The team behind Resogun and Alienation have been pretty busy with their latest project, Nex Machina, these past few years. Their retro sci-fi shoot’em up also has the work of industry veteran, Eugene Jarvis, behind it. When officially announced at PAX Prime last year, a PlayStation 4 release was assured. However, it was teased through interviews that a PC version may come to light. We’re happy to report that those who use Steam will be able to play Nex Machina on their platform of choice.

The news comes from an official PC announcement trailer that you can view below. There’s some new gameplay footage as well and it looks fast-paced and action packed! Sadly, there’s no updated release date for either system. Nex Machina is expected to drop on PC and PS4 sometime later this year.

Additionally, Housemarque has opened up an official merchandise store too. You can view it by clicking here. The only licensed products available at the moment consist of a grey T-shirt and a rather cool looking poster. They’ll cost $25 and $12 each respectively. We’ve contacted the developer to see if more content will be made available at later dates. We’ll update this post as necessary.

Nex Machina is being developed by Housemarque and takes place in a world where people grew too dependent on technology. In time, the machines used for menial labor gain sentience and refused to be low class workers. That made a violent, robotic revolution inevitable and a hostile takeover the the human race. The player takes control of a hero in blue (no, not Mega Man) to dispatch the threat and help humanity pull themselves away from their dependence on technology.

Let us know what you’re looking forward to with this next project by Housemarque. Did you enjoy Resogun or Alienation? Perhaps even attain the platinum trophy in either one like this author? Hit us up in the comments below!

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
