Alchemy Stars closed beta underway with English text

The previously announced Alchemy Stars closed beta is now underway, and from the splash screen image shared on Reddit, it seems that the game is actually available in English, or at least has an English language option! While there has been no direct announcement regarding a simultaneous global release, the fact that Alchemy Stars is running a limited closed beta in English is already highly unusual for a presumably Japan only release game.

This testing phase will last one week, so we should be seeing more gameplay coming out from at least Japanese sites. On the English-speaking side, commenters have pointed out it appears to work similarly to another game known as Pocoron Dungeon, where your selected character moves along coloured tiles and deals damage and combos according to the distance travelled.
You can watch the initial closed beta announcement trailer below:

The testing phase’s recommended specifications were given as follows:

iOS: Version 9.0 and above, iPhone 6S and newer
Android: Version 4.1 and above, no RAM specified

Pending any changes, this shouldn’t be too different from the full release. Now we’ll just have to wait and see if the Summer 2021 launch will actually be for worldwide. Feel free to peruse the Japanese official Twitter for now.

Features that gamers need to know before purchasing a smartphone

For hardcore mobile gamers like us, of course we will want to own a powerful gaming phone that will satisfy all of our gaming needs. There are many smartphones available in the market now that promises all kind of features, but do you know which of them are the most important for gamers? Read on below if you want to know the answers!

CPU
Mobile games these days are on another level so it is extremely recommended that you get a phone with decent CPU specs. A decent CPU allows you to multitask at ease, as well as enjoy mobile gaming without any lagging or delay. The latest Kirin 980 Octa-core processor is arguably one of the best and fastest mobile phone processors out there at present, if not the best.

GPU
To get an awesome gaming experience, we also need a good GPU to back up the CPU. The new GPU Turbo 2.0 not only optimises your smartphone for a faster and more stable gaming experience, but it also reduces the delay time of touch response. One of the latest smartphone with GPU Turbo 2.0 is HUAWEI Mate 20 X. We actually tried playing games like PUBG Mobile with the highest graphics settings possible on it and the result is very impressive.

Cooling system
Most phones overheat when we, you know, engage ourselves in a 3-hour long PUBG Mobile session with our friends. And this is why a good cooling system is important. We don’t want to hold an overheated phone in our hands right? Fortunately, we have HUAWEI SuperCool Technology now, which is the world’s first liquid multi-dimensional cooling system with Vapour Chamber (VC) and Graphene Film used in smartphones. No more annoying heating while gaming and not to mention that it also preserves the lifespan of the processor!

Battery life
When you are looking for a good gaming phone, one of the most important requirements would be the battery. Anyone would agree that bringing a power bank along is kind of annoying. Smartphones like HUAWEI Mate 20 X has a 5000mAh battery capacity that can last up to a day with just regular usage. It even has a high-performance mode that can last up to an impressive 23 hours! Based on our experience, the battery still remained at a healthy level at around 40% even after 4 hours of intensive gaming.

PC Mode
Gaming on the bigger screen undoubtedly gets more immersive as you can get a wider view of the game. This can be achieved easily because nowadays smartphones like HUAWEI Mate 20 X comes with a PC Mode. Connect it to a monitor via HDMI port or the wireless projection feature and then you are good to go.

Betop G1 Game Controller
Lastly, we can have a game controller to enhance our gaming experience. The Betop G1 Game Controller is a useful one that is applicable on multiple games including PUBG Mobile and King of Glory. Specially designed for HUAWEI Mate 20 X, it is one-sided (your right remains on touch) with 400mAh power and uses the new Bluetooth 5 chip.

So these are the features that gamers need to know before purchasing a smartphone. We do know a smartphone that impressively fits in all these criteria – the HUAWEI Mate 20 X. If you know more info on this powerful gaming phone, just head straight to the official HUAWEI website or Facebook page. It comes at a price of RM2,899, along with a free M-Pen and flip cover. Happy gaming!

[ Arknights ] A simple guide to Contingency Contract

At this time of writing, the first Contingency Contract event is at last heading to Arknights global servers in just over a few days. Most older players are likely to be eyeing this event with equal parts anticipation and dread, as this is where your tactical skills truly get tested.

THE EVENT

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

There’ll be daily maps and daily missions, as well as event missions. The “Fixed Site” map will be where people will seek to challenge as high a Contingency level as possible, also referred to as Risks within the fandom. Risk 18 will provide the maximum rewards for the Fixed map, while you can settle with Risk 8 for the daily rotation maps to get rewards faster. Risk 4 is also passable for daily rotation. Under-prepared players can stick to Risk 15 for the Fixed map as the rewards aren’t exponentially large.
Clear out the limited rewards in the exchange shop. Spending the rest of your currency on RMA-70-12 is highly recommended.

THE RISKS / CONTRACTS

So you’re probably asking, “What Risks / Contracts do I pick?” The short answer: It depends on what Operators you have.
The long answer: There are a few “free” Risks that you can pick, which include:

Reducing Defense Seals (your HP) to 1
Your choice of increasing general enemy stats by a certain percentage

HP
Armor
Movement speed
Attack

Banned tiles
Unable to deploy certain classes of Operators

Guards and Defenders, OR
Casters and Medics

Reduce squad size to 10
Deployment cost regeneration reduced

New Risks will be introduced in the second week of the event which generally are the easier ones, if you think you can’t clear 18 in the first week. You can only pick one of each type of Risk, if there are similar ones. Some also need to be unlocked first. Utilizing a Support Contract will automatically set Risk level to zero.

LAST MINUTE PREPARATIONS
It is of course, highly recommended you have your core team of Elite 2 Operators. Level them up to at least Elite 2, Level 40 as the LMD requirement is not as steep as later levels. Where possible, you would prefer to have a balanced spread of both ranged and melee Operators as the rotating maps will be best suited to certain types of Operators. To be extra safe, work on at least Skill level 7 for the Operators you will be utilizing.
Friend Support Operators do not reset during Contingency Contract, so find that one person on your list with the support you need most and have them stick there throughout the event. You can always borrow what you are lacking in this event, there’s no need to worry about auto deploy requirements here.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED OPERATORS TO HAVE
Many of these Operators already come highly recommended, and with good reason. This list applies to this iteration of Contingency Contract, specifically the Fixed Map, as new Operators will be available as time goes on, but plenty of them are still pretty good if not merely okay in general content, and there’s nothing stopping you if you want to build someone specific for meme runs.
VANGUARDS
MYRTLE

Myrtle is one DP battery, especially if you have her Skill 1 on Mastery 3. If you need her to support her teammates at the cost of a longer cooldown, she’s also flexible enough for you to utilize her Skill 2. One could argue that with her, you can take the slow DP regen Risks at no cost to you. Her Elite 2 upgrade may not be that necessary, but her Talent to heal other Vanguards can come in handy with…
SIEGE
Siege with her Skill 2 can help back up your DPS, and she can be quite survivable with her Talent, King of Beasts, that increases Vanguard ATK and DEF. Her Skill 2 can also become spammable as she holds charges and regains 1 Skill Point when an enemy dies in her four surrounding grids. Myrtle’s Talent may be able to keep her surviving for even longer. Her initial deployment cost may be too high for her to be your proper DP generator, however.
TEXAS

This taciturn Lupo’s bread and butter will be her Skill 2, providing both DP and bringing some crowd control with its stuns. It also deals Arts damage instead of physical, so can help you shred some of the inflated HP of the enemies within its range.
GUARDS
CH’EN

Primarily used for her Skill 2, Ch’en brings high burst of mixed damage. You’d use her more like a fast-redeploy, which unfortunately does mean her Cost can increase exponentially and she may not be redeployed on time if you need it. She also needs Mastery 3 on her Skill 2 for her to be able to use it instantly. Should you have a friend with her, slash away.
HELLAGUR

Hellagur‘s role can also be seen as an assassin, though a more durable one with his ability to passively heal when he’s not blocking enemies at Elite 2. Either his Skill 1 or Skill 2 may be used as his Skill 3 takes too long to charge up. He’d be camping enemy Casters, rapidly healing back up the damage the Casters deal to him and take them out before they go any further.
SILVERASH

Best known for his Skill 3, SilverAsh brings the DPS as he strikes down up to 6 enemies at Mastery 3. Most Doctors would use him similarly to Ch’en where they will retreat him once his skill ends its duration. At Mastery 3, the redeployment cooldown is faster than him charging it back up if you leave him on the field. Besides his flashy sword skills, his Leader passive also allows you to redeploy other Operators on a shorter cooldown.
ASTESIA

Some might tell you Astesia can do anything. She deals Arts (magic) damage, and when her Skill 2 is active, she can also attack up to 3 enemies at once. Needless to say, she’ll be extremely handy when it comes to high armour enemies while also gradually stacking up more attack speed the longer she’s deployed thanks to her Talent.
LAPPLAND

When her Skill 2 is active, Lappland is a ranged guard who can also deal Arts damage automatically and attacks one additional target. While that is certainly very welcome, her Talent to silence enemy abilities is yet another reason why she’s a highly popular Operator in general. Later Contingency Contract events will render bosses immune to this Talent, but nonetheless having a Lappland in general is nice.
SPECTER

The shark nun who won’t die, Specter has been used in high Risk runs for her Skill 2, allowing her to survive any attack for its duration. You’d especially want her Skill 2 to be at Mastery 3 for the shortest cooldown possible since she stuns herself after it ends and the enemies won’t stop coming. She’s also an AOE Guard, able to attack up to 3 enemies at once at Elite 2.
SNIPERS
SCHWARZ

Schwarz is basically built to be a boss killer with her Skill 3 if you plan to run a ranged-heavy composition. She even has a Talent that increases Sniper attack, as long as she and one other are deployed. Her Skill 3 shortening her range might be an issue, however, if you don’t find the correct spot to deploy her.
DEFENDERS
HOSHIGUMA

Besides her Talent of increasing all other Defenders’ defense, Hoshiguma can also be really lucky and activate her other Talent that blocks any incoming damage. With her Skill 2, she can reflect (physical) damage onto enemies who target her, or with her Skill 3, she can be your DPS as she churns through any enemies who stray into her path.
SARIA

When you ban Medics, Saria will simply ignore that and heal your Operators anyway while being decently tanky thanks to her Talent. At Elite 2, she can also provide 1 Skill Point when she heals Operators in her range if you’re using her Skill 2. Do note that she only provides the Skill Point if she heals them; full HP Operators do not enjoy this benefit. She can also provide soft crowd control with her Skill 3, where her range expands exponentially and slows down enemies within it while lowering their resistance to Arts damage.
NEARL

While not necessarily as potent as her fellow healing Defender Saria, Nearl can be a sufficient replacement. Her Skill 1 only heals allies who drop below 50%, but her Skill 2 has her focus on healing duties. She also packs her Elite 2 Talent which increases healing effectiveness by all allies, so she can be used in tandem with Saria for greater survivability.
CUORA

If all else fails, go back to your tried and tested Cuora, who has ridiculous amounts of defense for an easy to raise 4-star Operator. Being able to block up to 4 enemies when her Skill 2 is active is just the icing on a really tough cake.
MEDICS
They are not generally brought along due to attack-buff Risks are capable of taking out your Operators in one hit, but if you do bring them, then these are some of your best bets.
SHINING

In giving up her sword, Shining took up healing to protect her allies. Her Talent and Skills 2 and 3 are able to increase the defense of your frontliners to help them survive one more hit.
PTILOPSIS

Tea Apple Sauce, or Ptilopsis, may also be referred to as a powerbank. Her Talent is improved at Elite 2, providing increased Skill Point regeneration to allies in her range. Her Skill 2 also increases her range, and dishes out a lot of healing on a long duration. Healing and fast skill cooldowns are welcome in general content too.
SILENCE

While Silence may be a single-target healer, her Skill 2, her drone, is what makes her incredible. Her drone makes her range more flexible, being able to be deployed on any valid empty space and providing high burst heal when it is active in a 3 by 3 range.
SUPPORTERS
ANGELINA

This country lass needs her Elite 2 to shine, but she’ll pay you back with how much her Skill 3 does. Dubbed a Caster in disguise, and a “mini Eyjafjalla”, she reduces the “weight” of enemies – making her an extremely good when deployed in combination with a Push/Pull Specialist – and can attack up to 5 enemies at once with Arts damage. She does have a little drawback in that she won’t be able to attack normally when her skills are down, but it’s not all lost: when not attacking, her Talent passively heals Operators globally.
GLAUCUS

Presumably a wannabe-Sniper, Glaucus deals Arts damage as well as prioritizes drones with her normal attacks. Her Skill 2 has a wide range and stops enemy movement momentarily, allowing her for some form of crowd control. Drones hit by her Skill 2 – her EMP – will be stunned and damage dealt to them will be doubled.
CASTERS
EYJAFJALLA

The volcano herself, Eyjafjalla is officially a single-target Caster, but her Skill 2 and Skill 3 would say otherwise. Doctors may prefer to utilize her Skill 2 instead, as it’s on a shorter cooldown and can store charges and lowers enemy resistance. If you need her to go boom, then Skill 3 will expand her range and nuke down enemies at the cost of a higher cooldown. This can be slightly mitigated by having Ptilopsis or…
MOSTIMA

Mostima may be considered a core unit in Caster compositions thanks to her Talent of increasing Skill Point gain for Casters in specific. While her Skill 3 is incredibly flashy – not unlike a certain Guard above – her Skill 2 is more recommended due to having a shorter cooldown and “stunning” enemies in its range for more reliable crowd control.
SPECIALISTS
FEATER

As a Push Specialist, FEater does what you want her to do: shove enemies away, to stall. Her recommended skill level does need to be Mastery 3 for her Skill 1 for more consistent, automatic pushes, however. Her Skill 2 is also recommended to be at least Level 7 for more precise pushing strategies.
MANTICORE

Part of the crowd control package, you might see strategies utilizing Manticore with Angelina as a primary damage dealer as she slows down all enemies in her range with her attacks. You’d be utilizing her Skill 1 to this effect.
PROJEKT RED

Most definitely not Geralt of Rivia, Projekt Red will be using her Skill 1 to try assassinate enemy Casters with her increased damage and damage evasion. With her Talent, she may also be able to do scratch damage to more heavily armoured enemies.
ETHAN

The other half of the crowd control package, Ethan‘s Talent allows him to stop enemy movements, though more randomly. His Skill 2 will increase his Talent activation, but you’d more likely see him in tandem with Manticore rather than solo. Do note that “Binding” will still allow enemies to attack if they have a target.
GRAVEL

She gives you attention and in return, you have Gravel bait invisible enemies, usually Casters, with her Skill 2 up. Breaking stealth will allow your DPS units to actually attack, while her shield absorbs damage while it’s up.
SHAW

In the interests of legibility, mimicking Shaw‘s tic will not be done here, but she works similarly to her fellow Push Specialist, FEater with the same recommended requirement of Mastery 3 on her Skill 1.

It isn’t to say it isn’t possible for lower rarity Operators to achieve Risk 18 on the Fixed Map, but it does require another level of preparation and planning in order to pull it off. You may want to look up how the maps work from content creators, and find high Risk runs by some of the Chinese players on bilibili if you’re curious. Risk levels beyond 18 may require max Potentials on your Operators, which aren’t necessarily feasible.
Whatever it is though, this will be the first run of Contingency Contract on Arknights global servers, so what’s important is to have fun and may this simple guide tide you over! Hopefully. Good luck, Doctors!

Epic Games Blows More Than Half Its Revenue On Exclusives

The Epic Games Store reportedly spends more than half its annual revenue on its exclusives-centric approach, new court documents reveal.

As spotted by PC Gamer, the Epic v Apple court case has unearthed some new documents, including a year-end financial report by Epic Games showing just how much money they spend securing exclusives to get players off of Steam and on to the Epic Games Store.

Of the Epic Games USD 700 Million of revenue in 2020, the company reportedly spent USD 444 Million on its third-party exclusives. However, these third party games would only go back to generate USD 265 million for the Epic Games Store in turn.
The main way they do this is by offering developers an advance, calling it a “Minimum Guarantee”. Basically even if your game doesn’t actually hit a projected number of sales, Epic Games will pay you as if you did. Famously, Epic had spend USD 10.45 million for one of the early high-profile acquisitions by the store, Control.

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has responded to the reports, saying it doesn’t matter that the store is losing money, because it’s getting exposure. He posted up an infographic saying that the money spent was rather “invested” into a better platform in the future. He also called out Apple for trying to spin the story of Epic Games losing money with the emotive phrase “losing money”.

That’s right! And it has proven to be a fantastic success in reaching gamers with great games and a fantastic investment into growing the business! https://t.co/MN8OjM5FEP pic.twitter.com/Yl0LmCZjKB

Expect more of this kind of news as Apple and Epic Games legal battle goes to trial in May, as both Apple and Epic bring up reasons to sway the arguments in their favor. Epic and Apple have been fighting over Epic’s right to break the App Store Terms of Service, despite explicitly agreeing to them when they first opened shop.
Epic Games has been trying to brand this as a consumer rights issue, calling Apple’s 30% cut anti-consumer despite the fact Apple no longer takes a 30% cut unless you make over a certain amount in overall revenue.

Immortals: Fenyx Rising Hands-On Preview

Greek Mythology is probably one of the most popular inspirations for fiction. We got a special opportunity to try out Immortals: Fenyx Rising, the new game by Ubisoft. Fans may know it by its previous name, Gods And Monsters.

How does the game play? Was it an experience fitting of the Gods? Read on and find out. Our thanks to Ubisoft for the opportunity to try out this game.

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

It’s almost mandatory in Ubisoft open worlds at this point.
Typical Ubisoft Charm
Immortals: Fenyx Rising has you playing as Fenyx, a demigod. Players can customize their Fenyx’s gender to their liking, though this option was disabled in this build of the game. Fenyx is on a quest to save the Greek Gods, as the powerful titan Typhon escapes Tartaros.
The preview build is narrated by Zeus and Prometheus , who constantly break the fourth wall. Fenyx interacts with them too, creating quite the whimsical atmosphere. They make a lot of meta jokes and references to our world, the mileage of which may vary depending on the player. Personally, they sound just relaxed enough that they give off a Statler and Waldorf vibe.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Ubisoft game without vantage points. The first thing the preview build asks of you is to activate Far Sight, as Fenyx stands perched on a cliff. From there, players can reveal points of interest on the horizon. It’s a pretty interesting way to tell players where to go, and much better than just showing the map light up with icons.
Right off the bat, we’re introduced to the main point of interest- Vaults of Tartaros. We’re also treated to the game’s main method of traversal. Fenyx can transition into a glide from a jump, which gets you on the fast track to the Vault of Tartaros nearby.
Upon arriving, however, Fenyx is greeted by enemies coming from the rift. This serves as the game’s introduction to combat.
Combat in this game is really fun, especially with the addition of the ability to stun enemies with enough damage
Combat
Combat in the game is fairly deep, with a lot of interesting new implementations for familiar mechanics. Fenyx has several tools at their disposal, including an axe for normal attacks. This axe has decent speed and sweeping attacks, making it good for dealing with the mobs of enemies thrown at you.
That’s not the only main weapon at your disposal, though, as later on in the demo Fenyx can swap out their normal weapons. You also gain access to a sword, which is a lot faster than the axe.
The game also has a fairly robust combo system, with the developers describing as “aerial focused”. Indeed, one of Fenyx’s special moves even acts as a launcher, throwing enemies in the air with a flurry of spears erupting from the ground.
Aggressive Stamina System
Additionally, Fenyx also has Hephaistos’ Hammer. This acts more as the game’s heavy attack, with powerful, slow moves. This hammer can also stun large enemies with its big blows.
Using special attacks consumes stamina in the game, which can land you in hot water. Some of the game’s consumables will allow you to regain stamina, though the real way to regain it is a lot more interesting.
Rather than pace around the room waiting for your stamina to regenerate, Fenyx can gain stamina by making normal attacks. This allows Fenyx to keep the pressure on enemies, even without the meter to use special attacks.
Additionally, the game also has a parrying system. Most attacks can be parried, but not all. Enemies that glow red are performing unparriable attacks and Fenyx will have to dash out of the way of these. I really appreciate that, rather than turning the whole enemy red, the game highlights the part of the monster being used to attack. For example, the Cyclops’ unblockable is a swing with its right arm, so only the right arm glows. Its a great way to focus on the part that’s about to hit you.
Fenyx isn’t going through these encounters alone, however. You have an ally in Phosphor, a phoenix that follows Fenyx around. Fenyx can be upgraded with different abilities. In the demo, Phosphor could be used to attack enemies and cause them to drop stamina pickups, allowing Fenyx to keep up the offensive.
Boss fights are a lot more involved than just running up and whacking them, which is a nice touch
Boss Encounters
The demo treats us to a boss in Hephaistos’ stage, a giant automaton. It’s a fairly simple boss fight, with good tells. It telegraphs all its moves, and has decently large openings for players to exploit. One gripe here is that the boss’ health bar is significantly less detailed than the player’s own health bar, and it can be easy to mix the two up.
Another cool mechanic is a poise system similar to games like Sekiro. Bosses have a secondary bar under their health, which fills up as they take damage. Filling this up to max will stun the boss, giving you a big rally opportunity.
In the overworld, there are also overworld events called Rage of Typhon. When the Rage of Typhon appears, being spotted will cause it to throw meteors at Fenyx. On top of that, normally-passive creatures in the world will become aggressive to Fenyx.
The player will also be hunted by a Wraith of Odysseus, who will hunt the player down. This is a pretty challenging fight, though it’s not certain how often players will deal with it in the full game.
Naturally, the game rewwards things like masterful dodging
Upgrades
Though we didn’t have access to it, the game does possess an upgrade system. These are split along the lines of normal and divine skills, and will likely suit the players own playstyle.
On top of that, you can upgrade your health, stamina, and equipment. These all require collectibles, including the Zeus’ Lightning you get from completing the Vaults of Tartaros.
There are several available mounts in the demo, though it’s unclear how many more will be in the final game
The Tools For Exploration
Fenyx has several tools in their arsenal to use. Most of these tools are more to utility than combat, as per the game’s more exploration based focus. The most useful of these is the strength of Herakles, which lets you carry and manipulate objects in the world. The first Vault of Tartaros is a great tutorial on this, as the game shows you that dungeons will have objects like weight-dependent switches.
You also have a mount, which Fenyx can summon at will. This horse is great for traversing distances when you have no vantage points, as well as if you plan to stop on the way to your next objective. There are also other tameable mounts in the game, though the demo only had 2 other horses. These can be a fun side objective, as taming them requires you to successfully sneak up on them.
Having magic tendrils do the lifting is a neat way to save on animation for the game’s various carrying puzzles.
Level Design
The world of Immortals: Fenyx Rising has Fenyx on a quest to save the Gods of Olympus. The main area we were shown in the demo, Hephaistos’ forge, is full of automaton-looking beings running around. The first challenge we were made to do was really interesting, as Fenyx would grab large boulders of coal, light them on fire, and throw them into chimneys to restart the forge.
Aside from the fiends wandering the area, there are also automatons frozen in place. It’s a nice touch of environmental design- as the forge died, so did they, and it does a lot to sell the place as somewhere that used to serve a purpose.
The greater world itself is also really interesting, with lots of chests full of items for players to explore.
The Vaults of Tartarus are also great for players that pride themselves on platforming and puzzles. They’re not physically demanding, but solving these puzzles can leave you with a great deal of satisfaction.
Acquiring Zeus’ Lightning allows you to upgrade your stamina in the full game
Closing Thoughts
Immortals: Fenyx Rising looks like its going to be a great game. Unlike previous Ubisoft titles, this seems to focus more on unique experiences, rather than repetitive busywork.
The involved combat system is also greatly appreciated, as you can have quite a lot of fun styling on enemies with combos. Most of your skills can also chain into your regular combos, giving you quite a bit of flexibility. Phosphor is also a great ally, and I’m interested to see what other skills the full version of the game will have.
The open world also has plenty for players to do, and the Rage of Typhon adds a fun challenge into the mix. We’ll certainly be keeping an eye on this one when the game launches later this year.

My Dress Up Darling Anime Episode 1 Impressions – The Dress Up Doll Who Fell In Love

When My Dress Up Darling first announced it would get its anime adaptation, I was over the moon. It’s an amazing manga that combines being about cosplay, the struggles of being a creative and a pretty solid rom com all in one gorgeously drawn manga.

On top of that, the anime is being produced by CloverWorks– by all metrics a great studio for producing good-looking anime.

For those out of the loop, My Dress Up Darling is an anime that centers around Gojou Wakana- a shy teenage boy whose family craft is working on Hina Dolls. He’s downright obsessed with his family trade, practicing painting faces and making clothes for the traditional goods.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

That obsession came with a price, as kids from his childhood not only ostracized him, but straight-up mocked him for his hobbies. As a result he’s kept to himself, thinking no one would ever approve of his hobbies.

This all changes when he meets Kitagawa Marin- a girl in every way his opposite. She’s loud, outspoken and a total otaku, and people are just kind of okay with it, accepting this as just a part of who she is.
Gojou learns that Marin wants to get into cosplay, but sucks at sewing. Completely enamored by Gojou’s skills, she asks for his help to make her cosplay dreams come true, kicking off their friendship.
A Story About People First
Just off the bat I really love the setup for Marin and Gojou’s relationship- while Marin comes off as the typical dumb beauty, both the anime and manga are very quick to show off that’s not the case: she’s incredibly observant, and tells Gojou to speak his mind more instead of being afraid of stepping on other people’s toes.

As a character she shows a different side of her for her different interactions, and it’s a big part of her appeal since it makes her so much more than a one-note waifu. It almost reminds me of Sakurajima Mai from Bunny Girl Senpai- to this day fans are still arguing over whether or not she’s a Tsundere when the truth is she’s written more like a real person, hence the difficulty to pin her into a label.
Similarly, episode 1 shows us that Marin is very much a free spirit- even her friends don’t understand her obsession with anime, or why it’s so sacred that she will literally put down guys who try to mock her for it. The way her outbursts are written is also incredibly touching: unlike a lot of rom coms that are just about how close you can tease two characters getting together, My Dress Up Darling comes off feeling like it’s going to have something to say about its cosplay.
It should be noted that a lot of this is mixed from my own experience with the manga- there’s a very good chance that the anime might pull a live action Cowboy Bebop and decide themes about passion and art aren’t important and just focus on the funny cosplay girl.
Manga, Enhanced
I mentioned this earlier, but the visuals of My Dress Up Darling are downright gorgeous. It has to be- the manga has some gorgeous art in it too, so any kind of downgrade would have been really rough on the eyes. The series has a nice warm color palette, which really compliments the softer-toned visuals from the manga as well.
There’s one thing that’s hard to not bring up, which is the ecchi nature of the manga. While never anything full-on, the manga is quite fond of its fanservicey shots, as is typical of the shy-boy-meets-gyaru subgenre. The anime is a lot more tame with this, with the ass shots from the manga being more blink-and-you’ll-miss-it frames instead of focusing on it with dramatic pulls in and out with a slide whistle effect.

Personally, I really like it this way- it would have been dishonest to make the anime free of its sexual undertones, especially considering the fact the episode ends with Marin revealing the character she wants to cosplay is from an eroge- but I’m also glad that just like how you can skip over ecchi panels, you could totally miss the fanservicey parts in the first episode.
As a fan of the manga, I’m tickled pink by the first episode of the My Dress Up Darling anime. It’s pretty much looking like all I could have wanted from one of my favorite manga series- and I can’t wait to see where it goes next.

In Gnarvana Portal, players can generate original levels based on a selection of parameters like style, difficulty, and length. Each creation comes with a unique virtual 8-digit postcode that can be shared with anyone in the world, enabling players to compete against each other cross-platform.
“In OlliOlli World, you should expect loads of seriously wacky locations to explore and rad new characters to meet,” said John Ribbins, Creative Director of Roll7. “OlliOlli World is a love letter to the bizarre and magnificent aspects of skateboarding culture. It embraces the weird and wonderful aspects of this street phenomenon and encourages you to express yourself freely.”

Level-5 confirms launch date for Otome Hero

Level-5 has once again released a new detail regarding its upcoming mobile RPG Otome Hero, in that it will finally be coming out mid-December 2017 in Japan for the Android and iOS.

If you have been keeping an eye on its development, you will know that the game was initially announced on July 2016 and slated for a winter release. Obviously they missed that deadline, and they have pushed it back even further. Delays are not always necessarily a bad thing, since it allows developers to take their time to polish the game.

Ancestors: The Human Odyssey Review – Apes Together Strong

Developed by Panache Digital Games and published by Private Division, Ancestors: The Human Odyssey is a survival game where evolution is the main premise of the game, and here’s our review of the game.

The game is not meant for those who denied Charles Darwin’s theory on evolution.

The Circle of Life

Ancestors: The Human Odyssey is a third-person survival game where its setting of the game is located in prehistoric Africa. Players will have to control a lineage of apes as they go through the evolutionary cycle while discovering the land.
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

If an ape that you’re controlling dies, the other member in the clan will replace the fallen ape and continue on until all of the members in your clan are dead. Brutal.
The game starts off with the scene of an ape carrying its child on its back, but is suddenly killed by a bird, and the child drops down. The first mission will feature the player playing as the child and will need to hide from in a hole to avoid getting eaten by predators.
Through the mission, the game introduces to you some gameplay mechanics such as various of sensing abilities which is used to help in completing the missions. These sensing abilities come in the form of different abilities such as “Intelligence”, “Smelling” and “Hearing” which can be used for players to scope out their environments of threats or points of interests.
The whole gist of the gameplay for Ancestors is essentially “Survival of the fittest”. The hunt or be hunted concept is built around during the entirety of the game, all while advancing through evolution.
Evolution through Controls

Ancestor: The Human Odyssey is best played using a controller. The controls depend on the player’s own sense of discovery as much won’t be said throughout the game. The dev’s intention for players when playing this game would be to experience what it’s like to be in the shoes (in this case, feet) of a living creature who knows nothing about the vast world, experience and learning along the way.
One of the examples would be during the first mission where you have to save the child in danger, you’d have to click according to the controller’s vibration. Once the controller vibrates, you’ll have to click on the button. But the game doesn’t tell you what buttons to press to fulfill the entire interaction.
Another interaction would be grooming which is done to create bonds between apes; a specific button would initiate the grooming sequence but the game doesn’t explicitly tell you what buttons to press and at which correct timing.
The “Help” option in the menu would explain the game’s mechanics but there’s no further explanation as to how to utilize the function. So you’re pretty much stuck till you figure it out by yourself (unless you go search it online but where’s the fun in that). But once you manage to do it successfully, it’s very satisfying.
In the Jungle, the Mighty Jungle

The visuals of prehistoric Africa is stunning. The sense of being thrown into the unknown gives the game a certain charm of exploration and adventurism really enhances the experience of the game. The environment can be a bit intimidating at times with how overwhelming it can be with its sprawling designs but it gets easier to mentally map out each locale over the course of time.
Time and time, you’ll discover new territories with beautiful landscapes, but while the environment can be nice to see and all but if you’re out adventuring for too long in a new and unknown territory, your ape would get afraid since it’s a entirely foreign land. And if your ape is feared for too long, you’ll be forced to change into a new ape.
The prehistoric land of Africa and also be an intimidating place filled with dangerous predators out for the hunt. You’ll need to keep an eye out for predators such as prehistoric crocodiles, pythons, bears and tigers while traversing the lands, and while running away is certainly an option, it’s not the only option you have. If being attacked by an opponent, you’re also able to fend off their attacks to fight back to assert your dominance.
Features That Will Be Passed On To Generations To Come

Being able to climb up every tree and rock

While climbing up trees and jump from one to another can be fun, you’ll have to be careful as well since failing to land on a tree and falling down will cause damage to your ape, having it have injuries as well as making it difficult to walk for a certain amount of time.
Although I found it difficult to control using the analogue stick while climbing up and down trees. The camera movement was super awkward when climbing since there’s some weird interactions when climbing.

Players can advance their species

Players can broaden a clan’s knowledge by inspecting different aspects of the environment such as checking out varying types of plants and learning their properties can greatly benefit future generations to come. And by observing other animals it’ll impact your survival traits.

Skills and States

One of the main feature of Ancestors would be Neurological Growths. There are skills such as Motor Functions and Sensing Abilities can be upgraded and once its upgraded to a certain point, you’ll be able to advance a generation which allows them to see where their progress has taken their species.
Along with their abilities, there are multiple statuses to keep in mind for the apes from health, stamina, and to even dopamine levels which are significant for day to day survival.
When it comes to mentioning these statuses, the game will say what one can do to heal or recover all the negative status but as always, the game won’t mention what kind of stuff that I should be looking for to cure the status and I ended up spending a great deal of my time dragging my ape around when it got poisoned by a food that it ate until the poison left the ape’s body eventually.
Verdict

Ancestor: The Human Odyssey is such a unique game that I really want to love but it playing it takes so much of your time and grinding through the same processes over and over again doesn’t give you enough payoff to encourage its players to continue playing the game. The learning curve for game mechanics just takes up too much time and makes players easy to give up on the game.
The features and concept of the game is such a breath of fresh air but I just wished they polish up the tedious parts of the game such as being able to skip some cutscenes like the grooming because it can lose its charm after watching it for the fifth time.

Pros
Cons

Unique premise
Payoff of grinding doesn’t amount to the time it takes.

Environment gives a sense of adventure

Score:
7/10

Azur Lane EN Lets You Choose To Keep Ai Kayano Or Not

The EN version of Azur Lane will let you choose whether or not to keep Ai Kayano as a voice in the game, despite controversy currently surrounding the voice actor.

While the international players will still have access to the new voice of Graf Zeppelin, one Azur Lane player on reddit has noted that there’s actually a switch button, letting you choose Ai Kayano instead for the character.

Sadly, as many fans have pointed out, it’s unlikely to mean that Ai Kayano would be coming back to voice the ship girl- this seems more of a case of them not throwing out the voice files they already have, with Yumi Uchiyana taking over the role going forward while also being locked to Uchiyana for the Chinese release of the game.
This is similar to how Genshin Impact handled their censored designs for key characters, wherein the censored design is the new “main look”, appearing in promotional materials, though international audiences could still opt-in for the old look if they so desired.

PSVR2 Review – A Comfortable Way to Slip into Virtual Reality

We recently got our hands on the highly anticipated PSVR2 headset, and admittedly I’m pretty stroked to review it and see how different it feels.

Previously, we did an unboxing article so if you haven’t checked that out yet, you can do so here.

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

Packaging
Packaging-wise, the contents inside is much more straightforward this time around there’s less stuff compared to the original PSVR; but still feel complete at the same time. This is beneficial since it eases up the complicated set up process using several accessories. This is especially so since you don’t need to buy the Motion Controller and PlayStation Camera separately. Those were the two accessories which weren’t included in the package in previous bundles.
The PSVR2 is designed with newer audiences in mind since you can get right in without much hassle. You got the headset with a built-in power cable, two Sense controllers, an additional USB-C cable for the controller, and a 3D audio earphone that comes with several earpieces. These are all the essentials that you need to get started immediately. Gone are the days that you needed dig deeper into your pockets.
Follow us on Twitter

Tweet to @GamerBraves

The box that is used to store the PSVR2 is also designed where you can neatly store the headset and controllers after your gaming session. Personally, I tend to just throw away packaging boxes once I unbox them, so this was a nice change.

Design and New Features
Unlikes the PS5 design which took me a while to get used to, I’m already a huge fan of how the PSVR2 looked since its reveal. It’s slick and modern design outclasses the dated design of the first generation when comparing side by side. The headset still retains the iconic white and black colour scheme, and also see the four camera set-up for enhanced tracking at the front. There’s also other important components including the power button, function button, scope adjustment button, and the lens adjustment dial.
One thing that I didn’t expect from wearing and holding the headset was just how light it is. I was fully expecting a weighty device but much to my surprise, it felt comfortable even when using for a long period of time. The rubber cushion around the eye while thin, feel soft and flexible enough to ensure that it fully covers the eyes. I would imagine that the rubber material won’t be torn easily, but still won’t hurt to exercise caution because it does feel rather fragile.
As far as features goes, the PSVR2 is a more powerful device that offers 4K resolution with OLED display, 110-degree field view, foveated rendering support, and an option for 90 / 120Hz frame rates. The built-in tracking cameras are a game changer because not only is it more flexible in reading surroundings, but you also don’t need to set up a PlayStation Camera anymore. There’s also eye tracking, headset tracking, and 3D audio for better immersion.
Moving on to the Sense controllers, I’m also a huge fan of the design and the orb shape since it helps to keep your hand secure even without using the strap. The way they designed it is pretty much having one DualSense controller being split apart without the directional button. I brought up the DualSense because it also brings some of its best features, such as adaptive triggers and haptic feedback.

There’s also a finger touch detection and tracking, which works surprisingly well when I tried out a few games to the point that it almost felt like seeing your hand reflection without any kind of input delay.
Setting Up
As soon as you connect the PSVR2 to the PS5, you’ll be greeted with the option to set up the headset, which takes a bit of time. It’s rather awkward at first since you need to switch a few times between wearing the headset and seeing the instructions on the TV screen.
When setting up the PSVR2, it’s crucial to have an ample amount of space. This is important because even if you plan on playing while seated, you’ll still need to secure a safe area to move your body around.
Aside from that, you’ll need to adjust the brightness of the room to make tracking easier, but not to the point where the lightsource is too strong. Just turning on the lights in your room is enough. Going on a tangent, the step where you need to scan the room manually is so mesmerising. It’s like being in a high tech suit while seeing all sorts of holograms over all of the objects in your room. After that, you’ll just need to set up the eye tracking which is also super responsive and the PSVR is ready to use.
Of course, you can always adjust the setting any time if something doesn’t feel right. Since there’s already built-in cameras, you can even use it to view your surroundings from the function button without needing to take off the headset; making it convenient to adjust your position.
Game Testing
We got our hands on some games for the launch up title for testing which includes Horizon: Call of the Mountain, Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge – Enhanced Edition, Moss and Moss: Book II, Kayak VR: Mirage, and Townsmen VR. Going through the games and all of them are equally good when it comes to offering an immersive experience. Horizon: Call of the Mountain was especially impressive because this is the true exclusive title that they used as one of its strongest sellers. It’s for a good reason too since in terms of graphics, this title is easily among the best for VR games.
The game is not only graphically impressive, but the gameplay is also pretty fun. Whether it’s climbing the mountain or fighting against machines with your bow, everything feels natural once you get the hang of the controls, all while giving you complete freedom just to fool around by tossing objects or even letting yourself get lost in some of the fun distractions.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t really able to tell the difference in terms of resolution quality or whatnot, because no matter what I did with the image, it still looked blurry. It’s not to the point where I can’t enjoy the game, but it definitely could’ve been a lot better, I just haven’t figured out how to fix it quite yet. Even adjusting the lens and scope didn’t help that much either.
Another small gripe that I had while playing the game was the controller itself. You got two controllers with a pretty sizable battery life, but once it’s drained out you need to charge each controller individually which can be annoying. And while there’s a separate charging station that you can buy so it’s easier to store the Sense controllers while keeping it charged, it isn’t exactly cheap.
VR Sickness
Sadly, I still fall victim to VR sickness. This is a common problem for me, mainly when playing games which involved character movement to different places, where it seems like your character actually moves while your body stays in one place. This triggered an immediate nauseating reaction, and I’ve experienced it a few times when using the headset.
Even when playing Kayak VR, a game where you only need to stay in your boat still gave me that nauseating feeling, mainly because the game involves movement and how your boat feels wobbly from the currents.
Although, VR games where you just need to stay seated and where everything is within reach is completely fine for me. Meanwhile, anything that forces your character to move or look around the area with smooth camera movement tend to be less than ideal.
Do keep this mind before jumping into VR, because it can leave you being sick instead of actually having a fun time. This is coming from someone who always uses motion blur when playing games for that extra cinematic feeling.
Verdict
The PSVR2 is a nice addition to an already awesome platform for you to enjoy the new generation virtual reality. Games like Horizon: Call of the Mountain is hopefully just a taste of what’s to come. As of now, it still relies on the launch line-up and how it doesn’t have backwards compatibility with PSVR games, which is huge missed opportunity. But at the same time, it’s also probably because teh support doesn’t work as simple as with normal consoles.
Complete packaging, simpler set up, better specifications, new features and the slick yet comfortable design of the system are what makes the PSVR2 shine. Although, there’s also a few other factors to consider if you truly wish to get the PSVR2, such as how the price is currently more expensive than the PS5, as well as how easy it is to get VR sick.

Square Enix announces World of Final Fantasy: Meli-Melo for smartphones

Square Enix has just announced a new World of Final Fantasy title for smartphones in the form of World of Final Fantasy: Meli-Melo, which expands on the series further. Themed as “casual,” the game boasts the same stacking mechanic from the original World of Final Fantasy, where you are able to stack up to six characters when they’re all small-size, up to four with mediums, and two with the bigger ones.

That is where the similarities end however, as when it comes to gameplay, World of Final Fantasy: Meli-Melo differs in that it will allow you to cooperate with other players. Players have access to a certain “Garden Dome” where they will be able to befriend Mirages as they explore the world of Valgallan. In addition, many of the original characters from the first game will be making their return.

Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition for the PS5

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

Devil May Cry 5 was shown off on the Playstation 5 showcase, slicing in with style. You can read all about it on the Playstation blog:

Today, Sony gave us the honor of announcing Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition in the PlayStation 5 Showcase! We here at Capcom are incredibly excited to be able to kick off the next generation by launching DMC5SE digitally, day and date with the launch of PS5.

DMC5SE was conceived with two main goals in mind – to take the award-winning gameplay of DMC5 and enhance it to provide a truly next-gen experience, and to add key content that fans have been asking for. Now that we’ve finally announced DMC5SE, I wanted to take a second to provide a look at all of the work that went into achieving these goals.

Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

First up, next-gen upgrades. As soon as we got PS5 dev kits in our hands, our team began kicking the tires to see what kind of performance we could wring out of it. The first thing that caught our engine team’s attention was the hardware’s new ray tracing capabilities. PS5’s ray tracing architecture gives us the ability to render DMC5SE’s stunning graphics with even more realistic lighting – allowing the engine to calculate light bounces, and therefore draw truly dynamic reflections and provide even more realistic lighting and shadows. Up until now, our artists have always had to create approximations of reflections by hand to achieve that effect – but the ray tracing architecture in PlayStation 5 gives us “more power” to provide true reflections in real time. In DMC5SE, players have the choice to turn on ray tracing and prioritize resolution (targeting 4K @ 30fps), or frame rate (targeting 1080p @ 60fps).

Above: DMC5SE with ray tracing on. Below: same place with ray tracing off.

For players who prefer to allocate their horsepower to frame rates over graphics, PS5 also gives console players the ability to play their games at frame rates up to 120fps (with a compatible display, of course), which is enabled in DMC5SE when players turn on High Framerate Mode.
The next-gen upgrades aren’t all visual, though. In addition to the hotly anticipated fast loading made capable by PS5’s new hard drive (it is seriously, Crazy fast), the hardware also now gives us the opportunity to provide even more immersive, 3D audio. Just wait until you get into a situation where you’re surrounded by a bunch of Hellbats – you’ll be able to pinpoint specifically where they all are in relation to the camera based on their cries.
DMC5SE also takes advantage of DualSense’s new functionality. When you press L2 to rev up Nero’s exceed, you’ll be able to feel the vibrations of the engine and the pull of the throttle. And thanks to DualSense’s upgraded haptic feedback, you’ll feel in your hands the same sensation that Nero and Dante do as they wield DMC’s trademark arsenal of weapons.
So we’ve covered the majority of the next-gen upgrades – what about the additional content? Well, there were three things in particular that stood out when fans asked for them after the announcement of DMC5.

Firstly, we added Turbo Mode – the ability to crank up DMC5SE’s gameplay to play at 1.2x the normal speed. This mode has been a fan favorite addition to DMC ever since DMC3SE – it takes DMC’s already fast paced, stylish action and kicks it up a notch. Fun fact – although partly inspired by Street Fighter 2 Turbo – Itsuno-san and his dev team first got the idea to implement Turbo Mode when they programmed DMC3 to play at the same speed on lower refresh rated PAL tvs (which update at 50hz) compared to their NTSC cousins (which update at 60hz). In development, we’ve actually tried to kick it up to 1.3x speed before as well! But we found that 1.2x provided a perfect sweet spot of speed vs. controllability.
Secondly – Legendary Dark Knight difficulty. This is a difficulty where each encounter provides multiple times the enemies compared to the other difficulties, which makes for all kinds of chaos on screen, and goes perfectly with all of the stylish, big moves that Nero, Dante and V perform as they’re obliterating demons. This can only be done at this graphical quality, thanks to the upgrades in horsepower and memory that PS5 features.
And last, but certainly not least – Vergil. As soon as DMC5 was announced back in 2018, the most consistent request that we got from players was for playable Vergil. When my boss, Jun Takeuchi, came to me late last year and said “let’s do this,” I knew that the first thing we would have to do is make sure that we make Vergil playable. In DMC4, Vergil got an upgrade with the Concentration Gauge, which reflected his calm and deadly nature. For DMC5SE, we’ve added even more interesting twists to his gameplay in addition to the return of said Concentration Gauge. And if you own DMC5 on PS4 stay tuned, the Playable Character: Vergil Paid DLC will be available at a later date. You can get a taste of what’s to come in the trailer below!
It’s incredibly exciting to be able to say that we’re going to be able to represent Capcom and kick off PS5 with Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition. We’ve worked hard to provide an upgrade that takes proper advantage of all of the new hardware capabilities, while also offering content that fans have been asking for. At $39.99 USD we think it’s a great, affordable way to get a taste of the true next-gen experience that PS5 has to offer, and enjoy an award-winning action game to boot. We hope you all have a Smokin’ Sexy Stylish time with it when it launches day one on PlayStation 5.

RESIDENT EVIL: Infinite Darkness is almost here, with new character art to go with its upcoming release exclusively on Netflix on 8 July 2021. Have a look at the art featuring featuring fan favourites Leon and Claire, as well as new characters Jason and Shen May, whom you’ll be seeing in action in RESIDENT EVIL: Infinite Darkness.

Leon and Jason are featured with stern expressions on their faces, uncertain of what they might face. Claire, on the other hand, is pictured holding the series’ classic flashlight in one hand as she searches for something, highlighting the tension in the scene. Shen May is somewhat mysterious as she appears to be facing something disconcerting.

As they proceed with each of their investigations, how will the fates of these four individuals intertwine? And furthermore, what is the massive conspiracy behind the White House hacking incident and the terror hidden behind the tragedy in Penamstan six years ago?

This anime series will be produced and supervised by Capcom’s Hiroyuki Kobayashi, who has been responsible for bringing numerous titles in the Resident Evil series to life. TMS Entertainment, which has birthed various anime series like Lupin the 3rd and Detective Conan, is leading production, with Quebico, led by Kei Miyamoto (Resident Evil: Vendetta), in charge of 3DCG animation.
