Leatherface Revs up His Chainsaw to Join Dead by Daylight

Asymmetrical multiplayer games are gaining popularity, especially horror-themed ones. Friday the 13th is a highly-successful Kickstarter project that lets gamers slip on the hockey mask of the Camp Crystal Lake killer Jason Voorhees and hunt their friends (or vice versa), and Last Year is an upcoming game in the same vein but with a new villainous protagonist who stalks the halls of a high school. However, Dead by Daylight remains one of the better asymmetrical multiplayer horror games thanks to its bevy of creepy locations and playable characters, the latest of which is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’s iconic Leatherface.

Like other asymmetrical multiplayer horror games, Dead by Daylight places four players in the roles of innocent teenagers (the Survivors) and pits them against one player who controls an evil monster or a deranged, psychopathic human (the Killer). The goal of the Survivors is to, well, survive and escape, and all the Killer needs to do is hunt down the Survivors and kill them by sticking them on giant meat hooks.

As The Texas Chainsaw Massacre fans would expect, Leatherface wields his signature chainsaw as he hunts down more victims, but it isn’t the only tool at his disposal. Like other Killers in Dead by Daylight, Leatherface comes with his own set of perks. The first, Knock Out, doesn’t let Survivors know the location of his victims (if they are too far away). The second perk, Barbecue & Chili, grants Leatherface temporary awareness of the general location of opposing players after sticking a Survivor on a hook, but only if the opposing players are more than 36 meters away. Letherface’s third and final perk, Franklin’s Demise, forces Survivors to drop an item whenever they’re attacked, which damages the item.

Leatherface isn’t the only guest character to appear in Dead by Daylight, as Halloween’s Michael Myers was patched into the game on October 25th last year, albeit as paid DLC. However, Leatherface’s inclusion demonstrates Myers wasn’t just a one-off cameo and that the developers at Behaviour Interactive are trying to include as many classic slasher killers as possible. With luck, we might soon see the likes of Freddy Krueger, Pinhead, Pennywise the Dancing Clown (the Bill Skarsgard version, not the Tim Curry version), and Ghostface from Scream in the game.

Leatherface is currently available for only $3.99, but the good news does not stop there. Gamers can play Dead by Daylight for free for the next several days, and the game is also on sale for $9.99. However, this deal won’t last long, so take advantage of it while you can.

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

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.
