For a while there, Square Enix Montreal (later rebranded to Onoma) were making some of the best mobile puzzle games of all time. Hitman Go, Lara Croft Go and Deus Ex Go were three of the slickest, most challenging games you could play on your phone, and all have gone down as classics of the genre. Sadly, one of them…

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the new monster-collecting RPGs from Game Freak, have been getting dragged since they launched on November 18 for objectively terrible technical performance that is only outshone by the immense number of glitches. (At least one bug is good: It lets you hunt for shiny Pokémon more easily).…

God of War Ragnarök just came out, and yet, there appears to be some hopefulness around the action-adventure game getting DLC. 2018's God of War didn't get any sort of expansion after launch, so why this follow-up would when it's supposed to conclude the rebooted series is a little odd. But now, game director Eric…

     Warhammer 40K: Darktide is on

There's an update out now for the Warhammer 40K: Darktide early access beta that fixes various crashes and bugs that have popped up since the grimdark co-op game became available to players who pre-ordered. Developer Fatshark says it is still "far from happy" with where stability and performance are in Darktide, but that the data generated by thousands of beta players has put things on "a good trajectory to have a stable game" when Darktide officially launches November 30.

Valve have been awarded a patent for a new virtual reality motion controller. It looks a lot like the Meta Quest controllers, with a ring design at its top rather than the flat face of the previous Valve Index motion controllers. Its inclusion could be a further suggestion that Valve's next headset will be standalone, without the need to be plugged into a PC.

Colony sim RimWorld added ideologies in an expansion last year, prompting Nate to force drifters to knife-fight a unicorn (among other things). There have been other RimWorld expansions however, and while each has added a substantial new chunk of content, those systems have previously been unable to interact with each other.

That changed with RimWorld 1.4, which adds "cross-expansion integration", so now you can use the ideology system from the Ideology expansion to, for example, tell stories about people who have ideologies about the biotech from the biotech expansion.

fire emblem engage engage system

Nintendo revealed more information on the story and battle system of Fire Emblem Engage. There is also a video to see how the 12 Emblem Rings will work. When you use a ring, you can summon an iconic hero from the past games, as well as use their power in combat. You can equip a Hero to your character and synchronize with them.

Each Ring has a hero attached to it. When you synchronize a character to a Ring, your character will get a boost to their stats. You can also get some new skills. Aside from equipping them, the two can fuse together to create a more powerful unit. This is the Engage system. When Alear and Marth Engage, Alear's equipment will change and they also get two new skills.

You can watch the Emblem Ring trailer for Fire Emblem Engage here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc8Dc_B4184&

In total, there will be 12 Emblem Rings, and Nintendo shared information on 6 of them:

Marth (Hikaru Midorikawa)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHBQJegLpD4

Marth will be the first Ring that Alear will get to use. Marth will specialize in multiple fast attacks, with Star Rush having a bonus for Manakete characters.

Sigurd (Toshiyuki Morikawa)

[gallery columns="2" ids="941038,941039" link="file"]

When you Engage with Sigurd, how much of the map you can cover will increase. The Overdrive Engage Skill will also attack enemies in a line and move the character across the map.

Celica (Nao Toyama)

[gallery columns="2" ids="941040,941041" link="file"]

Celica's Engage Skill will let her use a magic attack twice per turn at the cost of cutting the damage by half. This is most useful for when there are two enemies at the map with only a little bit of HP left. She can also warp to a distant enemy regardless of the terrain and deal a powerful magical attack.

Byleth (Yusuke Kobayashi)

[gallery columns="2" ids="941042,941043" link="file"]

Byleth is a good support character who can raise others' stats. His Engage Skill Gambit: The Goddess's Dance will let him power up and revitalize adjacent characters (up to 4 at a time). Like a Dancer's Dance, they will be able to move again even if they already did that turn.

Corrin (Satomi Sato)

[gallery columns="2" ids="941044,941045" link="file"]

Like Byleth, Corrin is a support who can manipulate the terrain. These can debuff the enemy

Lyn (Makiko Ohmoto)

[gallery columns="2" ids="941046,941047" link="file"]

Lyn will be a powerful hero who can attack from any distance. Her Engage Skill lets her create duplicates of herself that can serve as decoys, and they can also support an attack. Her other Engage Skill lets her attack five times from a distance.

Aside from information on the Emblem Heroes, Nintendo has also released a detailed relationship chart on the Fire Emblem Engage original characters. Diamant and Alcryst, who Nintendo introduced the other day, are also on the chart.

Fire Emblem Engage will come to the Nintendo Switch on January 20, 2023. It is available to pre-order in the eShop.

World II World

Aniplex and RPG Time: The Legend of Wright developer DeskWorks are working on a new mobile RPG: World II World (pronounced "World To World"). To promote it, the companies have released the first in a series of world-building trailers to introduce players to the game's setting. Of key importance is the separation between the game's two worlds [Thanks, Famitsu!].

Check out the trailer below. It lays out the premise of the story, as well as showing off some of the game's graphics and character designs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-1CUUaHxxU

The concept of having two worlds in World II World is woven into the very format of its structure. The game plays out over two screens arranged vertically on the player's device screen. Players will be able to manipulate characters in each "world" screen independently, watching cutscenes and engaging in battles on each screen in turn. Sometimes one character on the top screen will be battling, while the other on the bottom screen converses or explores.

The game's setting hinges on the separation of the two worlds: One floating in the sky and ruled by the robotic "Machina", and another scrabbling below, populated by humans, called "Labor". The story begins when a Labor boy named Fujoh encounters a Machina girl named LA-CCA. The two form a bond, and even exchange "parts", with Fujoh and LA-CCA trading mechanical forearms.

The World II World trailer also introduces other characters from the different worlds, with differing art styles to distinguish their respective environments. The Machina characters have a smooth, android-like appearance, while the Labor characters sport bulky cybernetic enhancements and more mechanical-looking gear.

World II World is in development for iOS and Android, with an expected debut in Japan during Winter 2022 and 2023.

     Pokemon Scarlet Violet how to Auto Battle Open WorldUpon making your way to the Los Platos Pokémon Center and talking with your rival Nemona during the First Day of School quest, you will learn the ropes of the Auto Battle feature in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. By hitting 'R' while out exploring, you will activate what the games call the "Let's Go" feature, which essentially brings one of your Pokémon out into the field. From there, your Pokémon will automatically fight nearby wild Pokémon and pick up items scattered throughout the open world. It makes for a handy quality-of-life feature, for sure. If you want to know about how to Auto Battle in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, we'll explain, but you need to know a few things first. First of all, pressing R will only bring out the first partner Pokémon in your current party, so be sure to set your team up appropriately. Secondly, the outcome of an Auto Battle depends on both the level and type of your Pokémon, so you will need to pick your fights...

     How To G Walk In Modern Warfare 2 Warzone 2Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Warzone 2 have received an incredible numbers of players hopping into the action. Multiplayer battles have been expectedly fierce, and players have been trying to gain any advantages they can over one another. One of the biggest current advantages is a new Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 movement trick called the 'G-Walk.' Using the G-Walk in multiplayer offers a clear advantage and it's not hard to understand why. The exploit allows players to rapidly shift between prone and standing positions while skipping the animations in between. This can make it seem as if players are sprinting while still low to the ground, making them extremely difficult to shoot. The trick was supposedly found by a group known as "EuphoriaDream" and shared online. How to G-Walk in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 The group in question hasn't provided any tutorials on how they perform the trick, but that won't prevent players from trying t...
