Sounds familiar? That’s because there’s another game called Monster Hunter World, the original IP by Capcom. The game is pretty similar but instead, the story takes place in another world with different kinds of monsters. Most importantly, it’s free-to-play on PC! They also include live service expansions and endgame activities that will bring more life to the world through regular content updates, events and more.

There is an in-game store which provides players with cosmetics and vanity items for the characters. Phoenix Labs had also ensured us that there will be no paywalls or pay-to-win mechanics in the game. With the game coming worldwide, there will be dedicated servers across the world specifically in Brazil, India, Singapore, Japan and Taiwan. For more info, you can check out their official site and sign up for the Open Beta test!

Razer Nommo Pro and Nommo Chroma Review – Big Blast Sonic, That’s My Heartbeat Anew

Sound is one of the most important parts of a gaming experience, and Razer gets that. While some people may opt for high quality earphones, some of us would rather a glorious sound system instead, letting the entire house know we suck at Guilty Gear with righteous pride.

To that end, Razer has given us the chance to check out two of their top-of-the-line speakers- the Razer Nommo Pro, with its heavy artillery sound system and the Nommo Chroma, its more PC-oriented speakers. How do these stack up? Read on and find ou.

Razer Nommo Pro

The Razer Nommo Pro is, let’s face it, a home entertainment system. Sporting more elaborate speakers as well as a *massive* subwoofer, the Razer Nommo Pro is absolutely not meant to be used at point-blank. Heck, sometimes I’m struggling to think what distance you *should* use it at. For context, I live in a pretty decently sized apartment, and at about 20% of its volume you could feel the bass even from the opposite end of my apartment.

If you don’t mind the likelihood of noise comlplaints though, it’s a total luxury- music sounds great on the Nommo Pro, as the powerful 3-inch drivers and massive subwoofer give you an experience fit for a king.

It comes prepared, too- the Razer Nommo Pro includes multiple cables for different uses, such as a USB cable for things like your consoles, as well as 3.5mm jack for your phone or iPod and even an optical cable for if you really wanna get fancy with it.

Still, there’s a lot of evidence that the Nommo Pro belongs moreso as part of your entertainment than at your work desk. For one, you can use it with the Nommo Pro app, which lets you control the speakers using your phone. At first I thought this was just a tool for providing the backtrack to your Shower solo, but it’s usable even when plugged into consoles like the PS5. Considering how in a typical entertainment system, you’d have to walk up to the control module to turn it down, with the app you can just do it straight from your phone.

It’s a good thing they let you control it from your phone, too- the control module itself is unwieldy, using a rotary control where you twist the module to set the volume. If you’re currently having your eardrums blasted out by a max volume rendition of Disaster of Passion, you really want something you can use to control the volume more effectively.
That being said, you can also plug it in to your laptop, where it uses the Razer Synapse app to allow you to sync the RGB lights, as well as adjust the equalizers for the volume.
Gaming

On the gaming end, the Razer Nommo Pro really benefits cinematic games, with lots of environmental sounds. We tried Red Dead Redemption 2 with the speakers, and the sounds of the American Frontier were absolutely divine, as you hear all the small sounds of Rockstar’s intricately designed open world against its great soundtrack.
That being said, it only really works with games expecting you to listen to it this way. Games without dynamic audio tracks, such as Guilty Gear Strive, can sound weirdly shallow, since they’re not designed to make use of the speaker array provided by the Razer Nommo Pro.

If you’re a PC gamer playing on a big TV or a console gamer with a set that looks more like the Royal Treasury, the Nommo Pro is the perfect addition to it- just make sure to adjust your settings if you’re playing at night for fear o having your killstreak ruined by a security guard come to tell you about noise complaints.
Razer Nommo Chroma

While the Nommo Pro was more of a home entertainment system, the Nommo Chroma is way more suited to a bedroom or study- it sports 3″ drivers just like the Nommo Pro, though with rear-facing Bass speakers instead of a giant monolith like the Pro, or in 2001: A Space Oddyssey. As a result the bass is much easier to control, being less likely to hurt your downstairs neighbors chandelier.

In fact, this is a lot of the Nommo Chroma in microcosm- everything about it is a simpler, more plug-and-play version of the Nommo Pro. Plugging it in is way less complicated, needing only you to plug the speakers into each other, before plugging in the USB to your laptop. Similarly, it doesn’t have the control terminal that the Nommo Pro does- you can control both the volume and the bass through knobs on the right speaker.
It also doesn’t forcefully try to install Razer Synapse the moment it comes into contact with your laptop- functioning as-is, getting straight into listening to covers of your favorite anime openings while you work.
Also unlike the Pro, it also loses out a lot in functionality. It has no Bluetooth options, only having the USB and 3.5mm jack to plug in the speakers. Sadly this does disqualify the Razer Nommo Chroma from the shower support apparatus, but it’s a great set of no-nonsense speakers, with pretty RGB lighting thrown in to boot.
Performance
Despite not having the Tower of Orthanc, the Raze Nommo Chroma gives surprisingly good sound quality, especially if you’re just listening to it on your desk. Live performances sound especially great, since you really get that feeling of 3-dimensional space. What I’m trying to say is, this might be the best set of speakers to listen to a Rick Astley concert recorded on someone’s iPhone.
If you just want good, clear speakers, the Nommo Chroma will suit you well
On the gaming front, I’d argue the Nommo Chroma is just as good as the Nommo Pro for most standard gaming experiences. If you’re playing more standard games like Apex Legends or Guilty Gear, there’s almost no difference between the Chroma’s sound quality and the Pro, since they use similar sized drivers.
That being said, it does lose out if you’re the type to enjoy more cinematic experiences- the Nommo Chroma, while a great pair of laptop speakers, are just that- laptop speakers. So if you’re looking for a super high-definition sound for your games-as-art experience you might want to consider getting the Nommo Pro.
Closing Thoughts

Overall, the Razer Nommo Pro is the height of audio luxury, but it really is just that- a luxury item. Outside of an elaborate home theatre system, its own size becomes its undoing, not so much that it becomes a problem, but moreso that most people won’t see the value in that much luxury. It’s catered to a very specific type of person, and that person is going to have an exquisite time with the Pro- but if you’re just using a normal study maybe you’d want something more elegant.

Meanwhile, the Razer Nommo Chroma is an absolute delight, feeling like its almost punching above its weight class. It’s way more suited to apartment living, but don’t be surprised if it’s not an Audio Nirvana experience in your cinematic games-as-art masterpiece sessions. That being said, it’s definitely an above-average experience for regular gaming and just jamming out at your desk, and I can’t recommend it enough.
The Razer Nommo Pro is available for 599.99 USD (RM 2537), while the Razer Nommo Chroma is available for USD 129.99 (RM550.70) .

Square Enix has just announced via Twitter that release date for The Irregular at Magic High School Reloaded Memory will be pushed back. This free-to-play game for the Android and iOS platforms based on the eponymous series will instead tentatively come out sometime in Winter 2022.

To recap, the story of revolves around Tatsuya Shiba, the main protagonist who acts as a bodyguard to his sister Miyuki Shiba who is a candidate to succeed the leadership of the Yotsuba clan, one of the Ten Master Clans that govern Japan’s magicians. They enroll into First High School which segregates its students based on their magical abilities. Miyuki is enrolled as a first course student and is viewed as one of the best students, while Tatsuya is in the second course and considered to be magically inept. However, Tatsuya’s technical knowledge, combat abilities, and unique magic techniques cause people to view him as an irregular to the school’s standardized rankings. Users will get to control an assortment of the series’ signature characters to engage in real-time magic battles. The selling feature here is the Reloaded Mode, although it is just a fancy way of increasing the combat prowess of the cast for a limited time.  We are also shown a new visual hinting at the Hida Ruins Arc from the main story, and will see the game dig deep into the origins of the Relics.

In any case, pre-registrations for The Irregular at Magic High School Reloaded Memory are still open, so be sure to sign up for the usual early bird rewards and drop by the official site or follow the official Twitter account for more details. Let us hope it sticks to its release date this time around.

Magic: The Gathering Announcement Day 2021 Highlights – Crossovers, Halloween and A Celebration Of 30 Years of MtG

Magic The Gathering held their Announcement Day 2021 livestream on Twitch today, bringing with them a whole host of collaborations with big brands like Street Fighter, Fortnite and Warhammer 40K.

From the worlds of Middle Earth to Innistrad, there’s something for every fan of Magic: The Gathering. Read on for all the big releases you can look forward to, including some nice throwbacks for Magic’s 30th anniversary.

Magic: The Gathering Secret Lair
For the uninitiated, Magic: The Gathering Secret Lair is the brand’s limited run series of exclusive cards. Once a card appears here, it does so for a limited time, before vanishing into the ether, gone forever.
The best thing about these is that Secret Lair cards don’t have to be strictly MtG creatures, with the potential for both guest artists and characters in the Secret Lair brand.

That being said, they announced two big brands would be coming to the Secret Lair collection, being Street Fighter and Fortnite.
Image: Magic The Gathering Artist: Martina Fačková
The Street Fighter collab brings with it a special Chun Li card, which will have the laughably appropriate Multikicker ability, letting you cast the card’s ability as often as you can afford to.
Meanwhile, we don’t know as much about the Fortnite Secret Lair drop, but Magic: The Gathering have confirmed that we’ll be getting two of the drops, with a sneak-peek at the first one.
Artist: Caroline Gariba
Out Of Time

Of course, it’s not all just big-brand names getting in on the Secret Lair drops. There’s also the Out Of Time drops, featuring cards with artwork by artists such as Mark Zug, Greg Staples and Adam Rex.

We’re also particularly big fans of these traditionally-styled card arts by Jungshan, which make you desperate to collect a whole set so you can display all this gorgeous artwork next to each other.

Johannes Vos also has his own set of cards as part of the Secret Lair drop, with a refreshing storybook aesthetic to it.

Meanwhile, fans of dark fantasy will want to check out Thomas Baxa’s set, with each of these specially curated cards looking like the perfect addition for anyone whose wardrobe is mostly black. We’re especially big fans of Ob Nigillis Reignited, the special black Planeswalker card of the set.
Image: Magic The Gathering
Alexandre Chaudret also flexes his own fantasy muscles with his set of cards, which almost scream classic Magic with how simple the concepts are. That being said even the humble Thragtusk looks menacing with its twisted background, and of course the Vindictive Lich is nothing short of Chaudret at his best.
Universes Beyond
Earlier in the year, Magic: The Gathering announced their plans for Universes Beyond, letting you use the MtG ruleset with cards from all your favorite series like Lord of the Rings and Warhammer 40K. Today at Magic: The Gathering Announcement Day, they finally showed off some of these cards, such as this absolutely fantastical art of Gandalf the Grey by Dmitry Burmak.
Image: Magic The Gathering
Wizards of the Coast has promised more Lord of the Rings cards are on the way, as part of a special booster set that will be released in 2023.
Image: Magic The Gathering Artist: Fajareka Setiawan
Of course, we also got a peek at two cards from the 41st Milennium That Knows Only War, with some slick art of the Ultramarines, including the epic art of some Vanguard Supressors carrying out the Emperor’s Will. This was done by Indonesian Warhammer artist Fajareka Setiawan, who’s done work for Warhammer 40K before.
Image: Magic The Gathering
Of course, no Ultramarine set is complete without Marneus Calgar, Chapter Master of the Ultramarines, who gets his own card illustrated by Slawomir Maniak.
The Warhammer 40K expansion of Universes Beyond is due out in Q3 of 2022, so it won’t be long before you can start playing your Space Marines in Magic: The Gathering.
Magic: The Gathering 2022 Releases
Of course, it wasn’t all party buses and crossovers. Wizards of the Coast also announced the premiere set releases for Magic: The Gathering in 2022, with four major sets to look out for next year.
Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty (Q1 2022)
Image: Magic The Gathering
Image: Magic The Gathering
This set takes place in a futuristic version of the Kamigawa plane in Magic: The Gathering. It’s got everything cyberpunk fans could love in the genre, with slick neon visuals.
Streets of New Capenna (Q2 2022)
Image: Magic The Gathering
Image: Magic The Gathering
This expansion puts you in the gritty world of New Capenna, where you’ll play as one of five crime families vying for control. Of course, it wouldn’t be Magic: The Gathering without a fantasy bend, as angels, demons and more get involved.
Dominaria United (Q3 2022)
Image: Magic The Gathering
Image: Magic The Gathering
With 2022 marking Magic: The Gathering’s 30th anniversary, the back half of the year is loaded with a trip to Magic’s past, starting with a return to Dominaria. We don’t have much in the way of information for Dominaria United, but it’s always welcome to come back to the place where it all started.
The Brother’s War (Q4 2022)
Image: Magic The Gathering
Image: Magic The Gathering
Image: Magic The Gathering
Of course, you couldn’t celebrate Magic’s 30th anniversary without also talking about the Brother’s War. Again, details are scarce, but this acts as a great way to celebrate the anniversary of one of the most iconic card games of all time.
Getting Spooky In Innistrad
Wizards of the Coast have also announced a return to Innistrad, as part of some spooky fall releases, with Werewolves and Vampires to mark the spooky time of year.
Innistrad: Midnight Hunt (September)
Image: Magic The Gathering
This set brings Werewolves back into the spotlight, as you become what you fear and ward off the darkness for the Harvesttide Festival.
Innistrad: Crimson Vow (November)
Image: Magic The Gathering
Image: Magic The Gathering
Of course, you can’t have werewolves without vampires- and the Crimson Vow will take you right into the heart of a Vampire wedding, with all the extravagance and decadence associated with everyone’s favorite creatures of the night. Here, you’ll also meet Olivia Voldaren, last seen durin Shadows over Innistrad
Innistrad Double Feature (Early 2022)
Image: Magic The Gathering
Exclusive to the Wizards Play Network, you’ll be able to buy a sealed draft of the Innistrad Double Feature, which includes both the Midnight Hunt and Crimson Vow sets. This means that rather than only playing your sealed draft games with either set, you can play one whole Innistrad-themed game, with vampires and werewolves galore for each player.
Magic The Gathering Netflix Series (2022)
Before the show ended, they gave us a first look at the Magic: The Gathering Netflix Series, coming some time in 2022. Details are really scarce- the main character will be Gideon Jura , voiced by Superman Returns star Brandon Routh, as well as a glimpse at the 3d model.

As well as a sneak peak at the 3D Gideon character model. pic.twitter.com/pn6hTpPhfR

With all these announcements from Magic: The Gathering Announcement Day, there’s a lot to look forward to whether you’re fan of brand collaborations, the worlds of Magic or even just here to celebrate its 30th anniversary.

Unfortunately, the game will be a separate build to the console version- you won’t be able to carry progress or even cross-play between versions.
The PC build will instead start at v 0.166, which also featured the Atlas Gundam from Gundam Thunderbolt.

Gundam Battle Operation 2 is a free to play squad-based shooter, where you control various mobile suits from the Universal Century timeline.
It sports a wide variety of gameplay options, from ground-based missions to even space combat, completing missions like holding objectives.
On top of that players can also exit their mobile suits, as well as hijack other suits if they so desired as well as call in airstrikes.
Gundam Battle Operation was previously described as one of the main esports titles by Bandai Namco Entertainment, alongside Gundam Evolution as part of their Gundam Metaverse Project.
Putting the game on PC would be a way to access more players, since the main build is PS4 and PS5 exclusive, limiting its playerbase.

Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation 2Publisher: Bandai Namco EntertainmentDeveloper: Bandai Namco EntertainmentRelease Date: 2018-10-18PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5
Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation 2 is an online free-to-play action game released exclusively for the Playstation 4 via the Playstation Store in July of 2018.

Unlike Gundam Battle Operation NEXT, the first spinoff to the original Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation, Battle Operation 2 is closer to a true sequel that keeps and expands upon the gameplay mechanics of the original title, and completely abandons the fast-paced, arcade-styled elements of NEXT.

The game was initially only released in Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. An English language option was added on October 24, 2018. The game was released to western territories, Including North America and several European countries in October of 2019.

Even if you’re not up to going for a hot bath, the Raku Spa has various Attack On Titan themed merchandise that you can purchase. This includes face towels, as well as merch any fan should be familiar with like posters and acrylic stands.
If there were, say, some sort of raging pandemic preventing you from going to Raku Spa, they also have various wares available via their online store as well. You can get a special indoor wear covered in an exclusive Survey Corps print, as well as a tapestry of the four main characters hanging out after a bath.
The Attack On Titan Raku Spa Collaboration coincides with the debut of Attack On Titan’s final season, which is available to stream on Netflix right now. All the character’s designs for this collab even feature their post-timeskip designs, which is a bit odd for anyone who knows the context of the final season.

Acer Predator Triton 900 review: The RM15,999 Beast

This time we review the Acer Predator Triton 900, a quite impressive piece of gaming laptop tech with a price to match. This Acer laptop, as you might guess from the name, does take some inspiration from the Acer Predator Helios 700. Its price might be exorbitant, but it certainly does have the power to justify the asking price! It has an adjustable 4K screen, 9th-gen Core i9 processor and NVIDIA RTX 2080. Without further ado, let’s see what this RM15,999 machine can do.

What differentiates the Acer Predator Tritono 900 from other gaming laptops is its Ezel Aero Hinge. This allows the user to spin the screen and move it around to various positions that cannot be done by typical laptops. This flexibility allows the screen to be moved closer to your face, spin it 180 degrees to make it face the other way, or to flatten it like a tablet. If you’d like the classic “clamshell” look, that won’t be a problem either. The Triton 900’s metal chassis has quite the premium design, which is surprisingly thin at 23.8mm.

Considering the cooling system takes up the bulk of the Triton 900’s body, the keyboard isn’t given much space. Users will have a lack of space to rest their hands, and can be a sore point, since both typing and gaming aren’t likely to be very comfortable.

Five macro keys are on the keyboard. The middle three can be customized, while the “P” key on the left most side allows users to choose among three different macro programs as you see fit. The Turbo key on the right most side will get the fans whirring for even better cooling.
Connectivity wise, the Acer Predator Triton 900 is full of ports. The left has two USB Type-A 3.1 ports, one slightly hidden as a pop-out design, and 3.5mm jacks for headset and microphone. The right has a Kensington lock slot, two USB Type-C 3.1 Gen 2 (Thunderbolt 3, DisplayPort) ports, one USB-A 3.1 and Gigabit Ethernet.

Behind that is a DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.0 besides the port for the adaptor. The adaptor has quite the heft to it, bringing the overall weight of the setup to a whopping 4.5kg. The Triton 900 is designed to be a desktop replacement, so it’s certainly more likely to spend its time on a desk full time than taken outside.
The Acer Predator Triton 900 is probably one of the best machines you can get carrying the 9th-gen Core i9 processor and RTX 2080. Besides that, you’ll also be getting 32GB RAM DDR4 and two 512GB RAID0 SSDs to ensure a fast read on your games and plenty of space for videos, images and so forth. Below is the list of the full specifications:

Price
RM15,999

Display size/resolution
17.3-inch 3,840 x 2,160 touchscreen

PC CPU
Intel Core i7-9750H

PC Memory
32GB 2,666Hz DDR4

Graphics
Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 (overclockable)

Storage
1TB SSD

Port
2 x USB-C (1 x Thunderbolt 3), 2 x USB-A 3.1, 1 x HDMI 2.0, a USB 2.0, 1 x DisplayPort 1.4, 1 x Xbox wireless dongle connector

Networking
Killer DoubleShot Pro 2.5Gbps Ethernet and WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.0

Operating system
Microsoft Windows Home (64-bit)

Weight
4.1kg

The RTX 2080 GPU allows users to play AAA games at a comfortable frame rate when the resolution is raised to 3840 x 2160. With ray-tracing support, those games are going to look one hell of a pretty, for users to eat that eye candy.
The Acer Predator Triton 900 is a gaming laptop capable of overclocking. It’s easy to do using Predator Sense. Through the program, you can also change the RGB lights, your macro keys and pick from three overclocking mods on the Triton 900: Normal, Fast, Extreme. Heating is hardly an issue when it has an incredible cooling system.
The fans of the Triton 900 sucks air from the outside through three holes, channeling that air into the heatpipes to ensure always-cool CPU and GPU. The hot air is expelled through four different holes: two on the back, and one on each side.

Moving on to the screen; you have a 4K Ultra HD LCD 17.3-inch screen with IPS technology for those details and many great viewing angles. The colour coverage is great too, for that immersive gaming experience. The screen is definitely one of the best you can get in a gaming laptop, where most manufacturers tend to cut in this department to lower costs. Colours are sharp and vivid here, compared to a Full HD panel.
It is, then, unfortunate that the Triton 900’s screen can only achieve 60Hz, so frames are capped at 60fps. Screens with over 60Hz refresh rates have smoother visuals, which is especially important for say, competitive FPS players. Besides that, the Triton 900 also has an incredibly short battery life, merely 1h 41 minutes when run with PCMark 8.
The Acer Predator Triton 900 is mostly recommended only if you really have the money to spare, and you’re willing to sacrifice the screen refresh rate for an admittedly great 4K screen. At this point though, you might also want to consider building your own PC or buying a gaming laptop that better suits your needs. If you’re still interested in obtaining the Predator Triton 900, you can check out the official Acer website for details.

Deku appears as a mass murderer in My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission

My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission, the upcoming film in the anime series accuses Deku of being a mass murderer in its trailer. You can watch the 30-second trailer here:

The short news segment reveals the protagonist of My Hero Academia as a wanted criminal. Unless Deku is wanted for being a mass murderer of villains (which is also rather unlikely), the hero will likely try to clear his name in the new movie.

Mass murder aside, My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission centres around a new terrorist organisation called Humarise. With the belief that quirks will ultimately result in the apocalypse, the terrorists planted bombs around the world. These bombs will cause a person’s quirk to lose control, resulting in catastrophic consequences. Thus, Deku, Bakugo and Todoroki will need to help the Pro-Heroes on a worldwide mission to stop Humarise’s plan from succeeding.
In the trailer and the key visual of the film, the three heroes can be seen donning new black attire.

Shadowverse Kaguya-Sama Collaboration Announced

Cygames’ Shadowverse has announced a collaboration with Kaguya-Sama, adding several new leaders to the game based on the quirky rom-com.

The collaboration starts March 30th, and will feature up to three new Leaders for the game. The first of these leaders, Kaguya Shinomiya, has already been announced.

Given that the game has parity between its Japanese and English versions, both versions of Shadowverse will get access to the Kaguya-Sama collaboration, although it looks like the voices will only be in Japanese.
Leader Kaguya Shinomiya is a Swordscraft-type leader, though we don’t know much about how she’ll play in the game. She features fully voiced lines by her CV Koga Aoi, as well as an animated portrait that changes expressions as the game goes on. She even has unique voicelines for greeting the opponent, such as a formal “how do you do”.

If the anime’s marketing is anything to go by, it’s a safe bet to assume the other two leaders are fellow protagonist Miyuki Shirogane, as well as student council secretary Chika Fujiwara. Alternatively, if the marketing was more geared around promoting the anime’s second season, it’s not out of the question that they might replace Miyuki with one of the main girls like season-newcomer Iino Miko or underdog favorite Hayasaka.
The Kaguya-Sama series has been on a roll, having a widely popular second season, announcing its third season at a special soundtrack orchestra as well as having recently started its English dub. Collaborating with a game like Shadowverse is particularly unique, considering the manga itself is just about two highschoolers trying to get the other to confess first.

Nickelodeon All Star Brawl Gameplay Shows It’s Way More Than A Smash Clone

New gameplay for Nickelodeon All Star Brawl has shown that the game’s got legs, with a deep combat system that’s not content to just ape the popular Smash Bros series.

In a new gameplay breakdown posted by IGN, Ludosity’s Thaddeus Crews broke down the basic system mechanics for Nickelodeon All Star Brawl, explaining all the different decisions you’d have to make interacting with other players in a match.

Related Posts

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

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

The Similarities
Of course at its core, Nickelodeon All Star Brawl shares a lot with the premier platform fighter. Instead of health characters have percentages, which dictate how far they’ll fly on hit. Unlike Playstation All Star Battle Royale, this means points will be scored entirely by ring-out, with no option to kill them via regular damage.
The game also won’t be using motion inputs, instead using tilt inputs. (meaning forward+punch, or down + punch, instead of down-forward-punch). One exception that we know of right now is Patrick from Spongebob Squarepants, who will have a special 360 input for his command grab as confirmed by the developers on their Discord channel. It will still have a tilt-input function, but doing the full motion will grant him armor on startup.
Follow us on Twitter

and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

The final similarity is in the ruleset itself, with players being given multiple “stocks” per match. Considering how easy it is to accidentally fall, it makes sense that you wouldn’t want it to be over in one.
Thinking About Your Offense
However, that was pretty much where the similarities end. As Thaddeus Crews explained, the biggest difference is in the buttons. Unlike Smash, Nickelodeon All Star Brawl will have three attack buttons, consisting of a light, strong and special attack buttons. These will have up, down and middle tilts, with interesting interactions between them for Strong Attacks.

According to Crews, Down attacks will beat mid attacks, staggering the player who loses the interaction. Similarly, mid attacks can beat up attacks, turning the player around. Up attacks will beat down attacks, causing a spin out, which behaves like a much longer stagger. This rock-paper-scissors approach means it’s no longer about who has the faster strong attacks anymore, and players will want to be making more informed decisions if they wanna win the interactions.
Characters will also have dash attacks, being able to do a dashing light or dashing heavy attack. One great reason to do these, though- they’re cancellable into any move, making them great for starting off your offense.

Grabs function largely the same way that they do in Smash, with an exception- projectiles can be grabbed out of the air now, hurling them back at your opponent. You’ll want to do these if your opponent tries to zone you out, so it’ll be good to practice the timing on them. You’ll also have air throws, so once again it’ll really boil down to your moment-to-moment decision making since any interaction with your opponent has the potential to cost you your turn on offense.
Speaking of, you can also reflect projectiles back, with the potency of the projectile increasing with every reflection.
Be Just Or Be Dead

Nickelodeon All Star Brawl is also going to feature more robust defensive actions, by adding indefinite blocking. Unlike Smash where you have a bubble that shrinks after every hit, All Star Brawl lets you hold down the block button for as long as you want, but at a cost- each hit knocks you back, so holding the button for too long can send you over the edge eventually.
There’s two tools you can use to better your defense here, however- the first is timing your block. You get a flash when you do, reducing knockback from blocking. You can also do a directional input as you block, and if it matches your opponent’s input (plus the timing), you get a Perfect Block. Here you won’t be pushed back, and will recover faster from the blockstun to let you start up your offense again.
Strafing
Like any platform fighter, you can turn your character around to face either direction. However, Crews revealed that the game will have an additional feature- to lock your character’s facing direction by holding down a button. This will make it so characters will run backwards instead of running away, letting them do moves while putting distance between them and other players.
Aerial Mobility
Possibly the most anticipated feature in the game, All Star Brawl will let you dash through the air with 8-directional airdashes. These have no invulnerability, but the downwards dashes are much faster and doing them into the ground carries your momentum

This lets you both Wavedash and Waveland,  a high-level technique absolutely adored by the Smash community. These can also be canceled into attacks, so it’s gonna be a big part of the game’s mobility since you’ll move quite a bit faster than you do on the ground, especially if you’re playing heavier characters.
Exciting Times
All in all, it looks like there’s going to be a lot to look forward to with Nickelodeon All Star Brawl. It looks like a game with a relatively low skill floor, meaning it’ll be great for people who just wanna see their favorite Nickelodeon characters. But on top of that, it looks like the team at Ludosity have really put their heart and soul into making a game with deep combat, which only makes me hope we get a scene for the game going even more.

Rollerdrome Review – If A Perfect Videogame Existed, It Might Look Like This

Look, it’s hard to mince words- you’d need a real fine-toothed review comb to find any flaw with Roll7’s skate shooter, Rollerdrome. I’ve gushed about it at length during the game’s final preview, but spending more time with the finished product reveals a game that’s shed all extraneous elements to make room for focusing on what it does best- extremely fast-paced action.

Part Tony Hawk, part third-person shooter and with a tiny sprinkle of Judge Dredd thrown in, Rollerdrome is a game that appeals to a very specific gameplay palette. But the game’s own unique beliefs on difficulty and challenge mix it into a game that really is for anyone, as long as you’re able to decide what’s ‘difficulty’ and what’s ‘annoyance’.

How exactly does Rollerdrome get away with being one of 2022’s best titles? Read on and find out.

Rollerdrome is very much a flow-state kind of game. You want to be in that mental state where such trivial things like taxes and choking to death in your apartment alone don’t exist, and all your extra brainpower is used for simply deciding what to do in Rollerdrome’s expansive arenas.
The experience feels very much laser-focused in making sure there’s always an action you can think in every situation. At any point you can either launch yourself into a jump to do a quick trick for some ammo, ride a surface, grind or commit notorious gun violence on the game’s House Player enemies. The game’s Reflex Mode even throws you into bullet time, letting you line up your shots better or simply take stock of just how many missiles are on your tail before you dodge, and the Super Reflex Mode lets you get into even more

I mean, in my last session I’d accidentally shot one of the mines set by the enemy with a grenade launcher instead of my pistol like I usually do, and realized that I’d discovered how to rocket jump in the game. These kind of discoveries feel great to do, especially since now the main thought on my mind is what can I leverage with all the extra airtime.
It does help that the game throws quite a bit of managing to pull you along too- you’ll obviously want to look for more avenues to do tricks since it keeps your ammo up, and learn to kill faster since it keeps your combo multiplier going.

The great combat even carries over into the game’s bossfights- Rollerdrome’s bosses stay exactly as long as they need to, instead being a test of how well you can manage a barrage of attacks before doing the usual “hit the weakpoint to win” formula.
Ordinarily I’m not a fan of the invulnerable phases, but it’s the fact that Rollerdrome is so much more about dealing with problems than actually killing that makes it feel so much fun. That, and the fact that the boss is literally the love child of a Tachikoma and a skate park, being covered in ramps and a quarter pipe.
Empathetic Design

One flaw you could pull for Rollerdrome might be its difficulty. After all, the game has a high skill ask of you as  you manage all the stuff being thrown your way. That being said, the game sports an Assist Mode- customizable difficulty options, letting you go so far as to turn off damage, ammo and even the game’s challenge-based progression system.
It’s a really nice thing to do because the game is meant to be challenging, not impossible. By letting you set the terms of your game’s difficulty and not calling it anything demeaning like baby mode, you let people play at their preferred challenge level.
If you want it harder, the game has tools for that, too. Beating the campaign unlocks Out For Blood mode, which dramatically ramps up the difficulty even harder than it already goes in the game’s back half.

That Dystopian Sci Fi You Love To Dread
On top of that, the world of Rollerdrome is actually pretty interesting- if you like your Judge Dredd-style sci-fi, you’re sure to love the story of Kara Hassan, an athlete in a deadly sport owned by a mega corp. I should warn you that this is not a Hunger Games-style story about overthrowing the system- Rollerdrome’s narrative segments are great snapshots of the state of Kara’s world, yes, but your job is to just be an athlete in Rollerdrome, not engage in the external politics of it.

Like I didn’t think I’d be talking about the story this much but there’s a certain charm to a story told like this. The events of the world of Matterhorn are genuinely interesting, and its explicitly the fact that you only learn of it through emails, newspapers and the radio that make the straightforward nature of the game’s plot so hypnotic.
It’s certainly no narrative masterpiece- but it’s well done enough that it does invoke an emotional response. Maybe I’m just overtuned to stories about corporations making things worse, but I definitely enjoyed the future dystopia of bloodsport on skates.
The Satisfaction of A Game Well Done
Rollerdrome is easily one of my top games for 2022, up there with titles I had to review like Elden Ring and OlliOlli World. It’s incredibly focused on the experience it wants to give you, and is very good at stripping away anything unnecessary that might get in the way of that.
On top of that, its difficulty management is a slap in the face for everyone that says you can’t add easy modes to hard games- not only does this incredibly difficult game have an easy mode, it’s an incredibly robust one that asks you what you’re having trouble with and lets you adjust for that, specifically if you want.
Pictured: work emails, come to ruin my weekend
Despite the hours I spent playing rollertouhou with the maelstrom of projectiles chucked my way, it was an utter blast as you do cool maneuvers like shooting rockets out of the air or sniping through two dudes at once.
Admittedly, it’s major flaw would be how drastically it ramps up around halfway through the game- the elite enemies are packing a lot of health, and the rules of the game suddenly go from “kill everyone” to “get everyone to low enough health that you can drive-by them on your next run around”.
But just like everything else in the game, you kind of just adapt to it. Not in the way you’d adapt to a game’s jank controls, but moreso in the sense that you’d feel like you’re actually learning to play the game right. That’s the only thing you’re ever chasing in Rollerdrome- to do better than that punk who was playing before you.
Rollerdrome score

                                        Pros

                                        Cons

                                        Excellent combat

                                        Back half enemies can be frustratingly tanky

                                        Great visuals

                                        Assist mode makes it so difficulty can be set to your preference

Pokemon reveals Grafaifai, A New Monster Based on One of The Strangest of Primates

Pokemon has given us a look at the latest monster being introduced as part of the Gen 9 games Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: Grafaifai.

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

Grafaifai is the ‘toxic monkey’ pokemon. It is a poison/normal type, the first time this type combination has appeared in Pokemon. Its abilities are unburdened and poison touch.

Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Here’s the pokemon’s official description:
“Grafaiai is a moody pokémon with a fastidious disposition. It doesn’t form packs, preferring to roam alone, and it is constantly caught up in territorial struggles with other pokémon. Grafaiai specializes in using its poisonous saliva — which changes color depending on what the pokémon eats — to attack foes by spitting at them or by slashing at them after coating its claws with the saliva.
Grafaiai is nocturnal and once the sun sets it licks its hands and fingers to cover them in poison and uses them to draw patterns on the trees in its territory. The poisonous saliva it uses to paint paralyzes bug pokémon, which are drawn to the saliva’s sweet, fragrant scent.”
Grafaifai is partially based on a stereotypical longer graffiti artist hence its paint-like saliva however it’s also based on one of the strangest primates in the animal kingdom: The Aye-Aye.
Image Source: Smithsonian Magazine
The Aye-Aye is a species of lemur native to Madagascar. Its most notable features are its’ giant yellow eye-eyes, rodent-like buck teeth, and long thin middle fingers on both hands.
These odd-looking creatures also have an interesting way of hunting. It knaws a hole into tree bark with its large incisor teeth, kind of like a beaver, and then inserts its long middle finger into the hole to pull out grubs and other insects.
Grafaifai likewise also has large glowing eyes, buck teeth, and long middle fingers. It even hunts bug pokemon using its long finger the same way the real Aye-Ayes do (minus the paint saliva).
With so many Pokemon released over the series’ history, it’s cool to see the developers using a lesser-known animal as the basis for a new Pokemon. I’d love to see more designs like this in the future. I mean, we’ve got over 20 cat pokemon, so why not one Aye-Aye?

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will launch on Nintendo Switch on November 18th, 2022.

BATON=RELAY to end service in July 2020

In what appears to be the one of the shortest run for a mobile game ever, Japan-based game developer i-tron announced that it will be shutting down its seiyuu breeder game BATON=RELAY on 30 July 2020, after having been released in March 2020.

A recap of the game, even though that seems rather futile at this point in time – BATON=RELAY has you taking on the role of a producer of sorts to direct and manager rookie voice actresses. You will train the aspiring starlets though various lessons including acting, voice training and even physical exercise. The idea is of course to maintain a balanced schedule to ensure that your girl receives the most training without burning out.

Speaking of which, there are a total of 16 voice actresses whom you will be able train, of all of whom are represented as cute superdeformed characters. There is an animation component to the game which is produced by Kabashima Yousuke, Chief Animation Director for Symphogear. Animation work itself has been relegated to Bibury Animation Studio.

Once you think you are ready, you will be able to send your girls to auditions, where they will try their best to become part of the cast. Appeal your strong points at the right moment in order to impress the directors. If you do secure the job, you will be able to partake in voice recording for the show in question. Adding to the lore are behind-the-scenes 4koma that appear in the loading page, so you learn more about the cast in the process.
The developer did not specify why it will be ending the service this soon, since even if it is not making money, games like these usually have a longer lifespan. Since nothing is being disclosed, we can only guess as to why it is meeting its end this quickly.
