Disney•Pixar Brave: The Video Game

Surprisingly good game on a movie-tie in for Disney / Pixar. Funnily enough, I found out about this game on a channel that showcases game prototypes, and well, I looked into it, read some comments, and it apparently was a good game. Today, I gave it a chance, and I had a lot of fun. The mechanics are quite deep, something you do not expect on a licensed game of all things (trust me guys, there are good licensed games out there, like Sheep Raider on the PS1). I haven't watched the movie that it's based on in a very long time, but even if you don't really care about the story, there's a lot of fun to have with the gameplay aspect of it. You get a very fluid movement, multiple types of attacks (grass, fire, wind and ice), charge attacks, attacks with your sword or bow, and so on. Never had any problem moving the character around the world, and the attacks are very responsive. I also played on Normal mode, as I tend to always pick the middle between Easy and Hard, as I can experience how the game was balanced better by the developers. There's also a "Brave" difficulty, I'm not exactly sure what changes, but even on Normal mode, this game is not really a cake-walk. While I didn't exactly died once, I did take damages here and there, and played like a pro. At least on controller, the default button layout felt very good, and I was able to do jumps while using my bow, charging it, and so on. You can collect coins to purchase upgrades. One gripe I have with the upgrade system is that it's divided by "runes", so you have separate upgrades for grass, fire, wind and ice. For instance, for charge attacks, you have 4 separate upgrades for each type of charge attack. I found that to be a little unnecessary, and I kinda feel like this was put just to make the longevity of the game higher for those looking to get every upgrade. There are also Co-Op upgrades that well, I never used since I played it solo. Each level also has a couple unlockables, namely new swords, bows, outfits, and some "pieces" that makes you stronger. These are more-or-less just skins, since every sword and bow plays exactly the same, but, upon collecting each one, the damage done is increased on ALL bows, so that's a nice feature. If you prefer a weapon than the other, design-wise, you are free to choose so without sacrificing your damage output. So yeah, the game apparently has co-op, and by the looks of the upgrades, I'd assume it's sorta similar to Super Mario Galaxy and how the 2nd player can assist on things...? Another small critique is how there's no proper button layout on screen. It's all done by color code and it feels weird. It's hard to know what options are for A, B, X and Y, and in some cases, the shape of these icons are in the same way of the triggers or shoulder keys, but you still use A, B, X or Y. The graphics are also not very good. While the particle effects and general environment looks nice for a game from 2012, the main character's model is... ugly, to say the least. The hair in specific isn't very good, and for models as a whole, sometimes the vertices clip here and there (seems to happen only in a couple levels). I don't think graphics really matter TOO much, but yeah, it's something to keep in mind. It's a little short (I'd say 3-4 hours, if not going for getting every upgrade, but collecting everything that the levels offer), but it also doesn't overstate its welcome. Due to its length, I would recommend getting on a sale. I may go back in getting all the upgrades, who knows. For now, I give it a 8/10. For a licensed game, it has very fluid movement, a wide variety of different attacks, enemy weaknesses, responsive controls, consistent 60FPS (except on cutscenes that for some reason it's like a weird 20-30FPS hybrid). It has some of that "licensed game" flair, like voice acting throughout the game (even in gameplay, not just cutscenes), and some cheap menu / pickup sound effects, but if you can get over those, it's a game you should definitely try.

i wish i could give this game to every girl in the world they seriously need to experience this its total magic for the soul i feel like this is how lego batman the videogame is for me im actually gonna cry i was born to be a girl-dad 😭😭💗💗💗💖💖

This is one of the more challenging Disney games I have played, but in a fun way. However, it is pretty much impossible to try and play on a controller. It is playable with a keyboard but takes a while to understand the controls. I will definitely come back to this game one day and play it through again.

La Chica BRAVA, un gran juego destacable por su historia y su contenido gráfico, inmejorable, apuesta asegurada. Ademas lo convertimos en multijugador con mi tato Aurelio, y fue otro nivel de experiencia.

It's unusual to see Robotron: 2084-like mechanic in a Disney video game, a game about a Disney princess to boot, but here we are.

разрабы дбд,спасибо за увлекательное детство

good old times :)

[h1][b]🎮 Reseña de Disney•Pixar Brave: The Video Game[/b][/h1] [h2]Resumen del Juego[/h2] Disney•Pixar Brave: The Video Game es una aventura de acción pensada para “toda la familia”, lo cual en Steam suele traducirse como: “puedes jugarlo con tu primo chico… y tú serás el adulto pagando la paciencia”. Controlas a una protagonista femenina en un mundo de fantasía inspirado en la película, con combate estilo hack and slash ligero y secciones de rompecabezas para que no todo sea repartir espadazos como si estuvieras cortando leña en Escocia. La primera impresión es clara: esto no intenta destronar a los grandes del género, intenta ser una adaptación cumplidora. Tiene modo un jugador y opciones multijugador con pantalla partida/compartida (y Remote Play Together), ideal para discutir en el sillón por quién se quedó con “el personaje bueno” y quién con “el que acompaña”. [h2]Lo Valiente y lo… No Tan Valiente[/h2] Lo Bueno: ✅ 🧝‍♀️ Protagonista femenina en un entorno de fantasía: variedad temática que se agradece. ✅ ⚔️ Acción + aventura con combate tipo hack and slash: directo, sin “doctorado” requerido. ✅ 🧩 Rompecabezas que rompen la monotonía: bien para alternar entre golpes y pensar un poco. ✅ 🛋️ Multijugador y pantalla partida/compartida + Remote Play Together: caos cooperativo garantizado. ✅ ☁️ Steam Cloud y Préstamo familiar: comodidades modernas para un juego de otra era. Lo No Tan Bueno: ❌ 🏜️ Jugadores actuales: 0 😬 Si querías sentir comunidad, aquí lo más vivo es el viento. ❌ 🏆 0 logros disponibles 😴 Steam sin logros es como un RPG sin números: te quitan el vicio. ❌ 🎮 Compatibilidad parcial con mando 🤏 En un juego de acción, “parcial” suena a “a veces sí, a veces te aguantas”. ❌ 📣 165 recomendaciones totales: existe cariño… pero tampoco es que el mundo haya hecho fila para aplaudir. [h2]Tabla de Evaluación[/h2] [table] [tr][th]Aspecto[/th][th]Puntuación (0-10)[/th][th]Comentario[/th][/tr] [tr][td]Jugabilidad[/td][td]6[/td][td]Acción y aventura cumplidoras, sin reinventar nada.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Dificultad / IA[/td][td]5[/td][td]Más “para toda la familia” que “ponme a sudar”.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Contenido[/td][td]6[/td][td]Varía con combate y rompecabezas, pero no se siente enorme.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Gráficos / Video[/td][td]6[/td][td]Correcto para una adaptación; no esperes milagros modernos.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Historia[/td][td]6[/td][td]Funciona si vienes por la vibra de la película.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Ambientación[/td][td]7[/td][td]Fantasía escocesa simpática: aquí sí se luce.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Efectos (VFX)[/td][td]5[/td][td]Cumplen, pero no te van a volar la cabeza.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Música[/td][td]6[/td][td]Acompaña bien la aventura sin robarse el show.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Voces[/td][td]5[/td][td]Servicioable: no es el gancho principal.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Diversidad[/td][td]6[/td][td]Protagonista femenina y enfoque familiar: punto a favor, sin ser rompedor.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Rendimiento[/td][td]6[/td][td]Nada indica desastre; se asume estable para su escala.[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Rejugabilidad[/td][td]5[/td][td]El multijugador ayuda, pero sin logros se pierde motivación.[/td][/tr] [tr][td][b]Total Puntuaciones (Bueno)[/b][/td][td][b]5.8[/b][/td][td]Una adaptación cumplidora que vive más de la ambientación que de su ambición.[/td][/tr] [/table] [h2]Conclusión (Aceptable)[/h2] Disney•Pixar Brave: The Video Game es ese plato que no está malo, pero tampoco lo presumes: acción-aventura ligera, rompecabezas para variar, y un enfoque familiar que se nota en cada decisión. Es entretenido si vienes con expectativas realistas y con ganas de pasar el rato sin complicarte la vida. Lo controversial: Steam te lo presenta con funciones modernas (Cloud, Remote Play Together), pero en espíritu se siente como una reliquia educada. Y con 0 jugadores activos, la sensación es la de entrar a una fiesta cuando ya apagaron la música. Aun así, 165 recomendaciones totales dicen que hay gente que lo disfrutó… solo que no se quedaron a vivir aquí. [h3]Recomendación de Compra (Solo para fans y coop casual)[/h3] Puntuación Total: 5.8/10 Número de jugadores activos al momento de hacer esta review: 0 Descuento máximo registrado: N/A Veredicto: [i]Aceptable, pero con el carisma de un museo en hora de cierre[/i] Si te gusta Brave, quieres una aventura sencilla y planeas jugar en pantalla partida/compartida con alguien en casa (o por Remote Play Together), puede cumplirte. Si buscas un juego de acción exigente, con comunidad activa y ese “enganche Steam” de logros y progresión, aquí vas a encontrar más silencio que gloria heroica.

O jogo é bom como esperado ,e melhor que muitos jogos de filmes. Apenas é um bocado dificil controlar a personagem jogando com o teclado. Devido ao cenário é preciso quase sempre pressionar 2 das teclas para andar, e em um dos niveis foi dificil ,mesmo no modo easy, porque era necessário o dodge e era preciso uma ginástica para conseguir andar com a personagem e clicar nessa tecla.
