Our take on Brave and Desire
Players who need predictable character builds may hit the main snag at level-up: stat gains are random and vary with class growth rates and changes between games. Route choices also alter danger, which may stop players who prefer a fixed dungeon path.
What is Brave and Desire?
Brave and Desire is a rogue-lite RPG centered on party combat, with dungeon maps and encounters that vary from one attempt to the next.
Select branching routes while descending toward the lowest reaches. Assemble five characters drawn from multiple classes, unlock additional classes, and experiment with party setups. Combat behavior changes according to each character’s formation slot and location relative to opponents. Choose movement and abilities to withstand blows, take aim, or withdraw and regain strength. Route selection and the way back affect danger levels. Improve the group and gather equipment before boss encounters. When characters gain levels, their statistics develop randomly according to class-specific rates and changes within each run.
