Tekken 2 Suddenly Costs $9,999 On The Playstation Store

Playstation users have woken up to discover Tekken 2 and other Playstation 1 classics priced far more than they probably should be on the PlayStation Store, with the fighting game being listed for $9,999.00 USD.

I suppose those King of Iron Fist Tournaments don’t pay for themselves.

It’s not just Tekken either. The Playstation classic version of Mr. Driller has also skyrocketed in price. Perhaps climate change is making those oxygen tanks more costly.

So the new PS Plus games are popping up as I’m searching the PSN store and Tekken 2 and Mr. Driller are $9,999.00 each. pic.twitter.com/JWOgIAQqXi
— Tyler Courtney (@TylerJamesBaeDN) June 13, 2022

We took a look and the PlayStation Store ourselves and found that the price of Tekken 2 was back to normal meaning that the issue has likely been fixed.
It’s good that PlayStation managed to resolve the issue before more people found out and even potentially attempted to buy the games. Tekken 2 may be a good game but I doubt most people think it’s sell-a-kidney levels of good.
Both Tekken 2 and Mr. Driller are available as part of the higher Playstation Plus subscription tiers.

MasterRamen – The Backbone Of eSports In Malaysia

Today, we have a special guest for you. Someone who has made the extra effort to make known eSports in Malaysia. He has brought his knowledge of eSports and made it happen in our land of Malaysia, to make it as big as it is right now. It is none other than MasterRamen, also known as Firdaus Hashim. It is thanks to him that we get support from the government and the birth of our Asian eSports organization. Currently as the Vice President of Mineski Events Team Malaysia, he is also the founder of Esukan Page.

So if you want to know more about him, here’s our interview with MasterRamen below:
*For the Malay version, click here OR for the Chinese version, click here.
Q. Since when did MasterRamen begin venturing into the world of gaming and the eSports industry?
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

A. I first gotten myself involved in the world of gaming since I was very young. Back then, I used to play games during my free time. Once Dota2 was launched, I started to get myself into the eSports industry. Started from lowyat.net forums and now with MET.
Q. How is the eSports growth in Malaysia so far?
A. Malaysian eSports has been growing tremendously. In the past 5 years, we have never imagined eSports would be aired live on our television. The prize pool was frowned upon by non-gamers. But now with the help from the government and other private eSports organization, it has become a new phenomenon amongst the youngsters. Many tournaments were happening every week in every eSports genre. From small tournaments to big ones. From University level up to International level.

Q. Tell us a little bit about MasterRamen’s journey to bring up the eSports scene in Malaysia.
A. At first, I was active in the eSports arena in the Southeast Asia region. However, as I looked back in Malaysia, there were no active organization or communities that focuses in growing the eSports scene locally. That is why I have created an eSports community in Malaysia and gave focus in many local events to open the community’s eyes about eSports in Malaysia. The hardwork has paid off when many local events were organized and attracted the government sector which gave existence to the Selangor Cyber Games and Malaysia Cyber games. Other than that, I have also gave my advises to many other organizations and individuals who are interested in growing the eSports scene.
Q. What is MasterRamen’s perspective towards some event organizers who failed to pay their workers and contestants? Is there any way to overcome such issues?
A. Organizations that organized the eSports event and did not pay after the event are a thorn in the eSports industry. They have spoilt the efforts of other organizations that are working hard to grow the eSports scene in Malaysia. The victims are the young ones who look forward in high spirits in the eSports scene. We have to take action against them so that such an issue will not repeat itself.
Q. In MasterRamen’s perspective, what actions should the community/brand take to show their support on eSports and what are the challenges that they will face?
A. eSports activities stems from video games. However video games have always been frowned upon by society. This is the biggest challenge in the world of eSports. The community/brand have to present the positives of eSports and promote in a healthy way. We have to promote a healthy eSports culture so that it will not be seen negatively by society.
Q. What are the responsibilities of a streamer or an influencer to help promote eSports?
A. The streamer and influencer phenomenon is growing exponentially at this moment. There are more and more youngsters who love to watch streamers playing games. Their main responsibility is to show a healthy culture, instead of smoking or vaping while gaming live. Also, never curse and present an unhealthy culture during live. This is important to elevate the eSports façade as we do not what society to see that the world of eSports is unhealthy and will destroy the youth’s lifestyle. Same goes to influencers as well. Never show too much skin when endorsing as an influencer. We have to remember that there are plenty of youngsters in the world of eSports who are still innocent and should be shown as a good example by their idols.

Q. In average, how much does a shoutcaster or a pro player make? Is there any sustainable wager for them?
A. Currently, the wages for a shoutcaster is not stable yet. They are still reliant on organizations and events. Though there are events, there’s still no minimum wage which is dependent on the level of event which is from RM 300 to RM 1,000 per day in Malaysia. Pro players are also dependent on the level of tournaments. On an international level, they can earn up to RM 8,000 per month excluding their winnings. While there are some who earn more than RM 20,000 per month. However, for players in the local or SEA level, their wages are below RM 3,000 and some have no pay at all.
Q. What are MasterRamen’s sweetest and bitter memories over the course of raising the eSports awareness?
A. The sweetest memory for me was when I got to travel out of country for the cause of eSports. I was able to visit many different countries like America, France and others. The bitter memory was when Arrow Gaming, my previous team as manager, was involved in a scandal for fixing games which became the topic of many during the event.
Q. Will becoming part of a professional eSports team be a sustainable career (coach, pro player, manager)?
A. At this moment, it is still not stable yet unless you have been part of a team that has succeeded on an international level. In Malaysia, we can even count on our fingers the number of teams that gained financial support to fully pay the players. However, I believe in the future, we will have more chances arising and a career as a player or a coach can be stable enough to be a career option.
Q. Any advises or words MasterRamen would like to convey to the community who’d like to venture themselves into the eSports industry?
A. Do not give up easily. Continue to work hard and always improve yourself. Never forget where you come from and lessen the negative culture of the industry.

Thank you MasterRamen for your sharing in the interview. We hope that the eSports scene in Malaysia will continue to grow and be well known in every corner of the world!

The six-volume graphic novel of Scott Pilgrim was released between 2004 and 2010. The comic takes a lot of inspiration from anime and manga, right down to the tankōban style formatting of each volume with black and white illustrations.
Scott Pilgrim is the story of an average 20-something Scott Pilgrim who soon starts dating the elusive Ramona Flowers however in order to date her, he must first defeat her 7 evil exes and undergo a journey of self-discovery along the way.
The series has since been adapted into an aforementioned 2010 movie by Edgar Wright (Baby Driver, Hot Fuzz) as well as a video game by Ubisoft which was infamously taken down from online stores and took years of fan demand for it to be returned. You can now play the game on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Switch.
There is currently no release period for the Scott Pilgrim anime but more will likely be announced closer to the release date.

Nothing else has been announced regarding the project, including whether or not it would focus on only the mainline Cells At Work series or include its spin-off, Cells At Work! Code Black.
The Cells At Work! Game was announced during the Joint Cells At Work! Station program, which aired on Sunday.

The Cells At Work! franchise has had a life that can only be described as meteoric. Starting out as a humble manga about personified cells in 2015, it would later go on to get an anime. Since then, it’s gotten a spin-off, Cells At Work! Code Black, and it recently announced the end of the mainline manga with a special on Covid-19.
The manga is set to end January 21st, though the second season of the Cells At Work!! anime is currently airing.

This also isn’t the first Digimon Survive rating hint as Australia’s rating board also added a page about the game about a month back. Here it was rated PG. Digimon Survive has been missing in action since it was announced back in 2018 but these are strong hints that it may be coming back fairly soon.
For a reminder, Digimon Survive is supposed to be the latest Digimon video game. It is going to be a part strategy, part visual novel game about a group of students trapped in the digital world with limited supplies and a whole lot of monsters that want them dead. Of course, they’ve got their own Digimon partners on their side.

With all the recent Digimon news like the advent of the new anime Digimon Ghost Game, Bandai Namco has a definite interest in the brand, and getting Digimon Survive into store shelves is likely a part of that. Hopefully, we’ll be seeing more of the game in the future.

Set in a post-apocalyptic setting similar to that of Mutant Year Zero, Miasma Chronicles feature a a pair of brothers as its 2 main protagonists—Elvis Ashlee (played by Daniel Amerman) and Diggs (played by Byron Marc Newsome). Interestingly enough, Diggs appears to be a robot as opposed to the more human-looking Elvis.

According to the developers:
The one thing that we learned with both titles was that our fans really enjoyed world building and interesting characters. So, for Miasma Chronicles we wanted to push ourselves even further and add a lot more detail and narrative systems into our game world. We also made a big effort to make the game playable by a wider audience without losing what makes our games special. We also took note of feedback both externally and internally to make the gameplay even tighter than in our previous offerings.

Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Stone Ocean Ep 1-12 Review – The Jailhouse Rocks

Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure returns with Part 6: Stone Ocean. Unlike previous seasons, Jojo Part 6 is a Netflix licensed anime meaning that the first twelve episodes of the series have premiered together at the start of December before broadcasting later in January of 2022. As you can expect for such a critical beloved series, Jojo Part 6 is very much worth your time.

For the first time in the series, we have a female Jojo, Jolyne Kujo, daughter of Part 3 protagonist Jotaro Kujo. She’s been sentenced to Green Dolphin Prison for a crime she didn’t commit and soon finds herself trapped in a more devious plot as her father’s memories and stand are stolen by the elusive new villain White Snake (or Pale Snake according to the subtitles). Jolyne and her allies will have to find Jotaro’s memory, beat the various stand users inhabiting the prison, and eventually escape the Stone Ocean.

Welcome To Green Dolphin Prison

The opening ‘Stone Ocean’ by Ichigo once again returns to the CGI openings of parts 1-3 and it looks and sounds amazing. I love the girl punk band feel of the song, it perfectly suits Jolyne’s character.

In general, the already stellar animation seems to have been taken up a notch. The character’s facial expressions and backgrounds seem even more detailed and the fight scenes are flared with more color and dynamic camera angles. It’s amazing just how they were able to make a place as dreary as a prison seem to pop with style.
Speaking of the prison, I often hear Stone Ocean get criticized for being stuck in one location but I don’t mind this too much. A big part of what makes Jojo interesting is the strange characters and enemies the cast meet on their adventure and this prison is filled with a bunch of weirdos. There’s no escape from them. The claustrophobic feel of the prison where enemies can literally be around any corner makes for a thrilling ride across each episode.
Like Father, Like Daughter

I really enjoyed Jolyne as a protagonist. She has a wide range of emotions and reactions which make her fun to watch and easy to route for. She seems hotheaded and brash but she can also be very kind, thoughtful, and even kinda dorky at times. You buy that she’s a teenage girl who’s trying to come to grips with her life going completely out of control and all the pent-up anger that comes with it.
With the supporting cast, Ermes Costello makes for a cool big sister figure to Jolyne with a really interesting stand in Kiss (Smack). F.F is just adorable and that’s all I’ll say about her due to spoilers and the mysterious young boy Emporio makes for an enduring kid that manages to come off as believably idealistic without being annoying.
Like with many Jojo casts, Jolyne and her allies play off each other well, both in terms of some witty comedy but also more in dire scenes, presenting a great sense of comradery that sells the viewer on their friendship. I’d hang out with these guys, they’re a blast.
Jotaro also returns and he’s in good form. While Jotaro has often been criticized for not having much personality (something I don’t agree with), we see in Stone Ocean that his stoicism has led to trouble connecting with his daughter. Their interactions together have a sense of uneasiness but underneath the fire and ice dynamic, it is easy to see that both Kujos truly care about each other even if neither are very good at expressing it.
Yare Yare Dawa

Finally, there are the action scenes. Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Stone Ocean continues to refine and build on the traditional stand battles. The stands here feel incredibly creative, they bring some new unorthodox ideas that in turn lead to innovative uses of the different prison facilities and well-planned strategies from both heroes and antagonists to overcome each other.
All of this while still making use of the usual Jojo style of finding an everyday activity or object and turning it into a deadly confrontation. Seriously, they managed to make a game of catch into the deadly mind game. That’s Jojo for you.
The minor stands user villains causing these fights, while not super developed, made for fun opponents. Mostly in how creepy a lot of them are. You can tell Araki had fun writing a bunch of unhinged criminals with character-appropriate superpowers.
The main villain, White Snake (I won’t spoil his real identity) is a shady, menacing figure whose presence is made known early on. I really like how hands-on he is, personally finding more stand users to attack the heroes and going out of his way to get rid of Jolyne as opposed to the more wait-and-see approach of previous villains. You can tell he’s going to keep the Jojo team on their toes.
Stone Ocean

At the end of the day, Stone Ocean is still Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. If you’ve liked the previous Jojo parts, you’ll like this one. If you didn’t then most of the common criticisms of the series will still apply. It’s still incredibly over the top, and is very liberal with its use of physics which I know can rub some people the wrong way but that’s just the kind of series Jojo is, you either get into it or you don’t.
I feel these first twelve episodes are off to a good start with a strong main lead, a fun supporting cast, and the wildest stands battles we’ve seen in the series yet. I binged the series in less than a day and I have no regrets in doing so. The only problem now is that I have to wait for the rest of the series to come out.

Genshin Impact Nendoroids Announced Featuring The Travelers

Genshin Impact Nendoroids have been announced, finally answering fans calls for figures from the popular gacha game. The game’s first debut into collectible figures will see two of them added to the growing list of Nendoroid figures.

At this year’s Wonfes, Good Smile Company announced they would be producing Nendoroids of the Traveler, with one for each of the twins, Aether and Lumine.

Sadly, the figures are still very early in development, and no prototypes were shown at the showcase event. No release date was given either.
UPDATE, 29/5/2021: Here’s your first look at the Traveler Nendoroids.

Fans have been clamoring for more merchandise of Genshin Impact since the game’s launch, with some fanmade sculpts often being mistaken for official merchandise.
Still, partnering up with Good Smile Company for Genshin Impact Nendoroids is a bold move, and could see lots more figures from the game’s huge roster of characters in the near future, should this go well.

Aether And Lumine are the twin protagonists of Genshin Impact, being the male and female playable options at the start of the game. Depending on who the player picks, the other character will go missing, forming the crux of the game as the twin of your choice journeys through Teyvat to find their sibling.
Currently, the story hasn’t advanced far enough that players know the fate of their missing twin, although a general knowledge of story tropes and hints from the game imply they take on an antagonistic role.
Nendoroids are Good Smile Company’s line of super-deformed figurines, having cute chibi proportions and many swappable features. Not every Nendoroid has these builds, though, as the recently announced Crash Bandicoot Nendoroid is almost fully-proportioned.

Triple S – The Dungeon Fighter-Like Mobile Game Begins Pre-Registration!

Triple S, the game that was previously known as Project TF, was first announced back in February 2017. It was announced by Trance Studio, a Korean game developer, and it was supposed to be published by 4:33 Creative Lab. Because of that, we believed that the game would be launched globally due to 4:33 who’s known as a global publisher. However, Trance Studio has looked to Signal & Co. to publish their game instead of 4:33 and launched their pre-registration – like finally!

Check out their latest trailer below:

If you don’t know, Triple S is a game that is pretty much alike Dungeon Fighter or Dungeon & Fighter by Nexon which closed down. Triple S being a 2D side-scrolling ARPG was developed by the same team whom developed Dungeon & Fighter, hence the similarities.

To set this game apart from the rest, the game boasts over 20 skill combinations between characters which can produce an almost infinite of flashy combos. Apparently, the combos have no cool-down timers so that means you can pretty much spam them. Currently there are a total of 4 playable characters in the game and with a 4 player Co-Op PVE system, the PvP mode is also available for those who love the challenge.

Check out the gameplay trailer here:

Right now, we’re not entirely sure if 4:33 Creative Lab still stands to be the global publisher for Triple S. Since 4:33 Creative Lab had some financial issues last year, we’ll have to wait until further announcements are made for the global launch. As for now, the pre-registration will be for South Korea and will be published in South Korea only for both iOS and Android.

Round 2 of the Another Eden: The Cat Beyond Time and Space and Persona 5 Royal crossover will be arriving to both Japan and global servers!

As with the previous Persona 5 Royal crossover, this collaboration will be a permanent one, featuring Violet and Skull as the new characters. Volume 2 is subtitled “Promises, Vows and Rings”.

We should be expecting players be required to complete Chapter 2 as well as volume 1 of the collaboration to access the second part, which upon completion, will grant Violet and Skull as additions to the character roster. The Japanese portal for the collab also teases the Twin Wardens, who may or may not be a special boss fight as in their original game.
In any case, there’s no rush to get these collab characters, but you might as well get started early enough to raise characters to actually clear the quests and get them. While it’s not a simultaneous release this time, they’re following up close enough, so global players won’t need to wait too long to see more of the Persona 5 Royal crew adventuring in a new world.

Tower of Fantasy Team Apologizes After Caught Using Honkai Impact 3rd Assets In Newest PV

In the newest PV for the Tower of Fantasy character Meryl, soldiers can be seen holding a sword eerily similar to the 3rd Sacred Relic, a sword in Honkai Impact 3rd.
In a Weibo post, they said they would be updating the PV to replace the stolen assets accordingly.

“Due to our negligence, we failed to discover the problem of misuse of material in time, and as of now, the existing material in question has been arranged to be revised and updated”, they said. “In this regard, we have conducted a profound review and apologize to all the topographers affected by this matter.”
They said the slip up was because the assets weren’t developed internally- according to the statement, development of the PV was outsourced- and no one realized it was the case.
“After verification, the reason for this problem is that the PV outsourcing process, the supplier used some material that is not in the game, and we did not find it in time during the review, so the misused material video was released normally”, they said.
The apology was met with some criticism on Weibo, with fans particularly taking offense at the team only posting at midnight- where less people might see it.
“Even if you send an apology microblog at 3:00 in the middle of the night, I have to put up my middle finger with this trembling hand”, one comment reads.

To ensure effortless performance and connectivity, the laptop delivers the latest 12th Generation Intel Core i7 U-Series processors, Intel Iris® Xe graphics and two USB-C® Thunderbolt™ 4 ports, which support fast charging of the 75 Wh battery and connections to external displays.

Built for professional creatives, it offers stunning 4K resolution and targets the specifications for DisplayHDR 400 certification.

ASUS TUF Gaming F15 and F17
TUF Gaming F15 and F17 laptops offer the 12th Generation Intel Core i7-12700H processor and up to an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3070 Laptop GPU with 140 W max TGP — a potent combination that delivers incredible gaming performance. For added power and control, a hardware MUX Switch gets around a performance drawback of gaming laptops, which tend to route the GPU’s frames via the CPU’s integrated graphics to the display.
Gamers can use Armoury Crate to fire up a direct GPU mode that reduces latency and improves performance by 5-10% on average. To match these performance gains, the laptops’ Arc Flow Fans have an updated 84-blade design. Each individual fan blade has varying thickness and a 0.1 mm tip, which reduces turbulence while improving airflow. The overall design is quieter yet offers 13% more airflow than the last generation.
For gaming-grade visuals, all 2022 TUF laptops are equipped with high-refresh-rate display options, including up to FHD at 300 Hz for the fastest FPS gameplay or QHD at 165 Hz for more immersive experiences. To top it all off, F15 and F17 feature new mecha anime-inspired designs and meet MIL-STD-810H specification to ensure their durability on the go.

TUF Dash F15

Razer Kaira X For PS5 Review – The Perfect Companion For Those Weekend Binges

With the Razer Kaira X headphones, you get an extremely great baseline experience for your PS5. It’s a plug-and-play tool- no fancy setup, just plug it in to your controller to get a great audio experience.

One problem with headphones can often be that they get too complicated. While customization is great, sometimes you just don’t want to have a million apps to sift through to get a great audio experience.

Does erring on the side of simplicity work out for these pocket beauties? Or is a lack of options basically a death sentence for headphones? Read on and find out.
The Physique of the Razer Kaira X

Better yet, they’re incredibly comfy. Unlike many headphones on the market, the Razer Kaira X are incredibly light, while also feeling incredibly secure on your head as you use them. Personally I totally forgot they were on my head several times, instead wondering why everyone in the world wasn’t speaking since I had game audio blasting in my ears while talking to people.
They’re especially great for long sessions since they don’t put as much of a strain as some bulkier headphones- just plug them in, don’t put down your controller and you’re good to go.
Being made with consoles in mind, the Razer Kaira X does come with a microphone as well, which you can reposition to match your mouth position. It’s a perfectly serviceable microphone, and should do you great for any team games that need you to relay messages quickly to your teammates.
It also has another underrated feature for headphones, and that’s audio controls on the headpones themselves. Too often, I find headphones would rather have a control module along the cable for the headphone, which can cause you trouble if you bump into it while gaming (I’m especially prone to this, I’ll accidentally hit the volume dial and ruin my audio).

With the Razer Kaira X instead the volume dial and microphone mute are all on the headphones themselves, so you never have to worry about accidents like that happening again. Admittedly, you’ll need to get used to controlling it without looking for maximum comfort- but that’s a skill you can easily learn in a few days.
My one gripe with the design of the Razer Kaira X is that it’s blatantly designed with consoles in mind. The wire is not long at all, so it’s really only designed to be plugged into a controller rather than, say, a PC setup. It’s not bad per se- a long cable on a controller is its own nightmare. But if you just wanted to chill out on your laptop listening to some good music be careful about the length.
Amazing Audio Quality
The Razer Kaira X also works amazingly with the PS5’s proprietary 3D Audio technology. Using the Razer Triforce 50mm audio drivers, you can get some amazing sound quality out of these. The best example would be in Housemarque’s award-winning Returnal, which is just about the best test platform for anyone looking to try out the 3D audio.

The world of Returnal is incredibly atmospheric and creepy, and the Razer Kaira X depicts it perfectly. It meshes really well with the headphones’ own light weight, as you feel like you can pinpoint every atmospheric sound on Atropos before you suddenly find yourself dodging alien projectiles again as if it was you crash-landed on an alien world and forced into a gross time loop.
Seriously, from the rustling of foliage to the creepy sound effects of Returnal, you really feel immersed even though you’ve just made your 20th death in a row. It’s an experience best enjoyed on headphones and the Kaira X is a great vessel for that experience.

It’s not just gaming either- if you decide to take a chill day to just listen to music, you’ll find the Razer Kaira X’s audio drivers give you an excellent experience there, too. Well-mastered tracks feel amazing to listen to, as you can clearly make out the difference between background instruments and main ones.
Even if you’re listening to music not made in the digital age like John Coltrane, it’s still easy to be serenaded to sleep by the dulcet tones of good jazz thanks to both the high quality audio as well as the comfortable setup.
Closing Thoughts

At RM299, the Razer Kaira X is incredible value for money for anyone with a steady gaming setup. If you’re using a laptop or just gaming on your PS5, this is probably your best price-to-quality ratio out there considering you’re getting great audio quality, full gaming functionality and just a damn comfy experience thrown in for the heck of it.
If you’re the type of gamer to play long sessions, I couldn’t recommend this enough, and you can pick it up yourself at the Razer web store.

Higurashi When They Cry Mei PV released

A promotional movie for Higurashi When They Cry Mei has been released by Japan-based developer Smileaxe and publisher D-techno. The main website has also been updated and for this round we are introduced to the new characters and a bit of the story. Nothing about the gameplay has been revealed, but we expect that to be addressed sooner than later.

As we have previously reported, series creator Ryukishi07 will be involved in the project as the original plan coordinator, accompanied by script writer Kanou Kiichi, who had worked on the console versions of the Higurashi When They Cry games. The opening theme song will be composed by Shikura Chiyomaru, and sung by Ayane. Sakuraba Motoi is in charge of the game’s battle music.

The franchise has a number of spin offs by this time in its life, although an RPG is a rather interesting choice. At this point we aren’t provided any details on its mechanics, so we are going to have to wait for more information from the developer. From the teaser art, it does appear there will be a new cast, so we are likely to be getting a brand new story, which perhaps the original characters playing a supporting role. Pre-registration for Higurashi When They Cry Mei is still open at the moment

Artery Gear Fusion CBT Impressions – My New Fetish: Mecha Catgirls

True to its name, Artery Gear Fusion might be clogging my arteries with cuteness (and lewdness)—here are my impressions of the game. Note that the following are just my impressions based on the global closed beta test (CBT) build of the game.

Presentation
Almost immediately upon starting the game, I was greeted by the game’s eye-catching jiggle physics. It became apparent to me that I might have a good time with Artery Gear Fusion. There is a lack of voice acting though, but as the game explains, this is only for the CBT. Once the game comes out, you can safely expect waifu sounds to go with the waifu aesthetic.

Combat uses 2D chibi character sprites. While this isn’t anything special, what makes it really stand out is how smooth the animations are. Seriously, from the regular skills to the special moves, the Artery Gears (what the units in the game are called) perform very dynamic and elaborate manoeuvres that are just a blast to see. Artery Gear Fusion is easily one of the best looking 2D gacha games in recent years.
Also, I was really impressed by how good the game’s UI is. Recent Chinese gacha games that I’ve tried out recently like Velvet Code, Soul Tide and Final Gear all suffer from UI that feels like it was put together in Google Slides. Artery Gear Fusion doesn’t clutter your entire screen with boxes and buttons and feels like Azur Lane in terms of how polished the UI is.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Speaking of Azur Lane, the character illustrations in Artery Gear Fusion are lewd, but in a good way. I like that the characters have live 2D, aren’t too overexposed, and their poses and outfits cater to a lot of different fetishes. For the degenerate gacha gamer like me, this is the proven formula that you can’t go wrong with. Also, in case you’ve missed the title of this CBT impressions, all of the waifus in Artery Gear Fusion are part mecha and part kemonomimi. I love how unified this design is throughout the characters and it certainly stands out from “another shipgirl game”.
And when all else fails, there’s a bond system, too, so you can romance the characters. Hopefully, the game will get great voice actresses for “immersion”.

Gameplay
Gameplay-wise, Artery Gear Fusion fits within the mould of Epic Seven. It’s your standard fare of gacha RPG, but it with a lot more quality of life improvements. Besides the standard story missions, you have a lot of different modes, both PvE and PvP alike. While it’s hard to say how long it’ll take for players to eventually catch up to the well of content and be forced to grind repetitively since this is just the CBT, the game does have a lot to offer like Lava Rift, Data Collection, Mutation Waypoint and a lot of other modes to fill up your time with.
As for the quality of life improvements—what are they exactly? For one, there’s Skill Log Config, which is similar to the Gambit system in Final Fantasy XII (not X-2) on the PS2 if you’ve played that before. Essentially, you can customise how the auto battle AI behaves, such as prioritising a healing skill when an Artery Gear’s HP is below a certain percentage, for example.

There’s also A.I. Combat, which is basically Slime ISEKAI Memories‘ Parallel Processing feature. You can set the game to clear X number of stages and spend the equivalent cost of stamina when you’re away. In Artery Gear Fusion, you can even set it to stop when a unit levels up or to have it run in low energy mode, which is a nice touch.
Gear and equipment also play a big part in the game. Usually, in a lot of other similar gacha RPGs, you’ll be farming the same stage over and over again just to get the perfect substats for your gear. However, Artery Gear Fusion actually lets you swap your substats around! This mitigates the grinding pretty significantly. The caveat is you can only swap substats from equipment that drop in the same zone, but that’s one that we can live.
There are a lot of other neat things that Artery Gear Fusion has done for its gameplay, but there’ll be too many to list down. Call it heresy, but I really feel that this is an improved Epic Seven, so if you liked that game, it’s very likely you’ll feel right at home in Artery Gear Fusion.

Gacha
The million dollar question—how’s the gacha? Not the best rates in the world, but at least it’s not less than 1% for the lowest rarity. The rates are as follows:

5★ AG: 2.5%
4★ AG: 13%
3★ AG: 84.5%

Every 10 pull you make is guaranteed to get you a 4★ Artery Gear. Also, there is pity in the game, which is set to 200. While it does seem a lot, the pity rate is transferable at least, so no pulls are ever wasted.
Overall the gacha isn’t stingy and neither is it generous. There also seems to be monthly pass and other purchase options, but as this is just the CBT, it’s best to see what the prices are like once the game is out.
Damn straight.
Closing Thoughts
That’s it for my Artery Gear Fusion impressions. For once, this is a gacha game that will likely do very well. It fixes a lot of problems Epic Seven, has amazing 2D animations and is degenerate enough to suit the average gacha gamer. The biggest issue this game has is its poor localisation. Hopefully, when the game officially launches, there won’t be any major issues, because this is one to look out for.

This plushie measures 38 x 42cm, and will cost 189 Yuan (RM122.47). Unlike the others, this one doesn’t include a keychain due to its larger size, and will ship some time in October instead.

Back to the actual game in question, it boasts a unique cyberpunk setting but is somehow set in the the Heian period when yokai plagues the world. For whatever reason, yokai can only be beaten through the use of ink art, and said power can only be wielded by a group of individuals known as ‘ink masters’. The control of ink art will somehow translate into the ability to construct towers to fend off all forms of menacing beings.

Tokimeki Idol now available for Android and iOS

After much deliberation, Konami launched its latest foray into the idol genre with Tokimeki Idol, which is available for download on Android and iOS.

In Tokimeki Idol, you take on the role the producer for 15 idol candidates at the Princess Public Music Institute. Your job entails you doing just about everything you can to help them become idols and this requires building relationships with the girls.

You will be able to choose from an assortment of outfits for the live performance with a variety of customisations to choose from. The live performance parts are done in the usual rhythm game fashion, but if you so choose, you can set it to automatic mode so you do not have to play it, but why would you? The performance is then followed up by a communication event where you will be able to hang out with the girls.
