KonoSuba dungeon crawler RPG on PlayStation 4 and Vita gets new gameplay with Kazuma, Aqua, Megumin, Darkness, and Yunyun

Entergram published a new gameplay video for the upcoming PS4, Vita KonoSuba dungeon crawler, launching on June 27 in Japan. The game’s full name is Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! ~Kibou no Meikyuu to Tsudoishi Boukenshatachi~. This is pretty long to remember even for a weeb like me.

Minecraft Dungeons is a dungeon crawler game, one that brings the general style we've come to expect from Minecraft paired with action-. Crawl is the local multiplayer dungeon crawler where your friends control the monsters! Battle through dungeons and power up your hero - if a friend kills you they take your place and it’s their turn to crawl. It's a race to gain enough XP and loot to take on the hulking final boss!

The gameplay video shows the hub, which is the city of Axel, and later on some dungeon exploration. Overall it follows the same mechanics as many dungeon crawlers, Etrian Odyssey in particular. Wiz’s shop will sell more and more new items as you sell her materials, for example.

The game is fully voiced. Clearly, a lot of development time went into the battle animations as well. Nearly every playable character’ skills each have their own anime cut-in.

I personally wish they’d spent more time on making a more ergonomic menu though. The skill learning menu is a simple list, for example. Some sort of table for better visibility wouldn’t be unnecessary there.

Yesterday songfacts. 'Yesterday' is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, written by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon–McCartney. It was first released on the album Help! In August 1965, except in the United States, where it was issued as a single in September. The song reached number one on the US charts.

As a reminder, this KonoSuba RPG was supposed to launch on March 28 but got delayed to June 27. Entergram cited “development issues” for the delay but didn’t elaborate more. Still, it’s an interesting case as while we don’t know what happened, this is a slightly more precise justification than the usual “we decided to delay the game to further enhance its quality” reason always given by Japanese studios.

A new commercial was published as well and can be found below.

We recently got into the Minecraft Dungeons Beta on PC, giving us a more in-depth look at the game for the first time. Minecraft Dungeons mixes the world of Minecraft with the gameplay stylings of Diablo, creating a dungeon crawler that not only feels great to play, but will be familiar for fans of both games and genres.

Minecraft Dungeons is taking sign-ups for its closed beta over here, and it's aiming for an April 30, 2020 launch on Xbox One, PS4, PC, and Nintendo Switch, although Microsoft has issued an advisory that world events may cause the game to be delayed.

So far, the game seems radically polished on PC. I was running this on a modest RTX 2060 laptop and found it ran extremely well at 60 frames per second, with only minor hiccups here and there. The gameplay feels really tight, with gorgeous particle effects and fun physics that adds weight and impact to your weapon swings and special abilities.

The game has scaling difficulty that you can choose to tailor your playstyle, similarly to Diablo and other isometric dungeon crawlers, with even more difficulty levels unlocked when you get through the story. On the maximum difficulty available, I found the boss battles to be surprisingly tough, with pretty high requirements for fast reactions and careful planning.

Minecraft Dungeons looks set to really take off when it launches later next month, particularly so since it's on literally every platform. PC and Xbox players will be able to play together too, and cross-play is being explored for other platforms post-launch. And of course, it'll be on Xbox Game Pass for both Xbox One and PC as well.
