In this modern era of gaming, where many of us only have time for a quick five minutes of play here and there, the roguelike and roguelite genres have boomed, opening up a world of dungeon crawling through the likes of Hades and Enter the Gungeon. Bravery & Greed is in many ways similar, however it is the draw of the added cooperative play that makes this one to watch.
Releasing on Xbox, PlayStation, PC and Switch, Bravery & Greed takes you and up to three online or local co-op mates on the treasure hunt of a lifetime: you’ll be chucked into a multitude of side-scrolling dungeons, with the core aim to battle any enemies you see, collect all the gold your pockets can muster, and hopefully get out the other side in one piece. Remember, this is a roguelite, so the chances are you’ll take a few trips to the afterlife before having enough upgrades, gear and power to make it through once and for all.
As with every cooperative adventure, one of the most vital decisions to make is how your team composition will work together. Upon booting up a session of Bravery & Greed, you will select from four classes – Rogue, Warrior, Amazon and Wizard – which can each be further customised through the four skill trees – Life, Chaos, Order and Darkness. Trial and error will naturally play a huge role in establishing the best combinations early doors, before you go on to maximise your potential on subsequent runs.
Team17 and Rekka Games have helpfully provided a more complete list of features for the game:
- Treasure hunt solo or with friends: Jump into the fun with up to four-player online and local co-operative gameplay, with a variety of both PvE and PvP game modes
- Unleash the magic: Parry, dodge, and juggle abilities to unleash destructive spells on mighty foes, bosses, and even unsuspecting allies
- Choose from classic archetypes: Choose from four different and unique classes; Rogue, Warrior, Wizard, and Amazon, all boasting their own skills and specialities
- Follow your path: Four different skill trees await, each offering up perks that will affect gameplay, but beware, once a path is chosen the player is committed to it until death
- Find help along the way: Hidden throughout the levels, humanoid and animal followers can be acquired to fight alongside players, helping usher them towards the glorious gold and treasure that awaits.
