PS5 Review – Much To Say About Next-Gen

A month after our neighbors down south, we’d finally gotten our hands on one of the year’s hottest consoles, the PS5. After all, this is more than just a mid-gen upgrade like the PS4 Pro. For better or worse, the standards set by the PS5 will say a lot about the direction of the games industry for the next 5 years.

With that in mind, we’d finally put in enough time on our end to put to words our feelings on the PS5. Is it worth all the intense drama leading up to its launch? Definitely not. But is it the perfect shiny new thing to cap off what for many has been a lackluster year? Read on and find out.

Appearance

I mean, it’s not too far a stretch to say the PS5 is an odd looking console. Its weird curves make it look right at home with the rest of your entertainment setup, if said setup was a modern art museum. Still, it somehow manages to look like a logical step-up from the PS4. I really like the colored LED strip running alongside it, since it makes it look super futuristic.

That’s also coupled with its size. It’s about 40cm tall, which is a lot harder to conceptualize than you’d think. Every time I think I’ve wrapped my head around how big it is, I still find myself taken aback by the sheer size of it. It’s not all about flaunting dominance, though, previous teardown videos of the PS5 had shown us that a lot of this girth is built to assist with cooling the console. Considering how often the PS4 would wheeze trying to get in enough air, I don’t quite mind it.

That being said, it does make displaying the console a little difficult. the marketing material always shows the PS5 upright, like a futuristic skyscraper. however, it’s increasingly difficult to find a configuration where that works since it’s so tall a lot of pre-built entertainment systems jsut won’t have space for its vertical reach.
Thankfully, the stand also enables a horizontal layout, where the PS5 is a lot more manageable. If you’re using the physical edition (like we are) though, you’ll need to just remember which way up the disc is when it goes in. Personally I don’t mind the little bump made by the additional disc drive, though I can see how that might bother some.
One gripe I have with the PS5 is with its USB spread. The console has three USB Type-A, though only one of them is on the front of the console. As someone who enjoys playing Guilty Gear on a fight stick, it’s going to make having friends over a lot more difficult since we’d have to plug it into the back of the device.
DualSense Controller

It’s no exaggeration to say that I love the Dualsense controller. From the Dualshock 3 to Dualshock 4, we got a generally more sturdy controller, and a host of new features for content creation. With the Dualsense, we’ve got a more robust controller that thinks to implement more features for an immersive play experience.
On top of that, the outside has tiny Playstation logos molded on to its body, which is a cool easter egg. But I digress.

The star of the Dualsense is its Haptic Feedback. Unlike the Dualshock’s physical rumble, the Dualsense uses speakers at various points on the controller that emit high-bass sounds to cause vibrations. It’s the same technology used in the Nintendo Switch, writ much larger.
Right now it still feels a little gimmicky, since a lot of games have implemented the feature as just a way of showing it’s there. Astro’s Playroom, the tech demo that comes free with the PS5 has the controller emit vibrations with Astro’s footsteps, and Demon’s Souls has the vibrations travel along the sides of the controller as you do brutal visceral attacks on enemies.
Still, I’m looking forward to what game developers can do to integrate the haptic feedback into the gameplay experience, since it can be used to dictate certain direcctions to the player.
There’s also the case of the Adaptive Triggers, which allow variable resistance on the left and right triggers as you pull them. This feature seems to have already found its primary use in games like Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, where the triggers kick back as you pull them to fire your gun.

Astro’s Playroom also takes this pretty far, mimicking sensations like pulling levers and cracking open Gachapons. It also sheds light on another of the controller’s features- rather than have the triggers be a binary on/off, it can actually sense light pulls vs strong pulls.
Aside from that, it improves on the Dualshock 4’s microphone port by also having a built-in microphone, which flashes orange to let you know you have it muted. As someone who has their own headset with a microphone, this isn’t as important to me personally, but it’s great for people who don’t have a headset and still want to communicate with their friends.
Launch Titles That Will Blow Specific People Away

Personally, I find that the PS5 has a strange array of launch titles, echoing back to the PS4’s less-than-stellar launch window too. It’s not that any of the games at launch are bad, it just doesn’t quite feel like any of them have that big console-pushing vibe since they’re all more niche titles.
That being said, I’m a huge fan of Demon’s Souls Remastered, the remake of the PS3 cult classic. It’s a faithful recreation of a great RPG, and runs excellently on the PS5. Other than that there aren’t many PS5-exclusives, since Miles Morales and Call of Duty are all on previous-gen consoles as well.
That’s not to say there’s nothing to play on the PS5, however. One of the big buzzwords this generation is backwards compatibility, and the PS5 lets you play most of your PS4 titles on the next-gen console without having to buy a re-release. Combined with the new Playstation Plus Collection, you’ll have plenty to play on the console even if it’s your first one, since the mere buy-in of a Playstation Plus subscription gets you titles like God of War and Bloodborne, big stalwarts of the PS4.
The Playstation Is The Station To Play Games
Some of the other big buzzwords involving the PS5 are its raytrace-enabled graphics and its solid-state drive (SSD). Raytracing has been a big topic in gaming overall as PCs moved towards the rendering method for more realistic lighting and reflections. With this generation of consoles, console players can essentially get a decent RTX-enabled PC for a fraction of the price.

Once again, the best showcase of this is in Astro’s Playroom. In the game’s GPU Jungle level, it fully flexes the power of the PS5, showing various physics-simulated blades of grass in the wind, all along a soft sunset. Even Astro’s glossy body lights up, reflecting the environmental light around them.
Not all games use raytracing, however. Demon’s Souls, for example, eschews the rendering method entirely. While the shiny new toy is great to have, not every game needs it, and sometimes games with strong art directions will be better off using it for performance mode.

Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition also lets you choose between these features, using the PS5’s Performance Mode to turn off raytracing and instead push for up to 120fps gameplay. The fact games are letting you choose your options is great, especially for action game fans who would much rather play a high-framerate game at lower resolutions than 30 frames of ray-traced 8k.
While raytracing is more of a “your mileage may vary” buzzword, it can’t be understated how important the PS5’s SSD is for gameplay. Many modern PC games swear by the SSD, having it be a core feature of their recommended settings. This is because compared to the physical Hard Disk Drive (HDD), the SSD has much faster write speeds meaning it can load things like textures with minimal delay.
In fact, while most games need next-gen updates to get them looking better on PS5, the SSD works unilaterally. One of my big gripes with the PS4 towards the end of its cycle is that many games had absurdly long loading times, like Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. Thanks to the PS5’s SSD, the loading times are dramatically cut, getting you into your hunts much faster.
User Experience
One understated part of the console is its UI. PlayStation has lived all along the spectrum of UI, from the pretty good PS4 UI to the not great at all PS Vita.

With the PS5, there’s quite a lot different from the PS4. One of the big features is the new Switcher, which lets you switch between apps without having to close them. This is great for things like checking the media folder or Playstation Store, though some titles tend to bug out while using it, such as Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
One thing I lament is the lack of PS4 themes, thanks to the fact that mousing over individual games will get you a sort of “mini theme”, playing music from the game in question and changing the backgrounds. It’s cool, but I guess I liked the idea of my PS4 being able to tell you what my favorite game was even if it wasn’t on my dashboard anymore. It’s not a deal breaker, but it’s also not something I’m particularly thrilled about.

There’s also the case of the PS5’s new standard-setting, where X is the new default confirm button instead of Circle. There’s no way to change this in the settings for the PS5, except for using a universal override that the PS5 also has.
So if you’re comfortable with the Circle and X  buttons being reversed the whole way, it’s a non-issue. Otherwise, getting used to the X-standard is a small inconvenience that you’ll eventually overcome. It should be noted though that PS4 games that use the Circle button like Asian-region versions of Bloodborne will still use them on the PS5, so it’s not like it completely unifies the system.
Industry-Specific Gripes

If you’re a content creator waiting to get your PS5, there’s some important details you should note about the PS5. A lot of this has to do with the console’s HDMI 2.1 cable, which may mess up a lot of recording setups.
Many capture cards and even displays don’t support the HDMI 2.1, although the format itself is backwards compatible. This means that you can easily plug the PS5 in with an older HDMI 2.0 (what you’re probably already using), circumventing a lot of problems. But if 8K 120fps is something you’re particularly interested in, you’ll need to start upgrading your setup and using the PS5’s own built in streaming features, since many capture cards on the market don’t support HDMI 2.1.
Closing Thoughts

The PS5 is a much bigger leap from the PS4 than the PS4 was from the PS3. It’s an absolute powerhouse of a machine, and the backwards compatibility makes such a compelling argument to purchase it since it feels like a unilateral upgrade to its predecessor.
While it’s fun to tease Playstation for their large console, it’s surprisingly purpose-built to make sure it does what it says on the box- play games. That and the more immersive features on the Dualsense make for not just a great console, but one that’s trying to push for a more immersive gaming experience beyond “new game pretty picture”.
That being said, there are still gripes to be had regarding the console. It’s got its fair share of bugs, the SSD means its got limited space, and Sony hasn’t allowed external drives to be used to expand that storage yet. It’s by no means the messiah of gaming, though it’s certainly improving the ways we interact with games.

Hogwarts Legacy Under Criticism By Trans Community For Attempts To Sweep Transphobic Issues Under Rug

Hogwarts Legacy has come under fire again, following criticism from the Transgender community about their handling of the franchises ties to author J.K Rowling and her hateful comments towards trans people.

It started when the team behind Hogwarts Legacy announced that they would be adding “Trans options” to the game, i.e unbinding the masculine voice options from feminine bodies. However they mentioned that at the end of the day you’re still a “Witch” or a “Wizard”, and would be sorted to your dormitories accordingly.

“A PR Band-Aid”
Look, in any other franchise that would be a “He a little confused but he got the spirit”-type achievement that could be applauded, if not taken with a pinch of salt. The problem is that’s not what the Trans community have been upset at the game about, and acting like it is just further harms the image of the Trans community as being pedants looking to nitpick games into submission.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

The real reason the Trans community are upset with Hogwarts Legacy and anything else Harry Potter related is the fact that at no point have any of the studios working with the Harry Potter IP come out to denounce author JK Rowling’s transphobic comments.
Laura Kate Dale, a prominent Trans woman and video game critic took the announcement to task, highlighting why the news wouldn’t change her stance on the game.
“It’s still supporting Rowling’s properties. WB Games still won’t publicly denounce Rowling’s views. WB Games CEO hasn’t changed his “being transphobic is just an opinion, and shouldn’t be criticised” stance. It’s still produced by a known right wing arsehole”, she said in a tweet.
Further down her thread, she even expressed cynicism towards the move, implying its nature as a PR stunt instead.
“And yeah, let’s be frank, this is getting labelled a “transgender option”, when other games with open option character creators don’t label it that way, is as a PR band aid. It’s there to try and deflect anger from the fact they don’t plan to Denounce Rowling’s views”, she says.
However, this wasn’t a condemnation of everyone working on Hogwarts Legacy. Instead, she clarified this is specifically to do with the fact that the people acting as the public faces of the project weren’t doing enough.
“I don’t doubt there are some well meaning pro trans folks at WB working on this game. I have no doubt some of them pushed for this to try to fix the situation. Still, it’s not enough to change the fact that the public faces of the company will not so much as denouce transphobia”, she notes.

J.K Rowling has been called out by the Trans community and decent cisgendered people for her transphobic views, to which she has only doubled down as pressure grew, most notably with an incredibly misleading manifesto implying Trans women were somehow a threat to cisgendered women.
WB Games has tried to distance themselves from Rowling by describing her demonization of a marginalized group as an opinion, never outright denouncing it.

Genshin Impact on Nintendo Switch may have been delayed due to weaker hardware

Genshin Impact for the Nintendo Switch may have been delayed due to “weaker hardware”, going by leaker Genshin Reports. The original announcement about Genshin‘s availability on the platform was made in January 2020, and there’s yet to be any confirmation about its release. It’s suggested that Genshin Impact will be coming to the Nintendo Switch later in the year, though of course it’s not through an official source. Considering the possibility of an updated Switch model with better hardware, the game could be exclusive to the newer Switch as well.

An Xbox version for Genshin has also been put forward, though this, as well as the potential cross-save support, is mostly speculative at this point.

The game is known to be demanding enough that it’s being used as a benchmark for phones, so the hardware issues on the Switch is pretty plausible to delay it even further, pending the release of a supposed Switch Pro.
Basically, availability of Genshin on Switch is yet another “wait and see” situation until the developers release a proper announcement detailing any issues regarding its release. We’re already heading into the second half of version 1.5, and players starting fresh from the Switch will have a lot to catch up with, so that’s another thing to consider, whenever it comes.

The CraftWars crossover goes live in Heroes of the Storm!

Heroes of the Storm is having its CraftWars crossover episode, for the wildest mesh of universes yet! With the CraftWars patch comes new skins, mounts, the next Nexus Anomaly, latest round of Hero reworks, and more.

The reemergence of the Dark Nexus has led to fiercer competition for Singularities than ever before—but a small group of Heroes is transforming the conflict. The Realm Crafter they’ve developed doesn’t just bring Heroes from multiple dimensions together in the Nexus—it actually fuses them, along with their friendships, rivalries, and powers.

The event mashes StarCraft and WarCraft to make a craft craft world! King of Blades Arthas presides over all the worlds. Anduin has crossed over from being a prince in Warcraft to (also) being a prince in StarCraft, becoming Emperor of the Dominion Anduin. Combining Gazlowe and the StarCraft SCV, Mineral Harvester Gazlowe comes to play, dropping just in time for his rework.

Description of the game as follows via the official website:
STORY
The game is set in a mythical place that very much resembles the American west as we know it from Sergio Leone’s westerns, borrowing some of the most popular characteristics such as gangs of outlaws, shady saloons, and desert landscapes, all served up with a good helping of sarcasm and irony.
The journey begins when a farmer and her son El Hijo are attacked by bandits who raze their farm to the ground. The mother, confronted with a difficult choice, decides to leave her son with a group of old monks at a secluded monastery in order to protect him.
However, the boy decides that the monastic life is not for him, and he decides to escape.

GAMEPLAY
The player sneaks through three different environments –
a remote monastery, a harsh and unforgiving stretch of desert, and a frontier town rife with crime and villainy.
In every environment El Hijo must contend with different opponents that will require the player to come up with a mischievous master plan to progress through the game by combining stealth and puzzle-solving.
The further El Hijo proceeds through the game the more complex the combinations get.
FEATURES
El Hijo is a non-violent stealth game. Violence is instead exchanged with the mischievous, playfulness of a young child. The bandits, monks, and lawmen that populate the world each require El Hijo to adopt a different cunning method in order to sneak past them.
In the game you:
travel through three environments: the monastery, the desert, the frontier town
hide in shadows to avoid monks and bandits
use toys to distract opponents
solve environmental puzzles
jump into laundry baskets, bathtubs, and coffins to stay hidden
help El Hijo find his mother

Saints Row (2022) Is About The Millennnial Dilemma Of Being A Gangbanger To Make Rent

We got an early hands-on with the upcoming Saints Row– the 2022 reboot of the popular open world game full of gangs, violence and more importantly, a distinct distaste for capitalism.

This preview comes courtesy of Koch Media, EGI and Ripples Asia- who got us the chance to try out the re-introduction to The Saints as well as the high-action high-octane world you’ll be living.

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

Like other Saints Row games you’re playing as your own custom character, The Boss, now customizable on the fly thanks to the power of your smartphone. You live with 3 other characters: Kevin, Eli and Neenah, and the game starts with you starting your new job at Marshall, one of three major factions controlling the city.
Turns out private military firms aren’t any more noble than any other corporations, and stiff your Boss out of a bonus despite them saving the day, meaning the crew has to rob a loan shark just to make ends meet.

While it’s definitely not the most emphasized part of the marketing in this game I gotta say the story is what won me over the most in the preview. We’ve had previous Saints Rows before, we know what they’re wacky, zany adventures and love the color purple. But with this Saints Row, having your cast be broke millennials really endears you to them.

It’s extra emphasized by the fact the game’s cast are all tied to the different factions in the city- your himbo roommate Kevin is in cahoots with The Idols, while Neenah rolls with the Panteros. The fact that none of them are zealously loyal to their bosses and even have a “Roommate Code” for what happens if you get in the way of another gang just makes it all feel more authentic to the experience of being in your 20s and just kind of being too small to be somebody.
For a series known for superpowers and hoverjets and bats in the shape of sex parephernalia, a story like this is kind of mature. Not in the sense that it’s got content warnings that would make you think you were watching Game of Thrones, but rather that it isn’t so afraid to play with serious ideas: the idea that working life, in itself, sucks. From the first three hours you don’t get the impression that the leaders of Marshall, Panteros and the Idols are exceptional because they’re evil. Instead, it’s more of a vibe that anyone at that level of influence is bound to become self-serving and have enough disposable lackies to enforce their wants.
The Gameplay’s Still Pretty Solid Too
Depressing reflections about adult life aside, there’s a lot to love with Saints Row, too. They’ve made huge strides in the field of over-the-shoulder shooters, namely by removing any kind of reliance on knee-high walls. Let’s face it, as “realistic” as it is to need to hide from an incoming mob of gangsters, it’s hard to feel like the charismatic Boss if you’re constantly needing to duck.

Instead, the game has a very active system- You move at a fairly quick pace, and you have a meter that fills up over time. Once it’s full, you can perform an execution, regaining health for your character a la Doom’s Glory Kills. I really like this playstyle because it makes the more aggressive weapons fun to use. While some might enjoy hugging a cinderblock and shooting their pistol, my Boss is a maniac with a sawed off shotgun and a hand cannon colored like a Nerf Gun, running towards you with the spirit of Mick Gordon in his veins.
That’s not to say you can’t still play by cover rules- you totally can totally do so. But those of us avowed to Rip and Tear, Until It Is Done no longer need to feel chained down by such concepts as cover, and that’s a great feeling as you do things like a psycho crusher into an enemy gangbanger.
This aggression extends to the driving too, which seems to have borrowed from the Burnout series’ brand of four-wheeled fantasy. You can slam into enemies with a dedicated shunt button, doing vicious takedowns when you’re at a high enough speed. In my own adventures, I knocked a cop car off a bridge into a canal, where it proceeded to explode upon hitting the concrete sides. It was lovely, and a much better alternative to awkwardly trying to do drive-bys while still maintaining top speeds.
Once again, the old ways are still there, though. But the idea that those of us gun toting maniacs are just as validated as the more patient methodical bosses is a great way to make people feel like they’re playing the game their way. Since freedom is a huge part of open world games, it’s interesting to see Saints Row 2022 expand that to the gun and car combat, too.
Roots In The Past
Sadly, for as much as Saints Row 2022 does to feel new, there are some moments that feel weirdly dated, especially when it comes to level design. The game’s missions have a weird reliance on Turret Sections and Escort objectives, with literally the first story mission needing you to escort an armored truck before climbing up on its back to man the turret.
On one hand, I feel like games have been free from the scourge of mandatory turret sections for so long that it’s not really offensive to have them in your game anymore. On the other, I feel like the fact they’re not as mainstream as they used to be is explicitly because they were inherently bad- in any game emphasizing freedom, being locked in place to fire on rails just feels boring.
Still, the actual duration of these segments helps mitigate any awful trauma from them. Every time a turret section does show up, it never really outstays its welcome- The Boss is just as quickly out of the turret as they got into it, before they have to head to the next mission objective like blowing up a truck or whatever.

There’s also the case for the game’s side objectives, which are a genuine delight. From the preview period, it seems like all the game’s “Side hustles” are all really well designed, with just enough going on with them that you’d almost think they were main missions. I’m especially a fan of the Hitman missions, where you just have to go kill key targets. These are never as easy as they seem, and by the second one I was engaged in a Monster Truck Death Battle against a member of the Panteros after steamrolling the rest of her crew.
An Exciting First Showing

All in all, it very much feels like fun was the driving idea behind Saints Row. It’s got a great world going for it, full of interesting things to do whether you’re a motorhead, an apostle of violence or even just a tired millennial looking for some escapism.
That mishmash of themes is definitely why I’m super stoked for Saints Row: on one hand, it’s got one of the most charming casts of characters I’ve seen in a while that remind me of my own friend groups, and on the other being an absolute menace as I drive around in a stolen Panteros muscle car reminds me that for as long as I’m in a video game, I can commit all the mass destruction I want.
Saints Row releases on 23rd August 2022, and you should absolutely check this out if you’ve any love for the millennial power fantasy of actually blowing up the world when you find out you’re broke. At best, it’ll be a deeply resonant game that could very well consume the months left in the year as you sniff out every side quest and build a fleet of customizable cars fit for the king of Santo Ileso, and at worst it’ll be really good therapy for you.

Access provided by Koch Media, EGI and Ripples Asia.

It’s a rapid fire weapon that is most effective on mecha, dealing reduced damage to pilots. The trajectory of this weapon is harder to control due to its high rate of fire, so be careful.

Titled Tokimeki wa, Sugu Soba ni (What Makes Your Heart Thrill is Right Nearby), the ad features noteworthy industry names.

With the theme of “the precious meetings and joys that exist in your everyday life”, the commercial is set around a 7-Eleven convenience store that serves as bridge which brings people together. 7-Eleven Japan has certainly set the bar for other branches around the world, both in terms of the quality of their convenience stores as well as their commercials.

Interview with Chris, Head of Esports and Marc, Head of Marketing from the SEA, Hong Kong and Taiwan Department!

During yesterday’s media gathering in Singapore, we had the chance to interview the two key people who will determine our region’s growth for League of Legends in the region of Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Here’s the two personnel who we will be talking to today!

Chris Tran – Head of Esports for SEA, HK and TW
Marc Johns – Head of Marketing for SEA, HK and TW

At first, we discussed their approach for their latest plan on an animated series, Arcane. The direction for the trailer was very interesting, in that we get to see different aspects of world building and the characters that are teased. So we come to an expectation of the series being in Netflix or any related platform to be viewed like Crunchyroll. They said that their priority for now is to finish other products. As of where will be series be aired/streamed, this we will have to wait for their updates on their social media.

With that, we briefly discussed the lore of the animation and a brief explanation was given to understand the whole reason of the project. They mentioned that it is very important to share their original IP towards players and fans especially in terms of the character’s lore. So, they decided to do a creative approach, namely building an entire different entertainment media for their consumers outside the game. Riot partnered up with Fortiche to create the amazing trailer that we got from the livestream and the Jinx MV. This creates a chance for Riot to have a good relationship with a company that can ensure quality.

Putting the animated series aside, we start discussing the League of Legends scene in the regions that they cover. They mentioned that the key for all of their success is the huge community that is backing them in their game and events. Looking in the near future, they will be looking into maintaining the IP for a long run for each generation to enjoy. As for their events, they will be looking forward into plans to push more community-based events.
Coming to the main topic of League of Legends Wild Rift. There wasn’t a lot of information that was given but we did get some insights on how are they planning to push the game. They trust that for those who love their IP or core gameplay would definitely play the game. The core design for the overall gameplay would be designed based of the information they get from their database.

There are many competitors within the mobile market for MOBA games within the Southeast Asia region. Wild Rift will be entering the same market at a later stage. Mark ensures that they will take an interesting and meaningful approach to make sure that the engagements and the community responsiveness as well as the feedback loop be their main priority to push Wild Rift to the top of the market. With Wild Rift being a mobile and console exclusive, the port for a Nintendo Switch version cannot be confirmed.
With that said, the time was up and we concluded the interview. They are pretty nice and we wish we had more time to talk to them! Let’s for now enjoy the moments that Riot have given us for League of Legends!

The page for Monster Hunter Stories 2 say that the game will run at 1080p with 30fps, meaning you won’t notice too much of a graphical boost compared to the Nintendo Switch version of the game. That being said, the game is apparently optimized for lower end computers, having low RAM and GPU requirements that even mid-tier machines from 5 years ago should be able to run.
That being said, the relatively low load makes sense considering the game’s genre. Unlike previous Monster Hunter PC title Iceborne, Stories has a much more simplified art style, and doesn’t contain the large sprawling maps with everything happening at once.

Developed by fan Jan and featuring art by Neko TJ, they’ve confirmed the game will feature an 8-character roster, as well as rollback netcode.
Here’s the currently announced roster for the game, with 4 more characters available at launch:

Inugami Korone
Shirakami Fubuki
Nakiri Ayame
Tokino Sora

From the trailer it looks like the game’s got a pretty diverse roster for 2d anime fighter fans- Fubuki has an install with projectiles, Sora appears to have setplay options and the ability to tag in A-Chan (A producer at COVER), while Ayame and Korone appear to be different flavors of rushdown characters.
The trailer says to stay tuned for additional information, where we can likely expect a more in-depth peek at the mechanics of this fangame.
This wouldn’t even be the first time a fan has made a fun, mechanically intensive fangame- last year saw the release of HoloCure, a Vampire Survivors clone that got so popular various Hololive talents regularly stream it whenever there’s a new update.
