Braveland Review

Image
It's time to save another kingdom in Braveland. You play a generic hero who must raise an army, defeat bad guys and monsters, find loot and confront the evil sorcerer who terrorises the land. On the world map you you will decide where to move. There are places to recruit units and buy items, find treasures and shrines which boost stats. You start off with just peasants and archers but soon you will have a large army including priests, knights etc. They have the usual stats: damage physical and magic defense, health, movement and range. They also have a special ability which can be learnt and used either on a timer or a specific number of times per battle. Your hero gains experience and when he levels gains a point in a stat of your choosing as well as being able to have more units of each type in the stack and more points to use in deciding who to bring into battle Most of your time will be spent in the battle screens.

When you arrive all hell has broken loose on the station as systems are ailing throughout the station and different groups have banded together to try to survive and escape. It has a very similar atmosphere to Deadspace but with for the most part, a lot less combat. The levels are large and beautiful. They have kept the aesthetic of the movies in terms of color schemes as well as the shape and materials of objects such as airlocks, levers and doors. Some are reused in a similar way to the Batman Arkham series and you can access more rooms and areas as you get new equipment or upgrade the equipment you have. Like Ellen, you do not have combat
