Ode to Heroes – A deeply strategic idle game!

Ode to Heroes isn’t just another idle game. Sure, you don’t have to actively monitor it, but there’s a certain level of depth that other idle games do not possess. Read on to find out more.

The Eastern influence is all over the game, from the title screen and especially in the heroes. Enjoy the classical Eastern art style presented to you in painterly colours, reminiscent of historical Chinese art and calligraphy. Even the currencies, equipment, menus and so forth are kept to the theme, with these copper coins, scrolls and jade scattered across the game.

The world will slowly open up to you.
The plot has you, the Destiny Minister, summon heroes picked throughout eastern history to fix a disordered timeline. As you upgrade heroes, you’ll be able to unlock their backgrounds. Read up on historical figures from eastern history and lore, a breath of fresh air compared to most western-fantasy inspired games! You will find no less gripping and touching stories within the biographies of these figures, brought to life in an art style true to their origins.
There’s a more social aspect here compared to a large variety of idle games. You can communicate with the others on your server through a global chat, as well as join guilds. You and your friends can also find bosses, and you can join in the battle to get rewards too! At a high enough guild level, you’d be able to compete in Guild Wars. Help your guild obtain victory!

A Guild Trial in progress.
The ‘idle’ aspect is no slouch either. You can get quite generous rewards when you return to collect them, with hero shards dropping fairly regularly. You see, you can also summon additional heroes, but even if you’re not lucky, you can still get a proper team to progress through the campaign. Not only that, you can pick an element you want a hero from thanks to The Sages! If you don’t like the hero you get, you can choose to replace them too.
Challenge more difficult content in the Secret Realm and Sky Tower. Progress through a gauntlet of increasingly more powerful guardians to claim your prizes. Guild Trials will see you face down large beasts for other rewards. When you’re not fighting, you can go to the Noticeboard to send your heroes off to complete quests. Take some time to read the quest flavour text too, you might find some amusing tidbits hidden there!
Summoning screen. There is a Friend Summon too.
You’ll have to upgrade your heroes to continue further into the campaign. You can craft equipment from the various drops and progressively increase their base rarities, then equip them on your heroes. Heroes can unlock abilities when you have them Breakthrough, unlocking more of their potential and increasing their level cap. With sufficient time, you could potentially evolve them into different forms as well, or promote them.
Visit the Destiny Tree to upgrade stats for the various class types. If your team happens to be heavily Emperor-focused, then upgrade the relevant tree! These Destiny Trees could make even your lowest rarity hero strong provided they are of that class! It will take quite a bit of investment, but you can be sure your party will be able to tackle the game’s content.
At the Destiny Tree.
You have faction bonuses depending on how many element heroes are in play. These will then apply bonuses to the team. Faction bonuses allows even “non-optimal” team builds to function with the percentage based bonuses. For example, the Six Paths Faction Halo provides 9% ATK and 9% HP to the party. That’s not even counting Mythical Pets you can get later in the game!
In battle with a Six Path Faction Bonus active.
Even as you don’t play the game, there’s plenty waiting for you to get back and be strong enough to experience. Try Ode to Heroes now! Keep up to date with the game via Facebook.
Who knows, it could inspire you to learn more about the east’s history, of their heroes and legends!

Characters will be able to equip various weapons, armour and accessories! It looks like it will need to match the unit’s class as well for them to wield. From the colour of gear and stars, it would seem they come in various rarities and power levels as well. The trailer also shows off 3D models of the characters wielding their weapons.

Crafting them with materials, or purchasing them from the shop with gil is also another way to acquire gear. Naturally, you’d be able to upgrade your stuff too. You can upgrade the number of stars with items, presumably a form of limit breaking.
VISION CARD

Units will be able to equip these Vision Cards. These too have their rarity and star levels. Going by the trailer, they will provide units and parties additional abilities depending on the card used.
AVATORS

Now there’s some production value! Players will be able to use powerful summons on the battlefield, getting pretty cool summon cut-ins together with them. Equipping one of these will also increase a unit’s strength. As with the character units, you can check out a summon’s 3D model in-game. They will likewise require you to upgrade them. We can see Ifrit’s and Titan’s cut-ins, what do you think the rest would look like?
How excited are you for War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius? We’re hoping for the global version to come soon after it releases for Japan!

Blazblue Creator Toshimichi Mori Leaves Arc System Works

Blazblue series creator Toshimichi Mori has left Arc System Works, following speculation from fans over the past week.

ご報告です。 pic.twitter.com/wACWEOfxVh

— 森利道（森Ｐ） (@zatuyoP) September 25, 2022

In a tweet, Mori posted a statement thanking the company as well as their fans for their support over the years, though he didn’t give any reason for his departure.

“The many experiences I’ve had over the past 20 years since joining Arc System Works are the treasures of my life”, he says.
This comes after his name was unceremoniously removed from the Arc System Works Board of Directors earlier this week, leading many fans to speculate that the producer was going to leave the company.
As of this writing, Arc System Works has not issued an official statement on the matter.
While he neither confirmed nor denied the fate of the Blazblue series, Mori was quick to admit that this wasn’t good optics for the future of the fighting game series.
“I am leaving Arc System Works. I am sorry for the anxiety this may cause to Blazblue players in particular. I am truly sorry for this”, the statement reads.
This does put a damper on the momentum of the Blazblue series- while it hasn’t gotten a mainline entry since the release of Blazblue Centralfiction in 2015, Arc System Works has been revisiting the older games to improve their netcode alongside Blazblue Cross Tag Battle (A crossover fighter).
On top of that, the series has gotten several mobile spin offs, including the now-cancelled Blazblue Alternative Dark War as well as the yet-to-be-released Blazblue Chaos Effect.

Magia Record: English ends service

Lasting just about a year, the English / North American server for Magia Record ends service, as announced by Aniplex. The notice is given as follows:

Thank you for playing Magia Record!

We regret to inform you that Magia Record – English will be ceasing all operations on 9/29 at 11:59 PDT. Unfortunately, after that time the game will no longer be available to download or play.
We are incredibly thankful for all the support you have given Magia Record – English since its release in June of 2019. Without you, there would be no Magia Record.

Magia Stones will still be available for purchase until 9/10 at 11:59 PDT.
*Paid Magia Stones cannot be refunded. Please be sure to use all of your remaining Magia Stones before 9/29.
It’s curious that paid stones are still purchasable when most typically stop, but if you still want to buy premium currency for any reason, you can. As is typically the case, the Japanese version is still running, so you may still opt to continue playing there instead.

Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg Preview Crafted My Interest In The Game

Before we get into the article, I admit that I never played the original Atelier Marie: The Alchemist of Salburg when it first launched in 1997. So when I was given the opportunity to play a preview version of the remake, it felt like a good idea. After all, I would be approaching the game with fresh new eyes and while I would not be able to truly appreciate the changes (if any) when compared to the original, I would at least base the remake solely on its own as a standalone game.

I genuinely enjoyed my time with the game despite only getting to see a fraction of the overall content with the preview. So, with that being said, how did Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg manage to brew my interest and concoct a potion of delight and wonder? Read on to find out more.

Graduating With Honors In Alchemy
It is important to take note that the Preview is limited to only the 1st year, which means that some features in the game were not available to be explored when I was playing it. However during my time with Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg, I think most of the mechanics and overall feel of the game could be ascertained quite well, based on my overall experience.
The story starts off with Marlone (nicknamed Marie) who unfortunately is failing her studies in Alchemy at the Royal Academy of Magic. Seeing the young enthusiastic Marie struggling, her Professor decides to give her an Atelier (a lab of sorts) as part of a special graduation exam. This requires her to complete an item which would impress the Professor that will allow her to graduate.

Un-Edited Image Credit: Koei Tecmo Games
From there, Marie’s road to graduation begins as she scours the world for knowledge on how to improve her alchemy skills, earn money to buy recipes and utensils while also battling monsters. All so that she could qualify to graduate within the five year period given to her by the Professor.
The story was relatively easy to get into, and very much relatable. A lot of my game time was padded out by quests and material hunting, similar to that of Monster Hunter World and while I did not get to see the story through to its conclusion due to the limitations of the preview itself, Marie’s graduation story does seem interesting enough to keep me invested.
Time Is Relative
One unique mechanic that stood out for me during my time with the preview build of Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg, was the passage of time itself. I found myself consistently planning my journey ahead as any action you incur will take up days to complete. Travelling to different locations will take different amount of days to reach depending on the distance, which has you encountering enemies and mini-games during your travels as well.
Un-Edited Image Credit: Koei Tecmo Games
Basic functions such as collecting materials and recovering health and mana also take up days as well with longer rests taking up more. Personally I quite enjoyed it as it did made me play more strategically and gave a bit more urgency to the game with actual stakes in play. Quests and assignments also have deadlines to them and crossing the due date meant lesser rewards overall.
While I did enjoy the way the days system worked, the game also has an unlimited mode which is a more traditional way of story progression with the game only progressing when you want it to by completing main quests.
Salburg Explored
The city of Salburg serves as the hub area for Marie which contains various shops and outlets that allows Marie to do different activities:

Weapon House – Equipment seller
Atelier – Crafting area while also allowing you to confirm your homework
Castle – I couldn’t get in due to a character blocking my path
Sky Tavern – The area where you can get information and receive quests
Academy –  Books or props can be purchased here
World Map – Exploration and material collecting

Un-Edited Image Credit: Koei Tecmo Games
While it did seem overbearing at first, I was genuinely grateful for the tutorials set in place during the opening moments which gave me a step by step guide on how the different elements in the game works such as exploration, alchemy, combat and so forth.
Explorer Marie
The game’s combat system is a turn-based one which has you battling a random number of enemies per encounter, with a victory granting you experience and materials, while a loss has you sent back home with the materials you collected dropping and a few days spent as recovery time. To prevent wasting her precious days away in a hospital bed, Marie can recruit adventurers to help her out during those tough combat moments.
The price for protection is not free however as different adventurers do have different skills and levels, which has them charging you higher fees the higher their level. Choosing the right people for the right task is also something I enjoyed while playing the preview, I have always enjoyed building team compositions instead of just defaulting to “the best characters” in the turn-based games I play like Divinity Original Sin 2 or more recently Honkai Star Rail.
Un-Edited Image Credit: Koei Tecmo Games
Of course none of these adventurers are permanent members and you are free to let them go from your party if you wish to bring a different set of people along with you. However, every character can level up and the only way they can do that is by going out on adventures with you. I find it best to consistently rotate the characters out due to the fact that special events do pop out if your relationship with the other characters are good, similar to that in games like Divinity Original Sin 2.
Material collection-wise it felt pretty straight forward with the game holding your hand through the process with clear icons labelling where the materials are located on the map and quest materials having a dedicated mark for them. However, there is a limit to the amount of materials that Marie could carry in her backpack and since each collection does cost a full day, I only prioritize collecting what I want rather than simply picking everything up.
There’s also a feature that lets you automatically explore the game, the system will collect materials for you as well as deal with any combat situation that it encounters. However, if you are pressed for time and would like to be more efficient with how your days are spent, manual exploration will always be the best method to go.
Un-Edited Image Credit: Koei Tecmo Games
Materials Management
From the preview of Atelier Marie Remake, I could definitely tell that the materials would be the center focus of the game, there are a lot of them to be collected and some even have special conditions to actually get them such as the Special Golden Carp or Ripe Apples which could be obtained through a mini game. Most of these materials are not quest specific so I had to definitely brush up on my resource management skills more and craft only the essentials.
Un-Edited Image Credit: Koei Tecmo Games
Final Thoughts
Judging from the preview alone, I am genuinely excited for the full version of Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg. The game’s time constrained campaign was definitely a feature I wish more games implemented as it definitely helps make the overall experience feel more real and immersive with its sense of urgency.
I also enjoyed playing through the many crafting elements in the game and its overall resource management mechanic with the days system. Planning out build paths and faming materials efficiently is definitely something I enjoy doing in my games and Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg definitely captures that feeling well.
Un-Edited Image Credit: Koei Tecmo Games
Of course, a lot can happen in five years and with the preview of Atelier Marie Remake being only limited to the first year of the game, I am genuinely excited to see what could possibly be crafted that could help poor Marie graduate.

Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg is scheduled to release on the 13th of July 2023 and will be available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows PC.

The bare minimum settings of this game will run on a GTX 780, which means that you’ll get the game playable even if you’re using a computer from the early 2010s. It even supports Windows 7, meaning the technological holdouts should get the game running, even if its not at its prettiest.
If you are running a machine in its golden years, you’ll probably be equal parts surprised and not surprised at all to find out Cyberpunk will take up 70GB of space on your hard drive. This can be a steep asking price for many older computers, especially since its the same size as the higher settings, which means you’re still downloading all the higher-end assets without necessarily using them.
Still, this is pretty generous when it comes to specs, and its a good thing to know that older computers can still get in and enjoy Cyberpunk 2077.

At the height of luxury comes the “RTX Ultra” mode for Cyberpunk 2077, working your machine like a horse to get the peak graphical experience.
You’ll notice that its a lot less forgiving in the GPU department, using an RTX 3080 to achieve this. It’s not that big a step up from its 1440P  “RTX High” setting, which uses a 3070, so unless you’re using a massive monitor don’t feel too pressured to get your computer running to this standard.
That being said, the SSD storage is mandatory here, as it helps optimize file writing to make sure your game loads before the day’s out.

While the Cyberpunk 2077 PC Specs’ maximum settings were to be expected, it’s interesting to know how accessible they’re making the game by giving it such low minimum specs. It should be noted that we have no confirmation how the game will actually behave at these settings, so its best to hold out if you’re on the lower spec end of the spectrum.
Cyberpunk 2077 will release December 10th on PC, PS4, Xbox One as well as their next-gen counterparts.

Sonic Prime Concept Art Leaked

Concept art for the upcoming Sonic Prime has reportedly been leaked online, via an artist who worked on the show.

While the original post has since been taken down, Sonic fansite Tails Channel managed to grab a hold of the concept art first, which seems to tally with the earlier “multiverse” concept teased when the show was first announced.

The Sonic Prime concept art seems to focus on a technological dystopia future where Eggman has already won. That being said, it’s unknown if Dr Eggman would be the big bad for the series, seeing as how he’s in a rounded-up pile of baddies in one of the pieces.

Aside from that, the Sonic Prime concept art also gives us two returning characters- Sonic’s sidekick Tails, as well as Amy. It looks like these will be multiverse versions of the character rather than “Prime” universe, as both of them are sporting some pretty radical changes to their design.

It should be noted that just because the concept art exists, it doesn’t mean these concepts will make it to the final release of the show. Concept art is exactly that- concepts meant to pitch the direction of the show, and if an artist accidentally uploaded it online there’s a good chance it was because this direction was already rejected and the project was set to move in another direction.
Neither Netflix nor SEGA have come out to verify the authenticity of the leaks, but given how quickly they were taken down and the purported source, it stands to good reason that these are the real deal.

Days Gone hands-on experience – Great survival game that you will definitely find challenging

Days Gone is a survival game that will be launching exclusively for the PS4 on April 26. Thanks to Sony Interactive Entertainment Singapore, we were fortunate enough to play the game for a little bit during our time in Thailand a while ago. Check out our recent interview with the community manager from Bend Studio – David Lee.

Watch our gameplay here:

Days Gone is a third-person survival game where you will play as mercenary Deacon St. John. The events in the game take place two years after a global pandemic crisis which had turned almost everyone into Freakers. The world went into chaos since then. Deacon lost his wife in the process and he is now a mercenary who travels around with his motorcycle from time-to-time.

It is a huge open-world game that takes place in the Pacific Northwest region, also known as Cascadia. It is basically a region in western North America bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the west and by the Cascade Mountain Range on the east. There are plenty of locations for you to travel to.

In Days Gone, Freakers are undoubtedly the biggest threat among all the enemies in the game. Freakers feed on human flesh and hunt by instincts. They drink water and they need sleep as well. What is more unique about the Freakers is, they perform cannibalism! They tend to become more aggressive when it is at night or when the snow comes. Therefore, be prepared with loads of ammo and resources during those scenarios or risk getting hunted down by the Freakers.

There are a few types of them. The pesky and sneaky Newts that love to hunt from the shadows. Hundreds of Freakers make up a huge group known as the Horde. Also, there is the Screamer that can produce loud noises to call for other surrounding Freakers to its aid.

Furthermore, Freakers have their own nests. Nests are shelters for them to sleep and live in. To destroy them, you are going to need some flammable and explosive items. Going in for a surprise ambush on a Freaker nest with just your guns and melee weapons is not going work well.

Freakers’ ears can be collected for bounty which means you can exchange them for supplies and resources. They are currencies that help you set up camps as well so try not to always avoid a Horde. Even though it is a drag to collect so many ears at once after you eliminate a Horde, it is still essential because money does not exist anymore.

Freakers are not your only concern though. Rippers are basically a bunch of dangerous psychopaths that carry weapons, going around from places to places. Then there are dangerous animals such as wolves that you might bump into while venturing in the wild. Of course, there are infected animals too and they are even more dangerous than those ordinary ones.

There are a lot of weapons available in the game. Pistols, machine guns, melee weapons and much more! You can even craft your own explosives although it still all depends on how much resources you have. You can even create traps to catch careless enemies off-guard. Remember to take advantage of your surroundings too while fending off the Freakers such as blowing up a nearby petrol tank to light them up.

The place where you park your bike is also your checkpoint so be sure to park it wisely and carefully at a safe location. Your bike is your precious saviour because it allows you to travel everywhere and to outrun Freakers so be sure to take care of it properly. Once you have cleared a nest, you will have the option to fast-travel but it is going to consume your bike’s petrol.

An easy way to kill a Freaker would be using your bike to run over it because it is usually a one-hit kill. However, ramming your bike into obstacles and even Freakers would decrease your bike’s endurance level so be careful. Though, it is not like your bike would just stay at its pitiful state all the time. Upgrade it, not through skill trees but camps. Once you increase the bike’s durability by upgrading the necessary parts, it will last longer when you decide to go rampage mode on the Freakers. Of course, you will still need to repair the bike after that.

There are three different skill trees, namely Melee, Ranged Combat and Survival. They are upgradable and they are extremely crucial elements of the game. If you want to scavenge for more supplies, you may want to upgrade the Survival skill tree as you will get more items that you need. Ranged Combat allows you to use focus mode more effectively and have more ammo capacity. The Melee skill tree allows you to learn a skill to repair certain weapons so you can consistently use a melee weapon again and again even after breaking it. It also increases the damage of your boot knife which you will always have with you because it never breaks. An advice to you would be to find the perfect balance between the three skill trees.

Furthermore, every player will experience the game differently because of the dynamic weather system. Not to mention that there are a lot of random in-game events. The storyline will not change regardless of what happens and that is what makes the game all the more interesting. The replayability of Days Gone is great too. Besides that, the game’s difficulty comes in either easy, normal or hard mode. Damage dealt by the enemies and their total health amount are the only aspects that separate the difficulty levels.

We think Days Gone is definitely a game worth spending time on. It offers so much room for creative play as in there are so many ways to complete a mission depending on your playstyle. The graphics and contrast are very good. The scenery of this post-apocalyptic world is extremely pleasing to the eyes. Most of all, the gameplay is realistic especially when it comes to you fighting against the Freakers. The melee actions are extremely smooth as well. Overall, very aesthetic and a decent storyline.

To know more about Days Gone, you can visit Bend Studio’s official site. You can also visit Bend Studio’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages to keep yourself updated before the game officially launches on 26th April!

In EXOS Heroes, there is an overworld where your characters can run around to explore the map. You can also encounter roaming monsters on the map. There’s an idle mechanic, which we can find out in more detail once the game is available in English, proper. Some enterprising players had fiddled with the files to play the Korean version in English before the official release, which you can check out here.

Arc the Lad R English will launch later in May

The English release of Arc the Lad R has been set for 10 May 2021. The pre-download will become available at 0:00 UTC -8, while the servers will go live on the same day at 18:00 UTC -8. The official Arc the Lad R Facebook page revealed the date by marking it on a May calendar sheet. That’s great and all, with some caveat: as we’d previously reported, the Japanese servers for the game will be shutting down on 30 June. As the Traditional Chinese version continues running, we’ll have to see if these servers can continue releasing exclusive content.

In any case, you can give it a shot and try the game for yourself. There’ll be about 2 years worth of content to go through after all. For the curious, here’s the overview for the game:

As a refresher, Almategia as a sequel of Seven Swords (from Asobimo too) which has put their focus on large scale territory wars (up to 50 vs 50). The game uses Unreal Engine 3 in development, so you could expect to see some great looking JRPG art style graphics.

Odin: Valhalla Rising releases English teaser trailers

As the release date of Odin: Valhalla Rising approaches in South Korea, Lionheart Studio has shared new teaser trailers for the game in English on their Youtube channel. Accordingly, the teaser website for Odin: Valhalla Rising is now available in English, which you can check out here. There’s no direct confirmation that the game will be launching simultaneously for worldwide audiences though, so you might just want to put a pin in that.

For the unfamiliar, Odin: Valhalla Rising is a cross-platform MMORPG for both PC and mobile. The cinematic trailer posted through Kakao Games’ Youtube channel has since garnered almost 4 million views in roughly 2 months, indicating very high interest in the title, and the game itself has garnered over 2.5 million pre-registrations. The English sub version can be found below.

It’s an ambitious game, certainly, with the cinematics and preview images promising quite a lot of freedom of exploration, sieges and whatever else that you can expect in an MMORPG. We’ll soon find out if the trailers can live up to the expected quality, so stay tuned.

[TGS 2021] Sin Chronicle , SEGA’s new mobile RPG Won’t Let You Roll Back Your Choices

Sega has announced Sin Chronicle, a “successor” to the Chain Chronicle series for smartphones releasing on December 15th, 2021. The game is also available for pre-registration now. You may also sign up to join the closed beta until October 7th, upon which the test itself will run October 14th – 21st. There’s no apparent player limit, with vague minimum specifications set at iOS 13.0 / Android 8.0 or above.

According to the presentation at TGS 2021, the game will feature its own story, capped out at the end of each chapter with big choices to determine the direction of the story.

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

They’re also upping the ante for anyone who likes to roll back their choices- the game will save your decisions on their own server, so you won’t be able to go back to see the other outcomes from the game’s branching pathways.
Hanging Out With The Boundary Knights
You’ll be recruiting members of the Boundary Knights- warriors who protect your walled city. Which characters you recruit will be tied to your choices- such as an early decision you’ll have to make choosing between Sera and Chloe. Who you recruit will lock the other one out of your adventure, so you’ll really have to think about who to take with you.
Follow us on Twitter

and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

You’ll also have bond episodes, with vignettes between various party members. During the presentation, they showed characters interacting independent of the player character, and you’ll be notified mid-adventure if you’ve unlocked another of these bond episodes.

It looks like the gameplay will be primarily about exploring the abyss- with a map of areas spiraling downwards. We don’t know too much about the setting yet, but it looks like you’re not the only Boundary Knights sent into there, and you’ll encounter more during your journey.

Combat
While Sin Chronicle uses a turn-based combat system, it looks like they’re making a lot of design choices to mix it with action elements, such as having your character’s position remain when they move to attack. This looks like it’ll affect your characters’ position on the aggro table, since it looks  like most enemy mobs will attack what’s in front of them.
Aside from your own party, it looks like the level you’re on will also give you a Guest character, who will join your party for the sequence. They’ll even show up behind your character, tailing you as you explore the game’s world.
Bosses also have their own gimmick, where they can raise shields that go down after a predetermined number of hits. You’ll have to choose your moves wisely, since your priority will be to break the shield as quickly as possible.

Your moves are split into 3 options per character, with a BP limit controlling how  you use them. We haven’t seen too many of the different types of skills you can use in the game, but it looks like balancing out your party’s skills is gonna be important for planning an effective party. There’s a turn order that shows up at the start of combat, too. There looks to be a damage multiplier the higher your combo, among other things.
Of course, it’s a full-fledged JRPG- so that means lots of typical tropes like pre-emptive attacks, as well as gathering items which you won’t be able to get via a gacha system.
Monetization
We actually know surprisingly little about the monetization strategy for Sin Chronicle. From the presentation they’ve outright said weapons won’t be subject to a gacha, and it looks like recruiting party members is too integral to the story to also be a part of the gacha system.
Judging by the fact the game aims to have pre-registration rewards, it’s likely there’ll be some sort of gacha system, but we’ll have to wait to find out more. At this juncture, there’s no apparent mention of a global release.

Aliens? Aliens. – Red Solstice 2: Survivors review

Red Solstice 2: Survivors is not a new sight, as we’ve tried out its alpha before. You can check out our impressions of that here. The game hasn’t changed all that drastically, so you can consider this review roughly a retread of the preview.

STARTING THE GAME: WELCOMING THE EXECUTOR
They let you skip the tutorial and the first mission which is honestly really nice. They’ve added a brief, new cinematic to kick off the story, where you Executors have been awakened to embark on a secret mission to rid Mars of the STROL mutants. Why does it have to be secret, though? The impression I got from the preview is that the NPCs around you knew who you are, but whatever really. It’s got that suitably sci-fi vibe as you endeavour to make the planet hospitable. The story is unlikely to be what impresses you in this game, but tropes are alright.

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

There is an extensive Archives section, with many files for you to peruse. There’s various lore tidbits, information on the items and buffs you may come across accompanied by images so that you know how they look like, a dossier on interactable stuff and the bestiary as you come across the creatures on the planet. There’s also text tutorials on the systems in the game, if you ever need to refresh your memory. All of this information is very easily accessible, so even if you haven’t played the first game, you can probably get pretty quickly up to speed as to what awaits you here.
Follow us on Twitter

Tweet to @GamerBraves

GAMEPLAY: GUNFIRE LOGISTICS
There’s basically no change here. When you start up your campaign and select your difficulty, you can see what the modifiers are for them, giving you that rough numerical estimation for various aspects. You as the Executor, move around the map with mouse clicks, with skills or items bound to hotkeys. You can field three NPCs to your team whom you cannot fully control, though you can use simple commands to focus their actions. Should any of them die three times within a mission, that NPC will be permanently deceased.

The manual and overwatch modes are still here and work the same way as the preview. To recap, manual lets you see further, is more powerful and fires when you decide to, with the drawback (?) being it’s possible to miss if your aim isn’t good. Overwatch mode makes your character automatically attack once they’re in range of you, indicated by a circle around your character, with a 100% guaranteed hit on any creatures. In exchange, your range is more limited.
You’ll find consumables during a mission, which you’d likely be juggling around as you only have limited slots. Besides that, you have your active skills. Pretty standard.
Compared to the original Red Solstice, the maps are bigger with more places to explore and have more variety in design and terrain across missions. You can take advantage of certain terrain, like cover, during combat as needed. Interactable items are scattered all over the map, so you have the option to open up the archives to study them all and learn what to keep an eye out for. From detonating oil barrels to destructible environmental pieces, there’s quite a few options when the going gets tough.

Unfortunately, traversal can be on the slow side, so it depends on how thorough you want to be when faced with large areas to cover. You need to watch out for your ammo stock; tough luck if you can’t find any along the way as those monsters try to tear your face of. The weather becomes a factor too, like how continuous lightning storms drain you of energy while slowing you down. A fun time it is not, when monsters start swarming you.
You could find some companions during a mission to help you out, joining you once you complete it. Though you can’t control AI teammates directly, you can still improve them by customizing their roles and equipment for loadouts to fit the situation. Work on their ranks and add skill points to your skill tree to further improve parameters, to give you better odds in survival.

All the while, you go from mission to mission on the world map, trying to gather enough resources to research upgrades and simultaneously managing infection levels. The archives inform you that you can’t take on ALL the missions, so just try to juggle it the best you can. Should you not complete enough missions to keep the infection level from hitting 100%, that’s a game over.
VERDICT: MARS AND YOU
Red Solstice 2: Survivors has expanded quite a lot from the first title, while maintaining some familiar elements. The systems it has aren’t the most groundbreaking, but they have decent amount of depth for those who want more complexity. That’s not forgetting the juggling you will be doing between missions and supply runs for research, highly reminiscent of X-COM.
With its increase in scope, the roughness can be more obvious to some of you and detract from what the game is trying to do. You can come across bugs where items have no effect, or you can’t even pick them up. Regardless, it’s still a pretty hefty game to sink your teeth into if you’re a fan of tactical strategy games, so consider getting it.

Football Manager series to add women’s football

Sports Interactive and SEGA Europe are announcing the addition of women’s football into the Football Manager series. This will be a multi-year project to include women’s football into the existing Football Manager series ecosystem where managers can move between men’s or women’s clubs seamlessly, and notably not for a standalone women’s football management simulation.

No definitive date of completion has been set as yet, but Sports Interactive’s development team are committed to ensuring the most authentic representation of women’s football with all the level of realism and detail the series is known for. Until these standards are met, a launch date will not be announced.

“We have NO interest whatsoever in making a standalone women’s football version of FM. What we are doing is adding women’s football to FM… one sport, one game.”
”We know that adding women’s football to FM is going to cost in the millions and that the short-term return it delivers will be minimal. But that’s not the point. There’s no hiding that there’s currently a glass ceiling for women’s football and we want to do what we can to help smash through it. We believe in equality for all and we want to be part of the solution.”

“We want to be a part of the process that puts women’s football on an equal footing with the men’s game. We know that we’re not alone in this – the historic TV deal that Sky and the BBC recently agreed with WSL in England is proof of that – but we intend to do everything we can to get women’s football to where it deserves to be.”
Miles Jacobson, Studio Director at Sports Interactive
“Women’s football is capturing the imagination of fans across the globe and we’re making huge strides in terms of attendance figures and broadcast deals.”
“For the women’s game to get to the next level, though, it needs to be recognised as an integral part of the world of football, not something separate and different. We want future generations to grow up in a world where football isn’t divided into ‘women’s’ and ‘men’s’… it’s just football. The ambitious plan that the Sports Interactive team have for Football Manager will play a huge part in getting us there.”
Emma Hayes, Chelsea FC Women manager
