It’s great when you can inflict them on your opponents, and potentially devastating when they can inflict them upon you. Some Feelings, like Hunger, will do increasing amounts of damage every turn, while others like Tired will make you take damage if you use certain moves. Emotional attacks usually have names like “Admire,” and while they aren’t always the strongest attacks, they can scale their damage up sometimes when the enemy is inflicted with “Feelings.” Feelings are basically status ailments, but much more entertaining. Emotional damage is represented by a purple quarter moon, and was my personal favorite. Digital tends to look like magical attacks, and is represented by a blue flame. Physical damage, indicated by a red fist, does just that – deals ordinary, physical damage. There are three types of direct damage you can deal: Physical, Digital, and Emotional.
Thick Thighs Save Lives (But Maybe Not in This Game) Timing when to use Parry, or when to use or save your Flourish can be the difference between victory and defeat. Flourish, meanwhile, will deal a critical hit, which increases damage dealt by 50%, while also activating a move’s special Flourish effects. Parry allows you to dodge one attack, but the battery will break and be unusable for the rest of the battle. When you fill a battery, you’ll have access to to the Parry and Flourish ability. These moves typically deal lower amounts of damage, but can be extremely useful for landing finishing blows.Īs you attack, you’ll build up a charge that’s stored in the battery (seen in the bottom left of the above screenshot). I say usually, because some moves will have a special effect known as “priority” which, much like in Pokémon, will prioritize that attack. Whichever fighter has the higher initiative usually gets to attack first. Of course, your enemy may also do the same.Ī stat called “initiative” determines which fighter gets to make the first move. Doing so, however, will use up that turn, and the team member you tag in will take damage or status effects from the opposing team. In addition to selecting one of up to three available moves, you can also use a turn to swap out a team member. Teams square off in one-on-one battles, with each side selecting a move in secret. While the setup of the battles initially made me think it was a fighter, it is in fact a turn-based RPG. It’s surprisingly addicting, and deeper than it initially appears. Where Bravery Network Online really shines is the combat. Inflict Some Real (Not Real) Emotional Harm So even though I wished there was more to explore/do in the game, what is available is very addicting. While the game world itself does feel perhaps a bit sparse, with very little story existing yet, keep in mind the game is still Early Access. Finally, at Cafe Musee, you’ll be able to purchase color themes for your team’s clothing, as well as unlock accessories you can equip for effects. You’ll spar with would-be champions in, you guessed it, the sparring room.
The locker room is basically your home base where you’ll arrange teams of fighters and equip them with accessories. You can compete in 1v1 battles against other players in the stadium. And since the fighters are immortal, even if they die, they’ll come back to life to compete again.Īs you can see, Tower 6 is split up into different areas. With advances in technology, people no longer need to compete for resources, and instead, compete for fun. Welcome to the Towerīravery Network Online takes place in the futuristic world of Tower 6. While I was initially drawn to the undeniably unique art style, once I began playing, it quickly became clear that this game is more than just some pretty flair (though there’s plenty of that, too). Developed by Gloam Collective (which is just an awesome name), Bravery Network Online offers a lot of entertainment for an Early Access game. No, Bravery Network Online isn’t the latest Cartoon Network show, though it certainly looks like it could be.
