Our take on No Place for Bravery
The emphasis on demanding combat comes with a trade-off: mistakes carry a heavy cost, so progress may involve repeated defeats rather than a forgiving journey.
What is No Place for Bravery?
No Place for Bravery is an overhead, two-dimensional role-playing game focused on combat.
Thorn, a veteran of war, abandons his quiet life after the person who took his daughter Leaf reappears. He sets out across Dewr with Phid, his disabled foster son, encountering ruined landscapes and hostile tribes. Battles rely on evading attacks, blocking them, striking back, and attacking; errors can bring a string of defeats, and combat takes practice to master.
Thorn can find weapons and items that expand his options against enemies. The story considers the obligations of fathers and the effects of their decisions, as well as the boundary between parental duty and more primal impulses. Pixel-art visuals and a low-fantasy setting shape the world through which Thorn pursues Leaf.
