Australia – Sept. 23, 2021 – HyperX, the gaming peripherals team at HP Inc. and brand leader in gaming and esports, has announced the HyperX Pulsefire Haste gaming mouse is now compatible with NVIDIA Reflex. NVIDIA Reflex measures system latency – giving gamers an accurate measure of their system’s responsiveness.

The NVIDIA Reflex Analyzer is a system latency measure tool in new NVIDIA® G-SYNC® Reflex displays. The tool detects clicks coming from the mouse and then measures the time it takes for the resulting pixel to change on screen. Now with Reflex, gamers can start a match with confidence, knowing their system is operating exactly as it should be.

The Pulsefire Haste utilises an ultra-light honeycomb hex shell design that offers quicker movements and increased ventilation. The mouse features six programmable buttons and onboard memory and uses TTC Golden micro dustproof switches rated for up to 60 million clicks. The Pulsefire Haste is built with low-friction, pure virgin-grade PTFE skates for effortless glide movement and utilises a HyperFlex USB cable designed to reduce tension and resistance.

“We are thrilled to have compatibility with NVIDIA’s Reflex technology in their new G-SYNC monitors. This enables instantaneous latency analysis giving gamers full confidence in the capabilities of the responsiveness of their systems,” said HyperX. “We hope to continue to meet the ever-changing needs of gamers at all levels, including those looking for a lightweight, multi-platform compatible mouse designed for top gaming performance.”  

The HyperX Pulsefire Haste is built for elite gamers looking to gain every fraction of a second possible, designed to meet the needs of gamers looking for an ultra-light weight mouse.

Klang 2 Delivers Pulse-Pounding EDM Action on PC October 20, 2021

HAMAR, Norway – 23 Sept. 2021 – Klang 2, the rhythm-action game with hypnotic beats and high-speed action from developer Tinimations, delivers flow-inducing battles on Windows PC via Steam on Wednesday, Oct. 20, 2021.

Enter an immersive world where cadence and combat are one and the same. Progress through choreographed fight scenes scored to an EDM soundtrack from lead audio collaborator bLiNd as well as Otographic Music, City Girl, James Landino, and other artists. Strike enemies with mighty tuneblades for rapid-fire damage, dash and counter through foes’ incoming attacks, and charge up special hold attacks to unleash powerful lightning strikes – all while moving in tune to the music.

Master a semi-procedural combat system that ensures no battles play out the same. Get familiar with beatmaps and the flow of each song, but keep a keen eye on your adversaries, as their procedural movements and attack patterns change according to Klang’s position and performance. Face off against six imposing bosses throughout the story, each with a dynamic style requiring different strategies to overcome or tackle arcade mode’s 24 tracks for pulse-pounding action.

Klang 2 supports multiple input methods, including mouse and keyboard, gamepad, drawing tablet, and touch controls. Choose a preferred method and dive into a techno-greek world drawing inspiration from synthwave aesthetics, Greek sculptures, and musical symbolism. Devour a gripping story following two characters with changing motivations and surprising twists. Uncover optional dialogue opportunities between stages for a deeper dive into the lore of Klang 2, or tune out and focus on the action by ramping up the speed of each track for an increased challenge.

“Today marks the fifth anniversary of the original Klang,” said Tom-Ivar Arntzen, Tinimations founder and sole developer of Klang 2. “The sequel is a more refined, intense, and tighter rhythm-action experience. Whether you’re a fan of the first, or a newcomer looking for an entrancing EDM action experience, give Klang 2 a spin when it comes to Steam on October 20, 2021! I’m also happy to share that the console versions of Klang 2 are looking great and will be available sometime after the PC launch!”

Klang 2 will be available on Steam for Windows PC Wednesday, October 20, 2021, for $15.00, with English, French, Norwegian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Turkish and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional)-language support. Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One versions will be available following the PC launch in 2021.

Rover Mechanic Simulator to also arrive on Xbox consoles. Restore the glory to Martian rovers!

0

Following a successful launch on PC, Rover Mechanic Simulator is also coming to Xbox. It’s a unique game that allows you to become a mechanic of Martian rovers, which have been faithfully recreated based on NASA technical documentation. The release date for Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S is set for September 22 this year. In the following months, Rover Mechanic Simulator will also appear on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.

Rover Mechanic Simulator is being developed by the Polish studio Pyramid Games S.A., known for such games as Castle Flipper and the upcoming Occupy Mars. The simulator debuted on PC in November 2020 and was very well received by players. Currently, the percentage of positive reviews on Steam is as high as 90%.

The game will be published on Xbox One by Ultimate Games S.A. As part of backward compatibility, it also works on Xbox Series X/S.

In Rover Mechanic Simulator, players take on the role of a mechanic who repairs and maintains rovers in the first Martian colony. The gameplay consists on carrying out different assignments. Once you familiarise yourself with the problem, you need to analyse it, find a solution and carry out the entire repair process. Sometimes it is necessary, for example, to create a new part using a 3D printer. The gameplay is additionally diversified by, among others, hidden retro mini-games.

Players will be able to use several types of rovers (Sojourner, Curiosity, Opportunity and Spirit) and the helicopter drone Ingenuity. Each model has been recreated in detail based on NASA’s technical documentation. For example, the Curiosity rover in Rover Mechanic Simulator consists of 437 different parts.

“Our game combines relaxing gameplay and educational elements. The individual models of rovers are distinguished by a high level of realism. Our graphic artists have spent many months studying the documentation of the actual equipment to reflect its construction as accurately as possible. Of course, some gameplay-related simplifications were necessary. For example, you have to remember that rovers are designed with a one-way journey in mind, and here we can repair them and fully restore their capabilities. Due to this, we have replaced the original rivets with screws” – said Jacek Wyszyński, CEO at Pyramid Games S.A.

Players can use a variety of tools, including a crane, shredder, soldering iron or 3D printer. Progress in Rover Mechanic Simulator also goes hand in hand with the character and skill development system, which is based on the experience points you earn. As the developers indicate, the simulator offers a total of about a dozen hours of relaxing gameplay.

Rover Mechanic Simulator – features:

  • the career of a Martian mechanic;
  • relaxing and educational gameplay;
  • faithfully reproduced rovers;
  • character and skill development system;
  • varied and engaging assignments.

The release date of Rover Mechanic Simulator for Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S is set for September 22, 2021. The game is also expected to be released on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.

Bring a glimmer of hope to humanity on the brink of extinction in Lumencraft, a subterranean survival shooter

Bring a glimmer of hope to humanity on the brink of extinction. 2Dynamic Games and Star Drifters present a jointly developed subterranean survival shooter, Lumencraft

A top-down shooter blending the elements of survival and tower defense genres, Lumencraft, has a demo slated for October 1, 2021. It is the first production by 2Dynamic Games, a Polish studio which has just started collaborating with Star Drifters, an independent Polish developer and publisher. Early Access is planned in the following months.

Lumencraft is the first production by 2Dynamic Games, a Polish studio based in Cracow. You can find strands of Alien Breed in its DNA, as well as nods to Darkwood, but with a tactical and survival spin to it. The gameplay mechanics allow players to dig through hostile subterranean surroundings and the original game engine facilitates an unprecedented level of environment interaction, along with fully destructible terrain and dynamic lighting system. 

The game is produced in cooperation with Star Drifters, a company responsible for Driftland: The Magic Revival, a highly successful title with over 300,000 copies sold, as well as Danger Scavenger – one of the highest rated games for Atari VCS.

The game’s description:

The year is 2221. The planet’s surface became uninhabitable over a century ago. Today the remains of humanity struggle to survive without electricity and light. Dreams of a better future had withered a long time ago, but a recently discovered mineral brought a spark of hope. Lumen, a crystal of high energy potency, can be the last chance for the struggling civilization. This mineral can drastically increase humanity’s odds of survival. 

A team of Scouts, highly specialized miners, has ventured deep below the ground. It’s almost impossible to survive there. They established a settlement near the estimated deposits of Lumen. Their mission objective is seemingly simple: excavate and collect the precious mineral. However, getting back with it to the surface alive is another story altogether. And no one has lived to tell that tale yet… Impossibly hostile caverns have proven to be a nearly impenetrable barrier so far, but they hold the key to rejuvenate the fading civilization.Watch the teaser trailer for Lumencraft:

What to expect from the game:

  • Defending an underground settlement by direct combat and the use of a wide array of turrets. 
  • Highly efficient and immensely satisfying digging mechanics.
  • Explosive weapons. 
  • Dynamic lights and pixel-perfect interaction with the fully destructible terrain.
  • Atmosphere of dread created through the impactful sound design and a unique 2Dynamic lighting system.
  • Tech tree that gives you a strong feeling of progression.
  • Realistic physics simulations (just look at the lava!).

Lumencraft will debut on Steam Next Festival on October 1, 2021 in the form of a playable demo, which will be followed by a Steam Early Access launch in the coming months.

The game will also be displayed on EGX in London between October 7-10, 2021. Lumencraft is set to be released on PC first, but other platforms are also considered.

Star Drifters is an independent game development studio based in Warsaw, Poland.
