PUBG Mobile Review – An ultimate battle royale experience on mobile

Launched last Tuesday (20 March) and rose to the No.1 spot for the most downloaded mobile game in over 100 countries rapidly, we can say that PUBG Mobile is the hottest mobile game now. Of course, we have tried out the full-featured mobile port from PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds too, so here is our PUBG Mobile review!

Introduction
As most of you may have known, PUBG Mobile shares almost everything with the PC version of PUBG – from the remote 8 x 8 km island, the weapons, the vehicles to the gameplay. 100 players will parachute onto the massive map then loot for weapons and supplies, and fight to be last one standing (for the chicken dinner!). Similar to PUBG on PC, the mobile port allows solo, duo and squad mode.

Gameplay and Features
The map in PUBG Mobile is exactly the same as the PC version, even the names such as Rozhok, Prison, School and Sosnovka Military Base. Since it is on mobile, the graphics are not comparable with the PC version but it is still on the upper level for a mobile game. The FPS on mobile version could be better too.

Also, some optimization is made to ease the players. For example, now you can pick up nearly supplies or weapons automatically, the recommend (better) equipment will be highlighted in yellow as well. You will be able to move faster under knocked down condition compared to the PC version too.
During the early stage (when you are still a newbie), you will be matched up with bots more often so you can train yourself better and get your chicken dinner easier. When you are over a certain level, you will be matched up with real players which raise up the difficulty to win a match. However for veteran PC players, the mobile version will probably sound too easy for them.
In term of combat aspect, PUBG Mobile is having a lower fluency compared to PC version as it is really difficult to move and aim a target perfectly at the same time. There are no in-app purchases that directly add advantages to your character (which is a great news) yet, the coins you earned in-game can only be used to purchase new outfits.

In short, PUBG Mobile is a simplified and easier version of PUBG, but you can still experience the same excitement as the PC version (especially if you are playing with the buddies!). The mobile game is now available on both Android and iOS now, download it and fight for your chicken dinner now!

*The mobile game is reviewed on honor View 10
honor View 10 specifications:

Display: 5.99-inch FHD+ LCD display
Resolution: 2160 x 1080 pixels
CPU: Kirin 970 Octa-core Processor

The Review

                    PUBG Mobile

7
Score

PUBG Mobile is sharing almost everything with the PC version, but it is simpler and easier to play compared playing it on PC. The game is totally free with no in-app purchases too so everyone can join the fun together. For the veteran PC players, PUBG Mobile will probably be too easy and bored.

PROS
 It inherits almost everything from the PC version It is newbie-friendly Server is separated, so you could have a lower ping in-game

CONS
 Combat fluency is lower (compared to PC version) Lack of slow-walk option

Review Breakdown

We give PUBG Mobile a 7 Out of 10

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite teaser released

Since the announcement, Niantic has been silent regarding their new project, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. Now, Niantic has decided it is time to reveal something on their latest game.

Niantic released a short teaser of the game that shows a woman catching a golden snitch (similar to how Quidditch works). A poster is shown in the trailer as well, warning that the Wizarding world is in danger of exposure.

Fans can sign up for the game now at the official site. Unfortunately, no information on a beta test exists at the moment hence the sign up may look suspicious. On the bright side, the website provides clarification on the game’s setting. The website states:
“Please resist the urge to panic. Traces of magic are appearing across the Muggle world without warning and in a rather chaotic manner. We worry it is only a matter of time before even the most incurious Muggles catch wind of it. We call on all witches and wizards to help contain the Calamity or risk the worst of times since You Know Who. Brush up on your spells, get your wand ready, and enlist immediately.”

Judging from the statement, the primary objective of players is to prevent magic from leaking out to the Muggle world. Not much else is known about the game.

At the moment, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite will unlikely be released in late 2018 as previously announced. For more info, you can check out the official website.

About Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia

In Runersia, a continent created by the Rune God, mana rains down endlessly. Eons ago, five Mana Stones were brought forth by this continent and passes through history alongside human nations, eventually embedding into special Brigandine equipment to create Rune Knights – special individuals who can wield the mana power and stones embedded into their armor to cast skills and magic as well as summon and control ancient monsters. Six Brigandine Countries of Runersia, each with conflicting ideals beliefs, histories, and faiths, are divided by Brigandines of Justice, Glory, Freedom, Sanctity, and Ego, while the sixth country exists without Brigandine. The goal is to win battles to expand their country’s influence until the entire continent of Runersia has been taken over by the player.

Featuring a Fantasy world conquest within the turn-based strategy genre, Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia will offer hundreds of hours of immersive gameplay in this stunning new campaign for conquest. Players choose one of six countries to assume the role of the ruler aiming to conquer Runersia, and command more than 100 Rune Knights throughout the six nations leading various monster troops of various dragons, ghouls, and fairies, into fierce battles on hexagonal grid maps in the tactical turn-based battle system.

It doesn’t seem as though this was the result of any bad blood between Michael Mumbauer and That’s No Moon, as he expressed support for the studio despite his departure.
“When TNM’s debut game comes out, I will be amongst the first to play it and when it wins awards, I will be celebrating with them”, he says. “For now, I leave Las Vegas, with an eye towards the future”.

Even his former coworkers commented on the post, wishing him well on his journey.
“Mike you did an incredible job building this company and I truly can’t thank you enough for trusting me, empowering me and giving me an opportunity of a lifetime to help build and grow this company! Truly wishing you nothing but the best my friend!“, says Kelly Barschig, VP of Talent Acquisition at That’s No Moon.

Google Commission Rate Lowered In South Korea

Google has announced that it will be lowering its commission rate on in-app purchases made on its platform, following mounting pressure against platform holders for what some describe as a monopoly. It should be noted that the move seems to only affect developers based in South Korea.

*EDIT: Previous versions of this article implied the change would be happening across the platform, but Google’s global HQ has not issued any statements to reflect that. This article has been edited to clarify that it would only be affecting developers in South Korea.

According to Korean news site Yonhap News Agency, Google’s Korean branch told a Parliamentary committee that it would be reducing its 30% commission rate down to 15% if developers earn less than 1 Million USD a year, effective July 2021.
Epic has been behind a lot of the anti-platform sentiment, after Fortnite was removed from the app store for trying to bypass Apple’s commission rates.
Apple did a similar move late last year, allowing many smaller app developers to keep a larger cut of their profits. This might be related to ongoing lawsuits planned against Apple and Google, challenging what’s seen as a monopoly due to the fact neither platform holder allows for competing app stores and alternative payment methods on the platform.

It’s been previously reported that a majority of app developers don’t make more than 1 million USD a year, so many of the smaller developers hurt be the Google commission rate should definitely see some relief once the new policy is implemented. Considering Yonhap News Agency implies that the cut looks at developers, not apps, the main target of Google’s high commission rate would be much larger developers like Epic, who would be charged based on their total earnings rather than be exempted for every app they developed that isn’t Fortnite.

Garena Arena of Valor Superman Review – The Man of Steel is quite overpowered

Superman, the Man of Steel has been out in Garena Arena of Valor! Did you have fun playing it or are you having troubles when facing him? We have tried out the hero and here is our simple Superman review where we will introduce you the hero and giving out some tips on how to use him effectively.

With his mobility and abilities scaling base on his max health, Superman is a really powerful hero from early to late game. Check out his abilities below!

Passive – Flight (Physical)

Superman has two modes: flying and walking. He gains 2% movement speed and charges energy for every 100 units he walks, and takes flight once energy is fully charged. Flight mode grants 20% movement speed when moving towards an enemy, and his normal attacks deal additional damage equal to 12% of his own maximum HP. Superman exits Flight mode when he is hit with a control effect that lowers his movement speed to 375 or less.

Ability 1 – Kryptonian Strength (Physical)

Superman uses his ice breath to generate a blizzard that deals 250/500/750/1000/1250/1500 (+1.5 AD) physical damage to enemies and slows their movement speed by 50% for 1 second.
If in Flight mode, Superman rams into enemies dealing (1.0 AD) (+12% Maximum HP) physical damage and then fires his heat vision dealing an additional 250/500/750/1000/1250/1500 (+1.5 AD) physical damage.
Ability 2 – Man of Steel (Physical)

Superman unleashes his full power, which immediately frees him from control effects and significantly increases his movement speed.
If in Flight mode, Superman will slam the ground and knock back enemies, dealing 335/470/605/740/875/1010 (+1.12 AD) physical damage as well as rid himself of control effects and increase his movement speed.
Ultimate – Speeding Bullet (Physical)

Superman taps into his full potential, which increases his charge up speed by 100% for 10 seconds.
If in Flight mode, Superman will ram into his enemies and knock them back, dealing (1.0 AD) (+12% Maximum HP) physical damage, and have his charge up speed increased by 100% for 10 seconds.
Check out our gameplay below for a preview of how to use Superman!

Superman is a really powerful hero: As a Warrior, he can crash enemy team formation by jumping in or pushing the enemies. He could also roam around to harass the enemy team carries and chase those who are running low to eliminate them with his burst damage. He can clear minions and push tower really quick too!
However, his true potential only shows when he is in Flight mode so you will need to charge up energy always to activate the Flight mode (which means you will have to move all the time, sometimes it is quite tiring). Depends on the situation, you will need to use different abilities to bring more advantage to your team too.

For example, if there are multiple enemies sticking together, you can use your ultimate skill to push everyone towards a wall as well as stunning them and let your teammates finish them off (you will need your teammates’ cooperation).
Also, although Superman is deadly, he is scared of heroes with control abilities too (for example, Aleister and his Magic Prison). Superman can’t really do anything if he is slowed or stunned but thanks to his second abilities, Man of Steel, he will have a chance to cleanse all the control effect and run away. It is recommended to bring Purify talents to remove all debuffs and more importantly, provide a higher survivability for Superman.

Recommended Arcana (attack damage-focused):

Onslaught

Attack Damage: +2
Armor Pierce: +3.6

Assassinate

Attack Damage: +1.6
Movement Speed: +1%

Skewer

Attack Damage: +0.9
Armor Pierce: +6.4

Below is my usual item build:

Gilded Graves is useful for Superman to get rid of disables, while Crimson Banner and Gaia’s Standard help him in recovering his health. Muramasa is for armor pierce and alternatively, you can choose Rankbreaker if your opponent has less tanker and more marksman. You could take Mail of Pain too if your team is not tanky enough as it deflects damages to the opponent. Shield of the Lost provides good attributes while reducing enemies’ attack speed. Lastly, Ancestral Glory provides you with a second life after death.

These are all of my opinion and review on Superman! What is your opinion or item build for Superman? Tell us in the comment below!

Design
With a 6.67-inch screen and dimensions of 162.5mm x 76.7mm x 8.5mm, the POCO F4 GT is certainly on the bigger side, similar to the iPhone 13 Pro Max or Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra in size. Even though it is thicker and heavier than other phones out there, it still feels comfortable to hold and use.
The POCO F4 GT is available in 3 different colours—Stealth Black, Cyber Yellow or Knight Silver, like our review unit in the images you see. Do bear in mind that while they all look very nice, you’ll still find the occasional fingerprint that you leave on its back.

One of the cool features that you’ll immediately notice on the phone is the magnetic pop-up triggers on the side. Granted, while gaming phones with trigger buttons are growing in popularity, they’re still not that common in Malaysia, so it’s great to be able to finally use one. Not only are the triggers stable, responsive and great to use when playing games, you can also customise them to use as shortcuts for activating the camera or turning on the flashlight.
The display is also pretty sweet. With a resolution of 2400 × 1080 FHD+ and 120Hz refresh rate, watching videos or playing games on the POCO F4 GT looked astounding and felt immersive. I also like the shape of the display, which is on the flat side. Compared to phones with curved displays, it really feels like I’m operating a handheld gaming console.

Camera
Despite being promoted as a phone dedicated to gaming, the POCO F4 GT isn’t slouching on the camera department. It comes equipped with 3 cameras on the rear—a 64 MP main camera, 8 MP ultra-wide camera and 2 MP macro camera. The phone uses a 20 MP camera on the front.
Like many smartphones, it comes with night mode as well as many other filters and features for those who like to take pretty shots. Have a look at some of the photos I took:

Sure, there are better phones out there for taking pictures, but the POCO F4 GT still takes decent photos. Just exercise a bit more caution with the camera, as it is protruding out a bit more compared to other phones.

Performance
Being a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 gaming smartphone, the POCO F4 GT is touted to have 20% faster CPU performance and 50% GPU performance. While I can’t tell you if it’s exactly that much smoother, it does run very well.
The Snapdragon 88 processor coupled with the UFS3.1 super-fast flash memory makes simultaneous downloading a breeze. The phone was capable of running extremely smoothly no matter how hard I try to overload it with non-gaming apps and tasks.

Testing the phone’s hardware on Geekbench net it a score of 6143, which is a solid good result for a flagship phone. Also, it has 12GB RAM and 256GB of memory, which is pretty standard.

Battery
The POCO F4 GT boasts a 4700mAh dual-cell battery and supports 120W super wired fast charging. To illustrate how fast it charges, during my tests, it went from 1% to 100% in about 30 minutes.
Watching videos on the phone via YouTube for 2 and a half hours only drain the phone’s battery from 98% to 68%. Playing video games for 2 hours reduces the battery percentage from 48% to 4%.
One thing to note is that the charger is huge, especially when compared to other games. However, the head of the cable does have a neat feature, which is that it charges through the side of the phone instead of the bottom. This design makes it a lot more ergonomic to play games while the phone is charging. Also, the cable is also really long which helps to accommodate this.
If you’re planning to use the POCO F4 GT for general use, the battery can easily last you for a day or more. For long gaming sessions, it will be able to run demanding games for over 6 hours, which is very impressive.

Gaming Performance
Sure, the POCO F4 GT may be able to last long while playing games as mentioned in the previous section of this review, but can it run them smoothly? I decided to put the phone to the test by running several games on it. Note that all of these games were ran performance mode with the highest graphics setting.

PUBG: New State operated above 60 FPS, even when there were explosions and intense gunfighting all around.

League of Legends: Wild Rift ran very smoothly without any lag, maintaining a consistent 60 FPS at all times.

Apex Legends was also rather smooth, comfortably running between 40 – 45 FPS without any issues.

Genshin Impact clocked in between 30 – 40 FPS. Whenever there’s a boss fight or a fight with a lot of enemies and effects flying around the screen, the FPS will drop to 30.
Overall, the shoulder triggers were really helpful, especially for the shooters. It feels really comfortable to use. No offense to the ROG Phone 5‘s sensor triggers, but you simply can’t replace the feeling of pushing a button.
Another thing to note is the heat. Genshin Impact did cause the phone to heat up considerably while I was playing it. However, the other games were able to stay relatively warm.

Closing Thoughts
With the tagline of “The Apex of Power,” the POCO F4 GT truly lives up to its name. Complete with top-notch battery performance and how smoothly it runs games, it’s basically a handheld gaming console at this point.
This is definitely one of the better gaming phones out there. The triggers are great to use and playing it while charging isn’t annoying at all! POCO did a fantastic job at designing a phone for gamers, so if you’re mobile gamer, do consider getting one for yourself.
The POCO F4 GT has an early bird price of RM 1,999 for the 8GB+128GB version and RM 2,199 for the 12GB+256GB version. Visit the POCO online store on Shopee and Lazada to check them out yourself.

New Transformers: Forged To Fight trailer revealed

Hasbro has just rolled out a new trailer for their upcoming fighting game, Transformers: Forged To Fight, at New York Toy Fair held today in the US.

If everything looks familiar, there is a good reason for that as the game is developed by Kabam, the same people behind Marvel Contest of Champions. So while battles take place in a 3D space, you actually fight on a 2D plane like normal. That sounds all dandy, but the kicker has to be the developers announcing that they are feature characters from almost every generation of Transformers, which should be a boon for all diehard fans of the old franchise, as they are given a new lease in life.

Star Ocean: The Divine Force coming in 2022

The first installment in the Star Ocean series released in 1996, and five mainline games, one spinoff game, and one mobile game have been developed to this day since then. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the series and its latest mainline title – Star Ocean The Divine Force – been announced.
Star Ocean The Divine Force is developed by Square Enix and tri-Ace, and set to release on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in 2022. The game features a story that blends sci-fi and fantasy, a rich lineup of characters and side stories, a battle system delivering exhilarating combat with easy controls, and more.

Star Ocean The Divine Force Features:

A story that changes based on the choices made, where heroes intersect between the two worlds of sci-fi and fantasy
A rich lineup of playable characters
Freedom to fly around the environment
Three-dimensional traversal and exploration where everything in-sight is a field for adventure
The Star Ocean game with the fastest and mightiest action in the series

Protagonists from two different civilizations collide
The “Double Hero” system returns in which the story spanning the stars and beyond will unfold from the perspective of each protagonist, one from an advanced civilization (sci-fi) and the other from an underdeveloped planet (fantasy). Events that unfold throughout the story as well as the ally characters you end up with will differ based on the protagonist the player chooses.
In this game, there is range of playable characters in addition to the two protagonists, and you can control each of the party members.
Raymond
A young man from the nonfederated planet of Verguld. He is the captain of the merchant vessel Ydas under Lawrence Logistics, a company run by his family. His confidence often sees him rushing recklessly into situations when it comes to his friends and work, much to the distress of the Ydas crew. Raymond has a big heart, affable nature, and a good nose for business. His lack of affiliation with the Pangalactic Federation means he is not bound by the Underdeveloped Planet Preservation Pact. This sincere openness to meet others where they’re at regardless of technological advancement wins Laeticia over, but leaves Albaird wary.
Laeticia
Princess of the Kingdom of Aucerius: a large territory located on the underdeveloped planet of Aster IV. Her radiant and resolute personality is admired throughout the kingdom, but her prim demeanor betrays her penchant for wearing armor and remarkable skill with the dual blades. In order to remedy the encroaching threat of a neighboring country, Laeticia sets off on a secret journey to locate a certain individual. She meets Raymond along the way, recently stranded on Aster IV. The two agree to help one another and begin traveling together.
Elena
A crew member of the merchant vessel Ydas and Raymond’s first mate. She manages the operation of just about the entirety of the ship, and her vast knowledge and cool demeanor have earned her the complete trust of Raymond and the crew. Elena is constantly surprised by Raymond’s proclivity for recklessness, but all the same she holds a high opinion of his leadership qualities.
Albaird
A childhood friend of Laeticia’s, he now serves her as a knight of the Kingdom of Aucerius. He excels at semiomancy and the wielding of chakram. His strong sense of loyalty to Laeticia means he is never far from her side. Albaird’s left arm is covered down to his fingertips, and he occasionally gestures as if to protect it. He does not trust Raymond upon meeting him while escorting Laeticia on her secret journey. Loathe to go against her wishes, however, he reluctantly allows Raymond to join them.
Freely fly around the environment
In this game, characters have the freedom to move around 360 degrees, and can even fly through the skies.
Players can fly in the sky and traverse three-dimensionally through one of the largest fields ever in the series.
Whether they explore by hopping around rocky stretches and rooftops, or seamlessly enter battles after jumping off cliffs, more than ever, the game will allow players greater freedom in their approach in both battles and their adventures.
The fastest and mightiest action in the series
Battles have also evolved in Star Ocean The Divine Force. Characters can make an assault straight from traversing at incredibly high speeds, disappear instantly before an enemy, or even defeat a horde of enemies with a skill that enables on-shot kills. Experience tough yet exhilarating battles while freely flying around the world.
The fate of the universe awakens when two heroes cross paths
The Pangalactic Federation. From their earliest days in the Sol System, this organization has sought to bring peace and tranquility to the galactic multitudes. As their reach has expanded through the universe, many a hero has served under their banner; saviors to planets in need.
But by the year 583 SD, things have changed. The once peaceful Pangalactic Federation is now known for assimilating planets against their will. Once standing for justice, they are now wreathed in darkness.
Raymond, captain of the merchant vessel Ydas, departs from the nonfederated planet of Verguld on a standard transport mission. The job is simple, the route familiar, yet things go awry when the Ydas is attacked by the Astoria: a battleship carrying a member of the Pangalactic Federation’s preeminent Kenny family.
Raymond and his crewmate Chloe are forced to abandon ship amidst the chaos and head for the remote, underdeveloped planet of Aster IV. Before their escape pods can even land, a burst of energy resembling an EMP from the planet’s surface knocks out their systems and brings them crashing down. They find themselves separated and stranded on an unfamiliar planet.
Upon landing, Raymond is immediately attacked by some of the less-than-friendly local wildlife. But when all seems lost, his life is saved by the crown princess of the Kingdom of Aucerius: Laeticia. Marveled by the sudden appearance of this man who rode into her life on a “shooting star,” Laeticia asks Raymond to help save her kingdom from the threat of the neighboring Vey’l Empire. He accepts in exchange for help finding Chloe.
So begins their journey on Aster IV. However, Raymond will soon discover he has yet to escape the shadow of the Pangalactic Federation.
“Whence do you hail, Ray?”
“I’m from another world─one that’s far, far away in the sky.”
This encounter, and the ensuing stand against an overwhelming power, marks a new chapter in galactic history.
Star Ocean The Divine Force comes to PS4 and PS5 next year.

Durango: Wild Lands could have been the first and most popular mobile survival game a few years ago had it not been thwarted by years of prolonged delays. By Nexon, the game was initially launched in South Korea first at the start of last year before getting a release in Indonesia a few months later.

Sony shows comparison of PS4 Pro vs PS5 loading speeds

When Sony confirmed that there is a new PlayStation console in the works, faster loading speed was promised. During Sony IR Day 2019, Sony gave a demonstration that gives us hope of a day without long loading screens.

Sony's official video comparing performance of PS4 Pro vs next-gen PlayStation pic.twitter.com/2eUROxKFLq

— Takashi Mochizuki (@6d6f636869) May 21, 2019

In the video demo starring Marvel’s Spider-Man, the Sony PS4’s loading time for a scene was 8.1 seconds while the same scene loaded within 0.83 seconds on the next-gen console (assumed to be PS5). Next, the video showed how well the PS5 also deals with on-the-fly loading/rendering. While the PS4 Pro encountered a stutter midway, the PS5 ran the scene smoothly.

Playstation IPs on mobile to complement PS5 releases?

At Sony‘s Corporate Strategy Meeting held 26 May 2021, the discussion for bringing more Playstation IPs to the mobile market has been put on the table. The convergence of “Social and Entertainment” makes communication increasingly important with regards to entertainment, which can be seen in Sony’s investment in Discord.

With the large catalog of first-party Playstation IPs, a transition to mobile gaming to complement their AAA or live-service games is being looked at. They will be doing so through some franchises, though specifics were not provided at this juncture. Due to experiencing some early success with experimenting with mobile games and apps with the intention to provide more choice to gamers, a more concerted effort to expand to the market is only natural.

You can see for yourself just a few of their mobile experiments like their offerings on Google Play, with their IPs coming together in a title like Playstation All-Stars Island, or the aforementioned companion apps.
There’s already hints at expansion in service like the Playstation Plus Video Pass for Sony Pictures’ offerings, so the subscription service doing something similar to Xbox’s Game Pass looks pretty likely too. In any case, as services become increasingly interconnected, we’ll have to see about its implementation before further comparisons can be made.

Shaman King Funbari Chronicle First Impressions: Super Stylish Shaman Showdown

I remember following some of Shaman King back in the day, and have always wanted to properly get into it. With the new 2021 anime, that’s yet another one on the never-ending backlog… whatever the case, Shaman King Funbari Chronicle is the mobile game that launched in Japan today, 9 December 2021. There’s no need to dally any more, let’s get into the impressions!

PRESENTATION
One of the earliest features known of the game is the “Mangatic Mode”, the advertised blend of animatics and manga panels to “fully immerse players into the story”. It really does look good, as conceptually simple as it is. The panels fade in and out as appropriate, with some animations to mimic motion, and actual anime cutscenes for some of the more dramatic action moments. Motion comics! The character specific “episodes” from their respective cards are done the same way.

“Mangatic Mode”.
The story is essentially fully voiced, with any random NPCs or super minor characters left silent. The game also features original characters who have their own names, personalities, and voices! “Koeru”, for example, cannot be renamed, and he’s your starting everyday guy wondering what mess he’s gotten into with the Shaman Fights. Godspeed, lad.
Besides character art, you can have their 3D model on the homescreen.
In combat sections, the 3D models look impressive with their own style, throwing out attacks either with some summon, or up close and personal. I feel that they’ve translated the manga style well into the game, so props where its due. Naturally, characters with “Overburst” will have their animated cut-ins to throw out their ultimate move.

GAMEPLAY

At its core, Funbari Chronicle is a turn-based battle game, where you fight against waves of enemies you need to clear within a turn limit. Skills have their respective costs, consuming the bar under said skills. The typical elemental weakness chart is likewise present. Auto battle and double-speed is available from the start. I couldn’t read to see if there was a way to turn off the Overburst animations.

Characters do not automatically level up after each battle, and their level is capped to your player level. Characters can be raised to 5-stars, while their parameters can be additionally enhanced with dupes up to 4 times. A character’s skill levels also have to be trained separately, for each, as far as I can tell. A skill’s level cap also increases with your account level. Besides those raw numbers, they can equip up to 2 Vision Cards, which can provide bonuses depending on who equips what. A low rarity card may work better than a high rarity one due to this.

Not all the “modes” have been implemented in the game just yet, besides being locked behind clearing certain story quests. Speaking of story quests, you can come across some that require you to field a specific character. Other than that, the functions are pretty easily understandable even if you don’t know the language. Clear up those missions, go go. You can skip quests, but you need skip tickets.

GACHA
Last but not least, the gacha. The highest base rarity is 3-stars, rates going at 2% for characters, and 4% for Vision Cards. Individual rates are absolutely abysmal.

For the interest of rerolling, there’s an in-build system for the first rigged roll to get you a 3-star character guaranteed. You can get multiple 3-stars, as in, I got one 3-star Vision Card and one 3-star character, but whether you can reroll multiple characters was not something I wanted to try my hand right now.

In the worst case scenario, there IS a “spark” system, at 250 draws. Interestingly, it appears to give a 3-star character selector ticket, rather than a selected pool, making for a much more flexible system.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
For style points alone, Funbari Chronicle is hands down one of the most gorgeous anime mobile game offerings. The art direction makes it feel like a proper labour of love, attached to a gacha game.
The actual gameplay being simple is hardly a bad point, but if you were hoping for something “more”, then that might not be as satisfying. Whatever the case, though, I think this is worth trying, for that wonderful nostalgia.

Doing so involves being the master of the Alice, and that will see you dressing them up in beautiful clothing. Hey, we didn’t say the plot made any sense.

Garena Free Fire banned in India alongside 53 other Chinese apps

Garena Free Fire, the most downloaded and highest-earning mobile battle royale game in India, has been banned throughout the country. The ban came as a shock for many Indians who suddenly discovered that the game could no longer be played or found in their local Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, or MeitY for short, banned a total of 54 China-linked mobile apps today. However, it’s worth noting that Free Fire is published by Garena, a Singaporean company, and not a Chinese one.

For a full list of all 54 banned applications in India, you may refer to this tweet from ET Now.
Regarding the ban, the Indian government said that it has the “power to issue directions for interception or monitoring or decryption of any information through any computer resource,” according to IndiaToday. The news site also revealed that despite not being included in the list, Free Fire Max, the enhanced version of Free Fire was also banned from the Apple App Store in India. Free Fire Max is still available for download on the Indian Google Play Store at the time of writing, however.

According to industry analyst Danial Ahmad, the ban is due to increased tensions between China and India. It’s possible that more beloved Chinese mobile games may be next.

What's interesting is that even with 5 batches of bans, primarily targeting Chinese apps, games such as Genshin Impact, Lords Mobile, Top War and others continue to operate without issue.
But perhaps they are next…
— Daniel Ahmad (@ZhugeEX) February 14, 2022

Free Fire‘s popularity in India skyrocketed after PUBG Mobile was banned in the country. It filled the void left behind in the country, with Garena going as far as featuring Indian celebrities as characters in the game.

Predator Helios 300 Special Edition Review – The white and gold design adds a touch of class

Those who have been following the news on gaming laptops should probably know, or at least heard about Predator Helios 300. The powerful gaming laptop is featuring a stylish black and red design, and Acer has actually launched a special edition that comes in classy white and gold design. Here is our review of the new Predator Helios 300 Special Edition!

Design
Predator Helios 300 Special Edition is definitely a head-turner especially for females. Comes in an aluminium body, the laptop looks elegant in its pure white theme with gold accents. The Predator logo is in gold as well, which it sits at the middle of the lid just like the normal Helios 300’s.

The standard Predator Helios 300 features a backlit keyboard with red LED lights and red colour highlights on the WASD keys. The Special Edition gets the same backlit keyboard, only that it lights up in white and the WASD keys are highlighted in gold.

Comparison between the normal version and Predator Helios 300 Special Edition
The Special Edition laptop also ships with a few matching accessories including earphones, mousepad and mouse. Our favourite among the accessories is the mouse that comes in gold on the upper part, and white colour on the bottom part. The mouse wheel and Predator logo light up in cool-looking red as well!

Predator Helios 300 Special Edition Specifications
Similar to Predator Helios 300, the Special Edition is featuring powerful specifications too. The model we get is powered by an i7-8750H processor, GeForce GTX 1060 graphics and 8GB DDR4 RAM. Along with 256GB PCle and 1TB HDD, you can expect it to store and run any AAA games at ease.
Its Full HD IPS display is 15.6-inch big with a refresh rate up to 144Hz. This eliminates the motion blur on display for a better gaming experience. On the cooling aspect, the Special Edition is having Acer’s exclusive all-metal AeroBlade 3D Fan. It is able to maintain a normal hardware temperature even after a few hours of non-stop gaming. Using the PredatorSense app, you can control, overclock and customize laptop settings such as hotkeys and fan speed.
The Verdict
Predator Helios 300 Special Edition‘s gaming performance doesn’t disappoint. Playing Overwatch and CS:GO on it feel seamless and lag-free thanks to its 144Hz display and great specs. Aside from the performance, its design that comes mainly in white gets dirty pretty easily, so you shall take extra care on it. Scratches show up very obviously as well.

The Special Edition is now available in Malaysia at an SRP of RM6,399. For more information about the product, you can visit the official website.
