Good news for everyone anticipating the MOGA Rebel, the full-size Bluetooth MFi gamepad, as a release date has been announced, and it’s perfect timing with the iPhone 6 models coming out: September 17th, next Wednesday, for $79.99. As one of the first Xbox-style MFi gamepads that will be available to the public, this should be an intriguing controller for those who want a Bluetooth gamepad but don’t like the small size of the SteelSeries Stratus.
The MOGA Rebel connects via Bluetooth, and uses an extendable clip in the middle of controller to hold the iPhone or iPod touch as necessary. The arm will extend out to 3.75 inches, which is more than enough for the iPhone 6 Plus. Otherwie, the controller appears to be quite similar to the MOGA Pro Power for Android, minus the circular d-pad and the face button colorings. The MOGA Pro Power is a bit of a heavy controller, but the MOGA Rebel uses a smaller battery, as it won’t have a power output to recharge the iPhone or iPod touch, so weight shouldn’t be an issue.
The MOGA store is taking preorders for the Rebel, but we’ll likely find out soon if you can pick one up with your new iPhone on the 17th at an Apple Store or similar retailer. Even if you were burned by the MOGA Ace, the Rebel is worth keeping in mind – MOGA’s full-size Andorid gamepads are some of the best available, and this could be one of the best options out there when all is said and done.
It actually looks good but it's the same ol' KEMCO, someone need to tell them to stop giving birth to RPGs every day, take years off, spend time and resources on a very grand RPG that's nothing like their previous titles.
Ok, this game is currently on a introductory price so I couldn't resist and bought it. I take back some my words. The game is polished, the translation is ... Really good, the UI/menu looks ... Good too, there's voice-over... I think I will enjoy this. I still think KEMCO need to stop releasing RPGs every month, stop with the IAPs (although unnecessary to complete I know), and make a premium grand RPG like no other.
Olive Garden victory dinners. Love your reviews Shaun!
why mention Oilve Garden though? I don't get it.
I wonder when they will make something absolutely, mind-bogglingly great, instead of just continuing to hash out mediocrity.
THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIIIIIISSSSSSSS!!!!!!
Absolutely hilarious title.
It seems Kemco is just trying to pick up money constantly , but they dont realize that lots of JRPG's fans will lose their faith
I'm so sick of Kemco.. These rush-jobs are just JRPG drivel. I'll remember them fondly as the creators of Lagoon. Best game they ever put out.
No, that honor goes to dragon view...
How, exactly, do you pronounce that name?
In my head it sounds like Luh-Fall-See-Ah.
This is essentially how the katakana read (save for 'lu' instead of 'luh'), so I'd say this is correct.
Wouldn't that actually be 'ru'?
Mostly I agree, but I do disagree on two points:
1. The rune system is surprisingly deep. I've spent literally hours trying to place the perfect set of runes in my five characters with the current configuration I have, so that I can just auto attack my enemies to death and steamroll the dungeons. And while the dungeons are not necessarily that riveting, they are quite challenging in how big they are and how expansive. I don't remember playing through such large dungeons since I played Breath of Fire 2 when I was a kid.
2. I think games put out by the Kemco studio have to be understood in the vein of the craze in Japan for visual romance novels. A lot of the conversations characters have in their RPGs seem pulled straight out of the visual romance conversation book, so to speak, with an added RPG system to level up and a slight epic fantasy theme to go by. You can't really classify them like you would a Final Fantasy RPG (references to revolutionary heroes and environmental degradation) or to a Dragon Quest RPG (references to bits and pieces of various cultures, humorous situations that riff on old cliches which become cliches themselves, and vague references to ancient orders). Kemco's RPGs really have nailed the romance novel as an epic fantasy RPG market, and I think there is something to that, even if westerners don't quite get how that is entertaining.
Looks really good to me. I think exe create always does the best ones got kemco. However like all the other titles it will go to 99 cents eventually. Will definitely pick up then😃
"the prickly, somewhat stuck-up heroine who starts off hating the hero but ends up loving him" i.e. a tsundere.
Well, this was helpful.
I was on the fence, but, erh, I do not think I can really stomach another bad JRPG romance, I had my share of those as a teenager. I rather wish more RPGs would go the way of just keeping the romance elements to hints and choices...
After all, I keep seeing people dislike either the love interest or the hero in a large portion of games with a mandatory romance plot and in many other cases, you just end up with different shipper factions.
