For the unfamiliar, Brandish is an old Falcom hack'n'slash/dungeon crawler.

Came out on the SNES once:



Never got to play it.

This might be my chance!







Music sounds great too:

I bet the PSP versions are even better.

Well, even though no one cared... it's confirmed.

Brandish: The Dark Revenant
[Platform: PSP digital; Release: 2014] – A classically-styled dungeon crawler from Nihon Falcom, the storied developers of the highly-acclaimed Ys and The Legend of Heroes RPG franchises, Brandish: The Dark Revenant puts players in the role of swordsman Ares Toraernos as he climbs his way through over 40 sprawling floors of monsters, traps and puzzles in an attempt to escape a long-forgotten underground labyrinth. Along the way he repeatedly encounters his arch-rival, the voluptuous sorceress Dela Delon, who’s just as interested in claiming the bounty on his head as she is in escaping the maze herself. With each floor boasting unrelenting enemies fought in real time, elaborate booby traps, ancient treasures, tricky puzzles and thousand-year-old mysteries to solve, Brandish promises to keep players fighting for survival till the bitter end.

Been quite happy with the Ys series released on PSP, along with the dungeon crawlers like Demon Gaze. XSeed building up some serious love from me for their work with JRPGs. Will be keeping a watch on this one, probably buying. Crossing my fingers for a limited physical release also (As unlikely as that is.)
