Shoot, punch and get closer through bullets and enemies in this close range-heavy arcade bullet hell shoot 'em up!
Brave Rounds is a fast-paced, close range-heavy vertical scrolling shoot 'em up with the beauty and ruthless precision of 00s arcade classics. Shoot them up by yourself or co-op together with a friend!
Master the art of getting closer and beat the heck out of them!
Play as one of three playable characters accompanied with their Options. Shoot the wide shot, focus shot, deploy the bombs, or unleash their special!
You don't have to fight alone; get a friend and play together in Two Player where they control the Options directly! Or control both characters at once with just one controller with Dual Control!
Brave Rounds tells a touching story of inter-generational relationships and the lengths people take to accomplish their goals. Set in the occult and sci-fi-laden modern era of 20XX, Brave Rounds explores the worth in fighting for what you believe in.
Features:
- Arcade Mode, the game's main mode of high-intensity five stages action. Fight the mid-bosses, bosses, and watch out for the dynamic difficulty: Rank! Are you worthy enough to face the True Last Boss...?
- Stage Practice, for your practicing convenience. Whenever you get stuck at Arcade Mode, visit the Stage Practice.
- Story Mode, telling a different story from Arcade Mode, is where you tackle 41 bite-sized stages. Complete the challenges, get the stars, upgrade your strength. Explore the world of Brave Rounds and the motivations behind the characters in lively and animated Visual Novel-style cutscenes!
- Score Attack. Get the high score in the Score Attack-exclusive stage within the 3 minutes time limit! Dare to put the gas on the pedal and raise the rank to its limit?
- Inspired by 00s video games and animes, Brave Rounds features smooth, hi-res hand-drawn art and animations. Colorful and expressive! Watching their movements is key to success.
- Enjoy the soundtrack of various genres by Dicky Teja Pratama, Jasson Prestiliano and Scowsh!
- Screen scaling options including TATE / Vertical mode, rebindable conrols, and replays!
