Spring is in the air with Black Desert SEA Cherry Blossoms!

Spring has arrived at long last to the world of Black Desert SEA, with cherry blossoms heralding its apperance. Adventurers will be able to collect special items across various seasonal events. On top of a revamped Shakatu’s Seal event, the Cherry Blossoms Events will be taking place in Black Desert SEA, offering great rewards!

The renewed Shakatu’s Seal event will now see Adventurers exchanging Shakatu’s Seals from the NPC Dellus, Shakatu’s right-hand man. Adventurers can also obtain Shining Shakatu’s Seals to exchange for exclusive rewards such as Gold Bars, Advices of Valks, or Awakening Weapon Exchange Coupons from the NPC Raom.

Overwatch map contest sees future Penang designed

Tan Qi Xyuan, an illustrator based in Malaysia, had designed a rather interesting submission for the 2020 Southeast Asia Overwatch Map Design Contest. While she was unable to make the deadline, Malaysians can be proud of her nevertheless, as the end result was quite a sight to behold.

The artist in question created a concept artwork of Georgetown, Penang, complete with just about every detail you can think of, from the Komtar building to the colonial shophouses. Furthermore, there were nods to famous eating locales such as the 888 Hokkien Mee, and even an acknowledgement of the Rapid Penang public transportation system that has been given a spruce. Another neat addition is the inclusion of red rickshaws that loop George Town. Staying true to the theme, the wheels on the rickshaws have been modified to become hoverpads.

It is quite the shame that the submission was never made, since something like this would have been interesting to see in Overwatch, as it features futuristic versions of real world locations. Current maps at the moment feature sites in South Korea and South Africa, so no location is too exotic for the game. Perhaps the artist can make another attempt at trying to include her work in the same contest that will likely be held next year. Be sure to drop by the artist’s Facebook page for more artwork and give her your support.

Asus Zenfone 8 Review – Small Is Powerful

We got to check out the new Asus Zenfone 8, the premier phone that brings a compact size and a surprising punch to it. With its small size, you’d think it was one of those novelty phones. However, just a quick hands-on with the phone shows that it’s anything but.

With the ASUS Zenfone 8 launching in Malaysia, how does it actually stack up? Read on and find out.

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

Features And Portability, Oh Yes!

With the Zenfone 8, you get a really good feeling phone in your hand. The thing feels pretty solid, despite a relatively small size.The phone is built with pragmatism in mind- it’s got an easy to use one-handed mode, letting you hit the top of the screen with your thumb by bringing the whole thing down.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

On top of that the blue button on its side is a Smart Switch, which can be programmed with up to two different functions based on how you press it. It’s great especially when you’re in a hurry, since it can be programmed as more than just a lock screen button.
Out of the box you get a protective case, a charger, and a phone who at every junction has chosen sanity
One of the best things about the Zenfone 8 though is that despite being a smaller phone, it still crams in one of the most controversial features of modern phones- the 3.5mm headphone jack. Personally I am in the staunch pro-jack camp, so knowing the Zenfone 8 will work with any of the headphones I have lying around the house is a huge boon to my opinion of it.
It does also support the USB Type-C interface, meaning it’s not like it is a relic of the past or anything. You’ll still be able to connect to most modern phone accessories that support the interface, and all without having to give up your tried and true headphones.
One gripe with the Zenfone 8 though is definitely its speakers. While it’s fine for every day use, the Dual Speakers feel kind of lacking in bass, and can make using it to play music while doing your chores feel kind of underwhelming unless you’ve already invested in external speakers. That being said, things like gaming don’t feel as affected by it, and it won’t really matter if you’re the type to permanently use earphones anyways.
On the other hand, the phone also has amazing battery life, with a 4000 mAh battery. With an intense gaming system, it took about one and a half hours to bring it down from full charge to about 65%. Meanwhile, ordinary every-day usage like just browsing your apps gets you a much longer lasting phone, taking about 10 hours before it hits 20%.
On top of that if you’re really on a long haul, the phone also comes with a variety of profiles including an energy-saving one to keep you away from your charger for that much longer.
Class Screen And Top Tier Camera
The Zenfone 8 is a return to the days of phones unquestionably fitting in your pocket, with a 5-inch screen. While you may mutter to yourself about how the big number isn’t as big as you like, the screen really packs a punch, with 120hz refresh rate and a 1080p resolution. Scrolling through apps like Twitter feels surreal with how smoothly it glides, and I definitely appreciate the addition of that.
It’s also got some really bright colors, which makes scrolling through apps like Instagram a delight as you gush over other people’s photography skills. Your own photos will also look great in great part thanks to the 64MP main camera and 12MP Ultra Wide lenses, allowing you to take all variety of artistic shots.

On top of that the phone’s night mode works wonders, taking dark night time photos and making them still shine through with all the tiny details that give your nightlife character.

Personally, I feel like the small size and amazing camera are a huge boon for the Zenfone 8. I’m one of the holdouts who liked smaller phones, but I also like how far phone cameras have come compared to the olden days, even having multiple lenses. Having the two together is a great combination, and much obliged.
The phone’s camera also has a whole host of other features, such as HDR video recording, a document mode for scanning documents as PDFs and even HyperSteady Video, which makes use of the Ultra Wide Lens to better stabilize your footage.
Gaming Performance

On the gaming front, it’s not like the Zenfone 8 performs badly, either. The Zenfone 8 runs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G chipset, one of the premier chipsets on the market right now. Naturally, this allows it to run games pretty well.
While it’s definitely not pushing 60 frames per second, the phone still manages to get Genshin Impact running at well over 30, hitting even 45 seconds if you’re not running the screen recorder, at the highest settings. The smaller size does have its drawbacks here, and the phone does run hot especially if you’re in the middle of an intense gaming session.
It should be noted one game it runs really well is League of Legends: Wild Rift. This probably says more about the game’s optimization than anything else, because even in the middle of a hectic team fight, the Zenfone 8 was maintaining just under 60 frames per second.
Despite not being a bespoke gaming phone like the ROG Phone 5, the Zenfone 8 is definitely punching way above its weight class- I mean it’s straight up using the same chipset as the ROG Phone 5, so it makes sense. I can’t promise you’ll be able to spot your friend feeding the enemy team with the smaller screen, but if you’re getting the Zenfone 8 you definitely won’t have to worry about giving up your games for it.
It even has its own Game Genie, letting you do things like start recording or disabling notifications while you’re savoring your lunch break by giving Andrius, Dominator of Wolves the what’s what.
Closing Thoughts

When all’s said and done, the Asus Zenfone 8 is an amazing piece of hardware, choosing practicality at almost every corner as it actually fits in your hand while still matching pace with a lot of modern phones.
On top of that it’s got a great price point, with the 16GB Ram variant running you RM3299, while the 8GB variant does 2699. I wouldn’t go so far as to call it cheap, but it’s definitely cheaper than you’d expect for a phone of this quality.
It also actually includes a charger, which only further puts the Zenfone 8 on the side of sanity. Suffice to say, I’d definitely recommend checking it out if you’re looking to upgrade your phone.

However, players can still pre-register for the game via DiabloImmortal.com and download Diablo Immortal once it releases. Android users will also be able to pre-register for the game from the Google Play Store.
According to the game’s developer blog, if over 30 million players pre-register for Diablo Immortal, they will then unlock the Horadrim Cosmetic set. In order to don this set of armor, players must complete the Diablo Immortal tutorial within 30 days after the game’s release.

Diablo Immortal has also revealed a greater amount for detail about their customization options. This was explained on their blog:
“Our plan is to roll out a new cosmetic set for all classes each month, themed after the month’s Battle Pass (Ghosts of Ashwold, above, is first). Purchasing the Battle Pass for a given month will allow you to unlock a cosmetic outfit for any one class, and purchasing the Premium Battle Pass will also include custom portal skins and portrait frames.
Other cosmetics will be available in the Shop. We also want to make room for cool free cosmetics, and a number are earned through play. Members of the Immortal faction have their own exclusive cosmetic sets unlocked as they raise their faction’s Dominance stat (which they can wear until they’re overthrown, naturally).”
It should also be noted that the game is listed with a launch date of June 30th. It has been made clear that June 30th is not the official launch date of Diablo Immortal, this is just a placeholder release period. The developers will update the community with the official launch timing at a later date.
Diablo Immortal is expected to be released in 2022 for mobile devices.

Borderlands 3: Moxxi’s Heist, Maliwan Takedown, updates

Hey-ho, Vault Hunters, Borderlands 3 is seeing its first campaign add-on, and other content updates! Moxxi’s Heist of The Handsome Jackpot is slated for a 20 December launch in Asia. Details were revealed on episode three of The Borderlands Show, with regular hosts Greg Miller and Fran Mirabella. Gearbox Studio Head Randy Pitchford was also present to delve into the details of the casino-raiding caper.

Moxxi’s getting you to seize control of a derelict space station, one built by Handsome Jack during his tenure as President of Hyperion. You’re right in thinking it’s probably the gaudiest gambling spot in the galaxy: neon signs, slot machines and gold statues. The other punters include deadly Hyperion Loader Bots, and lunatic looters trapped on board since Jack’s death. That’s not all of course:

Explore a glitzy new galaxy destination packed with unique zones worthy of Handsome Jack’s lavish lifestyle and dirty dealings;
Join Moxxi’s crew of eccentric characters and pull off the ultimate casino heist in a series of thrilling campaign missions;
Discover hidden secrets and strange happenings in The Handsome Jackpot via fresh side missions and Crew Challenges;
Get a blast from Pandora’s past when you battle the Hyperion forces that outlived Handsome Jack, including never-before-seen enemies and larger-than-life bosses;
Perfect your Vault Hunter’s gear loadout with all-new Legendary weapons and gear;
Expand your collection of cosmetics with even more customization items, including Vault Hunter heads and skins, weapon trinkets, an ECHO Device skin, and new emotes.

Moxxi’s Heist of The Handsome Jackpot is tuned for characters who are at least level 13, but Vault Hunters will be scaled up accordingly for higher-level characters for the challenge and appropriate loot. Sanctuary III must be unlocked, your space home base you reach at the end of the prologue. You can learn more here. Check out the gameplay below!

Moxxi’s Heist of The Handsome Jackpot is the first of four DLC packs in development for Borderlands 3, included in the Season Pass and Super Deluxe Edition. You can also play Borderlands 3 for free on Xbox One and Playstation 4 from 22 – 25 November.

Meanwhile, you can play Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite and Mayhem 4! The former is a brand new raid-style challenge for coordinated co-op parties of four max-level characters. Respawning is limited for that deadly flavour. The latter is a spin on Mayhem Mode: all player penalties are removed, and applies only two random modifiers: one for players, and one for enemies. It has its own exclusive batch of Legendary gear only available on Mayhem 4.

Other patch updates include:

All bosses will now have dedicated loot pools so you can more efficiently farm for coveted Legendary items;
Maximum Bank Space will be upgraded from 50 to 300 slots; as usual, SDUs that boost your bank size can be purchased from Marcus aboard Sanctuary III;
A Target Dummy wearing a very familiar mask will be installed in Sanctuary III’s shooting range so you can safely test out your weapons;
New Vending Machines will be deployed across multiple maps;
Players will notice overall UI performance improvements.

Last but not least is Mayhem 2.0. This is a long-term plan to overhaul Mayhem Mode with more UI support, new Mayhem Modifiers for more drastic gameplay changes, playlists, new rewards and additional Mayhem levels. More 2.0 information will be available next year.
Which will it be? Moxxi’s Heist, or the Maliwan Takedown?

Ragnarok Origin opens pre-registrations

Thanks to a tip from our reader, Marcus, Ragnarok Origin has opened pre-registrations since 24 April 2020. Interested players would be able to join in the Ragnarok Origin pre-registrations via logging in through Facebook, Google account or Apple account. Pre-registered players will also qualify to be part of a closed beta test, to be held some time in May. There are pre-registration rewards, though no apparent milestone rewards, for in-game items.

More applicable for Korean residents, pre-registrants can stand a chance to win gift cards, and additional rewards. 6 May seems to be when players can reserve names. Ragnarok Origin is basically a remake of sorts of the original game, with overhauled graphics, day/night cycles, and more. We had a gander at the game at G-STAR 2019, which you can watch below:

Hololive EN has announced the newest talent to join their lineup with the Vtuber Irys, following an 8 hour countdown on the official Hololive EN YouTube Channel. They also announced her official Twitter, which was immediately flagged for “unusual activity”.

While the talent herself won’t debut until 9am this Saturday, that doesn’t mean she hasn’t already begun Hololive EN’s defining appetite for trouble. Irys’ Twitter account was flagged for suspicious behavior, prompting a warning to come up when visiting her profile:

Irys has only posted one tweet since the launch, though it’s hard to tell if it was in response to the massive popularity or a similarly cryptic tweet as other Hololive EN member Gawr Gura’s signature “a” tweet.
“||:” , she writes.
Meanwhile, the announcement trailer for Irys joining Hololive EN, which launched alongside her Twitter, is currently sitting at over 257,000 views. Her official YouTube channel is also sitting at 84,200 subscribers, despite not having posted any videos at all.
Hololive EN, the English-speaking branch of the popular Vtuber/Idol company has come a long way since their debut last year, as member Gawr Gura just this week overtook Kizuna Ai to become the most-subscribed Vtuber on YouTube by passing the 3 million mark.

Of course, you can’t play any of these without a good controller and Impulse has quite a few of these on sale as well.

Considering how bad the Switch’s regular joy-cons can be, I’d highly recommend a Pro Controller and if you can get one at a better price, you definitely should.

Finally, Impulse is offering a number of figures, Pokemon trading cards, and other merchandise on sale. What better way to spice up your living space than with a new gunpla model kit or scale figure to guard you as you game late into the night?

Official sneak peak of PlayStation 5 revealed – Supporting 8K, ray-tracing and SSD

During a recent interview with Mark Cerny, the Lead System Architect of the PS4 has finally told us some details about Sony’s next-gen console aka PlayStation 5. It will feature a more powerful CPU based on the third generation of AMD’s Ryzen series. While on the GPU, it will have a custom variant of Radeon’s Navi family that supports ray-tracing and 8K visuals.

Get a sneak peek at PlayStation’s next-generation plans. https://t.co/rLPi7PPvqF

— PlayStation (@PlayStation) April 16, 2019

The AMD chip will also include a custom unit for 3D audio to deliver unprecedented audio effects. Current PSVR headset will be compatible with the new console too. Other than these, the next-gen console features an SSD that drastically increase the loading speed! For example, PS4 Pro takes 15 seconds to perform a fast-travel action in Marvel’s Spider-Man, while the new console only takes 0.8 seconds to do the same thing.

Azur Lane Uncensored Prinz Rupprecht With New Art Redesign

In a surprising move for a Chinese video game, one of the characters from Azur Lane, Prinz Rupprecht, got uncensored in her new design.

Prinz Rupprecht was added to the game last week on 14th July 2022. However, players realised that the new shipgirl was redesigned following yesterday’s maintenance. From afar, the changes are almost unnoticeable, as seen in the full art below:

The old design is on the left, while the new design is on the right. Prinz Rupprecht’s new design has her jacket pulled down, revealing more of her innerwear. In addition, more skin around her left armpit area is visible. There are slight changes to her hair and shading on her skin, but these are a lot less noticeable.
Despite how slight these changes are, most Azur Lane players are seeing this as a positive change, with Prinz Rupprecht getting uncensored. The game is published by Yostar and developed by Shanghai Manjuu and Xiamen Yongshi—all of which are based in China. Censorship is rampant in the country’s video game industry, so seeing a character from a Chinese video game showing a bit more skin instead of covering up is certainly unexpected.

Suspect Arrested By Police In Gilagaming PS5 Scam

The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) have reportedly arrested an individual in the ongoing row surrounding Gilagaming and an alleged PS5 scam.

According to Malay outlet Kosmo (article paywalled), the suspect is a 23 year-old male who was arrested in Pulau Pinang, but they declined to name the exact individual and if he was from Gilagaming.

“I confirm, a 23-year-old male suspect was successfully arrested by the police yesterday (the day before yesterday) in Penang,” says Director of Commercial Crime Investigation Department, CP Dato’ Kamarudin Md Din.
Accounts from both sellers paint the other as the scam artist
The case has been a hot topic on the Internet last week, as many who’d placed preorders with the store Gilagaming began to get riled up after they announced they would be closing for 10 days, assuming the seller had run off with all the money they’d made from preorders.Local Facebook groups began sharing the story, with the victims claiming the store had made off with more than RM800k in total preorders from the customers.

Meanwhile, the store had reportedly lost access to their Facebook page due to the influx of reports, further lending to the theory that they had done a disappearing act.
However the management of Gilagaming had then lodged a police report against their supplier, Setsuna Shoppe, claiming it was them who failed to produce enough stock to meet the demand, but was still holding the money and preventing refunds.
Meanwhile Setsuna Shoppe gave his own version of the events, leading to an awful lot of he-said-she-said, before the police finally got involved with the matter.

Tales of 25th anniversary stream announced

There will be a stream for the Tales of series 25th anniversary! While no date has been announced yet, we can expect it “soon”. According to Gematsu:

The live stream will feature game development stories and anecdotes with producers who have worked on the Tales of series, as well as discussions centered around user questions and survey responses. The latest information on the Tales of series mobile games, events, anniversary goods, and more will also be announced.

Presumably there could be a whole bunch of news regarding Crestoria, Asteria and Rays (Japan side) in regards to mobile games. Could fans hope on news on whatever Tales of Luminaria is, since its trademarking in Europe and Japan? Tales of Arise itself has also been delayed beyond 2020, missing its original intention to release to celebrate the anniversary.

Back in 2017, Idea Factory and Compile Heart announced a new game for mobile phones, Eshigami no Kizuna, that was to be released the following year in Japan from Sony’s subsidiary company ForwardWorks. After much delay, we will finally get the game to launch on 7 April 2020.

Eshigami no Kizuna is a collaboration with Tezuka Productions, the ones that brought us Astro Boy, which will feature illustrations from Compile Heart’s illustrator Tsunako (Neptunia series), Katsuyuki Hirano (Moero Crystal, Agarest War series), and Dakei Nanamei (Trillion: God of Destruction).

Samurai Maiden Review: Undercooked Gal Pals Just Doin’ Combo Like Close Friends

As a connoisseur of action games, my quest for good looking character action led me to Samurai Maiden– an anime style hack n slash with, how should I put it, undertones. Last we left off, this quest kicked off with Gungrave GORE- a game I really wanted to like but whose dated presentation and design ended up leaving my affection decaying like a radioactive isotope witha bad dodge button.

Considering it actually looks like it came out this decade, Samurai Maiden had a pretty easy lay-up to be a slam dunk title. Cute anime girls, tag-based combat and Kiryu Kazuma VA Takaya Kuroda voicing Oda Nobunaga, what else could you want in a game?

Related Posts

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

Well, first impressions aside, a lot more, apparently. Because the story of Samurai Maiden is a good one for game designers- one that says your elevator pitch needs a good follow-up.
It’s Got The Sauce, But In One Of Those Tiny Sample Packets
As someone who’s played  a lot of Musou clones, the bar wasn’t particularly high for Samurai Maiden. At the start of the game, it pretty much seemed like a game modeled after your Omega-W specialty with a pretty restrictive light combo and single-hit heavy combo. Once you get out of the tutorial though, you’re introduced to the game’s main focus: the affection system.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

Tsumugi, your main character, is flanked by three niche-fulfilling party members, all with their own affection systems. Switching between each of the girls as your assists and getting kills builds their affection points, which unlocks special scenes that in turn also unlock new moves. What I really love about this is that the new moves you unlock are actually functional- one of the earliest ones you get with Iyo, for example, is a proper combo for your heavy slash, making it way more viable.
The girls also sport Ninjutsu Skills- additional abilities like placing objects, or grappling unsuspecting fools towards you
It’s even better because each of the girls covers a specific type of move, so you know which ones you want to farm affection with if you want progress in that type of kit. Hagane, your court-mandated Onee-san type has her whole skill tree built around air combos- one of her earliest moves is a straight up Aerial Rave from Devil May Cry, and at around Affection Level 40 you even unlock a jump cancel.
One of the most radical actors though is the fox girl, Komimi. Aside from being voiced by the same voice actor as Chuchu from Gundam: The Witch From Mercury, her skill tree is entirely defense-oriented, letting you do things like fast recovery, as well as the game’s parry. The best bit is that her assist skill is so good that even if you don’t much care for the bratty tsundere archetype you end up leveling her up much faster than the rest of the gang just because her assist skill is a huge AOE.
Just getting the girls to over level 50 in affection (which doesn’t take all that long, mind you) and your moveset feels incredibly robust- Tsumugi is immediately thrown up the ladder of Character Action, which is a great feeling.
These Girls Need Polish
That being said, how the game lets you access these moves is a bit of a problem. One feature Devil May Cry got right with its moves is that any move with a specific input required the use of the lock-on button to do it. Samurai Maiden goes way more haphazard with its inputs, trusting that at no point is it going to mistake running and then doing an attack for a forward>attack input (spoiler: It does. All the time).
The result is that your moves just feel sloppy. That jump cancel I mentioned earlier doesn’t feel nearly as tight as other games that have it, and it always feels like the game’s internal logic almost doesn’t know that you have these tools.
It gets at its all-time worst with the parry. The parry button is actually pretty well-designed in terms of risk vs reward. The recovery is so long that you only get one shot per attack to use it. But because it’s also bound to the dodge button (it replaces your neutral dodge) and the attacks have different timings for dodging vs parrying, you’re going to find yourself more often than not accidentally dodging, eating a big swing and then losing half your health from your opponent.
It also doesn’t help that most of those assist abilities your party have often times just don’t really work. Both Hagane and Iyo’s skills will fire at where the enemy you’re soft-locked to was at the time of casting, and the hitboxes are so small that if they so much as move two steps to the right they’ll instantly miss. Considering your own moves have a ton of knockback to them, you can see how this is a problem when the game consistently tells you you should be comboing into the assists and vice versa.

This kind of stuff is so frustrating because the game itself has so many cool ideas. The heavily featured Devoted Heart is your install feature, and actually gives different buffs for which of the girls in Tsumugi’s party you end up smooching. Hagane, for example turns your dash into a damaging attack, while Komimi’s gives you a passive heal on top of making all your attacks deal secondary explosions after the initial swing.
C For Execution
While the combat in the game has a lot to praise, the actual rooms you get to use it in do not. I’m going to level with you, Samurai Maiden has some of the most boring stages I’ve ever seen, consisting of run>encounter enemy> Open next area levels mixed with incredibly boring enemy variation. The stages themselves barely feel cohesive, since one of the levels feature staircases and side paths that literally go nowhere.
The limited enemy pool really tips its hand when the game’s solution to difficulty is to just continuously chuck more of them at you. Minibosses and Stage Bosses are pretty much interchangeable, and the only difference will be that the Stage Bosses get a fancy health bar at the top of the screen. On one hand, I like the idea of the Doom-esque “Combat Chess” approach. But Samurai Maiden’s enemies feel so boring and undiverse it’s like I’m watching Full House instead of playing what should have been a slam dunk.

Worse still is that nothing you do has any real protection from the hordes of enemies- some of the assist skills will totally fail in the face of a random skeleton with a spear, and in the case of Iyo’s item-based ability can literally send you back to square one since getting hit can cause her to drop a timed bomb at your feet. I don’t mind the “make sure you’re safe to use this” approach of attack openings but the fact of the matter is Samurai Maiden so enjoys chucking skeletons at you that you’re rarely ever truly free enough to use any of the game’s coolest tools.
The real kicker is the  game’s checkpoint system. Unlike games like Devil May Cry which might just deduct your overall level score for having to restart from a checkpoint, Samurai Maiden has this absurd two-death rule: if you reach a checkpoint shrine, you can resurrect there after one death. This is a clean restart, with all your items restored as they were when you first hit the shrine. On the second death though, you’re out and have to reload the whole level.
It really caps off just how bad the stage design is since once you’re at a challenging encounter, you’re going to keep dying to it and play the entire trek back to the boss, really exposing how much of the game’s difficulty is just hurling a box of Warhammer miniatures at you.
For The Love Of God, Shut Up
“Your honor I don’t think we can call this subtext anymore”
Of course, it’d be remiss to not talk about the game’s incessant love of not shutting up. Samurai Maiden features fully voiced cutscenes, which are impressive for just how much everyone talks. I should stress that these are all actually really high-quality- the problem is just that they drag on forever, really killing the momentum if you’re having a binge session with the game.
The worst part is a lot of it tends to be just kind of meandering. While Tsumugi’s chemistry with the cast is genuinely quite charming, there’s something about just wanting to do sick combos then being stonewalled by a bunch of girls bickering about how gay it is to hold hands while sleeping that really irks me. The game’s use of “cuts” to act as camera cuts has just enough delay between shots that you think the cutscene’s over, and just piles on the frustration.
Like I said, there’s no way I can imagine that fixes this problem- it comes largely from the fact that the part of any brain that does combos and the part that reads about gals being pals are fundamentally different, and maybe you shouldn’t put one after the other to keep your players hooked.
Closing Thoughts
Despite teleporting into scene to place the healing jar, Iyo then has to walk the additional 3 feet to actually set it down
All in all, I really wanna like Samurai Maiden. There’s a lot of really fun ideas at work here, and visually it’s one of the most impressive games with an anime art style I’ve seen. It’s a great example of a game that probably had a strong pitch- but so many of its flaws leave it feeling like it could have spent a bit more time in the oven, especially with regards to the combat encounters.
It’s very clear someone on the team has a strong love of character action- that passion shines through in the kind of decisions about what goes into the combat of Samurai Maiden. Tying it into the game’s affection system also marks a good sign of a game knowing what its focus was gonna be.
But it’s the fact that every idea it has feels poorly implemented that leaves a poor taste in the mouth. Instead of being hyped for what the game’s gonna challenge me with next, instead I’m just left with a feeling of dread that the next mission is somehow going to find new ways to cram more enemies to pelt me off screen.

The game seems to take place before the end of the original Persona 5. It’s wintertime, graduation is looming, and the Phantom Thieves have gathered at LeBlanc to celebrate. This is brought to an abrupt end as a strange phenomenon besets the TV, and the cafe begins to shake.

As the Thieves find their bearings, an eerie light envelops the cafe door. Upon cautiously opening it, they find a distant and unknown world waiting on the other side. The mysterious world is reminiscent of medieval Europe, and the group is attacked by a band of soldiers called Legionnaires. Labeled as rebels by their assailants, Joker and his friends are surrounded, and all seem lost.

Erina is a new character exclusive to this game who saves the Phantom Thieves from a life-or-death situation.
She’s less suited to meticulously thinking things through than she is to recklessly charging in to save those who are suffering. However, it’s this drive that has earned the trust of her followers in the Rebel Corps.
She enlists the Phantom Thieves in her efforts to revolt against the oppressive rulers of her city.

Strategic Three-Person Battles

In this tactical RPG, players form a party of three using Joker, the rest of the Phantom Thieves, and newcomer Erina. Positioning and coordinating your team are crucial to the game’s exciting new combat system.

While the game features a new combat system, players can still enjoy the unique combat of the Persona 5 series, whether shooting from behind a wall, getting up close and personal, or of course summoning a Persona. And if an attack downs an enemy, One More attack offers the chance for a follow-up.

The new combat system features a new take on the series mainstay All-Out Attacks. Surround a downed enemy with all three members of your party to unleash a powerful Triple Threat attack.

DLC

The DLC can be purchased individually or via the Digital Deluxe Edition. More details will be revealed at a later date.

Matt Danner Talks About Using The Whole MTG World Guide For March Of The Machine

A multiverse under siege. Familiar faces return, with some sporting harsh, metallic new features. A giant tree is also there. These are just part of the vistas from the newest Magic: The Gathering set, letting you play out iconic battles against or for the Phyrexian invasion.

With March of the Machine out and in full swing, it’s always nice to take a nice cup of compleat-a-cino and look back at the highs and lows of the set. To that end, we spoke to Matt Danner, Senior Creative Lead at Wizards of the Coast about the thrilling conclusion to the Phyrexian saga.

So we’ve had quite a bit of the Phyrexian aesthetic with the most recent batch of sets, did you ever worry about needing to make this set’s Phyrexians stand out in any way compared to the previous ones?
Matt: March of the Machine was interesting in that you were seeing known characters becoming Phyrexianized. We also got to see the corruption of the planes, and how that was unique to each individual world. Additionally, we really wanted to show a more fear-inducing transformation process as the denizens of the multiverse see their friends transform.
Were there any concepts that came up while you were exploring what you wanted March of the Machine to be that you really went ahead and rolled with?
Matt: We create world guides for all of our sets to provide our artists with visual targets. This set was so intense because most of the world guide made its way in, which is rare. The compleation of gods was something that came up during the concept push for the world guide that ended up in the set with the compleated Heliod.

Similarly, when going over sketches and concepts for this set, were there any elements you saw early on and were like “That’s wonderful, we need to roll with this” ?
Matt: Literally, all of the stages of the invasion. The way story is conveyed on cards isn’t linear, so fans see the cards in a random order, meaning we needed to make sure we were conveying the escalating tension of the invasion through the visuals of the portals.
Personally I quite like Phyrexians, and they’ve easily been the stars of the whole arc with their unique body horror aesthetic. Considering we’re not actually meant to be rooting for them, could you talk about making the heroes look equally impressive?
Matt: Elspeth’s return and Wrenn becoming a main set primary character were highly impactful, and we needed to make them visually sing. We wanted all the characters on all the planes to have a sense of urgency and agency. The denizens of their planes aren’t running in terror, rather they are rallying to fight for the future of their homes. Kaldheim in particular was eager for the fight!

Is there anything you’d like to say about any of the newer talent come to work on March of the Machine? Any in particular that stand out?
Matt: All of the artists that worked on March of the Machine helped make the set amazing. We asked a ton of them, and they crushed it. The battle images were very intensive, and those artists delivered. In particular, the artists who had their initial Planeswalkers images debut in this set, Cristi Balanescu’s Wrenn and Realmbreaker & Denys Tsiperko’s Elspeth are very memorable (Author’s note: you can see the art at the top of this interview!)
Go to top
March of the Machine is arguably Wizards of the Coast’s most elaborate set yet- combining all the various planes of MtG lore and putting them at war with the mechanical Phyrexians. The sets are available now, complete with themed Commander Decks so you can have your favorite heroes duke it out, even if they’re a Spinosaurus reduced to a walking skeleton.
Our thanks to Matt and Wizards of the Coast for the interview,!
