Skyworld PSVR Version will be Available in Early 2019

Skyword is a popular VR game that offers an interesting blend of turn-based and real-time battles set in an original and creative miniature world.

Players are able to take control of an army and fight their way in a rich story-mode that will offer challenging maps and force them to take the wisest decisions possible.

After the player opts to start a mission he is transported on a map modeled after a tabletop game, with several themes being available. He or she can dynamically interact with the objects that are on the board.

At his castle, the player will be prompted to hire a general. Older fans of fantasy RTS games will immediately realize that the general is a throwback to the sturdy hero units that offer support in other games. The general will explore the map at first, tracking down important points of interest that can be used later in the game.

While the general explores the map the player will have to decide which buildings need to be constructed and where to place them. Some regions are better for certain types of building and the player should pay attention to their resources as buildings and upgrades will become more expensive over time.

Combat is simple yet exciting. The player has a pool of eight cards that can be selected, and four of them will be randomly available during the battle. The cards can be used to summon units or play powerful spells that can change the odds of the battle.

A multiplayer mode features 1 on 1 battles that can be quite engaging as you never know what the other player will do next. The game has been quite successful on Steam where overall reviews are very positive.

Skyworld has been available for Oculus Rift and HTC Vive since 2017 and some users hope that the PlayStation version will feature cross-platform multiplayer.

Pokémon Go: Trainer Battle – Can You Really Battle Your Friends?

Pokemon Go has recently introduced the PvP trainer battles, the thing that allows the players to compete against other players online and locally. They fight one-on-one, or in competitive trainer leagues, so the Pokemon masters can be named. This is a very pleasant change for the game – truth be told, it needed the multiplayer feature ever since it got launched.

What are trainer battles?

These trainer battles are one-on-one fights that put a player against another local trainer, or simply let two users compete online.

Can you battle your friends?

The answer is yes. If you’re Best Friends or Ultra Friends, (which are the two highest tiers of friendship), then you can send each other invites to battle with the help of the Friends list. Keep in mind that you cannot battle against your Good or Great Friends.

Can you battle users locally?

If you want to battle another player in person, then you both have to be in the same trainer league. You need to swap battle codes (which are different than the trainer codes that are sued to add people to the friend’s list). Battle codes are unique QR codes that a user should scan for sending a battle invitation to another user. These battle codes are assigned to all the players and can be found in the battle menu.

How do the PVP battles work?

Two players are needed for trainer battles, each allowed with a set of three Pokemon – which is a very big change for the game, since every player was allowed to have 6 Pokemon each of their side. Players can now customize their battle party in time, and then select it once the battle begins. Players will select which Pokemon to use and then to send out to fight against the other player in real time. However, you need to keep in mind that a cooldown timer will stop you from swapping between your Pokemon.

Xbox Two: Everything You Need to Know About “Scarlett”

We’ve all seen that the Xbox Two got its own codename – Scarlett. Well, Scarlett is supposed to be the next big console from Microsoft, that’s going to be the rival of Sony’s next-gen hardware. Everyone is hyped about Microsoft’s future console and everyone asks the same questions about specs, price and features.

When is the release date?

As per Thurrott, this console will be released in 2020. Some articles said that it will be released on the 15th of November, or even sooner. Also, Sony’s PlayStation 5 is supposed to be released in 2020. However, Tsuyoshi Kodera the CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment said that it would take at least three more years before PlayStation gets released, so it means that PlayStation 5 won’t make its appearance until 2021. We don’t know for sure yet.

What’s the price?

According to Dexerto, the price is supposed to be the same for both of them. Sony will probably put the price tag at $500, so the price should be around that.

What are the specs?

We know this from Dexerto, too – because Xbox Two is expected to be the rival of PS5, so they are probably going to have the same specs. However, it’s been said that the next-gen hardware will run 4K/60fps.

What are the games?

We’ve heard many rumors about this, especially for a certain YouTuber that has a conversation with Vice President Mike Ybarra of Xbox Corporate. The company asked the game studios to make the best game titles. According to a leak on the internet, Microsoft talked to the gaming studios (yes, there are more than 1, both big and small), about bolstering up its line of Windows 10 and Xbox developers.

Clash of Clans December Update Brings New Magic Items and Changes

The December update for Clash of Clans is usually the most important one of the year. Since the update is almost here, we were able to find out what it will bring. New items and spells are on their way. You can find out more details by keeping an eye on the social media accounts of the game.

New Magic Items

The Clash of Clans December update is preparing some surprises for the users. There will be new tree obstacles that will cost 25,000 gold to remove. The good news is that you will be able to rearrange all the obstacles any way you want to. You can do this using the new Shovel of Obstacles and it works for all kinds of obstacles, including those from previous events. You can group all your Christmas Trees in a small forest or arrange your pumpkins together.

The Hero Potion is another addition for those with Magic Items. This potion allows you to boost a Hero, adding five levels to its current level status. This effect can last one hour. The Hero Potion can be a great way of winning your battles.

The Bat Spell

There is also a new spell for those who have their Town Hall at level 10, 11 or 12. This spell can be used to attack buildings, but it only affects defences. Traps won’t be affected by this spell, except for the Tesla. Nonetheless, this potion is great for weakening defences such as the Archer Tower and Teslas. It does not work that well on the Wizard Tower or the Multi-Inferno.

In order to produce this spell, you will need at least Level 5 Dark Spell Factory. The spell has an area splash effect and it takes one housing space. It takes three minutes to brew it.
