Earlier today during CES 2022, Acer introduced new additions to their Swift X range alongside the new Aspire C27 and C24 All-in-One Desktops. All of the new PCs feature the latest 12th Gen Intel® CoreTM processors.

Acer Swift X — Powerful and Ultraportable

The ultra-portable laptop Swift X (SFX14-51G) 14-inch laptop, weighing just 3.09 lbs (1.4 kg), packs up to a 12th Gen Intel Core processor with up to 12 cores and an NVIDIA® GeForce RTXTM 3050 Ti laptop GPU into its 0.7-inch (17.9 mm) thin aluminum chassis. A fan, air inlet keyboard and dual heat pipes dissipate the heat generated by this hardware, helping the device maintain the peak performance expected by creatives studying or working in multimedia design.

The 16-inch model (SFX16-52G) features 12th Gen Intel Core processors with up to 12 cores (4 P-cores and 8 E-cores) and discrete Intel ArcTM graphics. Keeping the laptop cool are dual fans, dual copper heat pipes, an air inlet keyboard, and a bigger side exhaust port. Co-engineered with Intel, the device will meet the requirements of an Intel Evo laptop through Intel’s hardware specifications and key experience targets for responsiveness, instant wake, battery life, fast charge and intelligent collaboration.

Both models run on Windows 11 and feature a 16:10 aspect-ratio IPS screen—2240×1400 for the 14-in model and up to 2560×1600 (WQXGA) for the 16-in model—with stunningly narrow bezels, allowing for up to a 92.22% screen-to-body ratio. Combined with 100% coverage of the sRGB color gamut and up to 400 nits of brightness, the Swift X wows with crystal clear images and delivers immersive viewing experiences. Further enhancing these images, it also features Acer BluelightShieldTM for more comfortable viewing, plus Acer ExaColorTM and Acer Color IntelligenceTM for more vibrant colors.
In addition to up to 16 GB of LPDDR5 memory and 2 TB of PCIe SSD storage for faster navigation, the new Swift X models combine Intel® Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) for fast and stable connectivity—perfect for high-speed file sharing and smooth 4k streaming. From there, the laptops’ I/O includes two Type-C ports with Thunderbolt 4 (up to 40 GBs) support, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, HDMI 2.0, and a fingerprint reader for easy login with Windows Hello. The productivity capacity of both models is further enhanced by an FHD webcam with Acer’s Temporal Noise Reduction (TNR) technology for high-quality imagery even in low-light conditions, Acer PurifiedVoiceTM with AI Noise Reduction for clearer com-calls, and DTS audio.

Acer Aspire C27 and C24 — All-in-One Home Workstation
For enhanced performance when working from home, the Aspire C27 (27-inch, C27-1751) and C24 (24-inch, C24-1750) All-In-One (AIO) PCs have been refreshed with Windows 11 and up to the latest 12th Gen Intel Core i7 processors, the latest NVIDIA GeForce MX550 GPU and 64 GB of DDR4 RAM, plus a 1 TB SSD and 2 TB HDD. From there, a host of connectivity options backs up this powerful hardware, such as Wi-Fi 6E for fast and stable connectivity, Bluetooth® 5.2 for simplified data-sharing between devices, and ThunderboltTM 4 for up to 40 Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth.
Video calling has never been more important, and the Aspire C27 responds to this need with a 5.0 MP webcam and two stereo microphones for high-quality video conferencing—and with a 91.14% screen-to-body ratio, the display looks gorgeous. It can also be tilted (-5 to 25°), allowing users to find the perfect angle before getting started. Acer BlueLightShield technology provides more comfortable viewing, and once the call is over, a physical webcam cover provides privacy and peace of mind.

As a final touch, this ultra-slim AIO delivers tidy and space-saving cable management, keeping the workspace free from distraction—and being finished in black with platinum details, the Aspire C27 and Aspire C24 look incredibly sharp, too.
The exact specifications, prices, and availability for the Acer Swift X models, Acer Aspire C27 and Acer Aspire C24 will vary by region. Stay tuned for more details on Acer’s website.

Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission review – A well thought-out card battle game

Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission was launched a little while ago by BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment and so far, the turn-based strategy card battle game has been received positively by fans of the genre. An added bonus if you are a huge Dragon Ball fan, to be frank.

In case you didn’t know, Super Dragon Ball Heroes is an extremely popular Japanese arcade trading card game in the form of physical cards and arcade machines. So, good job to BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment for bringing it to Nintendo Switch and Steam to provide a whole new experience for the fans. I may be a big fan of the anime series but when it comes to Dragon Ball games, I’m honestly not a big fan nor I’ve played any games of this genre before. Nevertheless, let’s get right into this short review.

Story
To keep it simple, Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission takes place in Hero Town where the Dragon Ball Heroes card game is the most popular form of entertainment. Then you are supposed to go on a journey, not just to become the champion but also to restore peace in the world as you battle both fellow competitors and antagonists from the virtual game world.

The storyline of Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission is not boring but definitely not one that will keep you engrossed for long either. It’s a pretty good game to kill off some time when you’re bored but to play it continuously for hours? Nope, I’m not having any of it and I would say it’s mainly because of the battles (which I’ll get into shortly).

I like how they implemented the idea of villains making their way out of the game by taking advantage of the anomalies to infiltrate Hero Town. The Hero Switch idea is pretty interesting too, allowing the characters in Hero Town to enter the game as powerful avatars to take on villains themselves in order to stop the anomalies. From a fragile kid (the main character) to a never-seen-before Dragon Ball character, that’s honestly pretty cool. Overall, it’s an interesting way to put together a realistic world and the Dragon Ball universe.

Graphics
The graphics are definitely not top-notch but they are not unimpressive either so for me, I’d gladly play the game without any complaints. The characters are somewhat quite well-designed and the smooth-flowing animation is more than enough for me to enjoy the game. Overall, the game does pretty well in the graphics aspect.

Though, I feel like they could’ve done much better with the main character’s in-game avatar. The option to customize our avatars should have been made available because no matter which warrior race players are going to choose, it’s still going to look exactly the same as some other characters in the game. I chose the Saiyan female warrior race and the avatar looks exactly the same as Note (one of the earliest characters players will meet), even the clothing! It’s like they are clones but they are actually completely different characters. Absurd if you ask me.

Gameplay
How is the game played, you ask? To keep it simple, it’s a strategy game that requires you to build the best 7-men deck out of an astonishing 1,000 cards featuring over 350 characters from the Dragon Ball franchise. There are three main battle types, namely Hero, Berserker and Elite, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Other basics include bringing cards into the support area to restore stamina, nicely-timed Touch Ability Actions which are activated by timely touching or swiping the screen (for Nintendo Switch), earning gacha tickets to be used in the shop and much more.

The battles in Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission felt exciting at first and I was really eager to learn all there is to learn in the game. However, it slowly got boring as I tried to play it in one go because every battle is literally carried out in the same way. The ways characters attack, the ways special skills activate along with most other actions displayed during battles, almost all of them are duplicates.

Thanks to Great Saiyaman 3, I had an easy time getting through the early stages. To be frank, I was struggling to understand the combat system in the game so without him, I’d have been extremely lost. Luckily, guides and tutorials are extremely helpful in this game to help players understand the game better.

Besides having an endless list of characters who have featured in every Dragon Ball series so far, the best thing about the game for me is definitely its unpredictability. It’s not just parts of the story that are unpredictable because I can say the same for the characters as well.

It’s kind of complicated to explain so I guess a simple example would do. Imagine one of your cards being Mr Satan and he defeats Golden Frieza. Also, imagine Vegeta during the Namek saga turning into Super Saiyan Blue. Yes, things of such unimaginable scale could very well happen in the game and you’ll never see it coming at all. Of course, it wouldn’t make sense if these crazy occurrences were to happen in the anime but this is the part of the game where I actually find it most enjoyable.

Verdict
I may not be a big fan of card strategy games but I still found the game to be quite fun and mind you, I’m actually quite early in terms of progression and who knows, it might even be more fun once I’ve tried the gacha out. So, if you are a card game enthusiast who likes Dragon Ball, you should really, really give Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission a try. Lastly, I hope they bring this game to mobile platforms because it’s going to do great there, in my opinion.

Japan To Investigate Apple, Google Antitrust Claims

Japan is looking into Apple and Google ‘s alleged chokehold over the mobile marketplace, following the lead of both South Korea and the state of California earlier this year.

The investigation is being conducted by the Japanese Fair Trade Commission (JFTC), and will look into how competition has remained static for so long in Japan for both Apple and Google.

It won’t just be limited to the mobile market, as the investigation will also look at the smartwatch and other wearables and the possibility of static developments in the platform.
Here’s the description of the investigation, courtesy of Nikkei Asia:

Tweet to @GamerBraves

The antitrust watchdog will compile a report outlining OS market structure and the reason why competition has remained static. The commission will work with the central government’s Digital Market Competition Council, which is moving forward with its own market probe.
Practices found to be anticompetitive will be itemized in the report, along with possible violations of Japan’s law against monopolies.
The year has been full of regulatory bodies staring into the mobile market and how it operates. With the market continuing to grow every year, it makes sense that they’d want to make sure everything was above board.
The complaints mainly come from the fact that every phone either runs the iOS App Store or Google Play store, with no way of installing third-party storefronts on the former.
With games like Genshin Impact continuing to make money, there’s a lot of reason to make sure that Apple and Google’s platforms are maintaining healthy business practices instead of snuffing competition

Detention Exhibition opening

Developer Red Candle Games announced that their game, Detention, will have an exhibition at the Songshan Culture and Creative Park in Taiwan. They did not include an English translation of their announcement, but you can still find the original post on their Facebook:

大家好，我們是赤燭

因緣際會下，我們於今年初將 #返校Detention 授權給聯合數位文創，這幾個月看到策展團隊密切籌備《返校Detention‧實境體驗展》，很開心我們的作品能夠再此以不同的媒介與大家互動，展覽時間從7月6日起至9月20日止，地點在松山文創園區 北向製菸工廠，屆時歡迎大家前往參觀，後續相關消息請持續關注展覽方資訊返校-實境體驗展

The exhibition’s page can be found here. It will run from 6 July to 20 September 2020, presumably assuming the coronavirus has abated. Rough translations does indicate they suggest attendees wear face masks regardless.  You can learn more about the Songshan Culture and Creative Park here, but it touts itself as the “Creative Hub of Taipei”, with an objective to nurture creative talents and energy. The park itself will be free admittance, but individual exhibitions will be subject to their own admission fees, if any. Further details will be announced at a later date regarding the nature of Detention‘s exhibits.

Detention getting an exhibition is quite something, considering the developers aren’t the biggest names, and it’s not the first time the game has been acknowledged to have quite the impressive impact culturally. Detention, as well as Devotion, were added to the Harvard-Yenching Library earlier this year for preservation, even if Devotion remains unavailable to play for the general public.

Blokuzu Project – A Unique “Pinball-type” Mobile Game!

Blokuzu Project is the first mobile game launched by Bluegri. The game uses the old-school pinball mechanics where you need to keep the “ball” alive. References from other old-school games like Atari’s Breakout that was first released back in 1976 or Arkanoid that was released in Japan arcades by Taito in 1986 can also be seen in this game.

If you’ve followed us long enough, the game actually launched their pre-registration back in December 2017. The old-school inspired mobile game is simple to play as all you need to do is keeping the ball alive and hit enemies by bouncing it on them. There’s also a special skill system where players are able to activate the characters’ skills to unleash higher damage of the ball upon release or AoE damage to hit multiple enemies at a time.

Destiny Knights Review – Hackin, Whackin, Smackin

Following up its release of Knights Chronicle, Netmarble is back with Destiny Knights and the reason why we are comparing the two is the fact that they play very similarly, which may or may not be a good thing, depending on your preference for these sort of games.

The moment you get to your first fight, you will realise that this action RPG implements a rock, paper, scissors combat system, and quite literally the case too, as character classes are denoted accordingly. This essentially means that rock type heroes will inflict additional damage to scissors type enemies, while scissors type heroes are effective against paper foes. On the other hand paper type heroes will counter rock opponents.

Playable units have two unique abilities which you can either cast by tapping or drag and aim for additional precision. If even that is too much work for you, many of the fights can be automated, although we suspect that the you may not want to resort to that for the later stages. Your party consists of three players and an assist, the latter aiding the fight by being a charge attack with a cooldown.

Being a modern mobile title, the game boasts a lot of eye candy. The art style seems to draw the middle ground by neither being too overly anime nor too realistic. Think of it as being a discount Bravely Default game and you will have the right idea.
With regards to plot, the story of Destiny Knights is just serviceable and serve to push the players along as they progress through the many stages which increase in difficulty. If you would like to take a break from the campaign, there are special dungeons which you can attempt which yield very nice rewards, although they are limited in tries, though they refresh constantly. Once the single player mode has gotten dull, you can take your game to the next level by engaging in the PVP mode or joining a guild to partake in raids.

Gacha is the name of the game here, which is to be expected. The question now would be how generous the game is with letting F2P players have fun. For the most part, you do not quite need the best units to clear the game, although some characters surpass others by a longshot in terms of stats and abilities. The game does throw a bone of sorts by guaranteeing a top rarity unit with your first 10 roll which you get after a brief tutorial. In other words, rerolling in this game is fairly painless.

There is much to do in Destiny Knights, as you would have come to notice if you reached this far into the review and you are pretty much limited by the stamina you have. The game does grant you a lot of it at the start but once you decide to extend your stay, managing that resource will become imperative.

Blue Archive Karin and Asuna Bunny Figures Announced

The Good Smile Company has announced two new bunny girl scale figures based on the characters Karin Kakudate and Asuna Ichinose from the popular mobile game Blue Archive. They are referred to as ‘POPQN Versions’.

We haven’t seen models of the figures yet but Good Smile Company has posted the artwork that the figures are inspired by on their Twitter:

The two are depicted in bunny girl outfits, seemingly playing a card game (that kind of looks like Uno) at a casino. The costumes are based on the Bunny girl alternate costumes that players can pull for them in Blue Archive.
The figures are still early in production so they don’t have a price or release period. They haven’t even said what size they’ll be, although I doubt that’d be as expensive as say, the Freeing bunny girl figure line considering how big and detailed those figures are.
Within the story of Blue Archive, Karin and Asuna are members of ‘Cleaning and Clearing’ a school club at Millenium Science School. While they appear to be a maid club, they are in reality a special force squad that is tasked with removing any potential threats to the school.
The Karin and Asuna bunny girl figures are based on an illustration drawn for Blue Archive by the artist POPQN (hence the name).

Blue Archive is available for iOS and Android devices.

Monster Rancher for mobile to launch on 28 November 2019

It wasn’t too long ago that we reported on the Monster Rancher franchise about to make its return on the mobile platform.

To recap, the port will have all the contents from the original PlayStation game including breeding and battling monsters. Instead of using CDs like the Playstation game, there will be PVP and you will be able to select names and artists from a database online to generate monsters. In the original game, it used to be CD playback to generate monsters.

Netmarble’s Phantomgate Now Up In Stores!

Phantomgate by Netmarble was first announced back in August 2017 for South Korea. The mobile RPG adapts a classic side-scrolling, turn-based RPG for both iOS and Android. Though it has been a year since the English version was soft-launched in Australia, the game is now finally available for download worldwide! Just last month, Netmarble had launched the pre-registration which rewards players with an Earth Essence Box Tier 1, 100 Gems and 30,000 gold!

As players begin their journey as a Guardian to guide the last Valkyrie, Astrid, to fulfill her destiny, players will be recruiting other characters to help you on your journey. Players will get to explore certain stages, solve puzzles, battle monsters and collect keys to unlock different gates which will lead you to a boss battle. There’s even real-time PvP as well to test your team build!

Though it’s a turn-based battle system, there are certain features that makes the game unique and interesting. During battle, there are random buffs or debuffs that will appear on the screen where players will need to drag over to the party. Some of the buffs can be really handy or can be your demise if you accidentally dragged a debuff instead.

The graphics is unlike most current RPGs that features high-poly graphics. Phantomgate has a different kind of art which does not look like your usual 3D models but it is colorful, beautiful, and uniquely high-res on mobile. If you’ve pre-registered before, you can collect your rewards in-game now!

Azur Lane OBT Equipment Rundown

Now that you have familiarised your with the basics of the game, it may finally be time to move up to something more complex. The following will be a quick explanation on equipment basics, made as easily understandable as possible. Of course, if you require more in depth information, there is always the really good fan wiki, but for the average player those numbers may be unnecessary and overwhelming.

Checking the Details tab of your girls and you will immediately see their Equipment loadout, to which we will explain each one by one.

Guns

DMG – This is rather straightforward. The first number denotes the base damage each shot does, while the second is how many shots are fired per volley
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

Firing Angle – The angle in which the gun fires. In this example, the gun is only able to fire in a 40 degree radius. Destroyer guns have a 360 degree radius so they can essentially fire targets behind them.
Spread Range – This is the distance between each volley. You want this number to be as low as possible so that they are more focused and tight. While a high number here means you will be able to hit more targets, more often that you are going to be missing those shots.
Firepower – How bonus this weapon grants to your shipgirl’s Power.
Fire Rate – Essentially how fast your guns are able to fire. You want to bring this number down as much as you can and that can be done by Enhancing the weapon. The shipgirl’s reload stat will affect this as well.
Range – Self explanatory.
Ammo – There are three ammo types in this game, namely Normal, High Explosive (HE) and Armour Piercing (AP). Whenever possible, opt for guns that have HE and AP ammo, since the former shreds smaller ships while the latter punches a hole in larger ships and also goes through targets to hit others.
Torpedos

Most of what has been explained for guns apply here as well. You are only limited to three choices at the moment, so go for whatever is the highest rarity in your inventory.
Anti-air Guns
These are not really your concern until at least Chapter 12 in the game. As with torpedos, just equip whatever AA guns you have that are the best, and you should not have any trouble with enemy aircraft.
Dive Bombers/Fighters

Pay no heed to the DMG number and instead focus on the Tiers (T1, T2 and T3). The bombs are what deal damage to vessels, while the cannons decide your anti-air capabilities. Note that this specific fighter is capable of dropping payload, although this does not apply for all. As such fighters without bombs are incapable of damaging vessels directly.
Torpedo Bombers

Torpedo Bombers come in two variants, the first one shown here which is known as the ‘Torpedo-Common’. When torpedos from this aircraft are dropped, they travel in a straight line. Meanwhile, the ‘Torpedo-Sakura’ variant has homing capabilities, although if the target is too fast, there is a chance of missing completely.
Auxiliary Equipment

There are way too many of these to list individual, but they are for the most part self-explanatory as well. You essentially want a mix of offensive and defensive add-on so play around to see what fits the shipgirl type and the enemies you are facing. An SG radar is highly recommended for each fleet as they lower the odds of you being ambushed.

New Pokemon Movie releases in Japan, sits at no. 2 spot behind Demon Slayer

On Christmas Day, Pokemon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle (also known as Pokemon the Movie: Coco) opened in Japanese theatres at no.2 in the box office.

The film, directed by Tetsuo Yajima (who also directed Pokemon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution), scored an impressive rating of 9.3 on IMDb at the time of writing. It would have topped the Japanese box office, if not for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train staying in theatres for almost three months straight.

Mugen Train is currently the highest-grossing film in Japan of all time, dethroning Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away, netting 32 billion yen as of 27th December. The film continues to be a record-breaking global phenomenon, despite its unavailability in many regions.
On the other hand, Pokemon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle made a respectable 700 million yen figure in the box office since release. It is the 23rd film in the Pokemon franchise. Secrets of the Jungle also marks the first time Generation VIII features on the silver screen.

According to MyAnimeList:
The new film’s story is set in Okoya Forest, a Pokémon paradise protected by strict rules that forbid outsiders from setting foot inside. The film centers on Coco, a boy who was raised by Pokémon and also considers himself as one, treating the Mythical Pokémon Zarude as his father. Ash and Pikachu encounter Coco during an adventure. The film focuses on the theme of a “human raised by Pokémon,” instead of the previous films’ focus of the “bond between a human trainer and their Pokémon.”
You can watch the movie’s trailer here:

With COVID-19 greatly impacting film distribution from overseas, studios in Japan seized the opportunity to release their films more aggressively. For the rest of the world, we eagerly await the time when these movies make their way to our local theatres.

Frostpunk 2 confirmed in new trailer

11 bit studio’s teaser back in June turns out to be Frostpunk 2, as announced in a new trailer uploaded by the studio on YouTube.

Frostpunk 2 is the sequel to the highly acclaimed, BAFTA-nominated society survival game that blended city building, strategy and management gameplay, creating a brand new genre. Its successor takes place 30 years after the apocalyptic blizzard storm, and Earth is still overwhelmed by the neverending frost and harsh, icy climate.

You play as the leader of a resource-hungry metropolis where the expansion and search for new sources of power is an unavoidable reality. After the age of coal, conquering Frostland for the oil extraction industry is expected to be the new salvation of what’s left of humanity. However, change does not come easily, and not everyone in this new multi-layered society will welcome this new direction.
Demands and expectations of various factions will raise tensions and evoke conflicts, but will a cold-blooded rule and a machiavellian approach to politics be necessary? As the everlasting cold continues its grip on the city and outside threats arise, you’ll need to make sure your people are united, driven, and ready for difficult, unavoidable sacrifices!

Currently, the game is set to release on PC via Steam, GOG and Epic Games Store. Considering that the first game eventually released on Mac, consoles and even mobile, fans can expect the sequel to follow suit.

The Witcher 3 Delayed on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S Indefinitely

The upcoming PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt have been delayed indefinitely says developer and publisher CD Project Red.

In a tweet, CDPR says that they are going to do the remaining work on the port of The Witcher 3 in-house and will require more time to make the game for the next-generation hardware.

We have decided to have our in-house development team conduct the remaining work on the next-gen version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. We are currently evaluating the scope of work to be done and thus have to postpone Q2 release until further notice. 1/2

The Witcher 3 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S was reportedly going to release in Q2 of 2022 however it is unlikely that this will be the case now. With the game delayed indefinitely, it may very well not release this year at all, especially if they are completely shifting developments teams from an outsourced developer to in-house.
CDPR has said they will update fans with more information “as soon as we can”.
The developer’s previous game Cyberpunk 2077 was criticized for feeling unfinished on the PS4 and Xbox One. It was later found that much of the development staff felt the game wasn’t ready for its 2020 release.
With this in mind perhaps it is best that CDPR take their time in updating The Witcher 3 and make sure that it is properly polished for its next-gen debut.
For those that want to play the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, it is available for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

A big reason to check out the SSSS.Dynazenon OST is the full version of All This Time, the track first used in the PVs for the anime.

The album contains 27 tracks in total, with songs used in the background from the anime, including the tracks from the most recent episodes, such as Grid and Dyna 108Bpm, which is the combination theme for Kaiser Gridknight.

It also includes HumanLove, which is the more generic techno-sounding track in the early stages of the weekly kaiju fights. All This Human, the klaxon-sounding song from Episode 10, is also included here.

Thankfully, all the tracks are pretty abstractly named, so if you’re worried about potential spoilers there aren’t any that could allude to the last episode, which airs this weekend.
SSSS.Dynazenon is a spinoff of SSSS.Gridman, an anime that is itself an offshoot of the Gridman 90s Tokusatsu show. Rather than just be a retelling of it, the anime has ties to the original series, with Dynazenon itself following suit.

Steam Next Fest June 2022 Roguelike-2 Boogaloo Impressions

It’s time for another session of the Steam Next Fest Roguelike / Roguelite diving, because I can never get enough of roguelikes / roguelites even if not all of them will get their hooks into me. It’s always a fun genre to get into because the randomness is appealing and seems easy to set up, and makes for wonderful quick sessions in between, until someone balances things horribly wrong.

Much like the previous demo blitz, I’ll only be trying out the games that do have the roguelike / roguelite tag, giving around 30 minutes per title or until the demo ends, whichever comes first.

PIQUED
A totally scientific unit of measurement for games I’ll be interested to check in full, or at least would recommend to try.
NITRO KID
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves

Tweet to @GamerBraves

With legally distinct Bruce L33 in the demo, proceed through the levels with a mix of TRPG and deck-building. You can choose from 3 basic starting decks, complemented by Infusions which function as usable items with limited charges. There’s another dimension of strategy as you utilize movement and positioning to make your cards cost efficient. I think my only nitpick would be the user interface, and the fact I couldn’t seem to quickly use cards, having to drag them to the hero even when there’s only 1 valid target.
DOME KEEPER

Dig your way to resources while fending off the creatures on the surface. “Brutal” is the intended way to play the game, which is not my cup of tea, opting for the “Hard but Doable” option instead. I did enjoy juggling between the extraction and the defense, if stressful as after some point, it feels like it can slip way too out of control. I especially feel that it’d be fun with co-op, theoretically assigning some to watch for the enemies while the other gathers, with other parameters to introduce to keep the challenge when there are more hands on deck. Or the dome, as it were.
CULT OF THE LAMB

Cutting myself on the sheer Edge aside, the game’s art style is striking with the lamb looking positively giddy at the thought of an apparent eldritch being drafting the formerly-deceased sacrifice into forming a cult to bring back said being. There are toggles for the various post-processing effects if you’re like me, one with motion sickness.
There’s the element of base management since you need to feed the followers you’ve indoctrinated and the possibility of themselves breaking free of the brainwashing. Pacing of action can get quite frantic as you swing your weapon around and all. Controller recommended.
TYRANT’S BLESSING

Similarly to Lost in Fantaland, this is another title that has tactics with its roguelite. All units seem to have very low HP, and that’s definitely by design: your enemies’ moves are fixed, so if you can use the environment to bamboozle them or shift them around, you won’t take damage. However, it’s not as easy as that as you have “Shades”, an afterimage that can still take damage unless you use the Dash command. There’s more tactics than roguelite from what I’m getting, so that’s something to consider.
One more thing I wanted to note: I’m assuming it’s from an asset pack but I was surprised to see Lyndal’s Queen’s Order icon I first saw in Breach Wanderers here. Breach Wanderers has since redesigned this particular card, Syphon Card.
via Falterfire
BLOCKY DUNGEON

Who’s up for some Tetris? I’ve never really played Tetris before, so you can imagine me struggling to place the blocks and despairing. Without doing the tutorial first, I didn’t even know how to clear the lines, expecting them to poof automatically without considering the fact I would’ve sent the little knight tumbling into the eternal abyss if so. Would definitely be interested in seeing the Tetris 99 players go absolutely ham.
DEADLINK

In a setting that reminds me of Ghost in the Shell and Psycho-Pass, you get to play a cybernetic soldier gunning down mooks in rundown, neon-lit alleyways. Action is quite frantic as you can lob grenades, EMP, and hook yourself towards enemies to Mark them. Starting ammo and HP is really limited, and Marking enemies is, as the game informs, how you survive, blasting them down to replenish yourself. There’s not much to say about the game itself, as the action will do all the talking.
POWER CHORD

It has the style, definitely. The narrator is trying really hard to keep that growly voice, bless. The writing has great flavour, eliciting a few chuckles from me. Since I’ve previously recommended games based on visuals, I would be remiss not to point this one out.
Your band has 4 members with their respective archetypes, and they share one pool of energy. Barriers completely negate one hit, armour blocks that much damage, items can only be equipped to one person and can’t be moved around… if you’ve played one deck-building rogue-type game, this should be easy to pick up.
WAIT AND SEE
As these are demos, the ones in this category may have interesting ideas, but what I consider their main selling point isn’t quite functioning, or just needs more time.
BEAUTIFUL MYSTIC SURVIVORS

This demo has some really dramatic music when all I did with a dubiously dressed nun was walk around the battlefield, letting my power-ups smite my enemies with the power of magic and / or wishful thinking. With enemies capable of spawning right at your feet or a swarm zooming across the screen, if your stuff isn’t strong enough then you could die unceremoniously. There doesn’t seem to be much here now mechanically, so come back later. There’s no shame in admitting you’d stay for the vapour-wear.
DOTAGE

The most “random” this game gets in 30 minutes would be ambient events and the prophesized events that happen every now and again. You can prepare for those events ahead of time to get better outcomes instead of disaster. I find the city building aspect quite convenient, but that’s not necessarily the roguelite experience most are looking for.
Just a side note, I am very appreciative of the option for more dyslexic friendly text. This just needs to be adjusted so that it doesn’t spill all over the menus in the future.
NOT FOR ME
These games include those I can’t play due to things such as motion sickness, or I simply don’t “vibe” with the mechanic. Or I’m bad, in any combination of these. Probably mostly bad.
FABULAR: ONCE UPON A SPACETIME

Cosmolizards! I enjoy the presentation and all, moving from node to node and the various encounters offering the possibility to learn more lore while you decide on how to proceed. The combat can be frantic, with perfect timing attacks and blocks you can execute, all the while hoping you don’t careen out of control into the asteroids. I simply don’t prefer this kind of combat, but this is one I will recommend to those who want something more active.
EYES IN THE DARK: THE CURIOUS CASE OF ONE VICTORIA BLOOM

Anyone who’s read my reviews or off-hand comments should be well aware of my aversion to platformers. Still, it doesn’t mean I can’t try out one. The titular Victoria is a spunky girl who can tinker with her Flashlight to defeat enemies, with various upgrades and on-the-spot scrapping she can do to pursue whatever creatures that have spirited away her grandfather.
I unfortunately encountered a bug wherein the slow-mo from the Slingshot persisted throughout the file on defeating a boss – unless it’s not a bug, which rather dampened my enthusiasm. Otherwise, it’s got interesting mechanics that seem to encourage both defensive and offensive playstyles, so give this one a go.
WE WHO ARE ABOUT TO DIE

As warned, this game features an unusual combat system where attacking requires you to drag your mouse back and swing it in the right direction. It quite fits its gladiatorial theme, as the poor sod thrown in there to fight for your life, and the patrons that be are hella bloodthirsty. At its current stage, it can feel clunky, but I do like the weight it gives your actions, even if I don’t enjoy the mechanics themselves.
Your zero-to-hero can be further trained, of course, with the slew of permanent upgrades you can unlock, and potential weapons you can wield. The game really leans into its theme, as opponents can and will make bets against you and you can show ’em up to reap those rewards, the aforementioned patrons, and more features to come.
VERGEWORLD

I do not have a controller or flight stick to accurately judge this, unfortunately. The mouse is not the greatest tool to fly a ship, as proven when I crash into the ground not 30 seconds upon take off. Still, if you’d like to speed through canyons, by all means, do give this a proper shot.
HONORABLE MENTION
BENEATH ORESA

It definitely has style, as turn-based, deck-building doesn’t need to be so static. It’s also definitely a demo, as the tooltips aren’t entirely implemented for keywords, there doesn’t seem to be the option to change targets, and the changing camera angles / slow-mo is firing off my motion sickness. I encountered an enemy that uses a bomb that’s thrown at their feet, but since it’s not tile-based, judging the hitbox is another problem.
I can at least gather there’s at least 2 zones to a combat encounter, but personally, I’d ask for more visual clarity to start.

Now go forth and do your own demo diving as there’s only so many one person can reasonably do at a time, and I’ll see you next rogue.
This is also a casual appeal for Amplitude to let me into their OpenDev for Endless Dungeon. Please.

The tough get tougher: ASUS TUF Gaming A15 review

The spread of COVID-19 has seen a surge of demand for laptops for working from home, with ASUS wanting to fill that need with their TUF gaming laptop series, refreshed for content creators and gamers around the world. This machine we got comes with the AMD Ryzen 4000, among other things. Let’s just get into the review, shall we?

BUILD AND DESIGN
The TUF series has typically kept to a conservative look, but ASUS is trying something new with a design that lives up to the “tough” name. With a military-based design, the A15 is plastic-made, but the finishings give it a new shine, with the lid appearing to be a steel piece with screws at the four corners.

On opening the lid, you get a full sized keyboard with numpad and large touchpad. This area has an aluminium finishing, and the keyboard has RGB lighting for that gaming laptop feel. The display is 15.6 inches with small bezels on the corners. There’s even a small hinge of sorts so that you can open the lid much easier.

The MIL-STD-810H is built for toughness, as you might expect, and is capable of withstanding falls and water or sand damage, but we weren’t about to try it out on the review model… other than that, the ports you get include: 3x port USB 3.2, 1x port USB-C, 1x port HDMI, 1x port Ethernet RJ45 (LAN), dan 3.5mm headphone and microphone jack.

DISPLAY

The TUF Gaming A15 has a 15.6 inch FHD IPS LCD with a choice of 60Hz or 144Hz refresh rate. The review model is the 144Hz version, which would naturally lend itself better for gaming. Unfortunately, it only covers 45% sRGB, with a fairly dim display, with colours that don’t really pop and low brightness as well. It’s neither the worst or best display you can get, but it’ll do its job when it comes to gaming or more creative editing.

Here is where the TUF A15 shows its true colours. Just check out the specs this tough customer is packing:

The review unit came with the AMD Ryzen 7 4800H with 8GB DDR4 SDRAM 3200MHz, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD 5400 RPM, NVIDIA GTX 1660Ti and 6GB GDDR6 VRAM. These specs put the TUF A15 firmly in the mid-range gaming laptop, capable of scoring quite well on a variety of benchmarks. Tests were run with Apex Legends, Need for Speed Heat, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Valorant, the laptop able to run them at their highest settings with a consistent above 60FPS frame rate.

Playing Apex and Valorant for hours didn’t show any noticeable slowdown. Need for Speed Heat saw the game lovingly rendered, as the Ryzen worked away to maintain this great performance. Red Dead Redemption 2’s as a whole didn’t give the A15 any particular stress either, but it’s the one that gave the machine the most problem; it’s not noticeable but performance did drop some, but it’s something you’d expect with how intense the game is.
Apex Legends

Valorant

Need for Speed Heat

Red Dead Redemption 2

Here are the benchmarking results:
PC Mark 10

3D Mark

UserBenchmark

Cinebench R20

Asus promises this new Ryzen chip is far superior from the older processor. While the A15 does get a little heated up during play, the cooling system is effective enough to vent it away from reaching critical levels. While gaming, there were no obvious signs of actual overheating, so it’ll function just fine.

If it’s not gonna chug during your gaming sessions, it won’t fail you on everyday use either. The speakers by themselves, if you’re watching any videos, are a little on the low side volume wise, but as a whole, it’s still pretty good. Just don’t expect an audiophile level quality from this machine.
The TUF A15 utilizes a 48WHr battery, which runs out in at most two to three hours in power saving mode even with just Google Chrome open. Disappointing, but also fairly within expectations for similar machines.
CLOSING
The Asus TUF Gaming A15 is more than sufficient for most gamers, while you do various creative editing works on the side. The Ryzen 7 4800H provides an immense performance upgrade compared to the older models, and paired with the NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti, you’ll have pretty graphics to go with too. The design looks more modern, and is built to last. It has all the ports you might need too. The most it’s lagging behind in is the quality of the display, and its poor battery life. It’s still a good pick, if not for a machine meant to be on the go, so if you want something long lasting, then you can’t go wrong with the Asus TUF Gaming A15.

Bandai Namco shows off LayereD Stories 0

Bandai Namco has just released a new trailer for its upcoming mobile RPG title, otherwise known as LayereD Stories 0, which is due for a release sometime in Winter 2017.

The game has a rather interesting setting where the boundaries between Anime and Game are crossed. What this actually means at this point is unknown, but during Tokyo Game Show 2016 where the game was first announced, Bandai Namco stated that this would be a game made for everyone. Just about every asset in LayereD Stories 0, from its character design, illustration, voiceover work and even the theme song are contributed entirely by teams of volunteers.

N-INNOCENCE First Impressions – It Has Air Combos

N-INNOCENCE is Asobimo‘s latest mobile venture. It was initially planned to launch in Japan in November 2021, before getting delayed to 20 April 2022. Sci-fi-esque and mythology sounds pretty sweet in concept, but what is it actually like?

As usual, I won’t comment on the story since I’m illiterate when it comes to more than 1 kanji.
PRESENTATION
Let me get this off my chest at once: I think a number of the outfits are really stupid. There’s got to be a way to have girls look sensual and sexy without giving them what is effectively only wishful thinking and tape that you call “clothes”, but whatever. That’s not my wheelhouse, and if you like body suits, boobs (or lack thereof), thigh gaps, etc., power to you.

Okay, that’s over.
So, I think this game could have been the ill-fated BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War, and not just because I think it looks so incredibly reminiscent of Fate/Grand Order much like BBDW in its looks. The story isn’t fully voiced as far as I’m aware, which is a shame but not uncommon. The story cutscenes utilize Live2D for the actively speaking character, with static sprites for the rest. The unit models and animations are quite attractive and lively, with their attacks having sufficient weight to feel good.

GAMEPLAY

I’m not sure if it’s because I had to use a VPN to access the game, or it just doesn’t like being run via an emulator, but I was experiencing incredibly poor performance despite setting the graphics to low and unlocking the frame rate. The latter made the sprites move really smoothly when it does work, at least. I might be harder on the game because of these issues, so I’ll try to discuss the gameplay outside of it.

Combat basically involves chaining together the combos to get the enemy into Burst mode, wherein you can deal extra damage to it. Up to three characters – called “Avatars” – can be in your party with one guest support. Your trio can essentially tag in during Burst timings and you can keep the chain going. Naturally, they also have their respective Specials to unleash. The usual elemental weakness chart is here, while the “class archetypes” feel a little more diminished than most of its ilk.

Each character has a combo list. You can tap for quick attacks, or hold down for heavier attacks. Like I implied in the title, juggling enemies in the air is something you can do, like how my Hermes punts her target in their air when she triggers Burst. When defeating an enemy, they get this cool freeze frame action cam too! Asobimo did say they wanted this game to be akin to a 2D fighting game, which is pretty much the sole reason why I said BBDW could have been like this. Auto battle doesn’t do tag-ins from what I can see, so it’s not the best but hey.

As far as I can tell, the totally-not-Craft-Essences give your units another skill, so I can see the potential to make an all-rounder. Limit breaking units requires duplicates (which gives shards), with costs going up with increasing star rank up to 5-stars. Increasing star rank unlocks more skills. The not-Craft-Essences can be limit broken too, of course.

GACHA
At a 2% rate, it’s a little on the low side. It looks like it’s a 50% chance to get the rate up character, though whether there’s an additional pity on top of that I’m not sure. Unlike FGO, N-INNOCENCE has a spark system! Huzzah! 200 total sparks can get you the featured 3-star character.

CLOSING THOUGHTS
Outside of the performance issues that killed my drive to continue trying the game, I think there’s something quite interesting here. Sure, you have the option to mindlessly mash or put on auto to do your regular grinding. However, if you find a character whose moves you like, that should be a good enough starting point to actually learn how to use their combos.

If N-INNOCENCE was some totally new fighting game IP, I genuinely think it could try finding a cult following. I’m not going to claim it has the systems that will appeal to the FGC at large, but who’s to say it won’t find a spark somewhere? I don’t think it’s for me (and it’s not because of the character designs). However, I do think this is one you SHOULD try for yourself to decide.
