Everyone has a fighting chance
Written like an old fashioned pulp-fiction matinee, feeling every bit an Indiana Jones movie with visual immersion as detailed as an AAA MMORPG – Rebellion development team’s newest title Strange Brigade launches this week with rip-roaring stories, animation, puzzles and gunfire all in the picturesque albeit zombie-ridden setting of 1930’s Egypt. How did this all come to be, what is a strange brigade and why are they here?
An MMORPG that is fairly similar in form to other games of its type where you are a survivor, fighting against animals, monsters, and other players, does it have what it takes to stand up against a game like Destiny or other MMO type games? This is our first impressions of Will to Live Online.
When I first saw the announcement of Marvel Battle Lines I found myself conflicted. I was excited for the possibility of a sort of Marvel answer to Hearthstone, but cautious of Nexon’s involvement for fear of heavy-handed P2W elements. Alas, Marvel Hearthstone isn’t what we got. Instead, Marvel Battle Lines is closer to enhanced tic-tac-toe.
Perfect World Entertainment and Echtra Games have great news for ARPG fans: A NEW Torchlight game is in the works! Called Torchlight Frontiers, the game is being developed by Max Shaefer, one of the co-founders of Runic Games, the original developers of the Torchlight series. Torchlight Frontiers is a “shared-world action- RPG” that brings back signature features and mechanics from the beloved series. Pop through the jump to read the full press announcement and to see the new trailer!.
Information is somewhat scarce right now for the new season of Tekken 7 — we know who some of the new incoming characters are, and we have an idea of some of the new mechanics in store for the series, but specifics on how exactly this new content works has yet to be revealed.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t anything to talk about, though: for Anna and Lei fans around the world, their reveal trailers showed off an assortment of new and interesting moves.
mastermind broke down both trailers recently to comb over what we already know about the veteran Tekken fighters. Helpfully, he also compares variations to previous games, so we can see exactly how some combos have changed. Anna appears to have new cancels into her Chaos Judgement stance, a high knockdown power crush, and a high Rage Art — considering high rage arts and power crushes are typically safe on block, this is great news for people that love their panic buttons.
And speaking of “Rage”, Lei Wulong appears set to change the way we think about Rage Drives. If the trailer is to be taken at face value, Lei may launch into Tekken 7 with a unique Rage Drive from every stance. Regardless of how it’s activated or input, battling a Lei in Rage will be, if nothing else, a very different experience from anyone else.
