BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle, the new fighting game from Dragon Ball FighterZ developer Arc System Works, combines elements of the developer’s past work on the BlazBlue and Persona Arena series with guests from French Bread’s Under Night In-Birth and the popular RWBY web series. All these characters from games past team up and square off in speedy, chaotic tag-team battles where all four fighters are often on the screen at once. It sounds like a lot of game to take in — and it looks like a lot, on the screen — but BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle boasts a much simpler learning curve than earlier, significantly more demanding entries in the BlazBlue series. While the fighting isn’t as simplified as in Dragon Ball FighterZ, it’s pretty close: Mashing the two basic attack buttons will still unleash flashy combos.

Moonlighter may look adorable, but there are a ton of systems at work, and newcomers can easily be overwhelmed. Lucky for you we’re already up and running with a thriving ol’ time fantasy shoppe, and we’re more than happy to share our wealth of knowledge. Just not our actual wealth. THE BASIC LOOP EXPLAINED It’s best to think of Moonlighter as two games in one. The first game is a pretty typical top-down dungeon crawler. You’ll explore dungeons, kill monsters, rescue items from chests and feel pretty damn good about yourself. In most games you’d simply earn experience and gold as you killed monsters, becoming stronger along the way. But Moonlighter is not most games! Instead of simply earning money in dungeons, you’ll have to take the items you find back to town to sell to other would-be adventurers. This is where the “second game” comes in. When you start off, you’ll have no idea what to charge for the variety of items you … [Read more...] about Moonlighter beginner’s guide

Pokémon Quest brings you to Tumblecube Island where you’ll explore, meet some Pokémon friends, cook for them, and fight their wild counterparts. From the voxel art to the mobile game design, it’s probably a bit different than you’d expect. Here’s what you should know before getting started. It’s a mobile game The first thing you need to know about Pokémon Quest is that it’s mobile game. It doesn’t play like a console game (let alone like a Pokémon game), and it follows the design conventions of mobile games. And what that means is there’s a lot of waiting. Going on Expeditions — resource-gathering and wild Pokémon-fighting excursions into the world of Tumblecube Island — relies on your drone’s battery (more on Expeditions below). To start, it’s got enough of a charge to go on five trips, and it recharges one trip’s worth every 30 real-world minutes. When you cook a dish (more on … [Read more...] about Pokémon Quest beginner’s guide
