dungeon-hearts-01

Dungeon Hearts, the recent game from Cube Roots and Devolver Digital, has been unleashed on the world today for PC, Mac, and iPad.

But what, you may ask, is Dungeon Hearts? In a bid for what may one of the most unique combat mechanics in years, Dungeon Hearts blends the strategic combat of a roleplaying game with the frantic pace of a match-three puzzle game. The end result is a fascinating, imaginative, and challenging experience like nothing you’ve seen.

Players will combine dozens of different runes that flow along the never-ending Fatestream to unleash wild attacks and debilitating combos on anything in your past. You’ll unlock new abilities, spells, and special attacks along the way too.

The game is available now on Steam and the App Store right for the price of $2.99.  Also be sure to check out the trailer for the game below.

Vividred’s PS3 game officially named Vividred Operation: Hyper Intimate Power

vividred-operation-Hyper-Intimate-Power-scan

Today the latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation revealed that the official name for the upcoming Vividred Operation video game adaptation is Vividred Operation: Hyper Intimate Power. The game will be available as a digital title only and will be released in Japan on June 20th.

As you can see in the scan above (click image for slightly larger version) the game looks like it will feature all of the different girls from the anime, including the “Docked” forms that appear whenever Akane and one of her friends join together. Also shown in the scan is the mayonnaise based mini-game that was already released on the PSN for 300 yen.

Looks like we were caught off guard a bit here. Remember those Trophies that were revealed for that upcoming Vividred Operation video game from Namco Bandai? Well it turns out those were indeed Trophies for a Vividred game, but not for the main adaptation. Instead they were Trophies for a spin-off mini  game that is actually called Vividred Operation: Akane to Mayo to Operation.

As you can see from these screenshots, the game is very much a basic mini-game that only actually costs 300 yen on the Japanese PlayStation Network. The game was developed by Namco Bandai and it looks like the game itself mostly involves playing as Akane and just covering food with an entire bottle of mayonnaise.

Yitien-Launching-In-West

Reality Squared Games have announced that Yitien, a Chinese-themed browser game developed by Teamtop Games will be launching their beta phase on March 29th. This highly-anticipated RPG has been well received in China, and currently has 20 million total registered players with an average of 500,000 players logged in at once.

Yitien features elements from many different browser and client games in addition to several unique new gaming mechanics.The most interesting new feature that jumps out is titled the Grove of Valor. This is a unique event held at 8:15 PM every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. It is divided into three divisions based on character level and the 500 strongest players from each level division can fight in the Grove of Valor. Upon entering, players will begin fighting one another. Winning a battle earns 2 points and losing earns 1 point. Each player has 20 lives. The event will last until only one player is left standing. When the event ends, the player with the most points will be declared the winner and will receive EXP, items and a special title commemorating the players victory.

However, this is not the only new feature and the developers say that the beauty of Yitien is in its versatility and its variety. From more traditional, turn-based RPG battles to a multi-player arena to a familiar game called Rock, Paper, Scissors, they claim Yitien has it all.

Yitien will be one of the first games of its kind with an entirely Chinese theme to be released in the Western market. And the developers hope that Yitien will help to bridge the ever-shrinking gap between the East and West.
