≪ Previous: Rumor: World of Warcraft Next Expansion Veil of Shadows Leaked

There are three distinctive characters for players to choose from, namely Gabel, Jereint, and Marion, and players are also able to customize skill combos and create unique skill build for combo attack. When you face difficult dungeons, solo is not a good idea. Dragon Nest 2: Legend also supports smooth real time gameplay with other players, allowing you to conquer “nests” easily.

The Elder Scrolls: Legends

The Elder Scrolls: Legends - Heroes of Skyrim is a strategy card game based on the world and lore of the award-winning Elder Scrolls series.

For the one hand, players have to construct a wide variety of buildings to defend from invasions and command mighty dinosaurs to invade other villages. However, manage the village is not an easy task. Allocating villagers to right job can create a strong and economical home to live. For the other hand, there are more than 200 dinosaurs at you command, and you can control them to destroy enemies’ base to receive rewards.

Combat Squad - Online FPS

Developed by former Counter-Strike Online developers, Combat Squad is a tactical FPS online multiplayer shooter to test your skills and tactics against others around the world.

As a mobile FPS, players need to create, customize, control and command elite squad and wage a tactical battle against the enemy squad. There are 7 different multiplayer game modes to choose from and due to Unreal Engine 4, the graphics of the game looks very decent for the mobile display.

Fighting Fantasy Legends

From renowned authors Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone (co-founders of Games Workshop) and Nomad Games, Fighting Fantasy Legends is a role-playing card game set in the world of Fighting Fantasy. Following the PC version which was launched in July, the studio published the mobile version on iOS for $4.99

The Rise of New Mobile Sites

≪ Previous: 5 Recommended Mobile Games to Play This Week (August 03-10, 2017)

In recent years, e-commerce is one industry that has been rising massively, however not all is as it seems. M-commerce is the true frontier and is becoming increasingly popular, just like mobile is becoming favoured over desktop in general, thus, there has been a huge rise in the number of mobile sites like new casino site Sloty.

In simple terms, m-commerce involves shopping via a mobile device, whether that be a smartphone or tablet. And thanks to the rise in mobile sites, m-commerce is dubbed to burst into the mainstream thanks to advancing technology making it easier for people to shop on their phones. In the foreseeable future, m-commerce will continue to rise. Just three years ago, m-commerce made up some 11.6% of the total $303billion e-commerce total in the States. This is set to reach $284 billion in just three years time and will accumulate for almost half of the e-commerce market.

And this is just mobile getting started. For the first time last year, the number of searches on mobile devices officially outnumbered the total number of searches made on desktop making mobile the most popular way of accessing the internet, with this, the number of new mobile sites make sense. Admittedly, Google searches made from desktop remain very high but such figures indicate that mobile technology is just on the rise, it has risen and not only has it risen, it has done so to the very top. Shopping sites, mobile casinos, social media, streaming services, gaming, are all popular on mobile.

With this information, it is no surprise that businesses are soon keen for their websites to be optimised for mobile. Nowadays, having a mobile site is absolutely necessary. And this is still not enough, your site must also be mobile friendly meaning it needs to do more than just be displayable on a mobile device, it also needs to be easy for users to navigate. As a result of this, page views will increase tenfold as mobile friendly sites always get more views, it’s as simple as that. Mobile sites are rising simply because if users aren’t able to access a site easily on their mobile, they will give up and look elsewhere hence, hosting a mobile site is essential for retaining customers, whether you’re a retailer, social media site or even mobile casino.

It’s no surprise that in the past few years mobile has been king. Now the most popular way to browse the internet, a change of criteria in Google’s search indexing is on the horizon. The search engine giant have announced that plans for a mobile first index that will rank pages on the SERPs based off the mobile version of their website is now in motion. Before announcing a new site, Google recommend that your site is mobile friendly and that a mobile friendly test has been conducted as well as a mobile usability report. And if Google recommend you do something, you tend to do it, especially where a website is involved!

≪ Previous: The Rise of New Mobile Sites

Path of Exile is an online Action RPG developed by Grinding Gear Games set in the dark fantasy world of Wraeclast. We came back from their company and let's have a look what their company looks like.

Grinding Gear Games located in Auckland, New Zealand. It’s a beautiful town just like paradise. We thought the games they make will as beautiful as New Zealand. But actually the world of their game Path of Exile is a dark and brutal continent, fulfill with monsters.

That’s how Path of Exile looks like, what kind of company can produce such a terrifying game, let us find out.

When we come close to their company, there are over 500 cars parked here but we can recognize their cars immediately. Not because of their logo stickers, it’s because almost all of their employees are fans of 80s’ car. That already has become a part of corporate culture.

This lovely building is GGG’s Office building, and about 200 people are working here. Compare to some huge game corporation like Blizzard Entertainment, maybe 200 people just a little group. But at New Zealand, it truly is a big company.

The first thing we saw is a large rest area when we stepped into this company, and they will play video games or watch movies together at spare time or hold parties on weekends.

The working atmosphere is relaxed. As we can see from this photo, they provide a lot of snacks and beverages, even liqueur. That right, all kinds of LIQUEUR. Although employees don’t allow drinking at working time, they can taste it after work.

Besides these drinks, GGG also have a kitchen with full set of cooking equipments.

GGG’s staffs show us their ROM cartridges collections, these cartridges even may older than you. Actually every staff is a game master, even QA team or customer service team’s staffs are game fans.

Two game designers are talking about the skill tree, a skill system allowed you to build complex combinations of skills in Path of Exile.

This lovely girl is an artist of Path of Exile who loves the movie Alien or The Thing.
And those are the “cutest” paints draw by this girl. She told us that every image needs to be checked by their art director, and sometimes he will come up with more creepy ideas.

This handsome guy takes charge of costume design. And he is showing his most satisfy work on computer. (BTW, this limited costume maybe can be got freely in the future)

He continues to show us the awesome reward outfit at new season.

Then we come to a dark room. And meet the music producer, who produced every effects sound and music by him alone. He told us that he has to stay in the dark room to inspiring him to create creepy music.

She has been worked in customer service team for 10 years. She is also a game fan and according to her words, the first step to work at GGG is you are a game fan.

These two bros are working at testing team, their job is finding bugs. They have the best computer in company and the game scene will transport to different places every half second in order to find out bugs.

Path of Exile has been developed for 11 years, lots of their employees joined this company at the age of 20s, and they are all already 30s now. (From left to right is: CTO Jonathan、PM Yeran、Art director Erik、CEO Chris )

Nexon has released the Q2 2017 financial results, registering a strong growth in revenue (up 23% y-o-y) and net income (up 157% y-o-y), which exceeds the company's expectation. The agrresive strategy in mobile gaming market is the key to the growth, and the investment in mobile gaming will continue in Q3 2017.

The lineup for Q3 2017 and onward is also revealed, and it includes several anticipated mobile titles: Durango: Wild Lands, Final Fantasy XI Mobile, and Mabinogi Mobile. The PC lineup includes Need for Speed Edge, Titanfall Online, and Moonlight Blade but doesn't mention Peria Chronicles. I can only guess the game won't be coming out in 2017.

First Impressions on ROKH - Survive in Space if You Can!

August 11, 2017, 3:08 am

≫ Next: Champions & Challengers-Adventure Time is a Turn-based Real-Time Mobile RPG

≪ Previous: Black Desert Online (KR) Concurrent Player Number Increased 40%

Hello gamers,

In today’s article we will be looking at a new survival, sandbox game called ROKH. Unlike most of the games of its genre, ROKH takes place Mars instead of a post apocalyptic version of Earth. As in all survival games you have to work together with other people in order to overcome the many obstacles and threats which you will encounter on the Red Planet.

This is a First-Impressions article and I need to mention that the game is still in Early Access and still lacks many of its core features, such as combat, also it has bugs, some of the them being game-breaking, for instance I had many server disconnects throughout my playtime. I won’t be talking about those crashes though game since I believe that those are problems which will be fixed along the way and from a quick research on Reddit, I’ve found out that the developers are listening and responding to players’ feedback.

Before we get any further into the impressions, let’s take a brief look at ROKH features. Most of my impressions about this game are related to the following, so I thought that it would be a good if you had a small idea about them.

Adaptive survival. The resources are limited and mismanagement or hasty decisions can lead to death of your character. You have to be creative on how you use them.
Unique crafting mechanics. Forget about the typical Blueprint+materials=new item recipe. ROKH has a fresh way of crafting items.
A beautiful place to explore

First let’s look over the pros of ROKH aka the good things

Hardcore survival experience

I’ve played this game for about 6-7 hours and all I have to say that this game is BRUTAL!
However I generally enjoyed it, despite the numerous DCs. I always love a good challenge in games and ROKH gave me just that. With only a few pointers at the start, I was left to explore the vastness of Mars on my own without any idea what I had to do in order to stay alive (long live youtube guides!). The best aspect of the whole survival thing was that aside from basic stuff like food and water, there were also many other factors which I had to watch out for. Temperature being the first, you can easily die from cold or heat if you ignore the weather condition when you go out to explore. Radiation was also a concern, not a big one though I have been used to it from playing Fallout, just gulp down a special anti-rad pill every time that happens. Finally there was the most important of all, oxygen,
you are in Mars after all.

Not only you do have to watch out for your oxygen level while playing, but even when offline, because you can die from asphyxiation if you do not resupply the oxygen generator for a long time. That’s a why you should always play in a team so that there would always be one player available to do the maintenance.

The Red Planet itself

The whole game runs on Unreal Engine 4 and its graphics are quite impressive for a sandbox game that is. Also the whole game environment has been designed based on actual pictures of Mars from Nasa and its huge in size 400km² to be precise.

Regarding the quality of graphics and the details in general, I especially liked how they designed the day-night cycles. The color of the sun beams, ranging from orange to blue hues depending of the time of day made up for an incredibly realistic gaming enivornment. The little details, like the dust clouds arising when air blew or the meteor showers only added to the game’s immersion.

Crafting System

I found out that crafting in ROKH was differently implemented compared to other games of the genre. As I’ve mentioned in the beginning, you do not need to buy or search for blueprints in order to craft things. Instead, you open up the crafting menu where there are various tools which you can craft and each tool has its own things which it can build. Personally, I like the concept behind it and found that approach quite interesting, however as you will see next, the execution of it was poorly made.

Now, let’s move on to the cons of ROKH aka the bad things

Needlessly complex gameplay

An example would be appropriate in order to show how much annoying the gameplay is:
Let’s say that you decide to build a very basic tool, a hammer. In order to use it though you have to first drag it into the toolbar and select it with the1-5 hotkeys, then click it and bring up the crafting sub-menu of the hammer and then you can craft an item from the hammer-menu. If you need to use another tool, say a screwdriver then you will need to first unequip the hammer and then do the whole process again for the screwdriver which will happen quite a lot if you want to just check a recipe. I simply do not understand why would they make so many menus when one would suffice.

Clunky User Interface

The UI in ROKH is insufferably bad. There is a noticeable delay when opening most of the crafting menus and sometimes the whole thing becomes unresponsive. There are a lot of things which I can complain for the interface and which made the annoying complexity of crafting even more painful, but I shan’t because I want to hope that they will be fixed soon. Some of the most noticeable ones are: the lack of sorting, the lack of mouse sensitivity adjustment

Conclusion

Overall ROKH is a cool game with a lot of potential if you are into sandbox games. Despite its fatal flaws I would still recommend the game to people who are fan of the genre because I am certain that they will enjoy it once the game has been patched up. It is not a game that I would recommend to those who want a casual experience though, the game is tough and not only in terms of playing it, but also in terms of understanding it. It took me quite some time experimenting with the game’s mechanics before I understood the basic concepts behind it.
