A fantasy adventure with tough-but-fair combat, a well crafted story and a punchy pixel art aesthetic, No Place For Bravery is the next ‘must play’ game in the 2D/dungeon-crawler renaissance. While it’s still not perfect, the game is much more stable now that it has received a patch and despite a few spotty frame rates, this is an easy title to recommend.

No Place for Bravery is a challenging top-down action RPG with a minimalist pixel art style that will grab your attention from the moment you start to play through the intro segment that gives you a glimpse into what Thorn has gone through. Be sure to interact with all of the white pages you’ll find here and there during your time with the game since they will unlock additional lore for you to review so that you can get a better idea of what has happened before in this world. The difficulty ramps up at a steady pace as you progress through the game, and the choices you make along the way will matter, changing how other interactions play out. No Place for Bravery is out tomorrow on Nintendo Switch at a $19.99 price.

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 Brave is an incredible top-down adventure that tells a touching story about the lengths one will go for family. Its weighty combat is challenging but fair which makes each battle a thrill. Although I did encounter the occasional bug which stifled the pace, this didn’t hinder what was a wonderful and touching experience.

Among the things there are also no place for in this title: Lack of skills, and unwillingness to be patient

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 is still a very solid game. Technical issues may mean that doesn't like up to the standards of the games it's trying to emulate, but even so, there's a lot of good stuff going on here, and if you can look past those issues (or even wait for some patches), there's definitely something here worth playing.

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 è un titolo ambizioso: cerca di proporre tematiche profonde, attinte tra l'altro direttamente dalla vita privata degli sviluppatori, all'interno di un mondo angosciante, nel quale il protagonista è costantemente spinto ad interrogarsi sul senso della fine; attinge a piene mani tutte le meccaniche utili da titoli quali God of War, i vari Souls e The Legend of Zelda; si propone infine come action-RPG (ma è anche più di questo) in due dimensioni, arricchito da una splendida pixel art e da una colonna sonora sinceramente memorabile. Direzione artistica a parte, tuttavia, si fa presto a dimenticare No Place for Bravery, in virtù di un gameplay tanto vario e tecnico quanto poco profondo, di una narrazione suggestiva ma breve e priva di grandi guizzi creativi, e anche di qualche problemino di ottimizzazione. Non parliamo di un brutto videogioco, ma di un prodotto complessivamente appena più che discreto, il quale avrebbe dovuto forse limitarsi a pochi spunti, insistendovi però convintamente. Potrebbe comunque convincervi: del resto, una possibilità non la si nega a nessuno.

Un action-RPG dotato di un'anima peculiare e sanguinosa, ma appesantito da qualche spigolo di troppo riguardo il bilanciamento della difficoltà e la pulizia del codice.

Our No Place For Bravery Review has us in a world where peril awaits on every path through Dewr, a harsh world of ruined beauty and violent tribes. In this game, you must contend with fast-paced battles filled with dodges, parries, and counterattacks.

Thorn, a retired warrior plagued by nightmares, stumbles on an opportunity for redemption after finding clues to his daughter’s disappearance from long ago. Survive rampant and violent battles in this 2D top-down action RPG, and discover the bone-chilling tale behind Thorn’s odyssey.

No Place for Bravery-an action/adventure RPG from Ysbryd Games and Glitch Factory-does have some issues; the retro graphics aren't the best, and they still produce some frame rate problems. The intriguing (mature) story and interesting environments, however, result in a good title worth checking out.

No Place For Bravery it's a great action-souls adventure with fun and challenging combat, but its technical issues can be very frustrating and ruin the experience for some players.

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.

It's a shame that No Place for Bravery crumbles under the weight of its ambition. Should the performance and technical issues be fixed, it would become something I could easily recommend. The music, story, and visuals are all wonderfully crafted, and it would be unfortunate if this version ended the final product. Fortunately, it does seem like patches are in the works, but it remains to be seen how much of the above issues are fixed by them. Ultimately, No Place for Bravery is a promising title that may be able to live up to its aspirations with a little more work under the hood.

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.

It’s a dark tale about a broken man and a total disregard for everything that goes into a player’s time and money. If you’re properly gelded against cynicism, you might enjoy the graphics, soundtrack and some of the better combat moments. Otherwise, you’re stuck in the same paradox as Thorn: unable to admit that it’s all been a lie.

In the end, No Place for Bravery lives or dies based on the strength of its combat system. Other aspects like its graphics, music, and storytelling are passable without being outright noteworthy, but an action RPG must nail its combat, and here the game falters.

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.
