An underrated gem

This remake of a Falcom classic features a dungeon that pivots around the hero at every turn, a disorienting mechanic that takes real time to get used to. Its old-school stiffness and ultra-quiet release left it in the shadows. But its methodical progression and devious exploration will satisfy fans of patient dungeon crawlers.

Is Brandish - The Dark Revenant still worth playing in 2026?

A dungeon crawler action RPG from Falcom and localised by XSEED, Brandish - The Dark Revenant is a remake of the classic where the hero explores a rotating underground labyrinth, facing traps and monsters to climb back to the surface. The original map rotation system, the methodical exploration and the spatial puzzles make a demanding, singular experience. The 3D rework modernises the original while respecting its spirit. For a fan of retro dungeon crawlers or someone curious about Falcom productions, the title keeps a unique mechanic and an appreciable depth.
