Our take on Bravada
Rather than centering a conventional bearded dwarf hero, the game makes the missing beard the premise of its adventure. Its turn-based battles also depart from slower tactical pacing by using a control system intended to feel closer to action.
What is Bravada?
Bravada follows a young dwarf whose missing beard sends him on a journey with his bat companion.
Players control a group of units, each with distinct specialties and traits, during turn-based combat built around a fast control system. Units gain levels and can change into other forms according to player choices. The party can include hundreds of unit types, including former enemies. RPG elements include an inventory and unit classes. Every fifth level-up presents a specialization choice. The game combines a humorous plot with individual descriptions for its game elements, while its central journey focuses on solving the mystery of the dwarf’s absent beard.
