Brave Earth: Prologue is a Promising Throwback to NES-Era Castlevania

Michael “Kayin” O’Reilly, the indie game developer known for the deviously hard Mega Man-esque throwback game I Wanna Be The Guy, has just put his first commercial game, Brave Earth: Prologue, on Steam Greenlight.

Brave Earth: Prologue is inspired by classic games such as Castlevania and Ninja Gaiden, while having a difficulty system that allows the perfect balance between player skill and challenge. Enemies placement and scenery will change depending of the difficulty setting you pick.

The game will have 3 different playable characters, each one with their own gameplay style, paths and unique levels:

Naomi vos Cruz, the young, inexperienced knight who is sent on a simple courier mission that spirals out of control and into a battle with monsters, mercenaries, and a struggle to stop a cult’s powerful, demonic ritual. While not particularly mobile, Naomi has a number of special attacks to help her deal with a variety of situations.

Sinlen Rothschild, a powerful and mobile mage and Naomi’s best friend. Ambushed during the investigation of ancient ruins, Sinlen defends herself with a wide assortment of long range magic.

Trevor vos Cruz, Naomi’s older brother and Master Hunter for The Church. While Trevor is slow in attacking with his giant sword, Verbanner, he excels at quick, evasive maneuvers.
