Pocket Gamer RSS Feed3 min read(5 months ago)

Overview & Key Takeaways

Due in no small part to the international nature of gaming, there are plenty of hit franchises overseas that many of us don't even know about. For example, the War of Genesis series and its spinoff RPG Genesis War. Having just opened pre-registration for overseas players, Line Games hope to entice you to see what has made the Genesis series so popular! In Genesis War, you'll find a grand narrative suitable for both new and returning players, with the promise of challenging tactical gameplay. It offers Fire Emblem-style grid-based strategic combat, where you build your adventuring party, before taking on enemy forces by moving your heroes around obstacles and engaging individual enemies. ...

  • Genesis War brings a whole new strategic RPG experience to mobile based on the popular series

Due in no small part to the international nature of gaming, there are plenty of hit franchises overseas that many of us don't even know about. For example, the War of Genesis series and its spinoff RPG Genesis War. Having just opened pre-registration for overseas players, Line Games hope to entice you to see what has made the Genesis series so popular!

In Genesis War, you'll find a grand narrative suitable for both new and returning players, with the promise of challenging tactical gameplay. It offers Fire Emblem-style grid-based strategic combat, where you build your adventuring party, before taking on enemy forces by moving your heroes around obstacles and engaging individual enemies.

Basically, think of it like a standard turn-based RPG mixed with typical D&D battles, where you manoeuvre your characters around a battlefield and take on your enemies one at a time. With a slated release sometime in April this year, while it may not be Total War, Genesis War certainly makes you think.

Genesis of something new

What also stood out to me was the art-style, as while Genesis War is familiarly 'anime' in design, it does offer an ever-so slightly more realistic or at least more grounded style than others. And in terms of gameplay, the fact that it actually has you think more carefully about where your characters go and what they do is already leagues above some other fare.

As for pre-registration, the usual considerations apply. The Milestone Event will offer growth rewards such as character selection and summoning tickets, as well as other goodies. All dependent on how many people sign up, of course. So if you think you'd be at all interested, it's well worth pre-registering for Genesis War on an App Store near you!

In the meantime, if you want to hone your strategic skills ahead of Genesis War's launch, why not take a gander at our list of the best strategy games on Android for our recommendations?

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.
