Game Description - Brandish – The Dark Revenant (Japan):

Brandish – The Dark Revenant (Japan) is a popular PlayStation PSP Video Game and now you can play this game on android using PPSSPP android emulator.

The PSP saw a lot of great games in its time, from groundbreaking original titles like Monster Hunter to series-best entries in long-standing franchises like Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. Though it never came close to upsetting Nintendo’s market dominance, Sony’s handheld became a haven on the go for hardcore gamers – especially those with a penchant for JRPGs. Among all the developers whose games graced the platform, none were quite so adept at developing for it as Nihon Falcom. After reigning for two decades as Japan’s premier PC studio, the company finally found its console game groove on the PSP. Their games may not push the technical limits of the hardware, but they look gorgeous on its high-res screen, and their old-school design sensibilities are perfectly suited to portable play.

Unfortunately, not many of their games for the system have made it stateside – and even fewer have translations that do them justice. Konami and Namco Bandai completely bungled the early PSP entries in the Ys and Legend of Heroes series, nearly dooming the company’s chances in the west in the process. It wasn’t until 2009 that XSEED took charge of the company’s localization efforts, finally delivering the quality writing that Falcom’s games deserve. Unfortunately, we only saw a few more of their games stateside before the world moved on to the PS Vita – mostly entries in the Ys series. The likes of Nayuta no Kiseki, Zwei!!, and Vantage Master will likely never make it to our shores, but XSEED surprised us all recently by releasing one more gem from Falcom’s vaults. Brandish: The Dark Revenant will likely be the last PSP game we ever play, and it’s a hell of a high note to go out on.

Brandish: The Dark Revenant is a 2009 remake of Brandish, one of Falcom’s more ambitious PC-88 dungeon crawlers. Brandish (which saw an American release on the Super Nintendo) uses a top-down perspective reminiscent of The Legend of Zelda, but plays like a grid-based first-person dungeon crawler in the vein of Dungeon Master. Rather than being static, the camera is locked behind the player character’s back, and when he turns your entire perspective rotates with him. This makes for distinctive gameplay wherein you have a wide field of view, but the walls of the dungeon can hide secrets, and enemies can sneak up on you if you’re not careful. When Brandish works, it generates a palpable sense of claustrophbia, but abrupt transitions that happen whenever you turn can be disorienting – an unfortunate limitation of the older hardware on which it runs. In full 3D that’s not a problem, though, and this PSP remake feels like the game Brandish was always meant to be.

The plot centers around Ares, a stoic swordsman who finds himself trapped in an ancient underground city after a battle with his nemesis, the Sorceress Dela. At the center of the city is an immense tower that spears the earth above, and climbing it seems to be the only way to leave. The ruins are infested with monsters and riddled with death traps, and Ares needs every ounce of his wits and bravery to defeat the evil behind the city’s (literal) downfall and escape with his life. Amid the monsters he encounters other unfortunate souls who’ve become trapped like him. Some fight to escape, while others seem to have accepted their fate, eking out a living as shopkeepers in the ruined city. It’s not the most complex story in the world, but it’s well-told, with a distinctly somber tone.
