Shards of War: New Map and a Host of New Gameplay Features

Shards of War: New Map and a Host of New Gameplay Features

Today’s update to Shards of War, the first sci-fi game in the MOBA genre, expands the battlefield and brings new acoustic dimensions to each fight.
 
The update introduces the game’s second map, giving players a whole new world to battle for. With Decima, the game’s 18th Sentinel, players have a new character to fight with as well. During combat, the interactive music system reacts to what’s happening, increasing the drama and tension for all players.
 
New MOBA Map – Meridian Gate

Meridian Gate is a rooftop battlefield spanning multiple buildings at the heart of the Prime Shard, home of Sentinels like Gemini and Striker. On this map the headquarters, drones, and towers have all been re-designed to match the branding of two corporate rivals: Aether and the Spiral Directive. While the ultimate goal remains the same (to destroy the enemy’s HQ), there are also a number of new gameplay mechanics:
 
Battery Drones: Traveling down a set path, Battery Drones make an ideal and rewarding target for players. Each destroyed drone delivers a charge. Once three charges have been gathered, players can enable their team’s Mech Suit.
 
The Mech Suit: This powerful suit can be piloted by players, giving them access to new skills as well as the Mech Suit’s primary weapon: a devastating cannon. Mech Suits deal extra damage to towers, and can silence and disarm enemy Sentinels.
 
Battery Drones and Mech Suits are both optional objectives. Deciding when to tackle them, and what to do once the Mech Suit is unlocked, will form a key pillar of each team’s strategy to attack the enemy base.
 
New Sentinel: Decima

Shards of War´s 18th Sentinel is out now! Decima is a life-saving support character who also packs a punch of her own. Moreover, her satellite enables Decima to control the battlefield while dealing constant damage to “marked” enemies.
 
Precision is not always Decima´s main objective. However, both the ‘Morning Star’ and ‘Higher Calling’ skills let her focus on individual targets. The first marks single enemies, making them a target for her satellite. The latter shields allies, allowing them to slow enemies and deal additional damage.
 
Her true strength lies in helping her teammates to survive and destroy their enemies. ‘Dawn Hammer’ calls down a burst of light that stuns all enemies in the area. It can be used alongside ‘Helio Scan’, which marks all hostile Sentinels in the area, making them targets of her satellite’s orbital attacks. Her ultimate, ‘Daughter of the Light,’ can change the course of a battle by healing all allied Sentinels in the target area.
 
Interactive Music System

Shards of War now goes beyond the traditional in-game music seen in other MOBAs—songs that are static, and on an infinite loop. With the launch of the second map, a brand new music system has been implemented, which adapts what the player hears according to the situation.
 
When a team is struggling and losing ground, the music changes to a tense and darker variation. If the tide turns, the track becomes much more uplifting and motivating. The more towers the team destroys, and the lower the enemy headquarter’s energy bar gets, the more dynamic and upbeat the music becomes.
 
“The music is reacting directly and in numerous variations to what happens in Shards of War”, says Bastian Seelbach, Audio Lead at Bigpoint. “This makes the gameplay much more intense and lets the music reflect and push the player actions.”

Brave Trials Mobile Review: It Shows Promise, but Fails to Deliver

Brave Trials Mobile Review

One of the things I like about the free to play mobile market is that it reminds me of Newgrounds, the popular social media website where people upload indie flash games and movies. Though most often lacking in original material, the community often creates and shares creative variations of existing content to present their own unique take on it.

Since almost any gameplay concept is fair game (and with the added notion of earning money), the free to play mobile market has followed the Newgrounds model for a time – to the point of cancer wherein there are a shameless number of repackages and reskins of particular game types with no real characteristic uniqueness in the hope of cashing in on the hype and milking whoever comes along to try the game.

However, there are still titles and developers trying to make a hackneyed game idea their own – those, even with humble graphics and effects, try to bring back the days where just slightly tweaking already proven games can give you new and simple experiences. Brave Trials is one of those games.

 

 

Overall

Brave Trials is a real time 2D action MMORPG developed by IGG. It’s a dungeon brawler beat em up type with RPG classes and a partner and pet system. To start you off, the game lets you choose a character out of the three available job classes – a swordsman who specializes in close range combat and damage absorption, the rogue with considerably higher attack damage but lower resistance, and the mage that specializes in long range multi-hitting spells. Each job class comes in both genders with slight tweaks, making a total of 6 characters to choose from.

The premise of the game is that the player has the unique ability of being able to use Faen, magical creatures that assist your characters in battle. You are then tasked to travel across the land, completing trials to save your kidnapped friend along with the rest of the village from the clutches of evil, killing hordes of monsters in the process. Obviously we’re not here for the plot.

Brave Trials Mobile Review

When you’re in town, the game plays like a typical browser-based MMORPG. The entire town is a lobby wherein you’ll see most other players’ avatars running around or in an idle state. The game follows the auto-pilot quest system, wherein you merely tap on the prompt and your character will automatically go wherever he or she needs to go.

Brave Trials Mobile Review

Though I’m not one for lazying it up for faster and simpler gameplay, it’s actually quite convenient as the chibi style of characters and the way the screen is mostly packed makes for harder manual navigation (which you can still do). As a result, I imagine most will be welcoming towards the auto-questing to get between points. Don’t take this as a compliment, as it’s clearly an interface issue, but at least an interface issue with a convenient work around. You don’t have to dwell on that much though as there really isn’t anything much to do in town anyway (another glaring drawback) besides prep yourself for battle through managing your inventory and Faen.

Battles

In battle, your controls are the same as in most mobile action games. D-pad on the left corner, one big attack button to the right. Repeatedly tapping the attack button unleashes your character’s default attack combo. You are also capable of performing any of your character’s 3 signature skills at any point in battle. These skills consume MP and have their own individual cooldown timers, so you can’t really spam and abuse them. Each stage is often cleared just by clearing the map of all enemies within a set period of time.

Brave Trials Mobile Review

As the game goes on, enemies spawn more, get tankier, and move faster. Trials becomes, in theory, a game of how efficiently you can use your skills and attack patterns to optimize your dungeon time. In practice though, having the best equipment and Faen means your skills can falter while still maintaining legendary clear times.

Besides leveling up and getting better equipment along the way, your only real measure of growth is how strong your Faen is. You collect them in your journeys, until you reach capacity and start feeding weaker Faen to power up your core Faen. Faen are also available in varying rarities – higher stars obviously meaning more powerful pets.

Brave Trials Mobile Review

And since your character doesn’t really grow that much as your attack patterns and skills stay the same, the game is roughly making the players focus on collecting, growing, and maybe purchasing said pets. At first, it would seem that the Faen are just additional attack support, which is nice.

Yet there comes a point wherein you have to depend on them for actual damage. A Faen’s growth rate is a lot faster than the player’s since it only needs manual feeding as opposed to the character’s experience grinding. In the end, the Faen is your major focus limiting progression, since without it you won’t keep up with the challenge expected of you for unique events or level-appropriate gaming.

Conclusion: Fair

As for the look, Brave Trials looks like an art project thrown in together by some college students to pass as a thesis – you know they tried, but along the way, it just fell through and was just rushed in the end to make the deadline. That, or it looks like a DeviantArt collab. It’s simple and cutesy, but very inconsistent, and I guess what mattered to them was simply getting the game up and running. Polish update set as a TBD.

But despite all the flaws and lacking polish of the game, Brave Trials tries to be its own brand with a simple yet unique take on the hackneyed format. As I’ve said, it’s very reminiscent of Newgrounds’ peak days of simple but ingenuous creative discovery.

So even if Brave Trials won’t be winning any gaming awards anytime soon, the game is still worth a download and some time for those simply looking for some simple action RPG fun.

Archlord 2 releases Guild Battles

Archlord 2 releases Guild Battles

WEBZEN, a global developer and publisher of free-to-play games, is delighted to announce that the PvP-focused MMORPG Archlord 2 just released its new content update focused on Guild Battles.
 
Starting today, new exciting features are available in Archlord 2, with the action-packed Guild Battles and a new area, El Dorado, in which characters from all levels can confront challenging new monsters in a limited timeframe for bountiful rewards.
 
Being part of a guild will now be even more rewarding, as the new update focuses on the highly anticipated Guild Battles, a weekly confrontation pitting guilds of the same faction against one another to vie for domination over specific territories with precious benefits at stake.
 
Each week, guilds can enter one of the five guild battle areas for their faction, trying to wrestle ownership of that area away from its current owner. Although only one guild will be defending a given territory, members of multiple guilds can participate as attackers. The goal is to seize a strategically important stronghold by capturing a relic, located within the stronghold and protected by thick walls. Strategy and teamwork will be paramount for victory, as only a guild master can capture the relic. Should they succeed, their guild will then become the new defending guild of the territory and a new phase of battle is initiated. The roles of the teams will change again if another guild is successful in capturing the relic. The winner of the battle will be the guild controlling the relic at the end of the battle. For a week, until the next round of guild battles starts, guild members will be able to use special skills and have access to discounts at NPC vendors and craftsmen within the borders of their new territory which may prove invaluable in their future battles.
 
As the name suggests, El Dorado will be both a zone of challenge and abundance for new and seasoned players. Available several times a day through the week, characters will have 30 minutes to kill the hundreds of much sought-after Golden Monsters in this new instance. In order to ensure maximum enjoyment from this instance, there will be no level restriction for the participants, nor any possible encounters with the opposite faction.
