It turned out to be an XP potion, which transformed the Devourer into a Foul Devourer - still squashy, still purple, but with much sturdier defence. I managed to recover some of the accidentally donated XP by lobbing a cheeky hex, but not enough to boost the stopping power of my homely pawnshop knife and pistol. So down I went in a pool of that special red serum the billionaires like to drink when they're feeling mortal. |

I love how well-rounded Gundam can be, as we end up with fantastic character development, social and political commentary, and incredibly cool mechs, and I'm delighted to report that playing Battle Suit Aces leaves me with the same sort of feeling as watching one of those anime series. The execution of its story in episodic chunks, lore surrounding the suits, dynamics between members of the team, and way in which we're playing out these mech battles with customized card decks feels like a love letter to types of storytelling and designs we'd see from Sunrise.
Heathcliff and his friend Felix were generally living in peace, with the former even about to adopt some kids and start a family. That dream dies when mysterious aliens known as the Frenzied attack the planet. However, it's because of that instance that the duo find what might be a means of fighting back. An ancient, extinct race known as the Pholians, which were wiped out by these Frenzied hunting down their energy, left behind relics and Relic Suit mechs. Heathcliff and Felix find one known as the Blue Crest. After bringing their find to the attention of the authorities, Heathcliff finds himself leading a new initiative known as Patchworks, with a growing crew on the USS Zephyr dedicated into investigating the Relic Suits, learning more about the Pholians, and fighting the Frenzied across the galaxy.
While Battle Suit Aces is a card game that involves recruiting pilot cards and collecting Drone and Command Captain ones to fight in battles against aliens and other opponents, the execution of the story embraces concepts from anime. Missions and portions of the plot follow an episodic style structure, complete with one of the voice actors for the crew members reading the titles for that segment out ahead of each one. While there are supplemental side quests for extra materials and faction points during each and opportunities to craft or speak with people on the ship during each part, meaning they might not always feel short, it helps with maintaining a flow and allowing opportunities for natural breaks. Since some of these segments can be more lighthearted, such as sparring with members of a faction who might help you learn more about the Relic Suits and improve them or attending a starball, as well as more serious, it lends itself to idea of feeling like full seasons or cours rather than one straightforward campaign.
The nature of the Battle Suit Aces characters and their relationships, as well as how they handle piloting suits, gave me Gundam vibes as well. There are serious undertones running through things, what with Heathcliff's peaceful hopes dashed as the series begins, Felix being an enthusiastic pilot with an unexpected and immediate connection to the Blue Crest, and the wide range of personalities and experiences with these individuals. The dynamics between individuals are interesting and aren't surface-level, as we start to actually investigate folks' paths and see how some do (or don't) always get along with one another. Once we get to recruitment, the situations usually involve multiple individuals and not being able to be get everyone we want, so you really need to pick and then see what they bring between battles.
That sort of relationship almost seems mirrored in the actual battles themselves. The pilots and their suits feel like the main priority, due to the amount of health they have, damage they can deal, ways they attack, and special skills they unleash. For example, Yan is in the U-TECH2 and, when she attacks, deals damage to the card directly opposing her and the enemy life bar. Considering your goal is to lay out your five cards in the five spots ahead of you, moving when needed, to block enemy shots and vice versa, that's handy for wiping out a minion and working on decreasing your main opponent's HP so you can win. Daciana and Jaeger both do AOE attacks against groups of enemies with the U-TANK20 and U-JET8. Meanwhile, Felix is a heavy hitter with the Blue Crest and also comes with rather high HP. And if you get Mirabell from the Tvashtr Suitsmiths Faction, then when she attacks she'll grant armor to allies nearby to help with survivability. Depending on who you deploy, their skills and natures can help support each other and determine your strategies. Drones, meanwhile, are less powerful placeholders who can keep attacks from getting through an empty spot and deal some damage, while played Captain Command cards can immediately attack.
The fights in Battle Suit Aces will feel familiar if you've played similar sorts of strategic card games in the past. Every match starts with the player and their opponent each having 30 health and five slots for cards in front of them. Cards are played in these positions. You gain energy each turn, and each card's attack will need some to be used. So not everyone deployed will take action that turn, but simply by existing in a space might be blocking an enemy attack and protecting your overall health. After an opponent's turn, however, the strength icon for their cards that will attack on their next turn will be highlighted so you will know where to block. Your goal is to survive each round and whittle down your enemy's health until they are defeated.
What surprised me about Battle Suit Aces, in a good way mind you,is that it doesn't hold back! While the first two battles are tutorial ones that go rather easy on you, the one against the Frong Queen is genuinely tricky! It's designed to help you learn how pilots can work well together, with Daciana and Belmot facing off against hostile native creatures, and it helps set the tone that yes, this is a game that requires you to be smart. It's not uneven in any way. I feel like it's a good challenge though that rewards you for playing pilots and drones that complement each other.
I also didn't expect as much customization as there is in Battle Suit Aces. As you go through fights both in mainline missions and optional assignments, you get materials you can use in the Workshop. These can be used in suit mod slots, which can be opened up immediately or by completing specific ambitions for allies with certain actions in fights, to offer bonuses or even passives. This allows you to really play into strategies you enjoy most by improving the pilots you feel work best with your approaches. And things like the optional battles and Sim Chamber let you test that. Likewise, if you do put extra time in on bonus missions, you see your Faction points grow and more recruit options open up to bolster your deck.
I appreciate the execution in Battle Suit Aces and how it prioritizes characters and stories, resulting in a game that reminds me of Gundam series in the best ways. The card-based combat system encourages investment in factions and incentivizes additional missions so you can build up your characters. It also sends you into battles that can make you think, even early on, so it feels genuinely satisfying when you discover card combinations that work for you. I really appreciate the story it tells and how Trinket Studios told it.
Battle Suit Aces will come to the Switch, PS5, and PC on October 7, 2025.

Shueisha announced that it has delayed the release of the Dragon Ball Double Cover Box. Originally slated for release on February 4, 2026, the new compilation of the original manga series will instead be available roughly two months later on April 3, 2026.
The pre-order window for the compilation ran from May 2025 to early August 2025. But even with the limited period, Shueisha still received an overwhelming amount of pre-orders that exceeded its expectations. The company cited that as the main reason for it to require more time to produce more copies to satisfy all orders.
The Dragon Ball Double Cover Box will consist of four boxes containing the complete set of the original manga's 42-volume series that began in late 1984 and concluded in mid-1995. The stories in this series were adapted to two separate-but-continuous anime shows: Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z.
The Double Cover Box will also feature new covers for all volumes included inside. The front covers will still feature original illustrations by the late Akira Toriyama, but the back covers will newly feature the alternate Super Gallery illustrations drawn by other artists, such as One Piece's Eiichiro Oda and Slam Dunk's Takehiko Inoue. In addition, the box will come with eight bookmarks featuring Toriyama's illustrations.
The delayed Dragon Ball Double Cover Box, containing the full 42-volume set, will now be available in Japan on April 3, 2026.

Premium Bandai will open up pre-orders for a replica of the Kingdom Chain Keyblade from Kingdom Hearts, which is designed to be a replica for Sora cosplayers and fans of the series. The Keyblade will cost 9900 JPY ($65.85). Pre-orders will be available from October 10, 2025 to December 1, 2025. Premium Bandai will ship out the product in March 2026.
Premium Bandai does not offer international shipping, and the replica does not appear on the English version of the website. This means that overseas customers will need to use a proxy service to purchase the toy. However, it isn't uncommon for the proplica replicas like this to sometimes appear on stores like Amazon.
The Kingdom Hearts Kingdom Chain replica is 50 centimeters long in total. It's a faithful recreation of the original weapon from the game. It can produce sound effects and emit light from the tip of the Kingdom Chain in Magic Mode, which lets you cast spells. The more powerful the spell, the brighter the light. You can also put it into Music Mode. In Music Mode, the Keyblade will either play "Dearly Beloved" or "Sora."
Here is a video showing off the toy:
For people who want a Kingdom Hearts weapon replica but aren't keen on the Kingdom Chain or a Sora cosplay, Square Enix also announced a replica of Donald Duck's Mage's Staff. It will also cost 9900 JPY ($65.85), and will come out in Japan on January 24, 2026.
The Kingdom Chain replica Keyblade toy from Kingdom Hearts will open for pre-order on October 10, 2025, and it'll come out in March 2026.

Delta Force is an online-only title, and getting the Login Failed error can be a nightmare.

While the developers Team Jade have tried to patch the issue, it keeps repeating for many. Here's a workaround that works for me every time I get the error.
The game will create a new file when you create it, which should prevent the ID 4/35 error from popping up again on your new session. If it happens, complete the process from the start, and it should be alright. However, make sure to try out the following steps first.
There's plenty going on in Delta Force following the start of the first anniversary on Sep. 26. If you're looking to obtain the new Arknights collab skins, you'll have to get Ark Force cards. With these cards, you could win plenty of items for your account.

Destructoid, I am super confused right now after glancing at social media and seeing Nintendo post a random, four-minute-long 3D animation about a toddler chasing a moving pacifier, to the point that I had to discuss it.
The animation has appeared out of nowhere, and reading the comments, I can tell I am not the only one confused. It follows an infant chasing down a pacifier with the title "Close to You." And for a split second, I honestly thought that Nintendo had been hacked. If not for the big red Nintendo logo at the end, giving it away.
I honestly don't even know where to begin with this, because I genuinely thought that the Nintendo account had been hacked and some kind of AI video put up, because the Sora stuff lately has warped my perception of what is real or not. But I have to wonder what on earth Nintendo is trying to tease here, if anything?
Could it be a new device like the Alarma stuff recently? Could it be a tease? Heck, at this point, I'll assume it is a brand new Pokémon Legends Z-A tease. Anything feels possible right now. Some comments have also highlighted that the colors of the child could relate to Rosalina, and even then, I have no idea what to make of this trailer.
This isn't the first time Nintendo has dropped a random trailer that tells us nothing before doing some big reveal days or even hours later, so for now, I'm going to wait until more pieces of the puzzle reveal themselves.
But what do you think is going on? Please let me know in the comments below, as I really don't have a clue.

The October 2025 PS Plus Extra game is reportedly the Silent Hill 2 remake, released on Oct. 8, 2024, on PlayStation and Steam. The report comes from reliable leaker billbil-kun from Dealabs, who claims Silent Hill 2 will be available for Extra and Deluxe subscribers on Oct. 21.
The one-year console exclusivity period for Silent Hill 2 is about to expire, which is likely one of the reasons why Sony is adding the game to PS Plus Extra. It's unclear whether the game will be announced for Xbox or the Nintendo Switch 2 anytime soon, but this potential move by Sony shows the company is trying to capitalize further on the title before it has to start competing with other consoles.
The timing of this potential announcement is also really convenient for Sony. Silent Hill f was released two weeks ago to a great Metacritic score of 86, the same score as Silent Hill 2. Destructoid's Silent Hill f review says the game "invites you into a brutal internal battle with friendship, mystery, paranoia, and regret."
The hype around the franchise is still there, so players who missed the 2024 remake and don't want to spend on the new title could enjoy a game from the series right now, when everyone is talking about it.
The game would join Alan Wake 2, Goat Simulator 3, and Cocoon on the list of games being added to the service, though these three are already confirmed and will also be available for PS Plus Essential subscribers. A free trial of Midnight Murder Club will also be available.
The PS Plus October 2025 games lineup is expected to go live later today, October 7. If Silent Hill 2 is on the list, we will get a confirmation from Sony soon.

The best Champions in Champions Summon Your Team depend on whether you want a strong team for progression, farming, Ogre hunt or Dragon hunt. Each mode has its own best units and I'll guide you through a tier list for all modes. Here's my complete Champions Summon Your Team tier list for progression, Ogre hunts and Dragon hunts.
Table of contents
Champions Summon Your Team Progression Tier List
The best Champions in the game for progression, clearing and farming up to World 6 are those that can deal fast burst damage or have fast aggressive support effects. This is because for W1 to W6 progression, it's better to kill enemies as fast as possible so they lose their turns. Actual RPG trio mechanics for DPS/Tank/Support come more into play for the Ogre and Dragon raids which I'll cover below. For now, focus on the best damage you have, that's why the healer priest trio and other supports are so low. That said, they shine in S-Tiers for the Dragon/Ogre raids as you'll see later. Below I'll dive into the best Champions in Champions Summon Your Team individually.
Best Champions for Progression
Second Best Champions for Progression
Third Best Champions for Progression
Champions Summon Your Team Ogre Tier List
The S and A-Tiers here have the best Champions for the Ogre hunt. The tier list is specialized to exploit weaknesses, for single-target damage and the best Ogre debuffs. Healers are much more important here than for progression so the priestess trio is at the top. Sword Dancer is better than Inferno Demon here in my opinion due to better single-target damage. Shield Bearer is one of the best tanks here along with the druid. The goblin duo is there for the combo potential and utility.
Champions Summon Your Team Dragon Tier List
Similar to the Ogre raid, for Dragon hunt the best units are the healers to keep your team alive. Unlike for progression they're a must-have here. The tier list is designed to exploit weaknesses so the Frost Archfiend has better DPS here than Inferno. The Lethal Kunoichi is actually OP here along with Steadfast Protector for speed buffs. That said, the healers are better supports overall for Dragon. The druid and the Dwarven Monarch are the best tanks by far due to their abilities and element.
Lastly, check out the random tips below in the FAQ section and that's it for my Champions Summon Your Team tier list for progression, Ogre hunt and Dragon hunt. Stay tuned to our Roblox guides for more.
Champions Summon Your Team FAQ
How to get awakened Champions in Champions Summon Your Team? You have to boost your luck with luck potions and summon on World 6's last summon circle. Farm Luck Potions via clearing rewards from W6 boss, the Arena Shop (3 times per week), the Crystal Shop in Lobby World, the Gold Shop and Robux purchases. What are awakened Champions? These are your upgraded versions of the regular Champions with stars that grant them better stats, the ability to upgrade them and new abilities at certain start levels. What is the best Champion in Champions Summon Your Team? Inferno Demon does the most AOE damage/cleave, Blade Dancer does the most single-target damage and Steadfast Protector and the priest ladies are excellent supports. What are the best boss strategies? You need to worry about two things for bosses. First is the elemental synergies which you can check by approaching a boss and looking at their element. Bring Champions to exploit elemental weaknesses so alter your team like for example even though Inferno Demon is the best AOE DPS don't bring him against bosses that are strong against Fire. The second part is gear and farming so farm Gold and crafting materials for the best summons and best gear on your main DPS. Is there auto-summoning? No, not currently.
