Nicalis announces Studio Saizensen-developed crossover fighter Blade Strangers for PS4, Switch, and PC

Nicalis announced Blade Strangers, a crossover fighting game developed by Studio Saizensen featuring characters from Cave Story, Code of Princess, and Umihara Kawase, for PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC.

Blade Strangers will feature Story, Mission, Versus, Training, and Online modes, and is said to mix the dynamics and speed of Guilty Gear and Street Fighter with the easy inputs of Super Smash Bros. Characters were created as 3D models, then converted to 2D sprites. Story Mode will have cutscenes, characters clashing, and so on, and is described as like a traditional arcade mode. Mission Mode will give players specific tasks. Training Mode will let players train with a dummy. Stages will be taken from the actual games represented. More characters will be announced later on. Updates are planned post-release.

Ghost of a Tale launches via Xbox One Game Preview on June 30



Ghost of a Tale will launch for Xbox One via Game Preview on June 30, developer SeithCG announced.

The PC version of the game launched via Steam Early Access in July 2016. Here’s an overview:

Ghost of a Tale is an action-RPG game in which you play as Tilo, a mouse and minstrel caught up in a perilous adventure. The game takes place in a medieval world populated only by animals, and puts an emphasis on immersion and exploration. It features stealth elements, disguises, conversations with allies and enemies, and quests.

You’ll be able to explore the secrets of Dwindling Heights Keep and navigate its dangers. Tilo is not much of a fighter, so stealth and nimbleness are your allies when confronted with enemies twice your size. Talk to the characters you meet and leave no stone unturned in your quest to find Merra, your true love….

Blade Strangers first details, screenshots

Nicalis has released first details and screenshots of its newly announced fighting game Blade Strangers developed by Studio Saizensen, which is due out in the fourth quarter of 2017 for PlayStation 4, Switch, Xbox One, and PC.

The stunning character animation in Blade Strangers is created using a proprietary process. 3D character models are used to render individual animation frames, which are then rasterized into sprites and manually touched up by experienced 2D artists. The result is smooth and realistic animation in which every single frame looks like a gorgeous anime illustration.

The game uses a four-button control scheme in which all attacks are triggered by various combinations of action buttons. By avoiding the use of traditional quarter-circle and half-circle input commands, Nicalis and Studio Saizensen hope that the less complex controls of Blade Strangers will allow new players to get into the fighting game genre. The development team’s goal is to revitalize a once-mighty fan community that has the potential to grow even larger.

Another benefit of the simplified controls in Blade Strangers is reduced lag in online multiplayer competition, since there’s less data to transmit between opponents. The finished game will combine the excitement and subtle dynamics of a classic one-on-one brawler with the polish and features that a current-gen fighting game deserves.

Bloober Team Breaks Down the Psychology of ‘Hidden Horror’ in New Video for Observer

Bloober Team are no strangers to zeroing in on the unnerving and fear-inducing. Taking everything they learned from the horror hit, Layers of Fear, this Polish indie crew have refined their technique for the upcoming cyberpunk release, Observer. The developers have broken down their terrifying process in a gameplay video full of in-depth commentary.

Catharsis is the goal of Bloober Team; to allow you to release of your own fears by experiencing them second hand. Check out the video for a full breakdown of their process and what you can expect from Observer, launching later this year on Steam, PS4 and Xbox One.

Story

Observer introduces players to a frightening concept: How would it feel if your fears could be weaponized against you? Det. Daniel Lazarski is an “Observer”; part of a corporate-funded, specialized police unit with full legal clearance to tap directly into a target’s mind via neural implant. A cryptic message from your estranged son sets you on a journey to the drug-ridden Class C slums of Krakow, Poland. As you hack into the minds of criminals and victims alike to uncover the truth of the mysterious communique, you are forced into a surreal landscape of the resident’s darkest fears.

Observer holds the same fantastic pacing of Layers Of Fear, using modern themes to illustrate a society where hacking people's nightmares is a reality. The game questions the moral implications of using people’s most guarded memories as weapons. Delve into people’s most disturbing internal struggles to find the answers you seek.

Seek and solve clues to help rid the city of its seedy underbelly in a futuristic, Blade Runner-esque narrative.

Key Features

• Hack into the twisted minds of criminals and their victims as you traverse a surreal landscape, uncovering meaning behind imagery

• Unique cyberpunk setting, as players find themselves in 2084 AD, Krakow, Poland

• Genre-defining "hidden horror" gameplay in an unsettling, dark atmosphere, placing an emphasis on deeper primal terror over jump scares

Featuring lightning-fast, action-packed speedrunning gameplay and bold hand-crafted environments, Super Cloudbuilt appeals to players who value skill, challenge and improvement.
