This game is currently in the Humble Choice for May 2024, and this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before June 4th, 2024, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.

This is great as long as you don’t know one fact.

Bravery and Greed feels like a Beat ‘Em Up. It allows up to four players to play couch co-op or online and players will fight through five levels exploring randomly generated areas, and beating four bosses, to earn gems that unlock the fifth level promising a Dwarven treasure horde. I was able to run through the game in an hour, and it worked.

The missing fact however is this is intended to be a rogue-lite, and I’ve always wondered how it feels if someone beats a rogue-lite on the first playthrough. Now that I have done that I know It’s not a good thing. This game is extremely easy, and maybe I had the luckiest gear ever, but ultimately, I beat the game in an hour. While I unlocked additional items in the game and potentially some modifiers, I beat the game. I don’t see a reason to return.

Pick this up if you want to play a beat ‘em up rogue-lite with several friends. It was entertaining for the hour but I was also shocked at how easy I found it. There are other classes, so maybe there’s more challenge but I honestly don’t see a reason to return.
