Nothing game breaking or even big enough to force me to quit my session.īravery Network Online is currently in Early Access and available for PC via Steam.The first half hour TV cartoon to be fully computer generated, note While VeggieTales was produced earlier, it was originally direct-to-video instead of a regular series ReBoot is actually set inside a computer. The only real issue I had was a few connectivity problems. It’s the perfect mix of synth-y pop with a hint of jazzy undertones. For such a simple game, there’s a lot to do and find even now. It made me want to play turn-based competition games again.

Other Beckers sending out challenges or having a team member get hit with an invite to lunch that does lasting damage only works because Bravery Network Online uses such a unique brand of humor.ĭespite its Early Access status Bravery Network Online still provides a full experience.
On top of it all, the writing of the game fully lends itself to the more ridiculous aspects of gameplay.
It’s witty and silly and sarcastic without tipping over the edge or tripping over itself. A majority of the dialogue uses the specific type of tongue in cheek humor that often reads like adults who have forgotten what teens sound like, writing teens. You play as a Becker, a small TV with a goofy expression that the cast of characters don’t hesitate to let you know is just a bit ugly. From the beginning it’s goofy and breaks the fourth wall. On the other hand some opponents are so infuriating you get…Infuriated, which debuffs future skills and stats.īravery Network Online’s strongest feature however, is its writing. Characters use admire to do damage but it also boosts your players stats. One of the first emotional attacks used in the tutorial part of the game is Admire. These feel right at home within the narrative and writing of the game. The real fun comes with purple emotional attacks. For example, a character shooting fireworks from their hand is a digital attack, whereas hitting an opponent with a sword is straight physical damage. You can think of the digital attacks as special skills that require gear add-ons to perform. There are three main stats to watch out for: red physical attacks, blue digital attacks and purple emotional attacks. In terms of actually playing the game, like I said, it functions as any turn-based game does. I’ve never wanted to look like a character sprite before, but now I do. There’s body diversity, hair diversity, gender diversity, and everyone dresses so cool. Each and every character I’ve come across has made me stop because they all look like the OCs I wanted to draw as a teen. The art style feels like a callback to a lot of webcomics I read in middle school. Bravery Network Online follows that same formula to the T but manages to add its own unique brand of…quirky? Quirky is an overused word and has started to lose its meaning, but somehow it applies to this game. You build a team based on attacks and defenses, train them, fight against computers and on occasion other players. Turn-based games generally work the same. I’m impulsive and lack the foresight to properly plan a team that isn’t built around my personal motto, “hit hard, die fast.” It’s incredibly worth noting that I played Bravery Network Online for hours when I first sat down to try it out. I don’t play many turn-based games for long because, well, I’m not good at them. Bravery Network Online is currently in Early Access and already it’s an incredibly competent turn-based brawler.
