Moonscars Review

Moonscars

Developer: Black Mermaid
Publisher: Humble Games
Platforms: Xbox Series X Xbox OnePlayStation 4PlayStation 5Nintendo SwitchPC (Reviewed)
Release Date: 27 Sep 2022
Price: $19.99 USD – Available Here

Overview

Improvement through repetition. It’s something that’s in common with plenty of video games. You’re stuck on that boss fight or a difficult race that you just can’t get through no matter how many times you try. But every time you fail, you will learn something new. You better memorize the moves of a boss or figure out just when to accelerate or cut a corner to get first to the finish line. That’s the idea behind Moonscars. Memorize the patterns, get better skills, and weapons and you might reach the end eventually.

Story

How do you give the main character droplets of personality and exposition without revealing it all at once? Through good ole trope of memory loss. You play as a clayborne warrior Grey Irma, driven by one purpose: find the Sculptor and unravel the mystery of her existence. Morph yourself into an ultimate warrior through the cycle of trial and triumph. The nonlinear world of Moonscars is left for you to explore. Hidden paths, secrets, upgrades, and so on… They’re all yours for the taking as long as you don’t die too much on your way to them.

Gameplay

As soon as you take control of Grey Irma, you’ll be acquainted with the basic moves and the premise of Moonscars. Attack, heavy build-up attack, dodge and you’re good to go. Soon later the game introduces environmental traps such as spiked walls and pitfalls. Coincidentally or not, at the same time you will encounter a more buffed version of enemies that just happen to be standing next to those traps. See where this is going? There are also special weapons with dedicated negative effects on the enemies. One might inflict bleeding upon them, another one can cause a slowdown, another one comes with a bonus of stunning the enemies, and yeah, you get the picture.

The formula is simple: hit, hit, evade, and then hit some more. The winning recipe for plenty of soulslike games. Make use of spiked walls whenever ever you see them, lure enemies next to them and pulverize them with a well-placed hit & throw combo. Explore every nook and cranny for hidden upgrades, enemies, and experience points. Plan your attacks but at the same time, don’t take too long. Despite their zombie-like state, enemies can be swift and relentless. You can’t hide behind any obstacle, there is only the choice of running away. And remember, dodging and parrying are your friends.

There are some minor nitpicks in terms of an iffy camera because something you have to be really careful and not rush since pitfalls can be clumsily placed and only noticeable until it is too late. Enemies can also unfairly gang up on you and stun you against the wall which I suppose can be another lesson there to tell you not to rush in.

Visuals

One would think that there isn’t much left in your everyday pixelated 2D scroller. Maybe there isn’t in most cases. But Moonscars is the exception to that rule. While the visuals are nothing extraordinary, the smart use of visual effects is what makes this game above average. Throwing enemies at spiked walls and watching them turn onto a mush of bones and fleshy goo never stops being fun. Effects of special weapons are distinct and as much as they can be slow, they are always fun to use (as long as you time it right). The risk is great, but the reward for watching the enemies turn into minced meat from your spinning wheel is even greater.

Audio

The voice work is only present in cutscenes and not much in the regular gameplay. As you talk with regular NPCs you might hear the occasional grunt, some umph here or one arrgh or ugh there but that’s pretty much it. On the other hand, the background sounds as you explore the grim environment of Moonscars. The soundtrack of the game never takes the spotlight, it just cleverly lingers in the background to remind you that you’re not alone or amp up the anxiety while you’re being cornered.

Overall

The core gameplay of Moonscars isn’t something revolutionary by any standards but it does implement all the usual gimmicks of your standard rogue-lite game. It avoids the mistake of being oversaturated with the usual rogue-lite mechanics to the point of having too much of everything in the hope that at least half of it will stick.

Moonscars is a fast-paced game with zero room for forgiveness, but plenty of room for improving your play. The road to the end of the game is anything but easy, yet it never stops being fun. Hit, die, repeat, and eventually, you’ll get there.

0

With immersive picture quality, cinematic surround sound, and a flexible interface, Odyssey Ark is a Personal Gaming Theatre for gamers who don’t play fair.

Samsung’s Odyssey Ark is available for pre-order from 27 September 2022

SYDNEY, Australia – September 27, 2022 – Samsung Electronics Australia has today announced that the Odyssey Ark – the world’s first 55-inch 1000R curved gaming screen – will be available for purchase in Australia from 24 October 2022 (RRP: $4,499). Australian’s eager to secure their new personal gaming theatre can pre-order an Odyssey Ark from today until 23 October 2022, via the Samsung Online Store and Harvey Norman. To take gaming to the next level, every Odyssey Ark monitor purchased during the pre-order period via the Samsung Online Store will receive the award-winning[1] Secretlab TITAN Evo 2022 chair with a limited edition Odyssey Magnetic Head Pillow (valued at $759), as well as a Samsung 980 PRO NVMe SSD1TB (valued at $235)[2].

Adding a new form factor to the industry-leading Odyssey lineup, the Odyssey Ark’s huge display delivers a 165Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time (GtG[3]), plus an all new rotating Cockpit Mode and an exclusive controller, the Ark Dial – offering a riveting window into the world of gaming with impressive immersion.

The Odyssey Ark is the ultimate Samsung entertainment screen, equipped with all the necessary features to deliver premium gaming, entertainment and lifestyle experiences. A simple Wi-Fi connection transforms the Odyssey Ark into a Smart TV, giving access to popular streaming apps and free live content with no downloads or sign-ups made possible by Samsung TV Plus[4].

“We are excited to bring this unique screen to our shores to give local gamers access to a new standard of immersive gaming and a winning edge every time they play,” said Phil Gaut, Senior Director – Display & Brand Memory, Samsung Australia. “The Odyssey Ark brings together cinematic picture quality, immersive surround sound, and an incredibly flexible interface that enables gamers to compete, socialise, and multi-task during game play without missing a beat. When it’s time to hang up their headphones, gamers have access to a premium Smart TV entertainment and lifestyle experience all in one epic monitor.”

Originally unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year, the groundbreaking Odyssey Ark was recognised as a CES Innovation Award Honoree.

A New Cinematic Experience That Appeal to the Senses

Check out the Odyssey Ark’s specifications via this infographic

The Odyssey Ark’s large 55-inch screen is designed to enhance the viewing experience by wrapping around the user’s field of view thanks to the monitor’s 1000R curvature. This is further emphasised by Cockpit Mode, which helps enable the screen to rotate with HAS (Height Adjustable Stand), tilt and pivot functionality for an optimal screen environment that creates a new sense of world-blending immersion.

The Odyssey Ark brings Samsung’s Quantum Matrix Technology to bear, using Quantum Mini LEDs, which enable ultra-fine and precise control of the densely packed LEDs. With newly added 14-bit processing, a sophisticated lighting control technology, gamers see both dark and bright scenes, including 16,384 black levels for realistic graphics.

A million-to-one static contrast ratio helps bring out subtle details with incredible clarity. Plus, the Neural Quantum Processor Ultra takes content quality to new heights by using data generated from 20 neural networks to enhance every visual detail, and can upscale content to up to 4K resolution.

For supreme cinematic experience, the Odyssey Ark leverages Samsung’s Matte Display and Sound Dome Technology. The Matte Display is designed to provide both anti-glare and anti-reflection protection, minimising distractions and helps keep users focused on the content in front of them. The Odyssey Ark can introduce magnificent sound with ‘Sound Dome Tech’ featuring AI Sound Booster and Dolby Atmos to help enhance the surround sound experience. Four speakers, one at each corner, and two central woofers result in realistic and rich sound thanks to a 60W 2.2.2 channel with the lowest 45Hz notes of any gaming screen or gaming soundbar.

Along with the 165Hz refresh rate, the Odyssey Ark brings together a 4K (3,840 x 2,160) resolution featuring 1ms response time (GtG) with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, maximising on-screen accuracy and can give gamers a competitive edge in fast-moving environments.

Flexible Interface To Find The Perfect Settings for Victory

Gamers increasingly expect personalised and customisable gaming experiences. The Odyssey Ark provides a range of innovative features that let gamers adjust screen size, position and even ratio for an optimal gaming setup. First, the solar-powered Ark Dial – the exclusive controller for the Odyssey Ark – can quickly and simply control a variety of settings, including Flex Move Screen, Multi View, Quick Settings and Game Bar.

Flex Move Screen allows users to adjust screen size between 55- and 27-inches, change the screen position and even switch the screen ratio between 16:9, 21:9 and 32:9 – all with just one touch of Ark Dial. This freedom in not only horizontal, but also vertical position, is designed to give users even more control of the viewing experience. Multi View allows users to use the large screen to its full potential by displaying up to four screens all at once while horizontal, or three while in Cockpit Mode. This reduces the need for multi-monitor setups, so gamers can enjoy a clutter-free environment.

Game Bar[5] is a powerful tool enabling gamers to quickly and easily view their gaming status and control important settings without ever needing to leave the game screen. From checking FPS (Frames Per Second), HDR (High Dynamic Range) and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), to adjusting settings such as screen ratio, response time and Game Picture mode, Game Bar puts the player in control and on the road to victory.

As well as being equipped with a solar panel, the Ark Dial can also be charged by a USB Type-C connection, minimising the need for any disposable batteries.

Ultimate Samsung Entertainment Screen with Incredible Gaming Performance

The Odyssey Ark is equipped with all the necessary features to deliver premium gaming, entertainment and lifestyle experiences. When connected to Wi-Fi, Smart Hub integrates essential IoT devices and functionality, allowing users to monitor and adjust settings such as temperature and humidity through the SmartThings app.

Odyssey line-up extended to offer Smart Services and Even Slicker Gameplay

The Odyssey Ark sits at the pinnacle of Samsung’s gaming monitor line-up, with the Odyssey G7 (G70B) and G6 (G65B) soon to join the 2022 line-up. Unveiled at GamesCom 2022, the Odyssey G7 and G6 monitors will also feature Samsung’s Smart Platform, doubling up as a Gaming Monitor and Smart TV, and include the option to create a home office environment even without a PC.

Furthermore, Samsung’s first OLED gaming monitor, the Odyssey OLED G8, was announced at IFA 2022. The monitor will be available in an ultra-thin, 34-inch form factor, delivering brilliant brightness on an OLED panel partnered with Quantum Dot Technology and packed full of incredible gaming features.

The Samsung Odyssey Ark monitor will be available for purchase in Australia from 24 October 2022 (RRP: $4,499) with pre-order available from today via the Samsung Online Store and Harvey Norman.

From today until 23 October 2022, Samsung’s Online Store is offering a bonus Secretlab TITAN Evo 2022 Series Gaming Chair with a limited edition Odyssey Magnetic Head Pillow (valued at $759) as well as a Samsung 980 PRO NVMe SSD1TB (valued at $235)[6] with every pre-order purchase of the Odyssey Ark.

Join the most anticipated annual event and receive legendary Waffenträger auf E 100 for rent

September 26, 2022 – Six years after it has been removed from the game, the iconic powerhouse, Waffenträger auf E 100, makes its triumphant return to World of Tanks!

During the upcoming “The Waffenträger: Legacy”event, players will again face off with the extremely powerful weapon of the von Krieger family, play in the Harrier Squad and unlock exclusive rewards. The Waffenträger is one of the most anticipated, annual campaigns by tankers and this year it deepens the lore and introduces a new villain, the Engineer’s daughter, Ermelinda. The event will run from September 26 – October 10.

The actions will take place in a 6v1 format and before entering the battle players will have to choose one of the sides in the conflict: the Harrier Squad which rushes into battles in extensively modified special vehicles or the Blitzträger auf E 110, an incredibly powerful tank destroyer manned by a single player.

The updated event progression is more linear and visually understandable. By reaching each new stage, players will receive valuable in-game items such as two unique female crew members with exclusive voiceovers, event-themed customization, bonds, days of Premium account, Engineer’s and Harrier’s starters for Gates (from which players can get cool Premium vehicles and other valuable prizes). What is the most important, upon completion of the final stage of the event’s progression, players will have the opportunity to rent the legendary German Tier X tank destroyer Waffenträger auf E 100 for 5 Random Battles. Note, more battles can be obtained in the Engineer’s Gate by using starters.
