Description of the game:
Brand is a customization game contained in a 2.5D action game. The player has a very simple task: he is handed a pathetic sword and asked to make it fit for a king. In order to do so, he must get help from a Mage, a Smith and a Chemist to enhance the sword until it is deemed strong enough. The three of them will send the hero to face monsters in a Steampunk Castle, an Alexandrite Mine and a Cursed Necropolis to gather reagents used to upgrade the titular sword. The player has a wide array of choices in how to upgrade his sword, and these upgrades directly affect the player’s abilities, so that every new game offers a different experience.
