endure the afflictions and prejudice of humankind. Under the formidable rule of X, the mutant nation of Krakoa was founded. And those who defy the nation must enter the Mindscape and face Professor X in a duel of mental strength.

Professor X channels his psychic power to Mind Control his Opponents, locking them from using Special Attacks and gaining power. As Professor X wins fights, he gains Cerebro Charges, boosting the effects of his powerful synergies.

DeNA has a new Pokémon game in the works for smartphones

Based on a recent DeNA financial briefing, it would appear that the publisher is working with The Pokémon Company to release a smartphone game based on the Pokémon license.

There is very little information to go on, other than the fact that it will be out before March 2020. More details are to be released at a later date. In any case, it is interesting to see what DeNA will be able to do with the IP, although there is a good chance that we are going to see something with a heavy emphasis on gacha.

Cuphead clones make their way to Android

Cuphead is perhaps one of the more recent success stories for indie releases, with the game having sold more than 300,000 copies for the PC, and an unspecified number on the Xbox One. The game has been heralded for its amazing gameplay and difficulty alike, in addition to its unique art style.

Being a successful game, it is inevitable that there are parties that wish to capitalise on it, and sure enough there are several Cuphead clones have already been released on Android. These clones are curiously named, going by the titles like Cuphaed Adventure (not a typo) Jump CupHead Jump!, and Cup Hero Head, among others. The copycats highlight the “classic action” gameplay and the art style, which are the two highlights for Cuphead.

The whole idea is to lure in unsuspecting fans who do not realise that Cuphead isn’t made available for Android in any official capacity. The reviews do reflect this of course, with many bad reviews suggesting that a majority of people who downloaded were curious. However, now that you know better, avoid these apps at all cost, lest you risk getting malware.

New Content

Similar to the previous title update, Monster Hunter Rise 3.0 update will add a new Apex monster, this time adding Apex Zinogre. The monster will have a new design, new gimmicks and unlike previous Apex monsters, Apex Zinogre will be available to fight individually as well.

Another big feature coming in the 3,0 update is the continuation and likely conclusion for Monster Hunter Rise’s story, picking up where the game left off previously.The team were mum on the details of the new story but it looks like it very much will still involve the two endgame Elder Dragons Ibushi and Narwa.
Quality of Life and DLC
Aside from that, this update also brings an assortment of quality of life features, such as the expansion of the layered armors available in the game. On top of that, as per our own shot-in-the-dark guess it looks like rampage skills will be expanded, as well as the ability to customize the Rampage Weapon’s appearance with what will likely be Layered Weapons.
Monster Hunter Rise will also be receiving a collaboration with Monster Hunter Stories 2, wherein having save data from the latter will allow you to unlock a special layered armor for your Palico.

Street Fighter 6 ‘s Logo Is Actually Stock Clip Art

Yesterday, fans finally got a glimpse at Street Fighter 6 – but more importantly, the fighting game’s logo since not much else was shown.

The reason fans were upset with the Street Fighter 6 logo is the sheer jump in art direction between it and previous editions. Street Fighter is a child of the 90s, with a laughably radical image to prove it as commandos throw sonic booms at karate men.

With Street Fighter 6, however, they’ve dropped all of that for a minimalistic MMA-style logo which Twitter user and Ars Technica Creative Director Aurich says they might not have even entirely designed in-house.
“The new Street Fighter 6 logo is $80 on Adobe’s Stock site I don’t even know what to say.”, they said. “I knew it was generic but I didn’t realize it was this bad. They searched for “SF” on a stock logo site and rounded a couple corners and added the 6. I cannot”.
Follow us on Twitter

Tweet to @GamerBraves

It seems as though someone at Adobe has caught wind of the backlash, since the link provided in Aurich’s tweet now leads to a dead page on the Adobe website.
It should be pointed out that there’s nothing illegal about using vector art for your logo. It’s just that when you’re one of the most popular fighting game franchises in the world, you’d almost expect something with a little more…. je na sais quas.
Still, the internet does as it is want to do and have been poking fun at the logo we did get, remarking about how the little 6 in the logo looks like an email notification rather than the next numbered entry in a beloved franchise.

Fate/Grand Order has its first Escape Room game

A rather interesting event has been announced by Type-Moon as it showcased its very first Escape Room game for Fate/Grand Order, which sees fans banding together to form a real-life party of six to solve a mystery alongside Sherlock Holmes and other servants.

As it is with games of this nature, players are required to work together to solve a mystery. What is different however is that every participant will be assigned a particular role, with one playing the Master while the rest will assume a servant class such as Saber and Caster. Players are given a total of an hour to solve the mystery before them.

The event will run until 26 August 2018, with three of the six venues for the event already sold out. For more information, be sure to head over to the main website. We definitely look forward to the first report on the event as it sounds very interesting, to say the least.

NieR Re[in]carnation CBT gameplay showcase

As we had previously reported, NieR Re[in]carnation had a closed beta test run not too long ago. A user who managed to get in has uploaded a rather lengthy video of its gameplay which you will be able to watch below:

To reiterate, we’ve already seen the whole exploration and running segments in NieR Re[in]carnation, and now, we get to see what looks like some form of battle system, maybe turn-based, maybe real time. Each character shown appears to have two skills, and what we can assume will have different classes, battling strange creatures in waves.

Looking closer, the skills do have their cooldowns, indicated by the border around the skill. There will be an auto battle function, and faster battle speed. The right most button may be a summon, but it wasn’t shown off in this video. The left most side indicates the creatures on the field, their HP dropping as you attack them.

The exploration isn’t limited to the main girl either, showing other characters walking across a 2D plane instead of the 3D shown off so far. These are probably the story sections for the characters in between the fights. There might be two parts to the game: the battle and 2D story segments, and the 3D exploration with the other girl.

To protect his family, Tristan heads to Edinburgh Castle and meets a host of new friends along the way.”
Drifting Home
Coming 2022

“Following the release of their first feature film Penguin Highway in 2018, Studio Colorido received worldwide praise for A Whisker Away, which was distributed exclusively on Netflix in 2020 and ranked in the top 10 most-watched films in over 30 countries. Now Studio Colorido is releasing their long-awaited third feature-length film, Drifting Home. In this summer adventure, sixth-graders Kosuke, Natsume and their friends enter a large public housing complex, which then begins to drift through the ocean with the children still inside it. With a visual style that takes the audience from reality to a fantasy world, the film features the familiar beautiful animations fans have come to expect of Studio Colorido.”
Netflix is certainly inversting a lot into it’s 2022 anime collection, and unlike Crunchyroll at least their stuff also comes out in SEA as well meaning we can all binge watch Jojo and Kotaro in peace.
Are you thinking of Netlix and chilling with any these when they come out?

The Callisto Protocol Review:  How To Consistently Fumble The Free Throw

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

The Callisto Protocol has a unique kind of promise to it- with Dead Space inexplicably in its DNA and Hollywood making up the rest of it, it feels like a game that’s trying to bring the true prestige triple-A Survival Horror experience.

I mean it’s not like triple-A survival horror doesn’t exist- just look at Dead Space 2 or even the very excellent Resident Evil Village. That level of resource allocation totally makes for a great horror experience. But when you get to that prestige level- one of needing to sell theatrics and drama, does survival horror of all things actually need that?

And even once you abandon that question, you’re left with a more upfront one: is The Callisto Protocol any good?
Unfavorable Comparisons
I really tried to get through the Callisto Protocol without comparing it to Dead Space, but the game doesn’t let you. From its similar design language (your HUD is baked into your character rather than the screen) to its premise (a remote location is overrun by a weird body horror zombie infestation, probably caused by the people in charge), you have no choice but to acknowledge the brief for this game was probably along the lines of “Make us a Dead Space but for Krafton”.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Despite being helmed by Dead Space co-creator Glen Schofield, it definitely feels like The Callisto Protocol has a fundamental misunderstanding of what was so great about those games. If they literally wanted to make their own “spiritual successor” to EA’s dead-then-not franchise I don’t think anyone would have been mad for it- instead what we get is something that feels like it started out as Dead Space but then was viciously snapped away in fear of lawyers getting involved.
Even the Dead Space-esque death animations lack a certain kick to them, since enemies barely do more than slap you until you die of embarrassment
You see this most in the game’s enemies- While Dead Space had the excellently designed Necromorphs- true emblems of the body horror moniker- The Callisto Protocol’s enemies are just generic zombies with at most two heads to make them extra spooky. It feels like no particular thought went into how to make them unique or clever, or even translate it into meaningful combat information.
You can shoot off their limbs, sure. But you don’t need to. In fact the game’s combat system basically discourages any kind of precision shooting, since it primarily wants you to be doing your shots as combo enders for your melee, which feature a snap to doing headshots.
The worst feeling is that the game has realized its enemy design is lackluster. You’re soon introduced to Mutations- now the zombies will occasionally sprout tentacles, which you’ll need to shoot to stop them from mutating. Mutate into what, you ask? A bigger zombie with the same generic moveset.
Shooting their tentacles doesn’t really feel as good when the game doesn’t give you any feedback beyond “and now they’re dead”.
It’s kind of emblematic of my whole disappointment with The Callisto Protocol- it constantly feels like it’s going to blow you away with some genius implementation, then it just… doesn’t. At one point in the game you’re brought to an underground colony, full of enemies who will only react to sound- it’s a clever enough idea, but the fact that they’re literally the same enemies you’ve always fought with a slightly crustier texture over them and significantly larger in number so you’ll use the game’s clumsy stealth takedowns feels less like “gameplay innovation” and more “We didn’t have the time to make actually interesting comabat encounters”.
Like A Dead Space
One thing I have to give some with-caveats praise to in The Callisto Protocol is it’s actual combat. It’s where the game is at it’s most unique, shaking the Resident Evil 4 But In Space of the Dead Space series to actually be something new. The game plays more like a brawler, where you’re expected to bob and weave out of enemy attacks and exploit openings with your stun baton. Get enough hits in and you can even cancel your swing into a gunshot, which snaps on to enemies for faster shooting.
The caveat? For every point of good-different the idea is, it’s a point of bad-different in execution. Instead of having a dodge button dodging and blocking are mapped to the movement stick, and as a result the game will not acknowledge any diagonal inputs for its system. It’s also not particularly good at giving feedback, since you can’t really tell if you successfully blocked an attack unless you’re paying minute attention.

Worst part is the rest of the game seems to have been designed almost independently from its combat system- despite being great for a low bodycount one-on-one combat encounter, there’s way more enemies than seem necessary. Now, I’m not against asking decent crowd control of the player, but Callisto seems to have done it in a way that it feels more like the game’s acknowledging that combat against crowds just isn’t fun, since so much of the game’s “crowd control” is more about using the GRP (that’s telekinesis, Kyle) to throw enemies into insta-kill situations.
That being said, what tools you get with the upgrades are actually pretty cool- if anything I’d like to see them expanded on in some kind of sequel, since you’re able to do things like perform counters after blocks, or even do charged heavy attacks. There’s good stuff in here, I just wish the game had another pass to think about how it could use it best.
At Times, Raw
That “needs another pass” criticism is way more prevalent than you’d think, too. A lot of small things in this game make the game seem unfinished, such as its bizarre save system. Basically, manual saves just don’t work. If you find an upgrade station right after a checkpoint, be prepared to have to make those upgrades every time you die and get reset, since there’s no way to re-save the game after you’ve spent all your credits.

There’s also the upgrade stations themselves- they make a lot of sense for a game built around exploration but The Callisto Protocol is so linear that many upgrade stations will simply go unused since after you move on to the next area, some sort of event will shut the door behind you. And you will be out of credits constantly, since costs scale on such an uncomfortable level that simply doesn’t sync up with the rate at which you earn them. In a sense this is the most realistic bit about The Callisto Protocol- not Josh Duhamel’s impeccable face, but rather the feeling of racing against inflation while putting your life on the line for literal peanuts.
Exploration in particular for The Callisto Protocol is just not fun. The game’s an elaborate corridor, and every time you do branch off it’s entirely bland and inconsequential. Heck, one time I did a whole room gauntlet and my only reward was a single audio log, which; thanks to the game’s bizarre rules, I had to listen to in the menu rather than while I was exploring the game.
Closing Thoughts

Suffice to say, considering my excitement for The Callisto Protocol, it might be up there as one of my biggest disappointments this year. Maybe I’m not the target audience? Considering how much the game leans on the performances of its two main leads maybe this was a game targeted at the kind of people who gush about cinematic games, and this one’s flavor just happened to be survival horror. That very well might be the case.
In a weird way I kind of want a The Callisto Protocol 2 out of this- one that’s more realized, and less afraid to lean into all the things it does right. Horror-Brawler is a unique idea, and I’d love to see more of it. Heck, intentionally baking gun combos into the game would also be a lot of fun, too. But as it stands, the game we ended up getting feels more like if Doom 2016 was forced to have a cover system.
It’s particularly hard to recommend to anyone for this reason- a lack of exploration means survival horror nuts are likely to give it a miss, but its experimental combat system also makes it harder to pass to more mainstream audiences.

                                        Pros

                                        Cons

                                        On a technical level, impressive

                                        Artistically boring

                                        Combat is unique

                                        ...But it's not shown off well

                                        You know it's trying to be Dead Space but without the good parts

Transformers: Earth Wars Brings Nostalgia With G1 Celebration Event!

Transformers: Earth Wars is a game for the mobile by Backflip Studios. Featuring the popular Transformers and Cybertron battles in a mobile game, players will also need to assemble their army, build a fortress and defend or destroy the enemy’s base. As the game was just released for the iOS and Android on June 3rd 2018, the game is rolling out it’s latest event, G1 Celebration, which features the nostalgic Generation 1 theme song, Transformer bots, loading screens and many more.

The G1 Celebration event will also bring the G1 Power Cores which are crucial to enhance a specific Bot and equip it with skills. For example, when your health drops below 30%, you become invulnerable to damage and stun effects for 5.7 seconds when the G1 Optimus Prime power core is equipped on Optimus Prime! Of course, Megatron gets a taste of that as well.

The gameplay is pretty much like Clash of Clans where you build your army of Autobots or Decepticons to destroy the enemy bases. However, beware as the bases are equipable with Power Cores as well which could proof to be difficult unless you have the right units to counter the strategy. You can also join Alliances to get some help with resources.
