Burning Branch

A very fun game overall. Once you get used to the controls and timing your attacks combat becomes very fluid and has a real sense of accomplishment and improvement. The art, character design and music work together well, making the setting feel gloomy but not overwhelmingly so. Only real issues are the usual early access hiccups. Some stuff needing polish and a few more animation frames, but none of this makes the game less enjoyable. If you're looking for a nice, fun game with interesting content and compelling story that sometimes hits a bit close to home, you should give Burning Branch a try! And playing with a controller will likely be easier than a keyboard and mouse.

A fun little roguelite. The visuals and style is fantastic, with enough story to satisfy one invested in the plot. The mechanics, while fairly basic, are executed well and balanced accordingly. There's some potential to find really strong combinations but nothing I've found is overly OP yet. Overall, well priced for the amount of potential play I'm likely to get out of it

I finished Act 1. It is a little difficult at first, but it quickly feels really satisfying rolling circles around bosses once you learn the controls and their attack patterns. I especially like the story of this game. Sen is an... interesting... character, who I don't see represented in media all that often.

Here's the thing. It's a decent combat game. But it's got one incredibly horrifying story. No really. It seems like a love story at first. This is a trap. This game is one of the darkest things I've played in a long time. I'm so very impressed by how much of a rug pull the plot gets to be. It's pretty worth it, but check a vid or two so you know how the combat system works. Very good solo dev work and I'm curious what the dev might do next.

Solid combat, interesting bosses, utterly depressing story... yup, that's a "souls like!"

Incredibly fun game would recommend.

Good!
