STATIONflow Welcomes New Passengers to the Ultimate Metro Station Simulation, Out Now on Steam
DMM GAMES and Producer Tak Fujii Challenge Players to Build and Share the Ultimate Multi-level Metro Station in STATIONflow
Tokyo, Japan – April 15, 2020 – DMM GAMES, legendary game producer Tak Fujii (Ninety-Nine Nights II, Gal Metal), and game director Szabó Marcell announced today that STATIONflow has officially launched globally on Steam. The STATIONflow development team invites players to design, build, and share the ultimate underground metro station to manage the continuous flow of passengers.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1A72yXQfw8
Build complex 3D layouts, guide passengers to their destinations with signage, keep customers happy by meeting their needs, and don’t forget to stay within budget! With a free-form building system, the only limit is your imagination. Drag and adjust size and shapes of corridors and platforms with no limits from a grid structure and build your ultimate dream subway station! Once you have created and customized entire maps, share your ultimate dream station by utilizing the map editor through the Steam Workshop, or even directly.
“We are excited to welcome new players to STATIONflow today and would like to thank all players who helped support this project with feedback and encouraging reviews during Early Access,” said STATIONflow producer Tak Fujii. “Now that STATIONflow is launched and live, we look forward to fellow designers sharing their custom maps via the Steam Workshop.”
STATIONflowis a game about controlling the flow of thousands of passengers by building and managing an efficient underground train station. Key features include:
Manage the flow of thousands of passengers with different needs, stats and targets, simulated in real time.
Build complex 3D layouts in a multilayered map.
Place and shape corridors and structures freely, without the constraints of a grid.
Connect your station with stairs, escalators and elevators as efficiently as you can, but make sure everything is accessible.
Keep things functional and efficient: your goal is to avoid congestion and to get passengers to where they want to go as quickly and smoothly as possible.
Guide passengers via signage, and watch the flow of passengers change. Manipulate the path people take to avoid crowds—sometimes the shortest route is not the most efficient.
Satisfy your passengers’ desires for various services: place vending machines and kiosks, construct bathrooms, restaurants and more. Passengers will expect more than just to find their exit on time.
Don’t forget about upkeeps. You’re on a budget, so you’ll want to keep your station lean and efficient—but make sure it isn’t at the cost of passenger satisfaction!
And of course, the higher-ups are always watching. You will receive daily evaluations based on passenger feedback. Do well, and you will be rewarded with an extended budget and additional construction options, but also given increased responsibilities. Do poorly, and you may well be on your way to bankruptcy…

New Battleships Appear in World of Warships: Legends
New Update Releases Russian Destroyers, Two Campaigns, New Features, and Early Access to Russian Battleships!
April 14th – A new update for World of Warships: Legends brings the release of Russian Destroyers and appearance of Russian Battleships in early access and more from April 13. After a few weeks of duck-infused hilarity, World of Warships: Legends is back to more serious waters, introducing two new Campaigns, two new seasons of Ranked Battles, and a host of new features. This update is filled to the brim, let’s check it out.
The Russian Destroyers are now fully released, meaning players can research their way through them to the Tier VII Tashkent. These ships are quite interesting, unlike most destroyers, they focus on their abilities as a gunboat rather than stealth and torpedo armament. Like the Russian Cruisers, they have flat-shooting guns designed to work best at their maximum range. Staying at this range works well for the destroyers, giving them time to dodge incoming fire with their tremendous speed. After adding in some short-ranged torpedoes, the Russian gunboats are perfect for high-risk, high-reward gameplay.
Speaking of high-risk, high-reward–the Russian Battleships are here in early access, due to be fully released next update. They bring heavy red artillery to the sea, and will contest the German battleships for the spot of best brawler. The guns on these brawlers are only accurate at close range and they are heavily armoured, making them great at pushing the enemy. However, they will take massive damage if caught broadside on, so careful positioning is required! Players will be able to sail in these behemoths by opening Soviet crates, which can be earned in the campaigns.
There are two new campaigns coming this update, “To Tame A Dreadnought” and “The Heroic Oleg.” The first campaign will run until May 4 and features the Russian commander Mikhail Kedrov as the final reward. Kedrov was historically the captain of the battleship Gangut during World War One and now brings his experience to help players tame the Russian Battleships in World of Warships: Legends. “The Heroic Oleg” campaign starts just after “To Tame A Dreadnought” and has the cruiser Oleg as the crown jewel. The Oleg is a handsome old-fashioned protected cruiser that was one of the few Russian survivors of the Battle of Tsushima. Both campaigns are packed with rewards, including Soviet crates that give players a shot at getting one of the new battleships!
Ranked battles reappear for two more sprints, returning to the shorter seasons based on player feedback. Players will be able to battle through for extra rewards, season exclusive patches and some Soviet crates. Plus, there are a couple new features coming to the game! First, there is now a Photo mode in the port for players to take beauty shots of their favourite ships. There is also an option to have the commanders speak in their mother-tongues now, and a bigger scale HUD option for smaller screens.

Operating since 1998, Wargaming has grown to become one of the leaders in the gaming industry with 4500+ employees and offices spread all over the world.

Their flagship products include the massively popular free-to-play hit World of Tanks and the strategic naval action game World of Warships.
All in! Games and Dreamplant Studio announced their 3D rogue-lite RPGArboria will hit Steam Early Access on May 7. The first Steam Early Access build will offer four levels set in the same environment. No word on the Steam Early Access price, but it will be cheaper than the final launch price.
Arboria is a third person action RPG with procedurally generated dungeons. Players take on the role of a Yotun warrior who has been chosen to save the tribe from destruction by healing the Father Tree. Players will venture down into The Hole into the land of Durnar with their mutating symbiotic weapons at their side, allowing them to choose the best weapon to use against their opponent.
When the original source material already features single warriors taking down hundreds of random grunts at a time, it only makes sense that it would be a perfect fit for Omega Force’s musou formula. As such it only makes sense that the One Piece series has seen numerous musou games released for it over the years but this time around Bandai Namco has left the series sit for some time. Now five years after the original release of the previous game, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 marks the first time the Pirate Warriors series has appeared on the current generation of consoles and a number of new story arcs. So does this musou game manage to capture what makes the original series so popular while still offering entertaining gameplay?
Story
Even with most of us having plenty of time on our hands at the moment, attempting to catch up with the One Piece series from the start is almost laughable but One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 does its best as the series offers a “Dramatic Log” story mode that serves as a streamlined version of the series’ storyline. Of course this means that some minor moments are glossed over but One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 manages to do a remarkable job presenting the story through a mixture of stills and in-engine cutscenes replicating the significant moments that occur throughout each major arc that is presented.
This style of presentation is something that fans will truly appreciate as the development team has made sure to portray all of the emotional moments in the series in the best way possible. This helps the storyline feel just as impactful as it originally was at times. It is worth noting though that thanks to this being the fourth entry in a game series that has already told the story before up to a certain point, longtime fans should be ready to see the same story retreaded through with only a few alterations here and there..
Rather than start entirely from the beginning gameplay wise, players will initially be told the start of the story through cutscenes until the beginning of the Alabasta arc all the way through to the current running Wano arc. There are a number of moments in the original storyline that are only mentioned but the real meat of the new content comes once the player reaches the final two arcs, Whole Cake Island and Wano though it is also worth noting, at least for fans who aren’t keeping up with the story to the letter, that the game does take an original approach to Wano in an attempt to wrap up the story in a satisfying manner.
Gameplay
Alongside the aforementioned Dramatic Log that serves to tell the game’s story players will also have access to Free Log and the Treasure Log, though both of these other modes come secondary to the story mode as players will need to advance the core story to unlock extra stages, characters, and challenges that are available in these modes. Free Log allows players to replay through any previously finished mission using any characters that have been unlocked so far, making for some rather interesting combinations at times considering the large amount of characters available, while the Treasure Log provides players with various missions that must be completed during a stage that grow more difficult as the player progresses. Alongside the story mode players will want to use Treasure Log the most as not only are some playable characters locked behind this mode but various character growth materials are also best farmed through these levels.
These growth materials can be used either on a universal skill tree that provides bonuses to every character or on individual fighters as well since every single playable character in the game has a unique move set and skill tree that allows them to grow stronger. In fact, thanks to the fact that the One Piece franchise as a whole features such a wide range of power, players will be delighted to find that nearly every single one of the playable characters, of which there are over forty, plays in a rather unique manner and has special traits and abilities that match the skills they are known for in the source material.
Speaking of these abilities and the characters themselves, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 excels at making sure that the player feels like an absolute powerhouse. One simple combo as any of the playable characters will send generic enemies flying to the point of ridiculousness and, where it used to be seen as a milestone to knock out a thousand enemies in a stage, that can now be done in a matter of minutes in many locations. Despite being incredibly flashy, the combat itself is quite basic at its core with only standard attacks and heavy attacks allowing for a mix-up of combo strings. Alongside this players now have the ability to perform air combos with every fighter by sending foes flying into the air and then pursuing them for extra damage. With players having the ability to now perform a range of ground combos that can then be transitioned into an air combo, fights happen at a brisk pace in One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 even when facing off against slightly stronger foes. There are even a number of special moves that characters can perform mid-combo to extend the damage even further and really make players feel unstoppable.
That being said, the actual character balance isn’t handled the best. This really doesn’t come to be much of an issue as players can choose from a variety of characters when tackling a story stage or any character they’ve unlocked in the other modes, but it is a bit disappointing to see some fighters not taking as much advantage of some of the combat mechanics as well as others, especially with the flight mechanics of the few flying characters being a bit rough.
This problem only grows worse when the player factors in the awful camera angles and controls in the game. While it is possible to lock onto enemy commanders and the more challenging and intense boss battles against armored characters, doing so often makes a fight ten times harder as the fast paced combat that moves all around the battlefield forces the combo to often clip into walls or simply lose complete track of the action. As such players will find it better to simply play without locking onto foes and fighting the camera themselves as it is marginally better that way.
Visuals & Audio
One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 manages to capitalize on the current generation of console’s ability to spawn plenty of enemies at a time and make sure that things run smoothly no matter how many enemies are on screen at a time nor how flashy the moves are that the player is ripping through them with. The character models for the playable characters and signature boss enemies are presented exactly as fans of the series would remember them but the standard enemy types remain as generic as they come. The same can also surprisingly be said about the battle arenas since, outside of a few locations, many of the environments that players will battle through are unimaginative and fail to capture the signature themes that One Piece usually features with its world.
Another odd choice is that, once again, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 has not been released with any form of English dub and instead only features the original Japanese voice track. Thankfully the Japanese voice actors for all of the original cast have returned to reprise their roles here but it is something that is a bit disappointing alongside some fairly generic background music that runs through most stages.
Overall
One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 once again manages to capture the crazy abilities that exist in the One Piece world and transition them successfully into a fun and flashy musou game that really lets players feel like a powerhouse on the field when you’re not fighting the camera. With so many different characters handling different from one another, there is a lot of experimentation to be had alongside a story mode that goes right up to the current Wano anime arc but be prepared to tread plenty of old ground on the way there.

FIGHT THE SENTIENT INVASION IN WARFRAME OPERATION SCARLET SPEAR, AVAILABLE NOW ON PS4, XBOX & NINTENDO SWITCH™
Strategize in the New Operation Room and Repel Sentient Forces Using Operation Link in The New War’s Opening Salvo
LONDON, ONTARIO, CA – April 9, 2020 – Canadian developer and publisher Digital Extremes will bring new meaning to the word ‘war’ with Warframe® Operation Scarlet Spear, available today on PlayStation®4 and Xbox One and Nintendo Switch™. In the scramble to counter the Sentients’ first offensive wave of the New War, players can now form plans together in the new Operation Room before launching expanded cooperative land and space battles. Only with the newly implemented Operation Link (formerly ‘Squad Link’), will Tenno have a fighting chance to stave off Sentient incursions in this five-week event, starting today, April 9, and ending Thursday, May 14.
Console players who’ve waited for Operation Scarlet Spear to arrive on their platforms will see their patience rewarded. Numerous improvements to the PC build will be fully implemented to consoles. Those changes include:
An all-new five-week Operation (timed event) specific to console players starts today
Ground Assault and Murex Raid scoring changes (increases over original scoring) will go live at launch today
Rare and Legendary Arcanes will be available in Little Duck’s store in the Flotillas on launch
This update also brings a slew of exciting items and upgrades to please avid Warframe players: Nova’s second Deluxe Collection and a powerful new weapon class to earn are among a number of additions. Players will discover the origins of the anti matter-wielding Nova in a new Leverian exhibit and obtain her second Deluxe Collection, including variants of her Armor, Syandana and skins of signature weapons. Learn more details here: warframe.com
Repelling Sentient Attacks in the Veil Proxima Operation Scarlet Spear’s new cinematic delves into uncharted narrative territory with the Sentient threat deploying forces across the Origin System. Following the cinematic cliff-hangar from 2019’s Empyrean, the first wave of Sentient scouts have breached the Veil Proxima using Ramsled ships to disrupt Tenno momentum. Honing in on Railjack ships, the invaders send forth boarding parties, including Anu Mantalysts and Anu Interference Drones, to disrupt and disable systems, from Side Turrets to Battle Avionics to Speed Boosting, testing Tenno resilience.
It’s up to the Tenno to rally together and repel these early attacks. Players can now formulate plans in a new 50-person Relay (the new Operation Room) and then embark on four-player missions (“Operations”) utilizing cooperative ground and Railjack attacks (the new Operation Link feature) to achieve combined community goals. Each successful Operation builds progress that adds to the overall community goal, driving back enemy forces before the invasion engulfs the entire Origin System.
