About this game

Thorn, a veteran fighter who has lost much of his vigor and ferocity over the years, wanders a devastated planet looking for his daughter. In this 2D top-down action RPG, you may dodge, parry, and chop your way out of bloody fights while learning the terrifying story of Thorn's quest to bring his family back together.

• The harsh planet of Dewr, with its wrecked beauty and hostile tribes, is full of danger on every turn. You'll have to deal with swift battles in this game that feature counterattacks, parries, and dodges. Making mistakes will be costly, and you'll continue to feel vulnerable as you deal with Dewr's perils.
• Thorn, a former soldier who endured an unimaginably horrific war, surrenders his blood-stained weapons. Thorn is content to lead a quiet life as a tavernkeeper, but his thoughts and dreams often turn to his long-lost daughter Leaf. That is, until Thorn sees the person who kidnapped Leaf so long ago make a surprise appearance.
• No Place for Bravery's story explores the responsibilities of father figures and the effects of their decisions in a chaotic world. Where a parent's duty ends and something more primitive begins is a question that the game ponders, inspired by the creators' own personal life experiences and emotions.
• Thorn can withstand any severe battle with skill, and when you find new tools and materials to use against your enemies, his ferocity only increases. However, it takes practice to master the chaotic throes of desperate fight. If you have a string of miserable failures on your trip, don't give up.
• Dewr's decaying planet croaks with magnificent life as Thorn carves his route through it thanks to a compelling combination of the low fantasy setting and painstakingly realistic pixel visuals. No Place for Bravery is a pulsating, passionate atmosphere that you can feel in your veins with every second that passes.

Reviews

Thorn’s quest to save Leaf is exceptionally well-written, and the world of Dewr is one of the more enjoyable video game worlds I’ve explored in some time. Despite some minor quibbles with the combat and some of the world-building, No Place for Bravery is still an excellent game that players looking for a challenge are sure to enjoy.

But Why Tho?

 

No Place for Bravery surprised me in many ways. When I first started, I was ready for a gory festival of combat with a good story to go along with it. What I got was a beautiful, dark narrative that pushed me to reach the end credits far more than the promise of combat would have. The things I loved most are things I can’t talk about in this review for fear of spoiling the experience - No Place for Bravery feels fantastic to play, and Glitch Factory has created a story that will stick with me for years.
