XSEED Games Launch Brandish: The Dark Revenant

Did you think that the PlayStation Portable was completely devoid of development? In what could be the very last PSP release from XSEED Games, the publisher has today confirmed that Nihon Falcom’s dungeon-crawling action RPG Brandish: The Dark Revenant is now available for purchase. Developed for the PlayStation Portable as a digital-download exclusive, Brandish will set you back $19.99 and comes with support for the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation TV.

In Brandish: The Dark Revenant, players take on the role of swordsman Ares Toraernos as he climbs his way through over 40 sprawling floors of monsters, traps and puzzles in an attempt to escape a long-forgotten underground labyrinth. Along the way he repeatedly encounters his arch-rival, the voluptuous sorceress Dela Delon, who’s just as interested in claiming the bounty on his head as she is in escaping the maze herself. With each floor boasting unrelenting enemies fought in real time, elaborate booby traps, ancient treasures and thousand-year-old mysteries to solve, they hope that Brandish will keep players fighting from start to finish.

This ’90s classic returns with a highly polished recreation of its ominous maps, cunning puzzles and sinister traps, but adds smoother gameplay, revamped boss battles, enhanced graphics, newly arranged music and more. Unrelenting monsters lurk in ancient ruins, cursed caverns and otherworldly planes alike, and every step taken can result in death as false floors, false walls, spikes, poison traps, boulders, teleporters and other deadly surprises position themselves between Ares and his freedom. Those seeking a moment of respite can play the slots or challenge NPCs to an original card game called “Blade,” but that’s only if they can find one of the game’s well-hidden casinos – and that respite may or may not be worth the trouble finding one of them.

With so many requests for the return of Brandish: The Dark Revenant, we did everything possible to bring the game back. Nihon Falcom did a standout job bringing the game up-to-date, and both we and they are very excited to deliver this to Western fans with the option to play on the classic PSP, on the PS Vita or on the brand new PSTV.
