F2P Browser Game ‘MiniDayZ’ Adds Multiplayer

Have you heard of MiniDayZ? It’s a 2D browser-based version of Bohemia Interactive’s Zombie Survival MMO. It appears to be a side project, but for fans of retro games or gamers not sold on the brutal realities of post-apocalyptic survival, it’s a nice little sampler of what the full-on ‘Day Z’ would be like. – especially since it just added multiplayer, which means you can experience the true horror of how dastardly humans can be to one another behind the mask of telecommunications.

MiniDayZ (and its big brother) load you on the shore of an abandoned, eastern European landmass, and simply tasks you to survive against zombies, the elements, starvation, famine, and your fellow humans. All of which is easier said than done. While MiniDayZ has yet to add crafting, there are all sorts of upgrades, weapons, items, nooks, and crannies to explore…if you can survive longer than five minutes.

It’s quite a bit of fun, though some features are missing, and you can expect quite a bit of trial and error before making *any* progress. At the least it’s certainly more accessible than other titles from the developer.

If you’re the sort of gamer who doesn’t invest a heck of a lot of time on their computer, but likes a bit of multiplayer psychological warfare from time-to-time, this a neat little title that appears to have a great future ahead of it. Depending on where development goes, it’d be perfectly suited for phones, tablets, or consoles as a sort of ‘casual’ companion to the full-on ‘Day Z’ experience.

There’s also something for aesthetics. This game, along with ‘Dead Ahead‘ on mobile, and ‘Project Zomboid‘ on PC are expanding the world of zombies visually. Dead Ahead is anime inspired, Project Zomboid has a strong XCom vibe, and ‘MiniDayZ’ seems to harken back to the days of AOL multiplayer games and SNES-era pixel art.

Be sure to check this one out if you like in-depth browser games, zombie games, or a taste of the delicious braincake that is ‘DayZ’, with far less calories.

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.
