Fire Emblem Engage Preview: A Loving Tribute to Nonexistent Nostalgia

Image
As I played Fire Emblem Engage, it felt great returning to the classic turn-based strategy combat that we haven’t seen since 2019’s Three Houses. What immediately stood out to me was the visual upgrade in the overall presentation of the game – it looks super clean in 2022. Plus, the more I dove into the single chapter I was allowed to play, the more I realized how fun and innovative gameplay has become with each new entry in the franchise. However, what I’m left wondering is whether or not developer Intelligent Systems is too reliant on a nostalgia that may not exist with many fans. What was apparent from my time playing a near-final build was that the game is practically done – or rather, anything you would expect from a finished Fire Emblem game is there and looks beautiful, to say the least. There’s an attention to detail with how the game is presented that feels new for the series. Something about the animation when your units prepare for battle is a nice touch compared to the sti...

One Piece Odyssey: The Final Preview

Image
After 25 years of hanging out with Luffy and friends, Bandai Namco aims to show the One Piece series still has a few tricks up its stretchy sleeves by converting the beloved pirate crew into a proper JRPG. But the challenge in taking one of the most popular names in anime and making it fit the mold of one of the most beloved game genres is not a small one, and so developer I Love Computer Art has switched up many of the fundamentals to make it better suited for the iconic pirate adventure. In my time with it, I was pleasantly surprised how many of these changes felt like improvements over the standard JRPG recipe, and more importantly, made things feel much more in line with what one might expect from One Piece. After three hours running around as Zoro and Chopper, I barely felt like I’d scratched the surface. One of the major ways One Piece Odyssey mixes up the stock JRPG formula is by doing away with the standard turn-based battle system where your party squares off against a rival ...

How Cora Georgiou Went From Hearthstone Caster to Developer

Image
Hearthstone has been around for a long time now - almost nine years - and in that time the game has evolved a great deal. That’s part and parcel for any live service game, of course, but it’s also a reflection of the development team learning from all those years of designing cards, mechanics, classes, events, modes and more. And as Hearthstone has grown, so too has its development team, even hiring some really well-known pro players and personalities to bring their own expertise and passion to bear on the game. Back in mid-October during my trip to Blizzard HQ to see the new Death Knight class, I caught up with one such well-known Hearthstone personality turned developer, Cora Georgiou. A prominent commentator and host for several years in the Hearthstone scene, as well as one of the original members of the Coin Concede podcast (now with 373 episodes and counting), Cora joined Team 5 about three years ago, starting out in final design but soon playing key roles in a number of differe...
