About Active DBG: Brave's Rage
A (Very!) Active Deckbuilding Game!
Brave's Rage is a challenging deckbuilding game that features an ATB combat system commonly seen in JRPGs. Players will have to think critically to build their decks and make strategic decisions in real time during combat. It might seem quite difficult to pick up at first, but once you get the hang of it, you will enjoy the feeling of victory by using precise calculations and correct timing for your card play!
The Princess Joins the Battle!
With the full release of Brave's Rage, players will now have access to a 9th playable Brave, the Princess, in addition to the already existing eight Braves, each with their own unique set of skills, playstyle, and deck pool. Of course, players will have to defeat some of the most fearful foes first to bring her back to the Kingdom. But don't forget - it's dangerous to go alone! So players will be able to recruit a second Brave in the Tavern every time they embark on their new journey. The game will introduce new Braves as the adventure progresses. Explorer Evra, Lord Don Qui, Protector Sancho...and many more! Always create a duo in order to advance further. Construct strategies and find synergies, double the builds and quadruple the fun!

Uncover Braves' Alter-egos!
As players progress through the Challenge Tiers, they will be able to unlock Braves' Alter-egos alone the way - Knight Kiki, who appears to be using gear borrowed from Lord Qui; Melisandre, Merlin's first apprentice who has gained knowledge "directly" from the Archmage; Evra, a mysterious girl who looks similar to Evra the Explorer but never speaks... Just clear the Challenge Tiers to unlock all of them!
Bu...Bullet-Time?!
Don't just sit, click and watch your cards get played! You can activate bullet-time at any time to determine the exact timing of your card play. Sometimes it just takes a carefully-timed block to turn the tide completely! Also, make sure you read the actions of your foes! You can time your move to dodge and then connect with counterattacks. Or maybe unleash a powerful MAX Move to sweep them all!
A New Adventure Unfolds!
For what seems like an eternity, the Braves have been stuck in the battle against the Ancient Dragon, with the ultimate goal of rescuing the Princess. However, this time things seem... different?! The Ancient Dragon is nowhere to be found, but so is our Princess... As the Braves embark on this new quest, they must be strategic in their approach. Randomized quests and events offer opportunities to grow stronger and acquire powerful items, but the Braves must choose wisely to ensure they are fully prepared for what lies ahead.
Go Forth Braves! The fate of the kingdom rests in your hands. Let's bring our Princess home!

Brave's Rage brings a fresh take to deckbuilders with its real-time ATB combat system that rewards quick thinking and dynamic decision-making, earning praise for its engaging and creative approach. However, players report unpolished execution with bugs, occasional sluggish combat encounters that feel tedious, translation issues, and general polish concerns that detract from the core experience.
I love roguelike deckbuilders, and I've always enjoyed playing them as fast as I possibly can. The vast majority of the time there's no real benefit to doing this, and in fact you are almost always better off taking your time and thinking through your decisions. But I love the thrill of quickly reading the situation and immediately trying to find the right play to make. Well finally there's a roguelike deckbuilder for people like me. The battles in Brave's Rage are built around an ATB system taken from turn based RPGs. Everything from your actions to your enemies actions to drawing cards and shuffling the deck all play out in real time. This makes for dynamic gameplay that opens up new dimensions of strategy that aren't possible in other deckbuilders. Say for example your character in the back row is being targeted by a ranged attack and you don't have a defense ability in your hand. Simply have that character initiate a melee attack while the ranged attack is in the air and they will move out of the way and not get hit. Or say that you have a powerful ranged attack that only hits the back row but you want to target the enemy in the front row. You can wait until that enemy att…2 found this helpful
really fun deckbuilder, the realtime aspect adds a fresh take on a pretty well worn genre.1 found this helpful
+Player choice +Audio is OK, although no VO -Feels unpolished -Combat can become a total slug; e.g. first chest on first run - the fight would have lasted for easily 5 minutes+ just repeating same actions all over again -> playing felt like a chore -Poorish translations = Neutral review, but since I wouldn't recommend such game for myself, I won't do it to you either.
Active DBG: Brave's Rage is a game with a charming style and an engaging approach to the roguelike deckbuilding genre. There are many bugs that I encountered that weren't game breaking, but were distracting and taking away from the fun I was having.

Play on 2x speed and only slow down if you're going to immediately going to play a card or you're cheating the game and yourself and you didn't actually win and you're a failure to your lineage.
Such a fun and creative active combat system! Think Slay the Spire + realtime combos/blocks. Great game!
