No Place for Bravery offers an interesting mix of tough combat and exotic presentation. Some players might be driven away by the pixel art (the weird legs of the characters still annoy me) or the difficulty level. But the story and the gameplay have the quality required to keep players engaged.

horn’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.

No Place for Bravery takes a serious and mature look at the hopes and fears of a father searching for his missing daughter. Every aspect of the game competently fits together to create a gripping story, as well as presenting a richly detailed and very interesting mythology. Despite occasional bugs and inaccuracy in the platform sections, this game is highly recommended for those looking for a moving story and challenging combat.

No Place for Bravery es una interesante pieza de orfebrería a la que se le ha querido dar una vuelta de tuerca que no es novedosa, pero aquí tiene el mérito de parecerlo cuando menos. Bajo un paraguas de un precioso arte 2D, en la forma de una aventura de acción, tenemos nada menos que una suerte de Sekiro. Un juego de corte soul like, que va más allá al apelar al combate directo y la falta de aditamentos, como mejoras de nivel de personaje, de armas, magias... para que la lucha calculada y precisa sea lo más vital. Todo embutido en una historia de fantasía, épica, decadencia y paternidad. Mucha ambición desde luego, a la que no siempre se está a la altura. Ritmo y situaciones desiguales, algunos problemas en esa combinación de combate exigente y habilidad, en su propuesta 'action-RPG', sin el RPG. Pero mereciendo con todo la pena para algo más que disfrutar de su trabajadísimo aspecto gráfico y sonoro.

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.

No Place For Bravery gives the player a sense of control with its narrative – sometimes even presenting them with a dialogue option that could very well end the game at that moment. It’s that kind of weight attached to each decision made that immerses the player with a sort of responsibility for their actions.

No Place For Bravery has some real strong points and I really enjoyed the story in particular, but they're counterbalanced by weaker elements within the combat that meant I wasn't really excited by the whole package. It's a decent effort that will kill a few hours, but not much more than that.

Allowing it to weather or crumble under your second guesses is part of the process, but what remains after all that is probably something true and real. That is the care of being a critic. Even detestable homage deserves that respect.

No Place for Bravery acaba siendo un soulslike pixelart del montón que no logra destacar entre la ya nutrida competencia que hay en este estilo. Con un sistema de combate simple y sencillo, una historia que resulta irregular (gana mucho con cierto giro, pero para llegar al mismo hay que pasar por muchos momentos difíciles de comprender) y la reducida duración, el punto que acaba lastrando definitivamente al juego son sus múltiples bugs (IA errática que puede dejar a enemigos paralizados, mala hitbox, textos que desaparecen, traducción horrible...) que afean en exceso el resultado final. Así pues no es que esté mal como tal, sólo que no puede destacar en entre otros juegos de su mismo estilo, salvo por diferentes momentos de su trama.

No Place for Bravery es un título pequeño que ha sabido utilizar el debate acerca de la dificultad de los videojuegos a su favor. Tras su planteamiento, aparentemente simple, en nuestra mano está que la historia sea un simple devenir narrativo o un desafío con todas las letras. Tiene sus carencias, como es de esperar, pero no impiden una experiencia grata. Además, la existencia de elecciones significativas durante la partida hace que nuestras ganas de conocer todas las posibilidades sean aún mayores. Su banda sonora, calidad artística y dinamismo del combate lo convierten en un título ameno y entretenido.

But in the end, all there is to remember about No Place for Bravery is the red from all his murderous encounters — the bloodletting Thorn has committed from brutalizing his foes, the insurmountable pain of his cheap, repetitive deaths, and the immense frustration of never seeing the game reach its fullest potential.
