DecemberNetEase Games Preview: Marvel Rivals, Once Human, FragPunk, and Rusty Rabbit
The baked-in special ability will increase weapon damage and reload a bullet every time the player hits a weak spot on an enemy. This makes the R500 Memento a great backup weapon for taking down bosses in this third-person horror game . Overall, this is the best pistol in the game for most play
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 survival game 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
It's worth noting that Rusty Rabbit was a hands-off demonstration of its core gameplay loop and dungeon exploration, while Game Rant was able to spend a little hands-on time with the others. What's clear is that each game is shaping up to be a unique entry in the arena of hero shooters ( Marvel Rivals and FragPunk ), multiplayer survival games ( Once Human ), and 2.5D action platformers ( Rusty Rabbi
KVD - Boom! Boom! is an incredibly fun weapon to use, as this is an LMG that has a chance of setting enemies on fire with every hit. If an enemy is killed while on fire, an AoE explosion is triggered. In long fights with a large group of enemies, this can lead to total carn
It seems hero shooters are becoming increasingly common, which means any new entry in the genre needs to have some sort of unique draw. For Fragpunk , that's its card system that can modify a match mid-game, but make no mistake: it's got the 5v5 hero shooter format down. During our time with the game, we played a single game of "plant the bomb," which is a best-of-7 match set-up. The first team to win four matches wins the whole game. It took us a minute to find a character that gelled with us, as players can swap between each match, but we took a scan character that reminded us a little of Apex Legends ' Bloodhound . Indeed, fans can expect heroes representing all the core elements commonly found in hero shooters - scans, heals, speed boosts, etc. After that, we got to choose our weapon loadout, as well as invest in our ca
As a meta-human in the post-apocalyptic world of Once Human , you are tasked with defeating and collecting Deviations as well as helping out the troubled residents of the world you're in. While you're exploring and doing quests, you will still need to take care of your basic necessities in order to survive.
You can't unlock everything under the different Memetics branches right away. You will need to start from the top of each branch , and make your way down in order to unlock the more complex and powerful Memetics.
For example, The Punisher is pretty easy to learn and master, but Spider-Man is much more difficult to learn in Marvel Rivals . This lets players know how much time they need to dedicate to any hero, and how hard it'll be to play them in the long run. Of course, this same data confirms how good of a hero Spider-Man is and, if someone is good with Spider-Man, they are capable of mind-blowing high-level players. It not only informs someone trying to learn this hero what to expect, but what to expect if they encounter one on the fi
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 .
Between each match, players can change any of these, but again, Fragpunk 's card system is its most unique element. Teams can invest in things like Big Head cards that make enemies easier to hit, cards that let teammates heal each other with bullets, health boosts, vampiric life drains, and more. Some cards are counterplay and cancel each other out, meaning that players have to be aware of their choices and what their opponents choose. Once all of this is selected, the match begins - and in this case, we were on the attacking side for the first three games (planting the bomb) and on the defensive side. We won the four matches, ending the game, but in play, it's very tactical. Its gameplay feels slower than Overwatch 2 but more tactical as a result, and it's worth noting that characters have 3 abilities, none of which are "ultimates." They have limited uses in each match, so players must select how and when to use them for the tactical advantage, creating fun and tense mome
The core gameplay loop involves players, as Stamp in his Junkster mech, exploring Smokestack Mountain to advance the narrative, returning to a village for mech and skill upgrades and the like, and exploring optional dungeons as needed. Rinse and repeat. The Junkster mech has a plethora of abilities, close-ranged and longer-ranged weapons, to face enemies as they explore the ruins of Smokestack Mountain. Our demo, as all good demos do, ended with a boss fight. It used all the abilities shown so far, alongside some interesting environment use, and it made it clear that Rusty Rabbit isn't a one-trick pony. Rusty Rabbit has genuine potential in the 2.5D side-scrolling action platformer genre , and those fans should definitely keep an eye on
