New Attack on Titan trailers

Koei Tecmo has just released some new information along with some new trailers on their upcoming game Attack on Titan for PS4 and Xbox One, and digitally for  PlayStation 3 , PlayStation Vita, and Windows PC via Steam due to release August of this year.

They have announced Scout mode where you can team up with 3 other people and go outside the walls to do, what else, scout! 2233

The new trailer showcases the battle system that looks brutal, but not half as brutal as the anime and not nearly as brutal as the manga.

The other 3 trailers are for playable characters which include LeviHange, and Erwin. I hope Levi comes with cleaning costume.

Review: The Magic Circle (Xbox One)

This will leave an impression

Originally released back in July of 2015, I had never heard of The Magic Circle, so as I began playing it I was unsure of what I was getting myself into. It looked like it was a black and white game and it began as your village was being attacked, things quickly took a turn for the weird for me. I went to an un-burned hut and got a pop up box stating the game wasn’t finished!

Without spoiling too much, I met the “creators” they took my weapon almost got me killed and then deleted me. Then it was over, back at the title screen a mysterious voice contacted me and told me we were going to finish the game. That’s when the game truly began.

The game is of the puzzle genre, editing your enemies and world to solve said puzzles. I enjoyed trying to figure these out because they were unconventional. For example, at the beginning of the  game I found a fireproof rock and took its fireproofing powers away, and later I found a volcano, so I gave my fireproofing to an ally and voila he couldn’t die in lava.

The graphics of the game are nothing all that great to look at, but that’s the style it was made to be, an unfinished game has no color, apparently. The only color we see are from auras created by your character and some enemies. There are other parts of the game that are retro styled and these also have color, they have a very 64 bit era look to them, I think they are neat.pua4a042cf4fd6bfb47701cbc8a1653ada-1461599353-5085844-screenshot-original
