Making the tank slightly extra comfy

The launch of Fuga: Melodies of Metal 2 is arising in Might, and CyberConnect2 has dropped a brand new patch for Fuga: Melodies of Metal to easy issues alongside for anybody new to the sequence. The patch consists of some substantial quality-of-life adjustments that ought to deal with greater points not rooted in its core design.

An important change might be the “retry possibility.” One of many core mechanics of Fuga: Melodies of Metal is the soul cannon, which lets you load a toddler into it and fireplace them at any enemy for an immediate kill – even bosses. The draw back is that this prevents you from reaching the “true ending,” as a result of what sensible monster makes use of youngsters as ammunition? The retry possibility will can help you begin over from chapter 7 with all of your stats retained, which suggests you gained’t need to play by your entire recreation once more to repair your “mistake.”

One other good addition is the flexibility to play utilizing “turbo mode” with out having to beat the sport first. Basically, this hurries up gameplay in the event you don’t care about issues like environment and pacing and simply wish to get to the tip. The tank in Fuga: Melodies of Metal is a bit on the gradual facet, so I’m undoubtedly not judging. It’s good that this feature will alleviate issues for many who don’t must expertise the sensation of being in a lumbering large iron loss of life machine.

Lastly, CyberConnect2 has added binoculars, so you may verify the enemy standing from the formation display screen. It is a fairly small change, however will probably be simpler so that you can decide your crew with out having to again out of the formation menu.

The patch notes additionally point out “the automated harvesting of crops earlier than every intermission” and “a complete UI navigation overhaul.” Neat.

Labor of affection

I’m very excited for Fuga: Melodies of Metal 2. The primary recreation is superb, and I wasn’t anticipating a sequel. The “Little Tail Bronx” sequence, which incorporates 1998’s Tail Concerto and 2010’s Solatorobo: Crimson the Hunter, has by no means bought effectively. The truth that CyberConnect2 continues to pursue it factors to it being a labor of affection for its veteran builders. I’m hoping that the Fuga video games will catch on and result in ports of the earlier video games within the sequence.

The 1.50 patch for Fuga: Melodies of Metal drops in the present day. Fuga: Melodies of Metal 2 is coming Might 11, 2023 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Sequence X|S, PC, and Swap. There will likely be bonuses within the sequel for anybody who owns the primary recreation.
