DecemberNetEase Games Preview: Marvel Rivals, Once Human, FragPunk, and Rusty Rabbit
You are a meta-human that is thrust into a hostile Stardust-polluted world in Once Human . As a survivor in this horror MMORPG, your journey will have you completing tasks, quests, commissions, and clearing various dungeons in order to uncover the many secrets of the world.
In order to become sturdier against the dangerous mobs and treacherous environments, you will need to gain access to different technologies and special abilities. These come in the form of Memetics and Cradle Override features. Unlocking the various Memetic branches will allow you to create new things and equipping Cradle Override features will enhance your abilities.
The Gear Bench will allow players to craft up to Tier 2 weapons and armor, but to keep improving they will eventually need to unlock the Intermediate Gear Bench. This will let them craft up to Tier V Epic quality gear. Players will need the Advanced Gear Bench for Legendary Gear tho
Starchrom is a special currency in Once Human that is tied to the Wish Machine . The Wish Machine is a Function Facility that players can have within their territory that offers players the opportunity to obtain Blueprints needed to craft weapons and armor. Players looking to use their Starchrom on the Wish Machine can do one of the following: press F to Make a Wish when within the Wish Machine's proximity, or press G to head to the Blueprint Shop .
The upper-left corner of your screen is where you'll find the link to the Memetic Specialization menu . These specializations grant unique buffs that improve your performance in the four different Memetics branches.
When the second Ice Age came, humanity left the world to its next apex creature - rabbits. The tale of Peter the Rabbit was interpreted in new ways, as the rabbits worked their way to the surface and built a new society. Of course, any post-apocalyptic game is going to have ne'er-do-well bandits, and in Rusty Rabbit , that's the BBs the players are part of (BB being used for comedic effect because no two rabbits could agree on what it meant). Either way, the protagonist, Stamp, is an old and grumpy man who is estranged from his daughter. That ties into him joining the BBs in their quest to explore Smokestack Mountain, an ancient structure that humans would use to send supplies into sp
You can also hit 'M' to open your map and view all the available dungeons and areas to explore in the region. Hovering over each will reveal the Energy Links that you can receive as a reward for clearing the area .
Marvel Rivals is exactly what everyone thinks it is: it is a hero shooter based on and themed around Marvel characters . Teams face off over objectives, some of which are also themed around Marvel heroes - such as an Escort-like objective that revolves around Spider Zero. Marvel Rivals is easy to imagine in action, but during our preview of the game, one key thing stood out to us. It might be the most newcomer-friendly hero shooter we've ever seen. It'll be new at launch and that's one factor, Beastmaster Class 2025 but a lot of hero-based shooters are hard to get into after a few seasons simply because there are so many heroes and so much content. However, Marvel Rivals not only communicates each hero's abilities effectively, but it also tells new players how difficult a player is to p
After the game, we strolled through the menus and found that each hero had small story descriptions. If the heroes are lifeless, a hero shooter is dead in the water, but what's clear is that FragPunk 's heroes are full of life. The devs explained a little bit about the overarching lore and said they would be adding more story to each hero (as well as more heroes post-launch), but it's nailed its foundation. There are a lot of hero shooters coming in the next few months and years, but FragPunk is one to wa
The easiest way to unlock new nodes on your Cradle is to simply progress through the main storyline . Open your 'Tasks' menu, then check out the 'Follow The Stardust' tab. You'll find the quests pertaining to the main story listed there.
Summer Game Fest's Play Days events had games from all walks of life, representing practically every genre out there. NetEase is a good example of this because the company came with Marvel Rivals , Once Human , FragPunk , and Rusty Rabbit , and Game Rant was able to spend a little time with each of these ga
Another way that players can earn Starchrom is through participating in a Prime War . A Prime War is a public event that can be found on the map and will require players to defend a Staroid Restrainer from an Original Entity Kin . Activating the Staroid Restrainer and the Prime War event will require Staroid , which can be acquired through completing Commissions. Upon activation, everyone within the Prime War area will have a short amount of time to fortify the Staroid Restrainer before the Original Entity Kin arrives. Once the boss appears, players must defeat it while simultaneously defending the Staroid Restrainer.
