In BLEACH Rebirth of Souls, players will be able to use each character’s unique skills to gain the upper hand over their opponents in stylish swordfights with characters from the franchise. However, they will also be able to utilise features such as the reverse action and well-timed precise combos to get themselves back from a tricky position. As the fight progresses, characters will be able to use their iconic Bankai to unleash very powerful and unique attacks to finish their opponents.

What was once full of life, nature, and vibrant beauty is now overtaken by an ominous defilement and the Seethe, throwing those who live on it into turmoil. Sway, slash, and strategise your way to the Torii gates as Soh, the guardian whose goal is to protect the mountain’s Maiden Yoshiro from the sinister Seethe. The Maiden of the mountain is blessed with sacred powers that purge the defilement through majestic, ceremonial kagura dances.

With this brand-new IP brought to life by the Capcom RE ENGINE, players can explore a fresh take on the tactical action genre rich with striking visual designs, various Japanese cultural inspirations, and a unique day-to-night gameplay cycle. Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess features a ton of new and fresh gameplay elements.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess Gameplay Elements

• A Unique Day/Night Cycle: During the day, players explore the village, purify the “defiled” villagers, assign those villagers various roles, and choose where to place them in order to best protect the Maiden Yoshiro and prepare for sundown. When night falls, Soh and the villagers must work together to protect Yoshiro against the hordes of emergent Seethe as they spill out of the Torii gates that are spread throughout the mountain.
• Encountering Diverse Villagers: As residents of Mt. Kafuku, the villagers need to be saved from the defilement and assigned various roles so they can aid in the battle against the Seethe. Learn the different characteristics of each villager’s role, including Woodcutters, Ascetics, Archers and more to prepare the villagers for a fierce fight. Players can also upgrade villager roles to get more support and issue commands to the villagers while fighting alongside them to defeat the Seethe and purify each village.
• Taking on the Sinister Seethe: When night falls, the Seethe will emerge from the other world. As they target the Maiden with a variety of terrifying attacks, it is up to the protagonist Soh to use dance-like sword techniques and command the villagers. Decide whether you should focus on close-quarters melee attacks yourself or support tactics. Test your strategic abilities with the constantly changing battlegrounds and different Seethe variants.

Tell us about Earl

Players will take on the role of Earl, a former pest controller turned, well, pest controller. Only now the pests are flesh-eating mutants hell-bent on the destruction of humanity. All that can stop them now is a few gallons of gasoline, dual machine guns and a whole lotta bullets.

Perfect for fans of Vampire Survivors, this epic adventure transports players from dingy dungeons to the rolling hills of post-apocalyptic America. Starting in their very own destructive 4×4, players will be able to steal cars from the captains of the undead and tear around a variety of maps, unlocking new abilities and changing how they play with boosters, drones, lasers and even levitating sawblades. Eradicating irradiated baddies has never been so fun.

Created by first-time studio Falling State Inc., Earl vs. the Mutants is the culmination of over 45 years of experience in the games industry that saw these three developers set up shop and create their own spin on this beloved genre.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak is out now RPG fans and it is brilliant. With a new bunch of characters, with some old favourites peppered in, this is a fascinating new chapter.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak: Welcome to Calvard

After years of travelling across Zemuria, beginning my adventure in Erebonia with Class 7, and then making my way to Crossbell with the SS, it’s exciting to finally be in Calvard. With Van, the self-proclaimed spriggan, players find themselves embroiled in a battle for the soul of Calvard as sinister forces are using its recent prosperity to change the country, and not for the better.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak has all the stalwarts of previous entries. It includes an eccentric cast of playable characters, equally impressive villains and a thoroughly fleshed-out world.

What has changed is several quality-of-life elements. There has been an upgrade in graphics which allows the denizens of Calvard to pop off the screen. The various locations are also enchanting to visit.

On top of this though is an overhaul of the combat system. There are two styles of combat. One is where you throw out a “shard” which thrusts everyone in it into battle. This is similar to the original entries, however, there is a fluidity to it that makes it feel looser and more intense. Then there is the second combat style.

With this second style, you dodge and attack your enemies, though you don’t get full access to your skills, arts or crafts there is a wildness to it that I enjoyed. These two styles make for a thoroughly enjoyable time whenever Van and his motley crew do battle with the baddies, whether they be monsters, the villainous Almata or old favourites Oroborous.

Helping in these battles is a new kind of orbment filled with shiny new toys. Utilising the Xipha allows you to add status effects to your weapons, increase buffs at the beginning of a battle and so much more. It’s an impressive new iteration of a feature that has been around for a while in the franchise.

Embrace the Nightmare

One of the new elements which reminded me of playing as Rean and Valimar was the power of Grendel. This being is a kind of demonic armour which Van utilises in battle. It’s a lot of fun and evolves as the story progresses.

If there were any issues it would be some complacencies that just pet peeves. We are far into this series and still, there are no weapon skins when you buy a new weapon, which is something I love in RPGs.

Following Van, Agnes, Feri and the rest of this new merry band has been a lot of fun and the ramifications of The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak will be sure to excite longtime fans.

Puppet House Features:

Demonic puppet antagonist: Encounter a soul-stealing puppet that relentlessly hunts those who trespass.

Escape room elements: Navigate through an evolving environment.

Atmospheric horror: Experience a chilling atmosphere with haunting visuals and sound design.

Behold Field Town

Immerse yourself in the sinister world of the Puppet House, in which horrors are carved from wood. As Detective Rick, your task is to unravel the mystery of local disappearances. All leads point towards an old house of a late ventriloquist.  Will you be brave enough to follow this case, even if a murderous puppet crosses your path?

Survive the nightmare

The sense of unease is perfectly balanced with a touch of B-movie horror humour. That evokes the charm of classic 80s and 90s horror movies and games. Expect over-the-top scares and a killer puppet antagonist that’s as creepy as it is absurd. The combination of scares and humour ensures that Puppet House delivers an unforgettable horror experience.

Several character trailers will be released to showcase the roster available in the game – including a particularly appreciated character by fans of the franchise during EVO Las Vegas.

The game’s demo will be available during the Japan Expo Paris at the Bushiroad Games booth. Following the announcement of M. Daisuke Ishiwatari, CCO of Arc System Works, ASWE will also organise several special animations for this occasion.
