Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War Update for Lunar New Year

Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War Update for Lunar New Year

Seoul, South Korea – February 26, 2018 – Joycity’s hit game, Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War sails into the New Year with an update introducing new systems along with changes to existing game elements.

Traditionally, Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War featured 1-v-3 ship battles. In the New Year Update, this will change to everyone-versus-everyone! A real-time aspect will also be introduced in which players with higher rates of fire will be able to fire more frequently.

The New Year Update also introduces new Tacticians. Players will be able to select from a pool of 30 Tacticians, who can be enlisted by visiting Captain Jack Sparrow every 24 hours. Tacticians carry special talismans that empower ships with a variety of helpful elemental attributes, such as Fire, Water, Wind, Light, and Dark. Assign the Tacticians to your fleet and add a deeper layer of strategy to battle.

The Queen’s Secret Mission revamp is also included in the New Year Update, splitting the old missions system into two. Players will now be able to select between Secret and Urgent Missions.

More rewards will now be given out to players who reach certain levels, represented by crossed swords. Before the update, the combined numbers simply showed how strong the player was. In the New Year Update, players will now be rewarded upon reaching certain scores. The new rewards will start at 5 million points and will be spread over 20 different intervals up to 205 million points.

Other improvements include a Guide Book for new players, as well as refurbishing some shop elements. Also, the first Captain to attack each World Boss monster will now be rewarded.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War is a mobile strategy simulation game based on the popular “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise from Disney. The game has seen a massive fan following from North America, Europe, and Asia since the release in May 2017.

Face the Perils of the Arctic Depths with a Partner in Co-Op Release of Debris

Face the Perils of the Arctic Depths with a Partner in Co-Op Release of Debris

Atmospheric, Narrative-Driven Game is 50% O For One Week

Hamilton, Ontario, Canada (February 26, 2018) — Dive with a friend to discover the hazards of a surreal world locked below Arctic sea ice in today’s launch of the highly-anticipated co-op mode for rst-person, narrative adven- ture game Debris from independent video game developer Moonray Studios. To celebrate our co-op release, Debris is discounted at 50% o for one week.

Following the soft launch of its single player campaign in October of 2017, Debris’ co-op mode has players scrambling to nd power for their lifesystems, defeat deadly creatures, and decipher what mysterious forces are attempt- ing to prevent them from escaping. Designed based on the challenges facing those a ected by psychosis and created with the help of medical profession- als, Debris explores the interplay between perception and reality in an uncon- ventional, narrative-driven co-op format. Players must negotiate each other’s choices as their realities drift further and further apart due to their own creep- ing psychosis.

“Co-op mode is the ultimate way to play Debris because it allows people to truly experience what it’s like to have psychosis,” said Dan Clark, Founder at Moonray Studios. “One person may hear or see something, while their friend may not and vice versa. With each delusion and reality, players won’t know who’s right, who’s wrong and what is really going on.”

Escape Together or Die Alone

Players are part of a small team sent to lm a promotional video for a ground-breaking discovery: meteoric debris embedded deep in Arctic ice that provides clean, hyper-e cient energy. Taking on the roles of either Ryan, the team’s videographer, or Sonya, a promising engineer and project leader, play- ers embark on a ght for survival in the murky depths of the Arctic Ocean.

Stranded at the bottom after a tragic accident, injured and running out of time, their only hope for survival is to reach the surface. But something else is going on. Things aren’t right, they don’t add up, and divers can’t help but speculate. Why is this happening?

Dive into:

A Mysterious Story that Leaves Players Questioning Everything

The story of Debris unfolds in the communication be- tween partners as they struggle to navigate and unravel why they’re trapped and how they can escape.

Multiple Endings Dramatically Impacted by Key Choices

An unconventional narrative co-op mode where a per- son’s partner matters and tensions are high. Three lives are in the balance. One has a light, one has a gun; one sees everything, one hears everything; one is lost, and one is stuck. But everyone thinks they know what’s real- ly going on. Each character is brought to life with living, breathing conversational dialogue.

Gameplay All About Time

Everything a player can do is tied to power, which counts down continuously. Debris is full of time depen- dent choices, the time they need, the time they lose and the time they are willing to spend.

A Unique Underwater Setting like Nothing Players Have Ever Seen

With 8 axes of movement (including buoyancy), divers glide through the Arctic labyrinth and quickly discover that their prison is home to strange bioluminescent ora and fauna, prey and predators of light and darkness.

As they ght their way to safety, players will need to gure out what’s behind this surreal world and their desperate situ- ation. Knowing will make all the di erence.

RACERS, REV YOUR ENGINES! NEW COOPERATIVE ARCADE RACING GAME TRAILBLAZERS COMING SPRING 2018

RACERS, REV YOUR ENGINES! NEW COOPERATIVE ARCADE RACING GAME TRAILBLAZERS COMING SPRING 2018

Rising Star Games and Supergonk Reveal First Details on Groundbreaking Racing Title Coming Soon to All Major Gaming Formats

LOS ANGELES, CA – February 22, 2018 – Videogame publisher Rising Star Games, in partnership with new UK-based independent game developer Supergonk, announced today that Trailblazers, the world’s first true, second-to-second co-operative arcade racing game, will be unleashed across all major gaming platforms in Spring 2018.

Trailblazers is a fresh new co-operative racing title with an innovative on-track game mechanic: paint the track, boost on your color, and work as a team to win! Racing in teams of up to three-versus-three, players paint the track as they race, capturing key areas to dynamically change the racing line, then boosting on their team’s color. Racers who drive with flair and style will also amass skill points to blaze their way to victory! Players can experience the blistering high-speed action with up to six players online, or locally via split-screen for up to four local players with additional online or CPU-controlled challengers.

“The Supergonk team is proud to announce Trailblazers; our vision of true co-op racing designed from the ground-up with team play at its core,” said Ben Ward, founder of Supergonk. “The brand new paint/boost mechanics introduce a fresh layer of second-to-second strategic thinking which can’t be found in other racing titles. As huge racing game fans, we feel that the genre often hasn’t been as innovative as we’d like. Our aim with Trailblazers is clear: to create a brand new IP to reinvigorate the genre and build an unexpected new racer that we ourselves want to play.”

Paint within the track lines of Trailblazers to setup turbo boosting for trailing teammates!

Loaded with multiplayer thrills and a series of single-player challenges across an extended campaign mode, Trailblazers is an audio-visual onslaught of retro-futuristic style and attitude. The game takes place in a lavishly designed world from the creative mind of BAFTA award-winning artist Will Milton. Players race through expansive and stunning scenic tracks set across locations ranging from mountain tops to lush forests and arid desert valleys. Aural soundscapes are provided via the officially licensed soundtrack featuring leaders of the Future Funk genre, including Get On Up by Skope, Bad King Kong by The Derevolutions, and Dead Ringer by A.Skillz.

In Trailblazers, players will race as, and alongside, a diverse cast of characters. Each driver plays a vital role in the racing community and unfolding story of the Trailblazers world, and each has a unique role and driving behaviour. Players can also choose from a showroom of the fastest race cars in the galaxy, each with customised stats to fit every play style and track type.

“We are thrilled to have worked alongside Supergonk to help realise their vision,” said Martin Defries, President of Rising Star Games. “The game is superb, the ambition high, and the opportunity vast. We are keen to show the gaming community across the world just how great this game is.”

Trailblazers, developed by Supergonk and published digitally by Rising Star Games, will be available globally from Spring 2018 across all major gaming platforms. Keep your engines running for incoming additional information about gameplay modes and features of this ground-breaking new arcade racing title, by following Rising Star Games on InstagramTwitterFacebook, or visit the Trailblazers website.

Batman: The Enemy Within – What Ails You Review

Batman: The Enemy Within – What Ails You

Developer: Telltale Games
Publisher: Telltale Games
Platforms: Xbox One (Reviewed), PlayStation 4, PC
Release Date: Available Now
Price: $4.99 – Available Here

Overview

There are inherent risks when it comes to taking a beloved franchise and creating a brand new take on its story, especially when the property is as big as Batman. Throughout their time with the series Telltale Games has had fans wondering just how things will play out as numerous twists to the established formula have kept them on their toes. Now as we’ve seen in Batman: The Enemy Within, John Doe is far different from the Joker many see him as, but just how different can he become in this fourth episode?

Story

Since this review will cover an ongoing series that has yet to be completed, those who have yet to play previous episodes in the series before Batman: The Enemy Within – What Ails You should do so before continuing to read as various events will be discussed from past episodes.

At the end of Batman: The Enemy Within – Fractured Mask players were given a pivotal choice that played a large role in the way the episode concluded. This major decision saw Bruce sacrificing his cover to protect Catwoman or blaming the leaks on her to keep himself close to The Pact and depending on what you selected the beginning of this episode will play out in a wildly different way. That is something that Telltale has excelled at throughout this season as players will be encouraged to either play through the game twice to see how things happen differently or simply discuss things with others to see what varied between these versions

Of course as one would expect, the story does meld back to the same point with a deadly virus falling into the hands of the criminals and Bruce needing to put a stop to their misguided plans. What makes things interesting here is just how he has to track them down as it once again falls to John Doe being the one to lead Bruce/Batman to his quarry.

The amount of character development and tense situations that players will experience throughout this episode make it one of the best this season. Especially in regards to John Doe, who we all have known is this game’s version of the Joker. What few could have seen coming is just how well-written and integral to the story John would end up being without flat out turning into a villain by this point.

By constantly giving players glimpses at John’s psyche and seeing him as vulnerable and misguided as he was trying to follow Harley Quinn we see a side that has never been shown of the character and with players always needing to either place their trust in this potential powder keg or shunning him, we see just how this character ends up where he does by the time the credits role this time around.

Outside of dealing with John players will also learn plenty of new information regarding Waller, the Agency, and the true nature of the Virus and why The Pact formed in the first place. This lays the groundwork for future events that will be interesting to see play out in the final episode which will hopefully be a doozy because with everything that players know now and the way this episode leaves off, Batman will face a dangerous threat no matter how things played out.

Gameplay

As with many of the episodes this season, the amount of exploration and puzzle solving players take part is quite small as the focus is instead placed on the action and dialogue scenes. There are also, as mentioned before, quite a few scenes that play out very differently depending on the choices that you have made through previous episodes, including elements that happened in the first episode so players will be pleased to see their choices carrying at least some level of consequence this far into the season.

Visuals & Audio

This episode places players in a number of new and interesting looking locations though most of these are shown only through action sequences which remain highly impressive looking. It is worth noting that unlike past episodes, What Ails You managed to play perfectly without any of the usual Telltale graphical glitches appearing.

One must give the actor portraying John Doe a lot of credit for his handling of the character this episode. Thanks to the numerous heart-breaking scenes that the character appears in, especially near the end of the episode and in certain branches of the storyline, his performance truly shines. The rest of the characters are also handled quite well with a number of side characters making a return this episode.

Overall

With impressive writing that adds impact and weight to the decisions that players make through the episode, Batman: The Enemy Within – What Ails You leaves us with a shorter runtime than usual but packs in enough story development and pertinent plot information while leaving players with one hell of a cliffhanger that will leave them excited to see just how this story will wrap up next episode.
