LIGHT TRACER to Bring Magical Puzzle Platform Play to PlayStation®VR in September

Oasis Games Brings New Title to the West for PS VR, Transporting Players to an Enchanting Magical Tower

August 7, 2017 – Oasis Games Ltd, a leading independent Chinese publisher, today announced that its new Puzzle Platform VR game, LIGHT TRACER, will launch in the West this September for PlayStation®VR. In the indie-developed game, players will lead a princess to the top of an enigmatic, Babel-like tower to save her ailing people, using godlike powers and a Light Staff to guide the princess while manipulating objects to create a safe path for her.

LIGHT TRACER combines platform-style movement and clever puzzles with unique play mechanics and delightful artwork. In the game, the player controls a mysterious godlike entity who can wield a magical Light Staff in one hand while using its other hand to interact with the game world, helping the Princess reach the safety of the tower’s pinnacle. The Light Staff guides the Princess forward while the player manipulates the world to get a better view, interacts with object triggers and moves items to turn barriers into bridges. As the player progresses, the entity’s hidden relationship with the princess is gradually revealed.

“LIGHT TRACER brings a new style of platform game to PS VR players, offering a journey of challenging puzzles, colossal heights and artistic visuals,” said Alen Wu, Business Director at Oasis Games. “You’ll need both hands to save the Princess: one to guide her using your Light Staff and the other to spin and manipulate the mysterious tower to open a path to save her people from a tragic fate.”

The Princess’s journey comprises eight varied chapters ranging from ice to gravity puzzles to mechanical contraptions, and each level ends with a challenging boss fight requiring strategy as well as quick reflexes. Players will guide the Princess through action-platform stages with jumping, timing and enemies—but they must also engage with mind-bending puzzles in each level. Often the solution depends not only on your intellect, but also in the way you look at things!

FEATURES

·     A New Kind of VR Puzzle Platformer: Guide the Princess through platform-style challenges with jumps, enemies and precise timing requirements while manipulating the world and solving clever puzzles that depend on your point of view—literally!

·     The Powers of a God: Wield your powerful Light Staff in one hand while interacting with the world with the other to open a path upward
·     Enchanting Graphics: A compelling, almost toy-like world comes to life as you ascend the giant tower and interact with the Princess
·     Eight Unique Worlds: From Gravity World to Ice World to Mechanica World, each chapter offers new puzzles and challenges
·     A View to a Thrill: Grab and spin the tower for fresh perspectives that may unveil the answer to the riddles in front of you
·     Battle with Bosses: Each chapter ends with a unique boss fight where you must use both strategy and quick reflexes to overcome opponents like a rock giant or a sinister snowman

Developed by Void Dimensions and published by Oasis Games for PS VR, LIGHT TRACER will be available this September on the PlayStation®Store. This game has been rated “E for Everyone” by the ESRB.

Cat Quest Review

Cat Quest Review

Cat Quest

Developer: The Gentlebros
Publisher: PQube Limited
Format: PC (Reviewed)
Release Date: 8 Aug 2017
Price: $12.99USD – Available Here

Overview

I’m a simple man. I see “cat” in a title, I’m already interested. When it comes to games, that has not served me well so far. I can thank Greenlight’s quality check for that (or lack of any, to be honest). Asset flips, low effort games, broken games – most of them found a way to desecrate the holy order of felinity. Yet, every once in a while, we get a game that manages to save face for all the virtual cats out there. Cat Quest manages to do a lot of things right while keeping it all simple. Not to mention ridiculously cute.

Story

A relaxing fishing trip with your sister is interrupted by an evil cat antagonist (catagonist?) Drakoth who steals your sister, destroys the boat and throws you into the water. That last part is especially devastating if you’re a cat. Later you find yourself stranded in a world of Felingard and meet your new companion Spirry (think of him as a less annoying version of Navi from Legend of Zelda). Now you’re all set for a brand new mewenture!

Gameplay

Yes, a mewenture. The game is rich with cat puns but also play on words with real world locations, pop culture references and parodying a couple of things from Skyrim here and there.  Now, see that first screenshot above? The first time I took control of the game I figured it is a static type map so I clicked on the first nearby location. But to my amazement, the catracter (cat + character, original pun, do not steal!) swung his sword and I realized the world map is alive and interactive with me and everything else in it!

On our way to slay some dragons, defeat Drakoth and save our sister in the end, there are plenty of hurdles we must jump over in the process. In this cases, hurdles would be gaining a lot of experience, new equipment and weapons. There are two ways we can go on about it – slaying random monsters on the world map and solving side quests. The first approach is something I wouldn’t recommend. The more you wander away into the unknown, higher the chance you’ll stumble upon some overpowered monsters who will kill you in one hit. Patience and not rushing is the key here. Also, solving the average side quests will give you enough exp that you would earn otherwise by fighting random monsters for half an hour. Speaking of fights, Cat Quest has simple and exciting combat mechanic at the same time. All battles are done real time where you can cast spells while slashing them with your sword. Evading attacks by rolling is important too, since enemies won’t just stand there while you’re picking them off one by one. Their attack range and time is represented by a growing red circle underneath them, so you’ll know when it is the best moment to roll away to safety.

Visuals

If there is one word to describe Cat Quest with, it is the most obvious one: cute. Everything is cute. The monsters, the world map, even the equipment you put on your hero. I spent way too much time dressing up that kitty to balance between good & cute equipment I could put on him. Something simple as watching you kitty skipping around while running is strangely fulfilling. One thing that felt (and looked) monotonous is something you’d expect from most of the RPGs by now. The dungeons. After you pillage through a few, you start to see repeating visuals. At least you won’t spend too much time in them unless some side quest sends you there.

Audio

As for the music, it’s only there if you stop and look for it. Not much to find, though. One repeating audio background as you explore the world, a different tunes when you’re on a side quest or in a dungeon and that’s pretty much it. Nothing on that front that will stand out but at least it keeps the game from being completely mute. It is a shame since Cat Quest is a type of game that’s just begging for a memorable soundtrack.

Overall

There is a whole lot of content to be found behind this deceptively simple game. With over 50 dungeons to explore and 60 side quests to solve, it’s sure to keep you occupied for a while. Most of the work in the game went into an adorable art style and a meticulously crafted world and it shows on every skippity step you take. It has my honest recommendation for the sheer amount of cuteness and cat puns (what can I say, I’m weak to those).

ROKH Preview

ROKH Preview

ROKH

Developer: Nvizzio Creations , Darewise Entertainment
Publisher: Darewise Entertainment
Platform: Windows
Release Date: 16 May 207
Price: $24.99 USD – Available Here
ROKH is an open world survival game set on Mars. Players take on the role of an astronaut sent to the Red Planet after a series of nuclear blasts from the nuclear reactors destroy the planet’s settlements. With only the most basic supplies, players must scavenge and harvest resources from the planet to disable the out of control nuclear reactors and rebuild settlements for future colonization. The developers have built ROKH’s gameplay around the three pillars of crafting, survival, and exploration. The game is currently in alpha testing and is available through Steam Early Access.

In a market wildly oversaturated in survival games, it is hard to stand out. ROKH’s overarching story that ties the entire game together is likely one of the major features that will separate it from the rest of the pack. While the game is in alpha stages, players who explore the abandoned settlements will discover bits of writing left over by the now dead first wave settlers that tells tales from the last days before the nuclear blasts. I think it is a solid way to deliver a compelling story in an open world survival game.

ROKH builds its gameplay on three pillars: survival, exploration, and crafting. To start a game players choose a server to create a character on and select a viable drop zone in the top left corner of the map. They are dropped near a power station and some emergency supplies. The players are only given a few basic tools and parts to construct their first mining pick. The rest will be up to the player to scavenge and collect. The early game puts a lot of focus on exploration, as it is the only source of food, water, and oxygen until players can craft the requisite machinery to create a steady supply on their own.

As ROKH is set on a near future Mars, players have a few more things to worry about than the average survival game. Not only do players need to manage their health, hunger, and thirst, the space suit needs to be powered and players must maintain a steady supply of oxygen while keeping their radiation levels low. The increased number of survival needs provides an extra layer of challenge when it comes to building settlements and exploring long distances.

ROKH has a pretty beefy tech tree that will keep players busy for some time. There are lots of tools, building blocks, and machines to available to craft. Creating a sealed space is one of the first tasks for the budding colonist. An enclosed space can protect players from radiation if crafted from dense enough materials and can be pressurized with oxygen, allowing for players to save their oxygen tanks for adventuring outside. From there, players will jump into a world of tools and machines used to improve living spaces, provide the resources needed for survival, and manufacture items in bulk. I really like that tools can be crafted with optional parts to give the tool extra modifiers like increased durability or higher damage once more advanced tools are available.

There are different raw materials to scavenge on Mars. There are only a handful of in-game textures for harvestable material right now, so tracking down specific things for harvest takes a bit of memory work at this point. I like that the crafting system is very flexible about what raw materials it will accept. As long as the material meets minimum stat requirements, it will craft. On the flip side, repairing items can be a bit of a hassle as each component of the item needs to be repaired with whatever material it was crafted with. Alternatively, players can simple salvage damaged parts from broken tools and reuse the part later. The reuse philosophy fits well for the Martian setting, but I would have liked to see the game separate damaged parts from fresh ones by default, instead of putting them all in one stack. That way, players could have better control on what parts they plan on using for a new tool.

ROKH’s crafting experience needs a lot of work still as it is incredibly clunky. The crafting menu is scattered between individual tools held in the toolbelt. To craft a single simple tool from a raw material mined from the surface, players will need to equip and use two separate tools, each with its own crafting menu. More complex machinery can require three to four different tools to arrive at an end product. Making the system even more frustrating is the limitation to just five available slots in the toolbelt, forcing players to shuffle around items constantly. A much better system would be a single, unified menu that provides options based on the tools currently equipped on the belt. Additionally, increasing the toolbelt capacity to eight or even ten slots would go a long way as a quality of life enhancement.

The menus are awkward at times. There is no indication on the server browser as to what servers the player has characters on. Tools like the crowbar and the wrench will hold items in its crafting slot when the crafting menu is closed, instead of automatically returning the item to the inventory. Crafting multiple items requires everything to be done in a specific order, otherwise the game will spit out an error. Inventory management is simple right now and desperately needs an organize bag button to help clean up messy inventories.

Construction is a much better experience. The base construction material are tiles, which as its name suggests are small flat objects that create walls, floors, ceilings, and any other surface the player may need to build. These can be made from nearly anything, though the denser materials provide better protection from radiation. Putting down the first floor as it can be a little tricky to find the exact ground height. But once the first floor tile is laid down, building with tiles is very easy as everything snaps into place.

The controls in ROKH very much reflects its alpha testing status. Options are at the spartan side currently. Key bindings can be tweaked, but there is no option to modify the mouse options.

ROKH is clearly in its infancy and still has a long way to go before the game is ready for a full launch. The game’s emphasis on exploration with an overarching story to be discovered is an intriguing prospect. There are some good ideas floating around, but the user experience needs to be improved. Basic options for tweaking things like mouse sensitivity must be added soon. Menus need polishing to be more user friendly. The crafting system is in dire need of a rework due to its frustrating system of multiple tools and limited belt space. As with any early access title, the current state may not represent the end product when it is launched in twelve months time, but the current state of the game is not recommended for general play.

Bury me, my Love will be at Gamescom 2017

Paris, France, August 4th 2017 – Today, publisher Playdius and game developer The Pixel Hunt announced a publishing deal for the text-message-based game Bury me, my Love. Co-produced by ARTE and Figs and supported by the CNC, the game will be playable at the Gamescom 2017.

Bury me, my Love is a text-message-based game designed for handheld devices. It tells the story of Nour, a young Syrian woman who is leaving her homeland to find refuge in Europe. Majd, her husband, stayed back in Syria; through a messaging app, he is going to do his best to give her some directions so she can reach her destination safely.

Bury me, my Love is a “reality-inspired game,” a documented fiction which draws inspiration directly from real-world events. The original idea stems from an article written by Le Monde.fr journalist Lucie Soullier that tells the story of Dana, a young Syrian woman who fled her country and is now living in Germany.

“We are proud to work with The Pixel Hunt”, said Francis Ingrand, Plug In Digital & Playdius CEO. “The heart-warming relationship of the characters enclosed in a simple, yet beautifully designed game make of Bury me, my Love a wonderful experience”.

Bury me, my Love will be available in Q4 2017 on iOS and Android.

New The Evil Within 2 Dev Diary Explores Gameplay Styles and Horror

Bethesda released a brand new dev diary from the Bethesda Live Stage to talk about The Evil Within 2. The first part of the video explores some of the gameplay options open to players and how the game responds to the player’s decisions. The communicator device is new to the series that gives players multiple paths throughout the level that can reward players or lead them to their doom. The developers emphasized that they wanted to give players an experience where players can choose their favourite approach based on the tools available to them, whether they opt for a pure stealth approach or a more action focused kill them all assassin mindset.

Additionally, the character upgrade system has been overhauled to give players more flexibility. The old green gel system has been overhauled in the new game. Green gel is now only used to upgrade Sebastian, while new weapon parts are used to upgrade weapons. Content Manager Anne Lewis dives into more detail about some of the skills and upgrades available to Sebastian in a new feature on the Bethesda blog.

The video also touches on the types of horror in The Evil Within 2. While the game will still be full of gore, the writers have opted to focus on psychological horror as the story explores Sebastian as a character in much greater depth. Bethesda has released some creepy new artwork that is from Stefano’s gallery. The artwork is the basis for some of the horrors Sebastian will encounter in Union. Stefan’s gallery is set to be an actual in-game location, so its likely that the artwork is only a small preview of a much larger batch of work/ Much of it is definitely NSFW, but can be found at the Bethesda blog.

The Evil Within 2 is scheduled to launch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows on October 13.

For Honor Season 3 “Grudge & Glory” Kicks off on August 15

For Honor season two is winding down, which means season three is about to bring players new maps and heroes. Season three will officially begin on August 15th. The two new maps will be Sentinel and Viking Village. Both maps have deadly environmental hazards that will force players to be extra cautious while traversing the map. Both maps will be immediately available to all players at the start of season three on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows.

This season will introduce the Highlander hybrid to the Viking faction. The Highlander has a defensive form that specializes in counter attacks and an offensive form that disables the block ability in favour of massive attacks with the claymore sword. The Knights will also be getting a new Assassin class called the Gladiator. The Gladiator is styled after the Roman retiarius and wields a trident, but trades the traditional dagger and weighted net for a shield. The lightly armoured Gladiator has high stamina for raining quick attacks and stuns on their enemies from a formidable distance. For Honor Season Pass holders will be able to play the two new classes right away starting August 15th, while the rest of us will have to wait until August 22nd to purchase them for 15,000 steel each.

Season three is also bringing in a new tier of legendary gear and raising the reputation cap to 40. 1 vs 1 tournaments are also being introduced to the game. Tournament rankings will reset each season, and winners will get special rewards.

For Honor “Grudge & Glory” will make its debut at the livestreamed For Honor Hero Series tournament. The event is boasting a $10,000 USD prize pool. Viewers can tune in on Twitch on August 12 at 11 am PST.
