Pocket Gamer RSS Feed3 min read(5 months ago)

Overview & Key Takeaways

I've been on a bit of a Total War kick lately, with classics such as Medieval II and Rome: Total War (which are also available on mobile). So my tastes in real-time strategy are a bit up there at the moment, which is why the upcoming release of Order of Kings has caught my eye. Set to drop March 27th, if you're not familiar with Order of Kings from our previous coverage, then here are the basics. Order of Kings offers up familiar 4X action set in the ever-popular Three Kingdoms period of China's history, featuring the omnipresent cast of characters and famous figures at your beck and call. ...

  • Order of Kings is set to launch later this month with a distinct blend of 4X and RTS
  • Duke it out in battles on the field with real-time collision and battlefield mechanics
  • Now, its launch has been confirmed to include various rewards and server opening events

I've been on a bit of a Total War kick lately, with classics such as Medieval II and Rome: Total War (which are also available on mobile). So my tastes in real-time strategy are a bit up there at the moment, which is why the upcoming release of Order of Kings has caught my eye.

Set to drop March 27th, if you're not familiar with Order of Kings from our previous coverage, then here are the basics. Order of Kings offers up familiar 4X action set in the ever-popular Three Kingdoms period of China's history, featuring the omnipresent cast of characters and famous figures at your beck and call.

At launch, Order of Kings is also set to get the usual suite of events and launch bonuses. But where it differs is in its real-time battles as, in famous Total War fashion (see, that mention makes sense now, eh?) Order of Kings makes your battles far more interactive than just seeing who has the bigger number to throw at each other.

Order up

Of course, you may be a little bit sceptical about jumping into Order of Kings despite this. But one of the little tidbits we've been told is that there are some major plans in the offing for its launch later this month, not least being launch gifts and a series of events to mark its arrival on mobile.

It's certainly a good reason to check in if you're sceptical, although they're a little vague on what these events may contain. I'd bet plenty in the way of growth boosts and bonuses to help early adopters get an edge. So if you are looking to try something different, it's well worth digging in when Order of Kings launches.

Heroic Legends Reborn is the product of two brothers rebuilding an MMO from the ground up

We all get nostalgic for games which other people seem to overlook. For me, it's Two Worlds (yeah, I know), and for two brothers, it's the now fifteen-year-old MMO Heroic Legends! So, what do you do when that game has disappeared? Well, if you're like them, you rebuild it yourself. With blessings from the original creators and access to the artwork used to create the hand-painted MMO, two brothers known as SonOfBoo and Andepher have recreated Heroic Legends from the ground up. Rechristened as Heroic Legends Reborn, it's slated to arrive on iOS and Android on September 5th. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/heroic-legends-reborn/coming-soon/)

Nintendo’s War On Switch Emulators Continues With 400 More GitHub Takedowns🍄 Nintendo Switch, Mobile, Multi-platform

Nintendo’s War On Switch Emulators Continues With 400 More GitHub Takedowns

Nintendo is doing what Nintendo does: issuing DMCA takedown notices to anyone who illegally offers access to any of the company's games. That's exactly what happened earlier this week, as Nintendo wiped out over 400 Switch emulators from GitHub. According to an August 21 TorrentFreak report(https://torrentfreak.com/nintendo-wipes-out-400-switch-emulator-repos-in-single-day-github-sweep/), the Mario maker sent the proprietary developer platform seven DMCA takedown notices targeting Nintendo Switch emulator repositories. This includes Suyu (the Yuzu successor that became popular after Yuzu shut down(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-lawsuit-shuts-down-switch-emulator-yuzu-and-3ds-emulator-citra/1100-6521589/) in March 2024), the Android emulator Skyline, and a few lingering Yuzu forks. In total, some 401 repositories were nuked off GitHub, with 311 of them being Suyu. Now that they're removed, if you attempt to visit the repository on GitHub, you'll receive either a 404 error or a pop-up notification that it's been taken down. In the DMCA pop-up notification, Nintendo states that the targeted repositories "offer, link to, or otherwise provide access to Nintendo Switch emulators." The company said these emulators violate Technological Protection Measures (TPMs), which act as digital locks controlled by copyright owners to prevent copying data illegally. "Specifically, these Nintendo Switch emulators illegally circumvent Nintendo's TPMs in order to run illegal copies of Nintendo Switch games," the notice reads. "Nintendo Switch games are encrypted using proprietary cryptographic keys (prod.keys) which protect against unauthorized access to and copying of the copyrighted games. During operation, the emulators at the reported repositories necessarily use unauthorized copies of these cryptographic keys to decrypt unauthorized copies of Nintendo Switch games, or ROMs, at or immediately before runtime without Nintendo's authorization." With Nintendo summoning the Eye of Mario on 401 repositories earlier this week, and over 8,500 repositories in May 2024(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-shuts-down-yuzu-clones-in-ongoing-quest-to-kill-switch-emulation/1100-6523158/), this brings the company's repository death count to almost 9,000 on GitHub alone. And with Nintendo filing a lawsuit against Yuzu creator Tropic Haze in February 2024(https://kotaku.com/nintendo-zelda-tears-kingdom-switch-yuzu-emulate-pirate-1851293463), which resulted in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom(https://www.gamespot.com/games/the-legend-of-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom/) being pirated over one million times before it launched, the company's war on emulators continues.
