Nagoshi Studio removes entire YouTube channel and Gang of Dragon trailers following funding woes

Image
As NetEase pulled funding for Toshihiro Nagoshi's Gang of Dragon , the game faced an uncertain future, with the studio having to come up with a new financial source to keep developing it. By May, all funding was supposed to go away, and it seems Nagoshi Studio failed to score a new deal and has since removed its entire YouTube channel and all related videos. As spotted by users on the Yakuza subreddit , Nagoshi Studio seems to have completely wiped its YouTube channel with no warning, taking with it all content related to that developer and, of course, Gang of Dragon . Searching on YouTube, the only "official" way to watch the game's trailer is via The Game Awards' account, while Nagoshi Studio appears altogether gone from the platform. https://ift.tt/zKbj7kh This comes after NetEase reportedly pulled funding from Nagoshi Studio , forcing lead Toshihiro Nagoshi to search for new backers to keep his Yakuza successor afloat. It was reported that if funding ...

How to heal and restore health in Vampire Crawlers

Image
Vampire Crawlers is a kind of game where taking damage and reducing your HP is only a matter of time. The deeper you go on your run, the higher the chances for your HP to take a hit. Hence, you'll need to restore the lost health whenever possible for you to be considered successful. This guide will explore all the options you have at your disposal to heal yourself. How to heal in Vampire Crawlers When you begin a run in Vampire Crawlers , you'll come across light sources. At first, the locations of these light sources will be hidden, and you'll need to depend on blind luck. Once you unlock the Guiding Light relic after reaching Inlaid Library, the locations of all light sources on the map will be shown. Screenshot by Destructoid When you break a light source, there will be a chance to find floor chicken. When you consume this chicken, it will restore 10 HP. However, you should only consume it when your HP has reduced by 10 HP or more, since there's no overhea...

Vampire Crawlers Power Ups tier list: Best ones to use

Image
Vampire Crawlers has a host of different Power Ups available for you to choose and upgrade, and doing so will make your runs easier. These are special modifiers that offer permanent bonuses. The more you rank (tier) them up, the bigger the effects. This guide will help you to decide where you should invest your coins first. Table of contents Complete Vampire Crawlers Power Ups tier list S-tier A-tier B-tier Complete Vampire Crawlers Power Ups tier list Power Ups cost coins to gain ranks, and the expenses are different. I have used three tiers to differentiate between all the available Power Ups that can be ranked up. S-tier choices are simply the most powerful ones, and they should be the first ones you should rank up. A-tier choices are great choices, but they do have some limitations. They can be considered as S-tier in certain niche situations. B-tier choices are either average for most decks, or they're very situational. Some of them can be considered as A...

Marvel Rivals’ newest PvE mode Blood Hunt brings Kingpin, Dracula, and a whole lot of enemy density

Image
The huge success of Marvel Rivals' first PvE mode, Marvel Zombies, means the co-op gameplay is not going anywhere any time soon. And thank Khonshu for that. NetEase Games' new spin on co-op PvE is called Blood Hunt, and it's coming this week. And you know what? It looks even better than Zombies because it's adding vampires along with new boss fights with characters like Werewolf Captain America, Ratatoskr, Dracula, and even Wilson Fisk AKA Kingpin. Screenshot by Destructoid Playable heroes in the mode include The Punisher, Squirrel Girl, Thor, Moon Knight, Jeff the Land Shark, and Blade, all with a swath of four slots to equip gear in that customize your builds with different effects. This looks like an extension of the round-to-round power-ups available in Marvel Zombies. But most importantly, holy crap, the enemy density looks so satisfying. Marvel Zombies did a good job with that, combining a huge number of enemies with different abilities that enabled someo...

All Weapon Evolutions in Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors

Image
Developer Poncle has returned with the follow-up to Vampire Survivors, and this time it's a card-battling dungeon crawler! Vampire Crawlers will feel both incredibly familiar to fans, while being an entirely different kind of game. This guide will help you remember how to acquire evolutions, as well as go in-depth on what's needed to form them. How to Evolve Weapons While the idea of putting two specific cards together to evolve them is similar to mechanics in Vampire Survivors , the process of getting that evolution is a bit different. For starters, you need to have both the cards required in an evolution, not a gem. This can be a bit confusing at first; some defense cards and stat cards share icons and abilities with gems that can be inserted into any card. For example, putting an Armor Gem into a card is not the same as having an Armor card for evolution. However, placing a gem onto one of your cards makes it ineligible for evolution, so consider carefully where you put...
