New Atelier game revealed via Famitsu, 4th entry in the Arland series

Posted on 6 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in General Gaming, News | 0 comments

Preview images of this week’s Famitsu magazine have appeared online, and they have revealed that a new game in the Atelier series is under development at Koei Tecmo and Gust. Specifically, this game will be the fourth entry in the Arland series of games – the first three games conveniently were recently re-released as deluxe versions on Nintendo Switch in Japan, with a Western release coming up on December 4th. Not much was revealed other than the teaser image you can see above, although Famitsu does point out that a new scene was present in the DX version of Atelier Meruru, which already teased that a new game in the series is coming:

Technically we don’t know yet if this new game will be on Nintendo Switch, but given Koei Tecmo’s support for the system, we’d be surprised if it wasn’t. We should have more information once we get our hands on the full version of Famitsu tomorrow.

Now that we’ve received Hyrule Warriors and Fire Emblem Warriors, maybe audiences are ready for the series that inspired them. Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition DX launches physically and digitally in Japan on December 27. No Western release date was announced. Similar games were only ever released in Japan, so no guarantee it ever gets one.

[Review] Warriors Orochi 4

Posted on 6 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments

System: Switch
Release date: October 16, 2018
Developer: Omega Force
Publisher: Koei Tecmo

The Warriors series spans decades across a multitude of eras, spinoffs, and properties, and has become a cornerstone in what it means to have feel-good hack-and-slash gameplay that’s as fun as it is memorable and unique. Warriors Orochi itself – a crossover between the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors series – is over ten years old now, and with each new entry has come new mechanics, more playable characters, and a story that’s as wacky as it is over-the-top with its action prowess. Warriors Orochi 4 has its biggest roster yet, spanning 170 characters across both series each with their own era, specialty, class, weapon, and fighting style. The biggest difference between this and other entries, however, is the inclusion of magic, which really helps to change things up and introduce a fresh and exciting way to execute moves and combos out on the battlefield.
