Our rating: starstarstarhalfstarblankstar :: STRETCHED OUT SOLVING
This FMV mystery game is bursting of twists and turns, but certain ways they are meted out can make the experiencing all of them a bit tedious.

Bleach: Brave Souls celebrates 75 million downloads with bumper events

Posted by Shaun Walton on May 31st, 2023

Thanks to the revival of the animated Bleach series, Bleach: Brave Souls has been enjoying quite the renaissance, with events and giveaways coming fairly frequently. Now, it is time to celebrate, as Brave Souls has hit 75 million downloads.

That is quite the number, even if it does include repeat downloads, but I doubt anyone is sitting there deleting and redownloading Brave Souls every minute. As a thank you for hitting this milestone, Brave Souls is running so truly generous events.

A lot of video games have introduced players to some genuinely top-quality TCG minigames; Gwent from The Witcher, my personal favourite Triple Triad from Final Fantasy 8, and Genius Invokation from Genshin Impact, who has just announced their first official international tournament series for 2023.

The series, called Astra Carnival: The Prince Cup, will take place in the second half of 2023, welcoming players from across the globe to take part in one of six regional championships, plus some select invitational tournaments, the battle it out for a share of $270,000, which isn’t bad for the inaugural prize.

Posted by Shaun Walton on May 26th, 2023

Tower of Fantasy welcomes their latest simulacrum to the field, and she is one powerful character. The former head of the Listener Project, Dr. Rubilia is swapping research for adventuring and comes with some truly powerful skills.

Rubilia is definitely a character that is worth getting if you can, as her damage output potential is absolutely immense if you gear her right. If you equip two or more volt weapons you will activate her Volt Resonance ability, increasing Volt Attack by 20% and Volt resistance by 40%.

+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad

Red Nexus Games has officially launched its roguelike Pachinko game Peglin on iOS and Android after its massive success on PC during its Early Access phase. With more than 400,000 copies sold, the game offers an addictive pinball-esque experience for mobile gamers combined with RPG elements thrown into the mix.

In Peglin, players will have to strategise which route to take in every run - is it best to collect as many varied orbs as you can, upgrade your existing ones to take advantage of their unique skills, or simply use your coins to replenish your health to boost your survivability? Each level offers new enemies, epic bosses, and surprising twists from treasure chests to random encounters, all presented in charming pixel-art graphics.

Posted by Shaun Walton on May 23rd, 2023

It is time to start expanding your squad, with the Half-elven Warrior Arwen Undómiel joining the fray in The Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middle-Earth. Arriving June 9th, her skills give her the makings of an absolute powerhouse for your support role.

If you know much about the lore, then it’s safe to say Arwen doesn’t see much action in the Tolkien universe, even her big moment in the movie franchise was pinched from another Elf in the books. Luckily, however, this Heroes of Middle-earth Arwen is quite the fighter.

Posted by Campbell Bird on May 18th, 2023

Note: There are also FREE creator skins available if you use the following codes by going to the in-game store and tapping the "Coupon" button:

Since its official release, I've had a hard time putting down *Omega Strikers. I'm still very much as high on it as I was when I posted my glowing review, and now there's even more reason for me to play it. This week the game saw its first significant update, which added new characters, a new map, and some other little tweaks to make this already great game even better.

You can check out footage of my time inspecting and trying out the game's new characters (and going through the shop to purchase all the new skins, emotes, etc.) in the video above, and you can read on for some additional impressions and an overall evaluation of the update.

One of the most popular ARPG series gets new life with Dungeon Hunter returning

Posted by Shaun Walton on May 18th, 2023

Back in 2009, Gameloft created a fairly successful video game franchise called Dungeon Hunter. It mastered the APRG Dungeon Crawler genre and popped out a few sequels that got better and better, but then in 2015 after Dungeon Hunter 5, they stopped, much to the disappointment of fans. Until now.

One big headline of this announcement is that this next instalment won’t be handled by the original developers, instead, it is being passed over to GOAT Games. It is always a bit of a worrying time when the development of a beloved series gets put into the hands of another, of course, they could just as easily ruin the nostalgia as they could take it to higher heights.
