Blog:Brave Dungeon: Brave or Cowardly?

Brave Dungeon is quite the fan favorite in the series. If you ask someone "Rank the Dark Witch games", many will but BD up with the likes of 2 and 3. I was definitely a little surprised to say the least. My first play through didn't leave the best taste in my mouth. I thought it was repetitive as all hell and the combat was too easy. But that was a couple years ago, and my opinions on the Dark Witch games have shifted around a lot. So today we'll be reviewing Brave Dungeon for the Nintendo 3DS. We'll also take a look at the Switch and PC half-port, half-new game, Brave Dungeon + Dark Witch's Story: COMBAT. Gah, what a silly name. Apologies for the small rant, but Dark Witch games have always had really awesome titles. The Price of Desire, Wisdom and Lunacy, The Meaning of Justice, etc. And no, Break Rock Syega Crystal is not a good title. So why did they feel the need to add "Dark Witch's Story: COMBAT" to the title? Why not just call it "Brave Dungeon + Combat", or more simply "Brave Dungeon+". In fact, you know what? From here on out, I'll just refer to it as "COMBAT". I won't be mentioning it a whole lot anyways.

As a final note, I played this game on Lunatic.

Dungeons
Starting out, you have 5 dungeons. These dungeons have 5 floors each, save for the final dungeon, Godshill, which has 2 more. The last floor is reserved for the boss, and you can go for any dungeon at any time. While this sounds special, in reality, there's only one true order, as most enemies above your level will mop the floor with you without a fight. However, if you're brave enough, you can go to another dungeon, fight monsters, and get more EXP and Tres.
