Steets of Rage 4 gets a big update with more than 300 improvements, custom survival mode

March 12, 2023VG247

There’s some new co-op moves in there for good measure too. Streets of Rage 4 has a brand new update, adding in a custom survival mode, co-op specific moves, and more than 300 improvements. Earlier this week, Dotemu released a big new update for Streets of Rage 4, giving the game a strong looking second wind. First up is the game’s new custom survival mode, a new mode that lets players play for as long as they can survive for, with rules that they can fine tune themselves. Customisation options include things like choosing perks, the starting level, whether it’s…

January 31, 2023VG247

Guess who’s back? Back again. Rayquaza’s back. Tell a friend. Legendary Pokemon Rayquaza returns to Pokemon Go in late February. Finally. The super-ancient Pokemon will appear in five-star raids from February 22 to March 1, and will know the Charged Attack Breaking Swipe. Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon are coming to Pokémon Go The folks at Niantic must have heard my repeated pleas for the Pokemon’s return. I’m super excited and will accept any raid invitation I receive featuring the Dragon/Flying-type. I better start saving my PokeCoins because I will need to purchase more than a few remote raid passes,…

The best Xbox Game Pass game costs less than the monthly sub

January 18, 2023VG247

It achieves more with a handful of sprites and some clever psychology than most AAAs do with infinite budgets. ^Stay tuned for Jim’s video essay on the genius of Vampire Survivors. Teasing around the edge of the mob, moving in concentric circles so as to maximise the surface area of your garlic aura’s damage zone. An instinctive, brushing motion. Methodically scrubbing arcane horrors from the world as you would coffee stains from tooth enamel. Since the mobile release, both rituals conducted at once, either side of bed time. The life of a Vampire Survivors Enjoyer is, in essence, spiritual. And…

Final Fantasy 7’s mobile battle royale, The First Soldier, has ended service

January 12, 2023VG247

Fans are sad to see it go, and believe it could’ve been so much more. Final Fantasy 7: The First Solider is Square Enix’s mobile spin-off that takes on a battle royale format. Back in October last year, Square Enix revealed its plans to take the game offline in 2023. As of yesterday, 11 January 2023, The First Soldier has officially ended service. You can catch the opening movie for Final Fantasy 7: The First Soldier right here. Despite Square Enix’s best efforts to keep the game afloat with new content and regular updates, the company concluded that it simply…

Noibat fans will be pleased to know it’s the star of Pokemon Go’s February Community Day

January 11, 2023VG247

Time to finally evolve your purple bat. If you have been unable to acquire enough candy to evolve your Noibat in Pokemon Go, you will soon be able to earn enough (hopefully) to change it into Noivern. This is because the little purple bat will feature during February’s Community Day. Huzzah! Pokemon Go Season 9: Mythical Wishes has kicked off! The bat is one of the harder Pokemons to evolve because it takes a whopping 400 candy to change into Noivern plus, it doesn’t have a very high spawn rate. That will all change on Sunday, February 5. From 2-5pm…

Card games are boring, so how did two of them become my favourites of 2022?

December 8, 2022VG247

I’ve been banging the ‘card games are boring’ drum for years, so I didn’t expect to be spending so much of my game time this year with two of them. My problem with card video games is the same one I have with digital recreations of board games: the appeal of executing a mechanic is a large part of why I engage with video games, and that’s precisely why games with cards don’t do it for me. See, most games with cards in them have already decided the specifics of the move. The intricacies of every action are predetermined. Your…

With Vampire Survivors, I finally get the appeal of Xbox Game Pass Cloud Gaming

November 18, 2022VG247

Grinding away against hordes of the undead, I finally understood why Microsoft has been pushing this tech so hard. You know those games that you boot up, spend about 20 minutes with, and then realise ‘ah crap. It’s got me’? That’s Vampire Survivors. I come at this compelling little sprite-based game as a creature that’s sunk over 1000 hours into The Binding of Isaac across the multiple platforms I own it on – the sort of compulsive gimp that zones out in these endless, power-up games and uses it as a form of meditation. So, the second I upgraded my…
