[Jello Biafra]

Secondo capitolo di The World Ends With You.

Tetsuya Nomura di nuovo ai comandi, stavolta è tutto tridimensionale (e sembra più convenzionalmente jRPG come struttura).

Uscita estate 2021 e pare bellone vero.

Interessante, e poi di giochi con setting urban giappo ce n'è sempre bisogno

Interessante, e poi di giochi con setting urban giappo ce n'è sempre bisogno

Personalmente ho sempre trovato il contrario. Non so perché, ma il trailer di Neo TWEWY irrita una parte di me che non saprei nemmeno localizzare.

TWEWY è uno di quei giochi di cui ho sempre solo sentito parlar bene, e non ho mai giocato.
Prima o poi recupererollo su DS (poi...).

Beh un timore del passaggio al 3D è che stilisticamente non sia allo stesso livello (si è visto molto poco ma non mi è parso male).
Comunque versione DS si può giocare ma volendo c'è pure la riedizione esclusiva switch del primo con qualcosina extra e controlli riadattati (non perfetti ma funzionali)

La riedizione sarà pure esclusiva ma la particolarità del gioco sta tutta nei controlli con il pennino. Con altri controlli non è sostanzialmente lo stesso gioco.

[Laxus91]

Si infatti non dico necessariamente controlli migliorati proprio per quello, nasce comunque come gioco cucito attorno a hardware DS.

Nonostante questo però la versione switch resta comunque appetibile (che poi questo annuncio mi lascia sorpresa perchè un sequel davvero non me lo sarei aspettato)

Shinjuku Reapers: Overseers of the Reapers’ Game

– The Reapers manage the eponymous Game and give missions to its Players
– The current Game is being run by a gang of Reapers who came to Shibuya roughly three years ago
– This iteration requires Players to group up into teams to participate
– Shiba and the rest of the Shinjuku Reapers left their home after it was destroyed three years ago, ultimately taking refuge in the neighboring city of Shibuya
– Reapers native to the Shibuya area like Kariya and Uzuki have been tasked with monitoring the Players

Ayano (Erin Yvette / Ayane Sakura)

– A Reaper managing the Reapers’ Game
– One of the elite Reapers
– Ayano is highly capable and implicitly trusted by her leader, Shiba
– Cold and ruthless toward others except her fellow Reaper, Shoka, whom she dotes upon in a near obsessive manner

Kubo (Xander Mobus / Taisuke Nakano)

– A Reaper managing the Reapers’ Game
– His obligations extend to both the micro and macro levels, monitoring individual Players as well as determining the outcome in win-lose scenarios
– In spite of these duties, he spends quite a bit of time chatting with Rindo and the gang
– His words drip with condescension, causing many to dislike him
– The only person to whom he shows any respect is his leader, Shiba

Kaie (Josey Montana McCoy / Shouya Chiba)

– One of the Reapers who runs a fortune-telling shop on Spain Hill while also managing the digital system behind the Game
– Expressionless and seemingly voiceless
– Communicates exclusively via text
– In messages, he’s extremely talkative, revealing a cheerful and caring side

Hishima (James Austin Kerr / Shunsuke Takeuchi)

– One of the Reapers who rarely gets involved in the operation of the Game, claiming that his heart isn’t really in it
– Despite his intellectual appearance, he reveals himself to be both sarcastic and stubborn when he opens his mouth
– Somewhat of an odd Reaper out, he’s a man of mystery
– Even his comrades can’t discern whether he has some sort of ulterior motive

Reapers’ Game: Missions

– Rindo and the gang will undertake a wide variety of missions throughout the Reapers’ Game
– Their objectives will differ from day to day: sometimes they might be solving mysteries going on around town, while other times they might be facing off against Boss Noise, or even taking part in a turf war against other teams
– Put your psychic powers to use in completing these missions

Game Mechanics: Mental Notes

– Game progress and mission details are all recorded in Rindo’s Mental Notes
– Available side-quests and info on where to start them are also listed in the Mental Notes

Game Mechanics: Social Network

– The Social Network menu holds information on just about everyone Rindo meets
– Fulfilling certain criteria for each character will unlock rewards, including helpful items and abilities that give Rindo and the gang a leg up in the Game
– Which rewards you unlock is all up to you
– The Social Network is like a relationship chart
– As you progress through the story, new characters and connections will appear
– Rewards are obtained in exchange for FP (Friendship Points), which are awarded as you progress through the story and complete side-quests

Game Mechanics: Dive

– Nagi uses a special psych, Dive, to enter into people’s minds
– Use it to fight and exterminate the Noise within and bring the afflicted folks back to their senses
– During Dive battles, your surroundings will be different from usual, and you may encounter Noise with special emotion-based powers
– Dive on Normal difficulty or higher to gain rewards based on your battle results

Battle Basics

– Rindo and the gang can unleash all kinds of psychs depending on the pins they have equipped
– Press the button corresponding to a given pin, and the character it’s equipped to will instantly perform an attack
– Time your button presses to attack consecutively or all at once
– String together combos or perform simultaneous attacks any which way you like
– Find your perfect fit from a wide array of psychs, which can launch enemies into the air, knock them back, bind them, draw them in, attack swaths of them at once, and more

Battle: Combos and Mashups

– Increase the party’s Groove by coordinating the team’s attacks, then unleash a Mashup and inflict huge damage on the enemy
– If you hit an enemy under the right conditions, a circular Beatdrop gauge will appear
– Striking while the gauge is shown will initiate a Beatdrop combo, and the Groove displayed at the top of the screen will increase
– Later in the game, you’ll be able to increase the Groove even further by dropping the beat at just the right moment
– If you carry out combos with perfect timing, you can quickly increase Groove and control the flow of the battle
– Once your Groove reaches 100% or more, you can unleash a Mashup
– This is a super psych with impressive range and power
– As you progress through the game, the maximum Groove will increase to 300%, and you’ll be able to unleash team attacks that are even stronger than Mashups
– Killer Remixes can only be used at 300% Groove, but they boast unrivalled power; annihilate your enemies with rapid button presses
– There are several different types of Mashups, and the skill you unleash will depend on the psychs you use in battle

Pins

– Sugar Beam: allows the wearer to use Force Rounds, a ranged psych that shoots barrages of eight bullets, the last of which is a piercing shot
– Grin Reaper: grants the psych Heavy Slugger, which uses massive fists to pummel the Noise; hit the button repeatedly for high-speed punches
– Marvelous Crash: contains the Meteor Strike psych; hold down the button to summon a giant boulder, then release to slam it down on an enemy’s head!
