Guardian Rank comes after beating the campaign. Just like the Borderlands 2 Badass Ranks, Guardian Ranks will give incremental stat improvements, with a twist. You can get powerful buffs in addition to the smaller ones! You level up Guardian Rank with experience, which is the bar above your regular XP bar. Each bar gives a Guardian Token, to then spend on stats across three distinct trees. A Guardian Token gets you an option out of a random 6 stats with 2 from each tree. They are the following:

Report: Capcom Opens Branch In Singapore [Update]

Capcom, publisher of popular titles such as Street Fighter, Monster Hunter and Resident Evil, has apparently opened a Singapore branch.

The information comes from the LinkedIn page of one Ikuo Hirano, listed as the Director for Capcom Singapore PTE LTD.

We’ve sent an email requesting verification from Capcom, and will update this article accordingly when they respond.
UPDATE, 27 MAY 2022, 10:25: We have since reached out to Capcom regarding the branch. They do not provide any comment, except to say that should there be any further official updates, they will share it as needed.
The Move To SEA

Capcom opening an office in Singapore isn’t entirely out of left field- Singapore seems to be the go-to spot for many game companies looking to set up shop in the SEA region.
One of the most high profile examples would be Ubisoft, who have their own game studio set up in the country as well as Hoyoverse, who publish titles like Genshin Impact outside of China.
Larian Studios and PlayStation also joined in the game development race, having both opened studios in Malaysia.
While not everyone has formally opened offices in the region, it definitely looks as though the SEA region is the next big region for games expansion- Nintendo has begun to open websites to buy merchandise directly from them, while Atlus had opened a SEA Facebook page to better connect with regional customers

Panzer League to blitz into smartphones in 2017

Panzer League takes two very popular themes and combines them into their own take on the MOBA genre. Instead of avatars consisting of heroic figures, you will instead control a wide variety of tanks in this game, 18 to be exact. The tanks are then divided into their own class, as you would expect from a game of this genre. Whether you choose to be the DPS, support or healer, the choice is yours, and there are several upgrade paths for each class.

To mix things up, you can alter those upgrades in between matches, which is interesting, since it means you will have to adapt to different opposing strategies on the fly. Mastering how each class works and knowing when to switch playstyles will be important if you choose to go online with or against your friends. If you just want to go solo, that option is there too. The game is currently available as a soft-launch in Southeast Asia.

New Inazuma Eleven Ares information available

New details for the much delayed Inazuma Eleven Ares have been revealed, with the game boasting a “scout” system which lets players assemble their team from the various schools including Raimon Junior High School and Teikoku Academy.

The game will also purportedly feature a command battle system with high psychological warfare and action while lets players have a feel of a real football game although no further information was disclosed. In any case, there will be a presentation event taking place on 26 August 2018 for the game, so we may be getting an actual release then.

To recap, the game is being developed in such a way where even people who do not normally play football games can jump right in without much hassle. The developer promises that the strategic characteristics of football will be retained, yet it will also be accessible enough for anyone to pick up. In addition, Level-5 stated that the visuals will improve from what is being shown so far, although at the moment they are polishing the controls, which makes or breaks games like these. The ultimate goal is to have all characters who appear in the game be the exact replication of their anime counterparts. Inazuma Eleven Ares will be released in Japan during Summer 2018.

CloverWorks is a well-regarded studio in the anime community. They were behind anime like Fate/Grand Order: Absolute Demonic Front Babylonia, as well as Darling in the Franxx.
To celebrate the announcement, Aniplex did put out a trailer, but it’s region locked. However, you can view it on the official Twitter, instead.

完全新作オリジナルTVアニメーション「ワンダーエッグ・プライオリティ」2021年1月日本テレビほかにて放送決定！本日ティザーPVを解禁いたしました。是非ご覧下さい！https://t.co/sMla0thBfn#ワンエグ pic.twitter.com/ra2Gxo4TNI
— TVアニメ「ワンダーエッグ・プライオリティ」公式 (@WEP_anime) October 8, 2020

From the poster, we can safely assume that the main character’s name is Ai. The teaser they put out shows no hints of the eponymous Wonder Egg, so its really anyone’s guess where the plot will go. That being said, we’ll definitely find out more closer to the anime’s premiere.
Shinji Nojima is working on the screenplay for the anime. Fans might know his work from live-action series Takane no Hana. This series marks Nojima’s anime debut.
Wonder Egg Priority will be directed by 22/7 Director Shin Wakabayashi. Saki Takahashi, animation producer of Her Blue Sky, is in charge of designing characters.
The trailer does give off some vaguely supernatural vibes, and Ai’s unique appearance definitely lends credence to this theory as well. We’ll just have to wait and see when then anime drops in January of next year.

Kalos Pokemon Come to Pokemon GO

It should be noted that the whole roster of Kalos is not yet implemented. Rather, this update only adds select Pokemon from Kalos into Pokemon Go.

In a blog post, Niantic also revealed that a “special” pokemon would be appearing in one-star raids. Although the 6th gen Pokemon’s flagship legendaries appear in the trailer, it’s unlikely to be them since legendaries are never one-star.
The Kalos Region is the setting for the 6th generation of Pokemon games, Pokemon X and Pokemon Y. The games first debuted on the Nintendo 3DS, and was the first major Pokemon title for the handheld.
The 6th generation also introduced Mega Evolution, a feature that has since made its way to Pokemon Go. Funnily enough, no Kalos Pokemon are actually capable of Mega Evolution, as the feature was more of a way to breathe new life into Pokemon from previous generations.

It’s not just about Brigitte, it’s the message of the character and the drama has been decided for a long time”, he says. “Nowadays, transgender people are much more widely recognised, and it’s as if the times have caught up with the story of Bridget, which we had been thinking about for a long time”.
“Every character was conceived by Ishiwatari in advance”, he continues. “Ishiwatari had already decided on the settings and dramas for each character, but there were many that we hadn’t yet revealed. This time, we brought out Bridget, and I think that’s really all there is to it”.

Bridget’s gender had been the source of some controversy in the Guilty Gear community- the character’s initial appearance saw her as a boy-made-to-dress-like-a-girl whose arc was about proving that she was indeed a boy by being the best bounty hunter.
Her Strive appearance deals with the follow-up to that: After being the best bounty hunter, she decides that she actually quite liked being a girl, and it doesn’t take away from any of her other traits.
As seems to always be the case when transgender characters are involved, this drew a lot of controversy with transphobic players and social media users lashing out.
“To put it bluntly, I thought it would be a topic that would naturally have pros and cons, as expected”, Akira says. “Although it’s a short story, I tried to depict how the character lived, what he worried about and what he thought about in the game’s story”.
“However, only the pinpointed topics were discussed first, and people who hadn’t bought the game and hadn’t played it got excited in the discussion, and more and more people took it in a different direction from the message we were giving, and to top it all off, there were even spoofers”, he continues.
“Originally, we wanted to say, “Play the game and take in the story, and while everyone may have their own interpretation, please take in our message”, but official impersonators started showing up, so we had to make a proper announcement on our side”, he adds.
Ultimately, Daisuke and the team issued official statements on Bridget being trans, as part of the Developers Backyard discussions of the game.

Fatal Frame Pachinko Announced

Japanese horror game Fatal Frame is coming back as a Pachinko machine, marking the first new title for the series since 2014.

The Fatal Frame Pachinko has a new trailer up, showcasing the setup for the game, full of typical Fatal Frame flair.

The original Fatal Frame series had a very traditional Japanese aesthetic, and featured you using the Camera Obscura, a camera that could defeat spirits by taking photos of them. The photography element that makes up the series name didn’t appear to be in the trailer, although instead it looks like the game will be focusing on some sort of spooky slot machine.
Games As Pachinko
Konami bringing back all of their beloved franchises as Pachinko machines has been a meme in the community, especially after another series long overdue for a new entry, Silent Hill, got its own Pachinko machine.

Still, fans who think Pachinko-fying their biggest IPs is entirely unique to Konami would be wrong, as many other companies have done that as well. Guilty Gear has an important chunk of its lore locked away behind a Pachinko game, while Devil May Cry 5’s big twist was also actually first referenced in the Pachinko game based off of Devil May Cry 4 released years prior.

Malaysian Steam Price Increase Set To Bump Up Game Prices By 20-40%

Steam has recommended new price values for games on the platform in different currencies, with Malaysian gamers set to see between 20-40% increase in different game prices.

A sample of the 60USD pricetag
The recommendations affect various price points, all based around their USD counterparts and can be viewed in their entirety on SteamDB.

Malaysian Steam users can expect to see around 20-40% increase at the various price points- with the 15 USD price point moving 20% to RM38.50, up from RM32.
Unfortunately, the 60USD price point, the most popular for standard triple-A releases, is also one of the worst hit: Malaysian users will see a 40% increase, up to RM133 up from RM95.

According to SteamDB, Valve will not be enforcing these price changes- though the new recommended price points come from their own market research on things like purchasing power per region.
“Rather than just pegging prices to foreign exchange rates, our process for price suggestions goes deeper into the nuts and bolts of what players pay for the goods and services in their lives”, the statement reads. “This includes metrics like purchasing-power parity and consumer price indexes, which help compare prices and costs more broadly across a bunch of different economic sectors. But in the case of games on Steam, we also drill down more specifically to entertainment purchasing to better inform those decisions”.
This follows an upwards trend for pricing in the games industry- the mobile games market has also seen prices increase, following announcements from Apple.
Considering the state of the economy, it’s understandable that these prices would go up- though it will naturally have its consequences when it comes to who can play these games.

Doraemon Story of Seasons: Friends of The Great Kingdom Interview with Koji Nakajima – Creating Memories with Your Friends

Doraemon Stoy of Seasons: Friends of The Great Kingdom will be the latest title of the Doraemon Story of Seasons franchise, and we got the opportunity to talk with Producer Koji Nakajima in an interview.

Note: This interview is edited for clarity
A Place That Feels Like Home
The original Doraemon Story of Seasons has a really nice laid-back feel. So how are you improving it in Friends of the Great Kingdom to kind of enhance the calmness and the casual feeling to it?
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

So this part about how we should improve the game is by trying to put more effort into the graphics wise. The past title is more of a storybook artwork. But for this new title, we are trying to implement a more realistic feeling like sunlight reflection on the water, and the wind sound, so with this kind of graphics we let the users experience more of this heartwarming kind of feeling.
Another aspect would be the additional perspective point which allows users to be able to see the entire background to experience the atmosphere even more. One of the main points of this title would be trying to expand and adventuring the fun of the Doraemon IP, one of them would be going on an adventure, harvesting plants, and how now you can now explore underwater, so you can now relive those dreams from this series.

What are the main differences between Friends of the Great Kingdom and the first Doraemon Story of Seasons in terms gameplay?
Most of the crops and items that we already have will also be implemented in this game as well, and of course, we will have additional crops and items to enhance the experience along with hidden or specialized items. As for the gameplay we have offline 2P mode, so we can have a local multiplayer session with friends or families to tend your farmhouse and harvest together.
Another feature that is also our main focus would be a more friendly game balance for players to have more enjoyment, this is especially for the UI since there’s feedback on how the UI from the previous title is a bit tough to navigate, so we take reference from another Story of Seasons title to implement a much better UI.

Farming simulation games tend to be popular among casual gamers. Is this one of the main reasons why the game is launching on Nintendo Switch?
Of course, that is one of the reasons but the main point of this genre is trying to appeal to everyone, not just casual gamers but also other audiences to easily enjoy a Doraemon IP. Of course, this is also not just for Switch, because we also plan to bring it to more platforms and how you also mentioned that the game is getting support for Thai and Bahasa Indonesia languages.

Is there any part of the farming simulation genre you felt particularly enhanced by this Doraemon Story of Seasons?
Since this is part of Doraemon the main attraction would be hidden items since Doraemon would often bring out unique items from his pocket to make the farming activity more convenient and enhance the overall gameplay as well. So we’re really trying to push this experience as a Doraemon game.

Was there anything from the previous title that you couldn’t implement in the final version but you manage in the Friends of the Great Kingdom?
One of the two main points would be the offline 2P mode and the online implementation since the previous title was very one-player focused. So for this title, we want to make sure that you and your friends and family can enjoy this game together. While playing this game everyone can actually form a strong relationship, so this is one of the main focus that we want to push.

Would there be any iconic relationships system in this Story of Seasons?
One of the main points from the previous title was controlling Nobita and how it’s a very solo-like experience, but for this title, we have a buddy system and this is one of the biggest changes.
Since all the main characters will be living together in a farmhouse obviously this kind of relationship event will be happening as well. For example, there may be a birthday or something. So for this title, we really focused on the bond of friends like how title is always associated.

Would there be any fast travel feature like the “Go Anywhere Door” in this game?
Yes, the Go Anywhere Door will be implemented in this game. We try to reduce the stress when navigating the world with this feature and there’s also a specific hidden item that could increase the movement speed as well.

Is this game accessible to players who haven’t played the first Doraemon Story of Seasons?
The previous title had some issues, especially with the UI and game balance, so for this title, we try to fix that and make the game to be more enjoyable. For this genre everyone can easily access this kind of game, so we also try to put more effort into the main scenario so players who don’t know about Doraemon can come in and have a great time with this game, with the hope that they can enjoy Doraemon IP and try to watch the anime, movie, or the manga as well.

How vast the game would be in terms of map size compared to the previous title?
Of course, we also expanded the map even more, but rather than just make it bigger, we put more focus on the point of interest. Since the size would affect players’ enjoyment as well, we try to improve the enjoyment when exploring the map for example the underground cave and how you can feel the atmosphere even more, and how exploring underwater also can give off a totally different vibe.
But not only do we have a bigger map, but this is also a completely different setting compared to the first game so players could enjoy a much different and fresh experience when exploring the world.

A Story To Be Told
What feature of the game that Nakajima-san is especially excited for players to try out?
Mainly I want players to enjoy the entirety of the game, but there are two things that stand out more. It’s how we collaborate to get the Doraemon license, so then we can create a heartwarming story and an experience that feels like a proper adaptation to Doraemon. The 2P mode is also something that we want to highlight for this title since it can enhance the experience a lot more since now you can actually play together with friends and families while also creating a stronger bond with them.

What part of the game that Nakajima-san is most proud of?
We put a lot of effort into the scenario, so this is something that I as a producer am especially proud of even in the sub-scenario as well with other side characters that you can interact with. We hope our approach to the story could give a more heartwarming experience for players. This is going to feel like a classic Doraemon story where the beginning part is a lot more laid back before Nobita needs to unite with Doraemon and his friends to overcome any hurdle together.

What are things that it’s better for players to do with a friend or family in 2P mode?
We didn’t want to force this feature to be something that is a must since we want players to experience the game at their own pace. But for 2P mode, the difference would be faster harvesting time and how you can yield more crops as well.

Besides the local 2P mode, is there any plan to add an online multiplayer mode in the future?
As of now we have no plans for it since our main focus is to deliver the most optimal experience based on what we already worked on for this title.

Are there any characters in the game that is based on people that the development team knows in real life?
There aren’t any side characters that are based on people that we know, because we trying to create something that is more focused on the perspective of the Doraemon world itself. This is something that also applied to the original characters as well.

How does working from home affects the team’s ability to separate their personal and work life?
As a producer, it’s very hard to see whether the demand of the market is high or not, but overall we trying to push this game to reach out to more people to help with their mental state and be more relaxed in these trying times. We hope that players will be happy and enjoy this game that comes with improved graphics, a heartwarming scenario, and a deeper relationship system.

Are Friends of the Great Kingdom officially supported in Thai?
Bandai rep: I can go ahead and say that yes the game will support in Thai and Bahasa Indonesia.

What is the motivation behind adding the Indonesian language to this game?
Bandai rep: Bandai Namco has always been looking to cater to more gamers and expanding our fanbase. We definitely want to localise more titles to help more gamers play their games better and have a more seamless experience with their first language. Just to note that this is the first title that would be localized in Bahasa Indonesia.

We’d like to thank Koji Nakajima for answering our questions related to Doraemon Story of Seasons: Friend of the Great Kingdom. The game will release sometime this year for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.

Death Stranding review – Following the dangling cord

There’s been much ado about Death Stranding. You’ve seen all the trailers, the bits of information about the gameplay, the star-studded cast. There’s even that World Strand Tour going on, not forgetting the PC release. For most of you, the game is just another week off, before your tantalizing dip into this world crafted by Hideo Kojima. What awaits you in this BT-filled world, as you step into the shoes of Sam Porter Bridges? Read on for our Death Stranding review.

The Timefall is coming
Sam is a Repatriate. It means he is able to return to life. However, if he gets overwhelmed by BTs, his return causes a Voidout: a giant explosion which essentially erases a city, leaving only a crater in its wake. One wonders how much of this is caused by DOOMs, something mysterious that Sam possesses. Fragile, a woman running her own delivery company in Fragile Express, also has DOOMs. What exactly it is, you’ll have to find out yourself.

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

In the future, mysterious explosions have rocked the planet, which Sam likens to the Big Bang. Funny, when he himself too is capable of causing such explosions. Supernatural monsters have cropped up – the BTs – and humanity is facing extinction from them. In the United Cities of America, Sam’s work sounds easy enough. He’s already known as a legendary porter at the start of the game, in charge of delivering cargo from place to place. Why not United States of America? Well, the explosions have torn apart the country, and everyone’s pretty much scattered, hence the job.
For someone called a legendary porter, the player still has to level up by making deliveries
The prologue does a good job of setting the stage of Death Stranding. You learn a little bit more about Sam’s job, the land he will have to travel, the cargo he has to manage, the people he’ll meet. Then there’s the world that’s turned harsh on humanity: Timefall with its tell-tale upside-down rainbow, and of course, the “BTs”, or Beached Things. After knowing what they can do, seeing their prints emerge is enough to make you hold your breath.
Follow us on Twitter

Tweet to @GamerBraves

In some ways, Death Stranding is akin to a management simulator. Here’s a small sample of things you need to keep track of:

Sam’s stamina
Cargo weight
Balance
Tools you’ll need to cross terrain

Oh yeah.
Resting is absolutely key if you’re going to travel the land without a vehicle. Chugging down MONSTER ENERGY isn’t going to keep you going for that long, as your maximum stamina steadily goes down when you don’t stop. From the prologue, Timefall ages your body at best, and in the case of cargo, their durability will go down. Preferably you’d want to stay out of the rain, but more often than not, you’ll have to tough it out and be more careful.
Look at how gorgeous this game is. The blue bar is the stamina meter, and the faint dashed lines are a route marker.
Cargo that you drop will be marked lost if you stray from them too far. Use your scanner to find them. Otherwise, they’ll be appearing in another player’s instance. Structures you build can appear for other players too, and vice versa. Give them a “Like” if you’ve found them useful, as a token of appreciation. You can also entrust cargo for others to take, should you not make the journey. Even if you won’t be seeing other porters, you can believe in others to finish the job. Chances are, you might find lost cargo near the recipient. There will be plenty of back-tracking to and fro as you receive orders, find cargo, and follow along the storyline.
It’s nice to be appreciated.
Regular BT encounters would need you to sneak past them, or struggle out when you’re caught. They’re like quicksand, covering an area with black goo, as unholy human figures reach out and claw at you, trying to drag you in. If they’re hanging around – quite literally; with the Bridge Baby’s help, there seems to be faint figures suspended in the air – you can move slowly past. Sam needs to hold his breath if they’re close, and he won’t be able to keep it in for that long.
Don’t get caught. Enemy encounters can give you a short burst of stamina that will quickly go away, not very useful here.
You can get into more combat-intensive BT encounters too. Remember the fluids collected from Sam in his private room? Yeah, those can get turned into grenades to defeat bigger BTs. Taking time-outs from deliveries is really important! The Bridge Baby, or BB, will get stressed out too, and you’ll have to be the one to rock it back to calm with your Dualshock. With how important BB is to “see” BTs, you won’t want it to go dark on you, do you?
BTs aren’t the only thing that would be able to harm you. Of course, you too can fall off too great a height. Thanks to Sam’s repatriate abilities, he can come back, after a brief swim in some “other” place, and you follow the Strand back to life. That’s followed by the baby in your throat, which should clearly be symbolism. You can encounter MULEs who will seek to run with your cargo.
On lower difficulties, the MULEs seem to mostly circle around you and you can easily punch them down to get your stuff back. On higher difficulties, you can probably expect them to run off to their nearest base to deposit the goods and serve to waste your time. Alternatively, they can also kill you, and you’d “repatriate” at your last checkpoint at the condition you last saved at. Incidentally, resting is how you save in this game – besides auto-saving – so if you’ve been diligent, you’d be in a good condition to either avoid or fight back the MULEs.
The action can and does ramp up later in the game, but you’d just as likely be spending far more time shuttling items to and fro drop points, juggling how best to carry your tools and the cargo.
MULE Alert!
With how story-rich Death Stranding is, it’s hard to explain certain things. As assured repeatedly by trailers and such, “connections” are a central theme to the game. Sam is on a quest to “connect” the disparate cities of America, and bring them into the fold via the Chiral network. Delivering the goods that people need is the way to do it, as their appreciation means it’s more likely they will join and connect with you, with Bridges. A better “connection” with recipients allows more material storage and use, possible gifts and additional Bridges facilities. Since the game isn’t quite out yet, this review can’t delve too deep into the “multiplayer”. You do get encouraged to have “Bridge Links” with fellow porters you interact with often, so try it out!
A job well done!
Death Stranding is separated into “Episodes”. Consider them actual TV episodes, each part providing another piece of the whole puzzle as crafted by Hideo Kojima. Follow the Strand of the plot, and start building the map in your head akin to the Chiral Network. Much of the old world is lost, and connecting is one way to get it back, don’t you think?
I get that sense of connection when I manage to deliver the cargo to its recipient, especially so if I made it through BT encounters. There’s the sense of tension sneaking past a BT, that rising panic if I get caught, possibly losing my precious cargo along the way. Getting that relief and appreciation on a successful delivery is truly something. If for some reason or another that the recipient doesn’t want to join the network, I get a profound sense of loss, whether or not their reasons are justified.
It really is not an exaggeration to say Death Stranding is “an experience”. While this review can provide some building blocks and tell you what to expect from a mechanics standpoint, the world has to be felt to truly understand the extent of emptiness in such a broken up world. We’ll just have to follow Sam along the cord now, won’t we?

One thing’s for sure, you’d either be completely absorbed in the story, or you lose interest in the threads as you trek through the vast emptiness. Whatever it is, we’ll see you at the Beach.

A haunting - quite literally - journey to strive to connect people.

PROS
 Incredibly realized and gorgeous set pieces and environment The story provides much philosophical discussion fodder

CONS
 A lot of back-tracking involved in missions Definitely more on the cinematic experience than strict gameplay

A thought-provoking work that leans more to movie than game

SAO: Variant Showdown recruiting closed beta testers

Sword Art Online: Variant Showdown will be conducting a closed beta test, with fans able to apply to participate. Applications will be accepted until 16 May 2022, 09:00 UTC though this appears subject to change. The test will be available for both iOS and Android devices, but if your primary device is a tablet, you will unfortunately not be able to play on that.

10,000 players will be accepted into the Variant Showdown closed beta. The test itself is scheduled for 10 June 2022, 04:00 UTC to 14 June 2022, 03:59 UTC, quite a short window at that. However, it’s interesting to note that load testing will begin once the closed beta ends. You won’t be able to keep any data from the closed beta, and you’re recommended to uninstall the client prior to getting the launch version.

Take up the mantle, you’re an Avenger now. Marvel’s Avengers Beta Impressions

Marvel’s Avengers is probably quite highly anticipated by many a Marvel fan to say the least. The game is co-developed by Crystal Dynamics and Eidos-Montréal, with Bandai Namco Entertainment publishing it for the Southeast Asia region. Despite how it may look, the game is a narrative driven experience, and not following in the open world footsteps of many games out there.

OVERVIEW
You’ll spend a lot of time at the war table to make your next move, at least in the beta, alongside various characters from the Marvel universe:

Steve Rogers / Captain America
Tony Stark / Iron Man
Bruce Banner / Hulk
Thor (Odinson)
Natasha Romanova / Black Widow
Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel
Clint Barton / Hawkeye
Spider-Man exclusively for PS4
3 more unknown characters at launch (not revealed yet)

Our early access into the beta revealed at least five regions, presumably more to come as the story expands. These future content and DLC will all be free too, so players can be assured they won’t be locked out of the developing story. The beta period will be reopening for those who pre-ordered the game on 7 August, so fans can count down the hours till they can experience this new Marvel universe for themselves.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

The world is populated by some of the most recognizable names in the business – both for the Marvel characters themselves and the people who voice them – with Troy Baker as Bruce Banner, Travis Willingham as Thor, and Laura Bailey as Black Widow. Many of them reprise their roles from other animated works or games of the Marvel franchise, and it’s good to see them back.

The story is an original one, but does take a few key elements from the overall Marvel universe, one of them being the Terrigen Mist and the Inhumans (Ms Marvel being one of them). The public lose faith in the Avengers in the aftermath of the A-Day Incident, but our story only really begins five years after. In these five years, S.H.I.E.L.D. has also disbanded, and it falls to us to re-establish the Avengers, starting with finding its members while uncovering the incident behind A-Day and the release of Terrigen Mist on that fateful day.
Most of the story campaign was not available to play during the beta, so we’ll have to judge that when the game actually launches.
BUILDING BACK UP, BRICK BY BRICK
If you’ve seen our coverage on the War Table, you’d be aware that characters have levels. Each character will have their individual level, and only one character at a time. Level ups will grant skill points, and do not affect power levels. Power levels indicate the difficulty of missions. There will be varying challenge stages. In this case, there are four of them, namely:

Challenge Level 1 (Easy) (Enemies – 5 power)
Challenge Level 2 (Normal)
Challenge Level 3 (Hard) (Enemies + 5 power)
Challenge Level 4 (Very Hard) (Enemies + 10 power)

The skill points are pretty straightforward: allocate them as you wish in your character’s skill tree, which would typically unlock anything from new combos, enhance skill damage or effects and the like. Going by the beta, there will be four skill trees for everyone. Curiously, the open beta categorizes them as “Primary Skills”, hinting at presumably “secondary” or “tertiary” skills. The beta did not offer any indication about other skill categories, and since it’s the beta, we can probably assume they will be subject to changes. The skill descriptions are quite detailed, as attacks within combo chains tell you the amount of damage it does, its impact, stun chance and how enemies react when you hit them with it!
We also got the chance to have a proper look at the beta’s iteration of the Marketplace. There’s plenty of variety of goods to purchase according to rarity: Uncommon, Rare, Epic and Legendary, The shiny things in here are simply cosmetic, but considering the inclusion of photo mode within the game, it’s a good place to find the latest piece of bling to show off to others. With costumes, emotes and nameplates to start, this is your start to making your hero your own. We’d be looking forward to see what the most garish and clowny setup can be to strike fear into M.O.D.O.K. Maybe we can kill him with laughter, who knows?

Missions are technically dungeons, since they’re all instanced. You’ll find what missions you can do via the War Table in your helicarrier. Defeat conditions aren’t very complicated to begin with; solo play asks you not to die more than once. If you didn’t bring a companion, then your HP – called Willpower – depleting could see you restart the mission. There might be a limit to how many times you can go down in multiplayer, but we didn’t go out of our way to try that.
You can check missions before you hop in, primarily to see what drops you can get from it. Some of them can also have modifiers attached to make it a little harder, like spawning enemies with cyro attacks. Like it or not, there will be soft gates like these, asking you to farm up the appropriate gear providing resistance to make your life easier.
As you explore, there will be optional points of interest that will have loot chests, or have locked rooms. For the latter, there’ll be some puzzling to do, like finding and activating switches to open sesame. Other times, you might encounter stronger enemies that will drop better loot. The objectives will vary accordingly to give it that bit of variety, anything from securing an area to destroying a certain number of objects. It’s a little disconcerting that there is no minimap, which seems odd.
IT’S MIGHTY SMASHING TIME
Takedowns are some of the flashiest things you can execute in the game. It makes you invulnerable as you unleash the beat down, which you can take advantage of to avoid taking damage while dishing out a lot of your own onto the enemy. With a teammate, you even have combo takedowns which give off that “high-five good job team” superhero vibe. Turn those grunts or elites to a fine ground paste in style, though it will be harder if you happen to be undergeared. In that case, look out for environmental items that drop consumables to restore your Willpower, among other things, and get back into the fight.

Besides your skill tree, there are Heroics. You would have seen this in the War Table presentation as Thor calling upon the Bifrost. The beta doesn’t allow you to swap, or learn new ones, with everyone having one Heroic each. Whether or not there’ll be more Heroic types or skills, we’ll have to find out when the game launches. Heroics come with their own flavours as well:

Ultimate (L1 + R1): These are typically damaging Heroics, but some can change a hero’s playstyle entirely like how Iron Man utilizes the Hulkbuster instead of his usual suit, in turn changing his combo chain
Assault (R1): Damage
Support (L1): Also deals damage, while either buffing yourself/your team, or landing debuffs on enemies

These Heroics are cooldown based, so it’s pretty much ultimate skills in your good ol’ MOBAs. In the chaos of fights, it can be hard to tell if takedowns reduce cooldowns of skills – if not necessarily Heroics – but there will be enemies that disable your skills.
For especially mobile characters, the motions are really fluid, as you seamlessly move from platform to platform – like with using Black Widow’s grappling hook – and land satisfying kicks into the enemy’s face. If you liked Batman: Arkham Knight’s combo fights, you’ll like it here too. In the case of Iron Man who can fly around freely, you’ll need some practice for aerial combat, but the transition from ground to air is not clunky at all if you do prefer to fisticuff on land.
NUMBERS, NUMBERS
There’s plenty of things to keep track of in this game. There are four different Ratings in Marvel’s Avengers, that are further broken down as follows:

Rating
Statistics

Melee
The amount of base damage dealt, based on gear, passive skills, and associated stats.
Might
– Ranged damage
– Assault Heroic charge rateValor
– Heroic effectiveness
– Critical damageProficiency
– Critical chance
– Perk chance

Defense
The amount of damage a hero can take based on gear, passive skills, and stats.
Resilience
– Armor
– Support Heroic charge rateResolve
– Max Willpower (health)
– Willpower recovery effectiveness

Ranged
The amount of base damage dealt, based on gear, passive skills, and associated stats.
Precision
– Ranged damage
– Assault Heroic charge rateValor
– Heroic effectiveness
– Critical damageProficiency
– Critical chance
– Perk chance

Heroic
The amount of damage a hero’s heroic abilities determined by gear, passive skills, and stats.

Resilience
– Armor
– Support Heroic charge rateValor
– Heroic effectiveness
– Critical damageIntensity
– Stun/status meter damage
– Status resistance

In turn, there are also many variations of elemental damage, an incomplete list of which includes the following:

Gamma
Cosmic
Particle (shrinks enemies)
Shock
Cryo (freezes enemies)
Graviton

Gear grinding will be where you’d be spending a lot – and we mean, a lot – of time. The beta has 6 types of gear:

Melee
Ranged
Defense
Heroic
Major artifacts
Minor artifacts

The gear rarities were briefly mentioned in regards to the Marketplace, which are ranked from highest to lowest:

Common
Uncommon
Rare
Epic
Legendary

Uncommon provides one gear perk, Rare two, Epic three, and without getting our own Legendary we can’t be sure, but we can reasonably assume it will give at least four gear perks. Commons do not have any. The rarities besides Common can be further upgraded with resources to unlock more gear perks, and are also limited according to their rarity. Uncommons can be boosted 3 times, Rares up to 5, and Epics at 10, with Legendary appropriately having more than Epic. Gear perks will be unlocked with the upgrades unless there aren’t any more perks to unlock. In the beta, the only way to increase your power level is to replace your gear as you go along.

The perks can range from anything to increasing your willpower (HP) for certain situations to adding elemental damage, or be combo-related, so you’d be changing up how you play your character depending on what perks you’ve stacked up. Pile on those light combo finishers and you’d focus on light combos, or pack on stun% perks to be the ultimate crowd control. If you’re not interested in a specific gear’s perks, you will be able to dismantle them to obtain resources, and accordingly, the dismantled gear will not be recoverable.
To encourage you to try out other characters, each of them will have daily and weekly quests. These quests will provide challenge points on completion, which will then result in obtaining emotes, skins, and nameplates depending on the hero challenge card. Additional resources are also obtainable this way. A Hero Challenge Card works similarly to a Battle Pass system in progression, if you want to know a closest comparison.
For the completionist, besides raising all your heroes, there are various in-game items you can find and pick up, namely:

Comics

These provide tiny buffs, like 0.5% critical chance. Seems like learning more about yourself in universe is a good thing!

Intelligence

Expository collectibles providing backstory for the game, with full voice work

Codex

Enemy intel, obtainable after defeating enemies

TIME OUT AT THE HELICARRIER
Only four characters were available during the beta, namely, Iron Man, Black Widow, The Hulk, and Miss Marvel. They offer different playstyles as you might imagine, which we’ll describe in brief:

Hero
Playstyle

The Hulk

Signature smashes with Heroics and Skills relying on brute strength
Can grab enemies and smash them much like how he did to Loki in the movies
Thunderclap, his Ultimate Heroic, deals massive damage and sends enemies flying
Activating Rage increases attack damage
Beta Hulk is sluggish and comparatively immobile to his peers, making it hard for him to move around the map

Iron Man
Multiple ranged weapons: beams, lasers, rockets
Ranged weapons will eat a lot of energy bar if you spam them
Execute light attacks to regenerate energy
Highly mobile due to ability to fly and hover
His Ultimate Heroic, Hulkbuster, will change his moveset

Black Widow

Highly mobile, being able to close distances with her grappling hook
Offers quite a few ranged attacks, and does not run out of bullets
Her Ultimate Heroic, Power Surge, will increase her Shock damage, varies up her movesets more and enhances her melee range

Ms Marvel
Stretches her arms and execute a long range punch, a la ONE PIECE’s Luffy
Majority of her melee attacks can cover both a wide range and many enemies at once
Embiggen, her Ultimate Heroic, lets her grow bigger and unleash giant attacks

It’s especially fun when you can combo Heroics with your friends or others in multiplayer, asking that bit more coordination from everyone else to chain devastating attacks or buffing each other. Should you go down, your teammates, human or AI, will be able to get you back up. Since you can play with AI partners, you can play the game solo if you wish. They won’t be able to level up or obtain gear, but they’ll make your life that little bit easier. It’s probably more handy for players unused to playing these action games.

The developers have mentioned the presence of set gears, but they were not available in the beta that mostly only gives a taste of the early game. The set gears are geared – haha – towards end game content. We can at least see that characters will be unlocked as you progress through the story, so story progression isn’t just for any exclusive cosmetics. Considering the pride they’re taking in their story, this design philosophy is pretty expected.
The game isn’t the most hardcore title out there, but it’s not a walk in the park either. There’s plenty of other systems that exist in the game, like parrying, with appropriate equipment perks that reward you for your precision. Enemies can guard against your attacks, so you’ll have to break that with Heavy attacks or vault behind them to disable them. Even with your AI companions making things easier, but you still need to watch out, as you’re limited in how many times you can be revived.
From what we have so far, it’s a really fun game, with aspects for the truly hardcore who want to min max their stats. As the updates and DLC rolls in, we could have something really big on our hands. Look forward to it!

More than 100 smartphones games were shut down in Japan during the first four months of 2017

Japan-based otaku culture publication Otapol did a report on recent games which have terminated their services, and the findings were a rather big surprise. Between the start of 2017 and mid-April 2017, there have been well over 100 smartphone games that have announced the end of their services.

Here is a small glimpse at the list of games as compiled by Hachima:

According to Otapol, for many of the games which failed, they abide by advertising trends using keywords such as “luxurious voice actors,” “simple touch,” “full-blown,” and “dramatic.” While there were some games which have lasted as long as seven years, many lasted for about six months at most.
Of course, this by no means that the smartphone game industry is in decline. Rather, with so many of them being launched, only the best of the best will survive.

Trinity Seven updates its character lineup

Currently still in development, the Trinity Seven mobile and browser game has had its character list updated by its developer Silicon Studio.

The line-up includes, obviously, the hero Arata and the seven girls – Lilith, Arin, Levi, Mira, Akio, Yui, and Lieselotte. Hijiri and Sherlock will be playing central roles here as well. Little else is revealed from the update, and the game is still scheduled for a 2018 launch.

So a little background that needs to be taken out of the way. Trinity Seven is originally a Monthly Dragon Age’s manga written by Saitou Kenji which was first published in January 2011, and is still ongoing. The story follows a certain Kasuga Arata, a 17-year-old teenager living with his cousin Kasuga Hijiri.
A series of events lead to Hijiri disappearing. As Arata searches for her, he encounters the Trinity Seven, a group seven female mages who help him on his mission. Among other things. Be sure to drop by the official site for more details.

Next Call of Duty is Treyarch’s Black Ops 5

Originally a joint-development by Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software, next year’s Call of Duty (COD) title is now a Treyarch-led project expected to be Black Ops 5.

According to Kotaku, this is a recent change. Sledgehammer and Raven will now be supporting Treyarch’s next project. However, the two studios prior efforts will not be wasted. The development work already put in will become the single-player story mode for Black Ops 5, which takes place during the Cold War.

Kotaku editor Jason Schreier also claims that sources within Activision attribute this change to tension between Sledgehammer and Raven. This tension is said to be caused by frequent disagreements over the game’s development between the two development teams.
We have not received any official news on this, nor has there been any comments from Activision about this, so take all of this with a grain of salt. If you’re interested, the full Kotaku report is here.
