Wondering how to get Coin Master free spins? You’ve come to the right place. This is an addictive mobile game by design. It combines the thrill of playing slots with the social battling of Clash of Clans to create something that you just can’t put down; in a good way. The problem is, you so often have to put it down if you’re not willing to fork out the cash for regular spins. That’s understandable when as little as 30 spins will set you back £1.99 in the UK or $1.99 in the US.
In this Coin Master blog, we’re going to provide you with all of the ways you can get your hands on a few free spins and a Coin Master bonus here and there. This will allow you to continue playing long after your daily free spins run out, and provide you with the means of getting extra, without the need to spend your hard-earned money on premium spins in the game’s store. We’d also recommend checking out our Coin Master free cards and Coin Master free coins guides to get even more rewards, and our Pet Master free spins guide if you fancy checking out Moon Active’s latest game.
Here are a bunch of tips to help you get even more free spins in Coin Master.
Each day, Moon Active, Coin Master’s developer, provides a bunch of links that you can follow to get your hands on Coin Master free spins. If you keep on top of this, you can get a steady stream of free stuff for very little effort. You can follow Coin Master on Facebook or Twitter.
Want more? Check out CodesDb for a powerful, searchable database of the latest game codes.
If you sign up for email gifts, you can get yourself a handful of Coin Master free spins every single day just by following a link on your phone. We haven’t encountered any spam from signing up so far either, so it’s a quick and easy method of getting yourself some tasty free spins.
Each time you invite a friend who successfully joins Coin Master through Facebook, you’ll get 40 Coin Master free spins, which is considerable. They don’t even have to actually play the game; they simply have to download it and log in via their Facebook account to get you the free spins. Of course, it’s in both your interests to actually play it, which brings us nicely to our next point.
You can get up to 100 Coin Master free spins per day from friends, though to get to those heights you’ll need 100 active friends who are kind enough to send you a gift each day. Each gift consists of a single free spin.
Unless you’re incredibly popular, it’s highly unlikely that you’ll have 100 friends; let alone 100 that will actually deign to play a game with you. We recommend heading on over to the official Reddit community or Facebook communities to try and find people willing to play with you.
You can get a limited number of Coin Master free spins per day by watching a video ad. Simply scroll to the slot machine and tap on the spin energy button on the bottom right. If it’s not there, you’ve run out of free spins you can get through this method for the day, but if it is, simply tap on it and you’ll watch an ad.
Ironically, you can actually get a ton of Coin Master free spins by, well, spinning. If you get three spin energy symbols in a row, you’ll get a bunch of free spins. Pick up a chain of them and you can spin for ages before you run out.
Each time you level up your village, you’ll get a bunch of Coin Master free spins. It’s not easy though, as it costs a considerable amount of gold to purchase new buildings and improve them, and you have to purchase every single one of them, including improvements, to level up. That’s going to cost a lot of spins, as it is.
Looking for a new game? Take a look at our Free Fire redeem codes, My Singing Monsters breeding guide, or even our Pokédex!
There’s almost always at least one event happening in Coin Master, and it can absolutely shower you with free spins. While viewing the slot machine, look at the top right of the screen. Any virtual buttons that you can see beneath the menu (which is displayed as three lines) are an event. Tap on one and you’ll see what each event involves.
Take advantage of these events and you can get yourself a lot more Coin Master free spins than usual.
This is an obvious suggestion, but it’s actually worth taking into consideration. You get five free spins every single hour, and you can only hold a maximum of 50 spins at any one time. That means every ten hours you’ll hit the maximum number of spins, and any Coin Master free spins you would have earned after that will cease to exist.
So, we recommend setting a reminder to visit Coin Master every ten hours at least to spend your spins so you are always earning more. You’ll actually end up earning a huge number of extra spins if you’re dedicated, so it’s totally worth doing.
Now, we’ll answer a bunch of questions you may have regarding getting Coin Master free spins.
Yes, the daily links that we include at the top of this page expire after three days, which is why we only include those from today and the two days prior.
Coin Master 50 spin rewards most commonly appear during in-game events, like those that reward you for raiding or battling other players. There’s also a small chance to get this number from daily links, so bookmark this page and check back often.
Yes, though it doesn’t appear to happen often from daily links. We’d recommend playing often and participating in events, and following the social media channels to find out what’s happening soon.
We’ve never seen a Coin Master 70 spin reward appear as part of the daily links, but it has been known to appear as part of special events.
To get your hands on this rare reward, we would recommend playing on a daily basis and following social media channels to get an indication of when the next big event will take place.
Yes, though not from the daily links. We’ve seen this number of free spins appear often during in-game events, most notably for those that reward you for raiding and participating in PvP battles.
Play often and follow the social media channels for events to keep an eye out for this.
Again, 50,000 Coin Master spin rewards don’t seem to appear as part of the daily rewards cycle, but have been known to crop up during events. Follow the socials and play regularly to get the best chance at this reward.
And that will just about do it for our Coin Master free spins guide. For something a little different, why not take a look at our guide to answers for Wordle today? And if you’re looking for something new to play, check out our best mobile games list.
We love a good RPG, and one of the very best on Switch was Fire Emblem: Three Houses just a few short years ago. If like us, you wondered what Nintendo could even do next to improve the formula, along comes a fresh new game to show us, and the Fire Emblem Engage Emblems mechanic is a fantastic way to add some variety to your troops, laying on some serious fan service for fans that have been along for the ride over the years.
Ever wanted to go into battle with the ghost of Marth at your side? Fancy swinging your sword with the spirit of Lynn? Maybe even riding into a raid with an apparition or Roy? There are a lot of Fire Emblem characters from the game’s many entries over the years, so the possibilities for Fire Emblem Engage Emblems are huge. And who knows, if the game is a huge success maybe we can even get a few more Fire Emblem characters in Smash? If you can’t wait to explore Elyios, be sure to check out our guides to the best Switch RPGs, and the best Switch strategy games next.
Let’s dive into our Fire Emblem Engage Emblems guide.
Fire Emblem Engage Emblems are the spirits of heroes from previous Fire Emblem games, and they can be equipped as companions by all of the main characters in Fire Emblem Engage. The Emblems give each regular unit a power increase, as well as add additional moves and weapon combinations to their move pool.
You can also fuse with Emblems on the battlefield to unlock the engage skills, giving your units new powerful moves and special abilities. These buffs all increase stats, and give a considerable power boost to your regular units like Alear. Finally, you can also use Emblems to unleash the powerful engage attack to overwhelm and destroy your opponents. The engage status can only be used for three turns, but as you continue to battle you can refill the meter to use the powerful boost at the most opportune time.
We don’t know yet exactly how these moves or abilities are unlocked or utilised, but we will update this guide as soon as more information is available.
Possibly the most recognizable face of Fire Emblem thanks to their appearance in Super Smash Bros over the years, Marth is a powerful sword user who first appeared in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, and its sequel Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem. While we don’t know exactly how his emblem will work yet, but we know he has unique skills such as lodestar rush, divine speed, and unyielding.
Hailing from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, the tutor Byleth fittingly has the skill called instructor, which can be used to boost the stats of any units nearby. They also have the skill goddess dance which not only increases stats but also allows the nearby units to act again. Byleth will be useful a support character and could be essential for helping to power up weaker units that need a boost.
Lyn is a powerful brawler that uses skills that prevent foes from counter-attacking. She also has a skill known as astra storm that allows her to unleash five attacks from a distance, making her a huge threat almost anywhere on the field.
Celica has a unique skill called echo that allows her to split up her magic attacks and unleash spells on two targets at once. She also has a unique skill called warp ragnarok that allows her to warp to a faraway space and attack from there. Celica will likely be crucial at picking off weak targets and helping gain control of the map.
Sigurd has amazing mobility out of the roster of Fire Emblem Engage Emblems, and his gallop engage skill vastly increases movement. Sigurd’s other engage skill override allows him to move through a line of foes and do damage at the same time, helping the player to get out of sticky situations.
From Fire Emblem Fates, Corrin has a dragon vein skill that allows her to remove hazards from the battlefield such as fire, or she can imbue tiles with healing effects to help turn the tide in battle. She also has a powerful engage skill called torrential roar that reaches all enemies in front and adds the water effect to the terrain as well.
That’s all we have for now folks, but we already know there are at least twelve Emblem rings in Fire Emblem Engage, so we expect to be updating this guide with even more heroes from the series’ past. Luckily we don’t have long to wait, as the Fire Emblem Engage release date is right around the corner.
The narrative of Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair wouldn’t be anywhere near as impactful if it weren’t for the wide and varied cast of Danganronpa 2 characters that propel it. From a psycho-theraputic bear to a perverted chef, the iconic individuals at the heart of this treacherous tale are truly intriguing. So let’s take a look at each and every one of them, along with their ultimate titles and general personalities.
If you want to get familiar with students from Hope’s Peak Academy’s other classes, check out our Danganronpa characters and Danganronpa V3 characters guides. We also have an extensive Danganronpa sprites gallery, and guides to the best Danganronpa wallpapers and Danganronpa figures.
A rabbit magical girl and the lead teacher of Danganronpa 2: Goodby Despair’s school trip, Usami was originally created using Ultimate Programmer Chihiro Fujisaki’s research in A.I. programming. Designed as a part of a psycho-theraputic virtual reality rehabilitation program, she was intended to help those who have experienced trauma. She’s gentle and kind-hearted, but often can be quite naive and easily tricked. Her sole purpose is to encourage love, friendship, and good manners.
However, as she set about her task helping students, a virus infected the virtual Neo World Program island where she worked, allowing Monokuma to enter the simulation. Monokuma used the virus to overpower her and strip her magical abilities, changing her appearance to resemble him, and renaming her Monomi. After this, the students begin to distrust her, and Monokuma forces her to sit back and watch the chaos unfold.
A student of Hope’s Peak Academy’s Class 77-B, Hajime Hinata is a realist with a sceptical personality, and as such is often prone to worrying more than his peers. He’s logical and comes across as both serious and quite cynical, but he still manages to get along and joke with his fellow classmates. Hajima grew up dreaming of attending Hope’s Peak Academy, aspiring to become something bigger than himself, but can’t remember his ‘Ultimate’ title. As such, he’s known as Ultimate ???.
The Ultimate Gymnast of Hope’s Peak Academy’s Class 77-B, Akane Owari is a fiery young lady that loves a good, old fashioned fistfight. Always eager for a challenge, she respects those who are physically strong and seems to believe that most problems can be solved with a punch.
The Ultimate Imposter is a student of Hope’s Peak Academy’s Class 77-B who most notably imitates Byakuya Togami, the Ultimate Affluent Progeny from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. Their true personality is tough to pin down, as they spend most of their time impersonating others. However, in brief moments of vulnerability, they are shown to be polite and mild-mannered, with a generally kind and caring personality and a severe lack of self-esteem.
Chiaki Nanami is the Ultimate Gamer of Hope’s Peak Academy’s Class 77-B. As her title suggests, she’s extremely passionate about all forms of videogames and becomes quite animated when talking about them. Outside of this, she’s quite quiet and often sleepy, and has been known to doze off while standing up, even occasionally forgetting to breathe when absorbed in a game.
Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu holds the title of the Ultimate Yakuza in Hope’s Peak Academy’s Class 77-B due to his shady Yakuza ties. He initially comes across as rude and stand-ofish towards his peers, claiming that he doesn’t plan on pretending to make friends with anyone else on the island and wouldn’t hesitate to kill others if required. However, after an incident later in the game, he realises his mistakes and becomes more sociable and less prone to insulting others – though he’s still pretty short-tempered and impulsive.
The Ultimate Breeder of Hope’s Peak Academy’s Class 77-B, Gundham Tanaka is not the most sympathetic when it comes to humans, but has a deep compassion and love for animals. Despite declaring himself as a ‘Supreme Overlord of Ice’ and his animals as ‘evil minions’, he reveals himself to be quite insecure, claiming that anything that can talk will ‘eventually betray you’.
Hiyoko Sanji is Hope’s Peak Academy’s Ultimate Traditional Dancer of Class 77-B. She may appear cute and childlike, but she quickly reveals herself to be cruel and malicious, finding sadistic enjoyment in killing flowers, small animals, and insects. She has a high sense of superiority, often easily manipulating people to do her bidding, and having tantrums if she doesn’t get her way. Hiyoko comes from a traditionalist family and has grown to love Japanese culture and traditions dearly, and often insults and degrades other cultures in comparison.
The Ultimate Musician of Hope’s Peak Academy’s Class 77-B, Ibuki Mioda is a bold and upbeat rockstar with an outgoing personality. She’s quirky and energetic, with a passion for talking and going off on bizarre, unrelated tangents. She’s also very forgetful, and often has to write memos to help her remember things. Ibuki is also a tremendous flirt who admires pretty girls, but appears to have no interest in getting into a relationship. And, despite her occasional insensitivity towards other people, she also shows herself to be very wise and contemplative on occasion.
Taking the title of Class 77-B’s Ultimate Mechanic at Hope’s Peak Academy, Kazuichi Soda carries around a wrench almost everywhere he goes, tinkering and attempting to repair any broken items he comes across. He’s a bad liar and has no verbal filter, often blurting his thoughts without a second thought, and appears to have low self-esteem and some trust issues. Throughout the game he displays an intense, borderline perverted crush on Sonia However, this appears to be a shallow attraction more than anything else.
Mahiru Koizumi is the Ultimate Photographer of Hope’s Peak Academy’s Class 77-B, who compares her work to that of her mother – a famous war photographer whose work often led to her absence from Mahiru’s life. Mahiru’s father wasn’t cut out for parenthood either, and much of the household responsibilities and cleaning were left to her from a young age, leading her to become a very mature and responsible individual. She’s pretty optimistic and outgoing, and very kind to others, leading to her taking almost a motherly role among some of her peers, but she also has her own insecurities and self-esteem issues.
Having been consistently bullied and abused throughout her life, Mikan Tsumiki is an extremely meek and timid young woman, often breaking down in tears, apologising, and stuttering with little provocation. However, when taking on work associated with her role as Hope’s Peak Academy’s Ultimate Nurse of Class 77-B, she becomes far more confident, showing her extensive knowledge of healthcare.
Hope’s Peak Academy’s Ultimate Lucky Student of Class 77-B, Nagito Komaeda is a polite and easy-going young man who often acts as mediator during team conflicts. He’s very caring and friendly, but also reveals a level of insecurity, often taking on a submissive and self-deprecating attitude.
Making a name for himself by training athletes to top-notch standards, Nekomaru Nidai is the Ultimate Team Manager of Hope’s Peak Academy’s Class 77-B. He takes pride in his title as he highlights that no athlete could make it to the top without a manager’s help.
Having advanced talents in baseball, figure skating, tennis, and more, he’s certainly got the room to put his money where his mouth is, and his rigorous training techniques and unbeatable sports massages have helped many climb the leaderboards in their sport of choice. As expected of a man with his talents, Nekomaru is a boisterous, passionate, and vigorous student.
The sharp Ultimate Swordsman of Hope’s Peak Academy’s Class 77-B, Peko Pekoyama was raised as a ‘tool’ for the Kuzuryu clan, and as such sees herself as more of a weapon than a human. She’s quite stoic, and can come across as both intimidating and highly serious, though she is never impolite or antisocial. She’s quite reserved and rarely shows emotion, though she has a kind heart and clearly cares deeply about her fellow students.
As is expected of Hope’s Peak Academy’s Ultimate Princess of Class 77-B, Sonia Nevermind is a polite and regal young woman with a great interest in Japanese culture. She’s kind-hearted and thoughtful, and, due to her title and sheltered former life, she finds commonplace items and ordinary tasks intriguing.
She’s a foreigner, resulting in occasionally stumbling over figures of speech, slang, and colloquialisms, and sometimes unnerves her peers with her morbid fascination with serial killers and the occult. Her upbringing has resulted in her being somewhat ditzy and naive, but she proves herself to be very intelligent and capable of complex political analysis.
Teruteru Hanamura is the Ultimate Cook of Hope’s Peak Acadmey’s Class 77-B, and, as such, is a very talented and prideful chef. However, when he’s not cooking up food, he’s cooking up trouble with his lewd comments and flirtatious mannerisms.
He’s almost always hitting on someone, regardless of whether they’re male or female, and is known to take his behaviour far beyond innuendo – often touching people without their consent, and even drugging people’s food. His crude, hyper-sexual nature often makes his peers feel very uncomfortable around him, though he can be generally kind and compassionate outside of his inappropriate behaviour.
And there you have it – every major Danganronpa 2 character. If you’re on the hunt for a new titillating tale to lose yourself in, check out our list of the best visual novel games on mobile and Switch.
It’s not often we sweat when playing video games, but I perspire whenever I have to make a narrative decision in a game, or when I’m knocking back fastballs in Nintendo Switch Sports. Well, up until now I’ve had to deal with my sweat in incredibly generic ways, but it seems Nintendo has decided to solve the problem I didn’t know I had with the Nintendo Switch Sports towel reward.
Players with a Nintendo Switch Online account and a My Nintendo Store UK account can wander on over and peruse the My Nintendo Store exclusive rewards. For the princely sum of 500 platinum points, this lovely piece of merch can be yours, and you can live out the ultimate tennis fantasy of throwing in the towel for real when you lose.
This new reward is another great piece for collectors on top of the recent Rabbids keyring, and other great physical selections like the Nintendo hanafuda postcard set. It’s a great way to actually spend all those platinum points, and like other rewards, you simply have to cover the cost of postage to claim these fun little goodies. With the Nintendo Switch Sports golf update about to drop, this could be the perfect way to cool down after nailing all those…birdies? I don’t know, I don’t play golf.
If you’re a huge Nintendo Switch Sports fan then get a glimpse of the upcoming golf update with the latest trailer below.
Well, that’s it for today, sports fans. We love this reward and will bat-tle to grab one ourselves later on, and of court-s we hope you get one too. If you want to find another way to share a game with pals, be sure to check out our guide to the best Switch sports games next.
Wondering how to get Coin Master free spins? You’ve come to the right place. This is an addictive mobile game by design. It combines the thrill of playing slots with the social battling of Clash of Clans to create something that you just can’t put down; in a good way. The problem is, you so often have to put it down if you’re not willing to fork out the cash for regular spins. That’s understandable when as little as 30 spins will set you back £1.99 in the UK or $1.99 in the US.
In this Coin Master blog, we’re going to provide you with all of the ways you can get your hands on a few free spins and a Coin Master bonus here and there. This will allow you to continue playing long after your daily free spins run out, and provide you with the means of getting extra, without the need to spend your hard-earned money on premium spins in the game’s store. We’d also recommend checking out our Coin Master free cards and Coin Master free coins guides to get even more rewards, and our Pet Master free spins guide if you fancy checking out Moon Active’s latest game.
Coin Master free spins November 19
Here are a bunch of tips to help you get even more free spins in Coin Master.
Each day, Moon Active, Coin Master’s developer, provides a bunch of links that you can follow to get your hands on Coin Master free spins. If you keep on top of this, you can get a steady stream of free stuff for very little effort. You can follow Coin Master on Facebook or Twitter.
Want more? Check out CodesDb for a powerful, searchable database of the latest game codes.
If you sign up for email gifts, you can get yourself a handful of Coin Master free spins every single day just by following a link on your phone. We haven’t encountered any spam from signing up so far either, so it’s a quick and easy method of getting yourself some tasty free spins.
Each time you invite a friend who successfully joins Coin Master through Facebook, you’ll get 40 Coin Master free spins, which is considerable. They don’t even have to actually play the game; they simply have to download it and log in via their Facebook account to get you the free spins. Of course, it’s in both your interests to actually play it, which brings us nicely to our next point.
You can get up to 100 Coin Master free spins per day from friends, though to get to those heights you’ll need 100 active friends who are kind enough to send you a gift each day. Each gift consists of a single free spin.
Unless you’re incredibly popular, it’s highly unlikely that you’ll have 100 friends; let alone 100 that will actually deign to play a game with you. We recommend heading on over to the official Reddit community or Facebook communities to try and find people willing to play with you.
You can get a limited number of Coin Master free spins per day by watching a video ad. Simply scroll to the slot machine and tap on the spin energy button on the bottom right. If it’s not there, you’ve run out of free spins you can get through this method for the day, but if it is, simply tap on it and you’ll watch an ad.
Ironically, you can actually get a ton of Coin Master free spins by, well, spinning. If you get three spin energy symbols in a row, you’ll get a bunch of free spins. Pick up a chain of them and you can spin for ages before you run out.
Each time you level up your village, you’ll get a bunch of Coin Master free spins. It’s not easy though, as it costs a considerable amount of gold to purchase new buildings and improve them, and you have to purchase every single one of them, including improvements, to level up. That’s going to cost a lot of spins, as it is.
Looking for a new game? Take a look at our Free Fire redeem codes, My Singing Monsters breeding guide, or even our Pokédex!
There’s almost always at least one event happening in Coin Master, and it can absolutely shower you with free spins. While viewing the slot machine, look at the top right of the screen. Any virtual buttons that you can see beneath the menu (which is displayed as three lines) are an event. Tap on one and you’ll see what each event involves.
Take advantage of these events and you can get yourself a lot more Coin Master free spins than usual.
This is an obvious suggestion, but it’s actually worth taking into consideration. You get five free spins every single hour, and you can only hold a maximum of 50 spins at any one time. That means every ten hours you’ll hit the maximum number of spins, and any Coin Master free spins you would have earned after that will cease to exist.
So, we recommend setting a reminder to visit Coin Master every ten hours at least to spend your spins so you are always earning more. You’ll actually end up earning a huge number of extra spins if you’re dedicated, so it’s totally worth doing.
Now, we’ll answer a bunch of questions you may have regarding getting Coin Master free spins.
Yes, the daily links that we include at the top of this page expire after three days, which is why we only include those from today and the two days prior.
Coin Master 50 spin rewards most commonly appear during in-game events, like those that reward you for raiding or battling other players. There’s also a small chance to get this number from daily links, so bookmark this page and check back often.
Yes, though it doesn’t appear to happen often from daily links. We’d recommend playing often and participating in events, and following the social media channels to find out what’s happening soon.
We’ve never seen a Coin Master 70 spin reward appear as part of the daily links, but it has been known to appear as part of special events.
To get your hands on this rare reward, we would recommend playing on a daily basis and following the social media channels to get an indication of when the next big event will take place.
Yes, though not from the daily links. We’ve seen this number of free spins appear often during in-game events, most notably for those that reward you for raiding and participating in PvP battles.
Play often and follow the social media channels for events to keep an eye out for this.
Again, 50,000 Coin Master spin rewards don’t seem to appear as part of the daily rewards cycle, but have been known to crop up during events. Follow the socials and play regularly to get the best chance at this reward.

After its initial launch in the 90s, Resident Evil has become an icon of the horror genre, a landmark for spooky games on consoles, and simply one of the most endearing entries in the genre. After a stellar remake for the Gamecube a few years later, the classic was even better, and now nobody has an excuse not to play this incredible game. If you’re dipping in, then you might want to get to know the Resident Evil characters first.
This guide covers the main players from the original Resident Evil title and its remake, but we’ll also delve into the primary characters from the many other titles over the years. Anybody recurring and important to the Umbrella story, we’ll pop them in here. It’s a big old series with a lot of characters, so do forgive us if we miss your fave, but we’ll be coming back to add more to this guide over time.
Let’s dive into our Resident Evil characters guide.
Born in 1973, Chris Redfield is one of the two playable characters in the first Resident Evil game, and one of the most important characters in all of the events preceding it. Chris is a huge fella that uses his power and speed to get through. In Resident Evil (1996), Chris has to deal with more enemies, each of which is more powerful than in Jill’s playthrough. So while he may be tougher, the game balances this out with a rougher ride. Players also only unlock the flamethrower in Chris’ story path.
Chris originally worked for the Air Force before STARS (Special Tactics and Rescue Service) recruited him in Raccoon City. After the Spencer Mansion incident, Chris appears and is playable in Resident Evil: Code Veronica, Resident Evil; The Umbrella Chronicles, Resident Evil 5, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, Resident Evil 6, Resident Evil Revelations, Resident Evil 7 DLC, and Resident Evil Village.
If you want to know even more about this iconic character, make sure you check out our Resident Evil Chris guide.
Born in 1974, Jill Valentine is one of the two playable characters in the original Resident Evil and is one of the most important characters in the series. She was recruited to STARS by Albert Wesker in 1996, shortly before the Spencer mansion incident, and so has been at the heart of most bio-weapons and bio-terrorism events ever since. She’s smart, strong, and has repeatedly shown that she has a good heart and will go out of her way to protect people when she can.
Appearing over multiple titles, Jill Valentine is at the heart of everything going on. After Resident Evil (1996) and its remake, she appears as a playable character in Resident Evil 3 (and its remake), she pops up in Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, and is playable in Resident Evil: Revelations as well. While not playable, she’s also an important part of Resident Evil 5. She hasn’t been seen canonically for some time, unlike Chris Redfield, so here’s hoping future titles finish her story.
To discover even more about this badass heroine, check out our Resident Evil Jill guide.
Born in 1960, Albert Wesker pops up in the original Resident Evil as a member of STARS, though it’s quickly apparent that there’s much more to him than it seems. Wesker has deep ties to the Umbrella Corporation and was picked up as a child to serve the company, being groomed as a child protege with the intention of serving Umbrella forever. He’s been behind the scenes of many different bio-weapon events ever since, and he even experiments with the effects of bio-weapons like the T-Virus on himself to give him superhuman powers and abilities.
While rarely playable outside of mercenaries mode, Albert Wesker still pops up more often than toast, making an appearance in Resident Evil (1996), Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Resident Evil: Code Veronica, Resident Evil 0, Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 5, and Resident Evil 6. He has also appeared in nearly all adaptations of Resident Evil to screen, recently being played by Lance Reddick for the Netflix show also called Resident Evil.
Find out more about this shady villain in our Resident Evil Wesker guide.
Born in 1960, Barry Burton joined STARS in 1996. Previously serving in the Air Force, Barry has a wife called Kathy, and two daughters named Moira and Polly. Moira herself later pops up in Resident Evil Revelations 2. When Barry was working in STARS, he became good friends with Chris Redfield, eventually becoming a weapons expert, and finally moving onto another military operation known as the BSAA (Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance).
While not quite as prolific as some characters, Barry does turn up in a few other Resident Evil projects, namely Resident Evil 5, and as a playable character in Resident Evil Revelations 2. RER2 sees Barry searching for his daughter Moira who is kidnapped by a terrorist organisation, but upon arrival, teaming up with a young girl with mysterious psychic powers to track her down.
Born in 1963, Brad Vickers is one of the STARS members initially involved in the Spencer Mansion incident. There’s little information on his training or combat skills, but we do know he was a skilled pilot and a computer expert. Upon arriving at the mansion in search of missing STARS members, Vickers was quickly overwhelmed by the situation and took off in the helicopter, leaving the remaining members without their equipment.
Eventually, he composes himself, and after flying around the areas until daybreak, Vickers drops down a rocket launcher to help the STARS team in their battle with the superhuman zombie known as the Tyrant. Brad Vickers briefly turns up again in Resident Evil 3, but he doesn’t last very long…
One of the original STARS members at the Spencer Mansion incident, Joseph Frost was born in 1971, and was a bright and optimistic man who enjoyed danger. Upon arriving at the scene, Joseph is the person to discover the body of Kevin Dooley, the STARS pilot of the previous mission. Shortly afterwards, Frost runs off into the forest to try and find out more information, only to be attacked and viciously mutilated by a pack of zombie dogs known as the Cerberus. He doesn’t show up in any other resident Evil games.
Ok, folks, that’s all we have for now, but do come back for even more Resident Evil characters in the future. If you just can’t wait and want more great content now, be sure to check out our articles covering Resident Evil Ethan, and Resident Evil 2 characters next.
Welcome to our Neural Cloud tier list, where we rank all the best units to summon, upgrade, and battle with in this fresh sci-fi strategy gacha card game. Dividing characters by class, along with early and end game content, this guide sets out to help you build up your ultimate team of butt-kicking waifus (and the occasional husbando). And, if you don’t get the gals you want, we’ve also included a Neural Cloud reroll guide for your convenience.
For some handy freebies to give you an extra boost in this fantastical waifu world, check out our Neural Cloud codes. Or, you can head over to our Sword Art Online VS tier list, AFK Arena tier list, or our guide to the best gacha games for even more gacha goodness.
This data is based on both our personal experiences and community rankings from the English CBT, and only covers the characters’ talents in PvE content. We’ll add a PvP tier list or adjust the rankings for overall gameplay in the future.
A massive shoutout goes to this comprehensive spreadsheet created by members of the Neural Cloud Official Discord, which played a big part in our rankings, and offers great advice for team building under the ‘general info’ tab. Be sure to join the Discord for even more guides, handy tips, and game-related discussions.
We’ve split the tier list into roles, and each role has a unique early game and end game tier list. This is due to the fact that certain characters improve as you progress through the game, while others don’t have as many powerful upgrades and struggle against the harder content you face later in the game.

If you don’t get the characters you want the first time around, you can perform a Neural Cloud reroll. The reroll process takes around 20 minutes each time, so keep that in mind before making your decision.
Begin by launching Neural Cloud. You can start by selecting ‘play as guest’, though this requires you to wipe your data or uninstall and reinstall the game each reroll.
Alternatively, we recommend signing up to a Sunborn account each time you want to reroll by entering your email with a plus sign and a number after it. For example, [email protected], [email protected], etc. This tricks the system into thinking that it’s a new email address each time, while still sending the verification code to your usual email address inbox.
Next, proceed to the following steps:
If you’re happy with your pulls, continue to play the game. If not, return to the title screen and switch to a new Sunborn account, then repeat the steps above.
That’s all we’ve got in our Neural Cloud tier list and reroll guide. We’ll update this page as new characters, balances, and units crop up. In the meantime, head over to our list of the best mobile MMORPGs or the best Switch RPGs to find your next adventure.
Portable gaming consoles are big business right now. In fact, it feels like we’re seeing some of the best portable gaming consoles in recent years. Whether it’s the runaway success of the Nintendo Switch since its launch in 2017, or the hubbub around Valve’s brand-new handheld PC, the Steam Deck, it’s hot stuff. Better yet, we’ve got years of handheld gaming experience at our disposal to help you find the best one for your needs.
It’s not just big game companies getting in on the act, however. There’s GPD, Ayaneo, Playdate, and the OneXPlayer all vying for market share and gaining lots of popularity in recent years. And there’s also a bunch of the best gaming phones ever available, though we’re focused on larger, controller-having counterparts here. But how many get to be ranked among the best handheld gaming consoles you can buy today?
That’s where we’re here to help. Rather than endless Googling and scrolling through spec sheets and individual reviews, our on-the-go gaming expertise is on hand to offer up a clear and concise list of the best portable gaming consoles available now. And, if you’re looking for ideas on what to play once you’re in the portable realm, check out our best Switch games and best mobile games lists to make sure you’re ready for endless videogame fun.
Here are the best portable gaming consoles on the market:
The best handheld gaming console is the Nintendo Switch OLED. Its RRP is set at $349.99 / £309.99, though you can often find it cheaper in bundles.
| Nintendo Switch OLED specs | |
| CPU/GPU | NVIDIA Custom Tegra processor |
| Display | 1280×720 7.0 inch OLED touchscreen |
| Battery | 4310mAh lithium-ion battery |
| Memory | 4 GB RAM |
| Storage | 64 GB flash storage (expandable up to 2TB with microSD/SDHC/SDXC cards) |
Pros
Cons
The Nintendo Switch OLED is undoubtedly the best portable gaming console on the market today. While it technically has a smaller library than the Steam Deck, current early issues mean that a lot of games don’t run quite right on Valve’s console.
The Nintendo Switch, however, has an exceptional library of first-party games from one of the best developers in history, Nintendo. Whether it’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Bayonetta 3, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, or all manner of exceptional indie titles, the Switch’s success has helped fill its library with plenty of excellent games to play.
The console itself has an excellent, bright, and colourful OLED screen, good ergonomics, and the built-in ability to play on your TV at no extra cost. It’s excellently versatile, packed with great games, and easily the best handheld gaming console out there. The only downside, really, is Joy-Con drift, but there are plenty of alternative Switch controllers to solve that issue.

The best handheld gaming PC is the Steam Deck. It costs $399/ £349 for the 64GB HDD, $529 / £459 for the 256GB SSD, and $649 / £569 for the 512GB SSD models.
| Valve Steam Deck specs | |
| CPU | AMD Zen 2 4c/8t, 2.4-3.5GHz (up to 448 GFlops FP32) |
| GPU | AMD RDNA 2 CUs, 1.0-1.6GHz (up to 1.6 TFlops FP32) |
| Display | 7-inch 1280×800 60Hz IPS LCD (400 nits typical brightness) |
| Battery | 40Whr battery (2-8 hours of gameplay) |
| Memory | 16 GB LPDDR5 on-board RAM |
| Storage | 64 GB eMMC / 256 GB NVMe SSD / 512 GB high-speed NVMe SSD |
Pros
Cons
If you want as much freedom as possible, you probably disagree that the Nintendo Switch is the best portable gaming console, and that’s fair. The magic of Valve’s Steam Deck means that it’s very close to the best handheld gaming console in our eyes, and clearly the best portable gaming PC available at the moment.
With surprisingly good controls, huge amounts of freedom in the games you can choose from, and more than enough power for the majority of games out there, it is excellent. Downsides? Some games won’t work straight out of the box, and either require a little bit of tweaking on your end or the developer’s end.
With enough time, these issues could be fixed, and the Steam Deck could be the de facto leader in the handheld space (maybe if it’s a tad smaller, too – it’s a bit too big for our liking right now).

The best handheld gaming console for unique indie games is the Playdate. It costs $179 (around £130), and it’s set to be available from early 2023 at the time of writing.
| Playdate specs | |
| CPU | 68MHz Cortex M7 |
| Display | 400×240 1-bit display |
| Battery | 8 hours of active use |
| Memory | 16MB |
| Storage | 4 GB flash storage |
Pros
Cons
In our Playdate review, we call it a “bright yellow embodiment of the joy of playing and indie gaming spirit.” There’s little else to sum it up than that, really. The Playdate is a tiny handheld with buttons on the face and a crank handle on the side.
This crank has led to many inventive gaming experiences, and the console makers drew in many great indie devs to contribute, like the minds behind Cursed to Golf, Chuhai Labs, Bennet Foddy of Getting Over It fame, or Return of the Obra Dinn creator Lucas Pope.
Sure, it’s an incredibly limited console, but with a roster of devs that good, it’s definitely worth a try. And look how cute and creative it is! To us, it’s one of the best handheld game consoles just for its inventiveness.

The best handheld gaming console with a small form factor is the Ayaneo Air. It starts between $569 (around £490) and can scale all the way up to $1249 (around £1100) depending on the configuration you go for.
| Ayaneo Air specs | |
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 5 5560U / 7 5825U |
| GPU | AMD Radeon RX Vega 6 / Vega 8 |
| Display | 5.5-inch 1920×1080 AMOLED touchscreen |
| Battery | 28 Wh (7,350 mAh) / 38 Wh (10,050 mAh) |
| Memory | 8 GB LPDDR4x-3200, 16 GB / 32 GB LPDDR4x-4266 |
| Storage | 128 GB-2 TB SSD |
Pros
Cons
The Ayaneo Air is tiny. What’s more, it’s also surprisingly powerful given its form factor. It’s a console packed with features too, with hall effect joysticks (meaning no drift!) with RGB light rings under them, an OLED screen, and expandable storage. It’s one of the best handheld gaming consoles if you’re short on space.
There are some issues, however. With less power than others on the market, it can occasionally limit you. The Aya Space operating system could also do with a bit of polish, while if you turn the TDP up this little thing can get big hot.
These are the sacrifices you make, however, to have such a tiny and powerful portable gaming console. And, if you can stomach the price, this device doesn’t have any competition in the ultra-small handheld PC market.
Keep up to date with the Ayaneo 2 release date for all the latest on the company’s next handheld.
The best handheld gaming console for retro games is the Analogue Pocket. Expect to pay around $219 (around £190), though there are long waits for delivery.
| Analogue Pocket specs | |
| Circuit | Field-programmable gate array |
| Display | 3.5″ 1600×1440 LCD (615ppi) |
| Battery | 4300mAh lithium-ion |
| Storage | microSD card slot |
Pros
Cons
The Analogue Pocket is the perfect version of the Game Boy, with a better screen, materials, and buttons, and a wider array of games to choose from. Whether it’s Game Boy, Game Boy Color, or Game Boy Advance, your Nintendo needs are covered.
It doesn’t stop there, though. If you have an adapter you can play Sega Game Gear, Neo Geo Pocket/Color, Atari Lynx, and TurboGrafx-16 games too.
All of this is without any emulation, which is exceptional. Downsides? It’s somewhat expensive, but I bet you it’s worth it to any diehard retro game player.
The most versatile handheld gaming PC is the GPD Win Max 2. Expect to pay between $999 / £1,000 and $1,299 / £1,200 depending on the configuration.
| GPD Win Max 2 specs | |
| CPU | Intel Core i7-1260P / AMD Ryzen 7 6800U |
| GPU | Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics / AMD Radeon 680M (integrated) |
| Display | 10.1-inch 1920×1200 IPS touchscreen |
| Battery | 67Wh lithium-polymer |
| Memory | 16GB LPDDR5 5200 MT/s / 16GB/32GB LPDDR5-6400 MT/s |
| Storage | 1TB/2TB NVMe SSD |
Pros
Cons
Oh no, that photo above isn’t wrong, friends. This is one of the best handheld gaming consoles, I promise, but it also doubles as a tiny little laptop. With a full keyboard below your standard gaming controller setup, the GPD Win Max 2 is a little odd at first, but looks can be deceiving – this thing is an excellent gaming machine.
Once you’re all done playing games though, what if you need to pause and write up a list of the best portable gaming consoles? Well, you can, as, with a lovely keyboard at your disposal, the GPD Win Max 2 is also great for on-the-go work-doing.
Downsides? The built-in controller is a little clunky due to positioning, though you may be surprised – it’s still comfier than it has any right to be. Oh, and it’s one of the most expensive devices on this list.
The best handheld gaming console below $200 the Nintendo Switch Lite. Expect to pay $198 / £190 unless you find a good deal or bundle.
| Nintendo Switch Lite specs | |
| Chip | NVIDIA Custom Tegra processor |
| Display | 5.5-inch 1,280×720 LCD touchscreen |
| Battery | 3570mAh lithium-ion battery |
| Memory | 4 GB RAM |
| Storage | 32 GB flash storage (expandable up to 2TB with microSD/SDHC/SDXC cards) |
Pros
Cons
For $200, the Nintendo Switch Lite is incredible value to anybody looking to get into portable gaming but not break the bank. With exactly the same library as its bigger brother, the Lite is great for bedtime games or if there are any kids in the house you don’t want breaking a half-a-grand Steam Deck.
It also comes in a great range of colours (blue, pink, yellow, grey, plus a bunch of special editions) and has decent buttons for such a little thing, making it one of the best handheld gaming consoles on a budget.
Downsides? The screen is small and a bit fuzzy compared to others on the market, and you can’t connect the Nintendo Switch Lite to the television. But still, for portable gaming on a budget, this is the way to go.
The best Steam Deck alternative is the OneXPlayer. Expect to pay between $899 / £800 and $1,499 / £1,300 depending on your configuration.
| OneXPlayer specs | |
| CPU | Intel Core i7-1195G7 / AMD Ryzen 6800U |
| GPU | Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics / AMD Radeon 680M (integrated) |
| Display | 8.4-inch 2560×1600 IPS, 358 PPI |
| Battery | 59Wh |
| Memory | 16GB DDR4-4266 |
| Storage | 512GB/1TB/2TB of SSD |
Pros
Cons
Do you really hate Valve for some reason? Do you want to spend more money on a handheld PC? Do you really, really need an Intel CPU? Well, buddy, have I got the best handheld gaming console for you.
In all seriousness, if you want a more traditional control scheme and more ergonomic design overall, the OneXPlayer is a good Steam Deck alternative. While it isn’t as powerful on the GPU side, it’s incredibly close in terms of performance.
Still, it has some OS issues and isn’t the same polished product the Steam Deck is overall. If you need it, however, it’s there (for almost twice the price!).

Game Boy nostalgia seems at an all-time high recently, with premium devices like the Analogue Pocket, the Retroid Pocket, and the Miyoo Mini among many others helping gamers to play some of their old favourite portable titles in the modern day. Well, things just got even more retro, as Crunchyroll is developing a physical Game Boy Colour game.
Called Hime’s Quest, the GBC title sees Crunchyroll mascot Crunchyroll-Hime set out on an epic adventure through haunted forests, mirage-filled deserts, and much more. The title is faithful to the pixel-art style of original Game Boy Colour titles, and the physical version will of course be able to run on original hardware. So, when is the Hime’s Quest release date?
Crunchyroll has announced the release will be a collaboration with Limited Run, and pre-orders are set to open on November 18, 2022, and will close on December 23, 2022. The game is expected to ship in May 2023. Hime’s Quest comes on a bright orange cart that brings back the glory of the 90s coloured cartridges, and alongside the box is a poster featuring Crunchyroll-Hime as well. If you’re a huge Crunchyroll fan and a retro-obsessed collector, this great-looking game could be just for you.
Watch the trailer for Hime’s Quest below to get a taste of the retro title in action.
