About Burning Branch
Burning Branch is an action rogue-like that will see you hack and slashing your way through a myriad of unique bosses in a miniature animal inhabited world that death forgot.
It towers in the distance, a colossal tree with an indifferent burning eye. The tree that holds your lover. Getting to it is no easy task, but with every new attempt you get stronger, closer. And start to uncover that the reason behind your journey isn't so simple.
Nothing will keep you from your love. Combine uniquely forged weapons and magic from the stars. Creating many powerful synergies and countless unique character builds that you’ll use to blaze a trail directly to the top of that accursed tree.
Many small creatures with big complex personalities litter this world. Everything from rodents and birds, all the way to ghosts, vampires, and demons inhabiting objects in every meaning of that word. All truly unique people to befriend, annoy, estrange, and care for.
Biting the dust after a failed rescue attempt is just another step. Emerge from the ashes. Power up your keepsakes and become permanently stronger. And dive back into another journey facing off against adversaries that actually remember the last time they killed you.
Featuring a deeply personal and considered story about romantic love, but not about romance. A story not about the soaring high feelings that make someone say, ‘I wanna stay with you forever’. But what those feelings materially mean for both parties, and everyone caught in the crossfire.

I'm not really a big fan of the roguelike genre but I really love the art style of the game and the gameplay is fun and entertaining but again what I love most about this game was the art style the artist did a really good job in my opinion3 found this helpful
Here's the thing. It's a decent combat game. But it's got one incredibly horrifying story. No really. It seems like a love story at first. This is a trap. This game is one of the darkest things I've played in a long time. I'm so very impressed by how much of a rug pull the plot gets to be. It's pretty worth it, but check a vid or two so you know how the combat system works. Very good solo dev work and I'm curious what the dev might do next.1 found this helpful
Surprising depth, amazing characterization, immersive music, and storytelling that hits hard if you open yourself up to it.1 found this helpful
It's short, it's simple, it's very engaging. Not much else to say.
This game is a fairly decent souls-like game. It's far from finished of course, but with the current content i'm glad i purchased it! Keep up the good work!
I used to say this was Furry Drama, the game, where the story was concerned but I'm doing an edit on that now with the second chapter out. It's a whole lot deeper than that. Sure, it's about love, blindness, and downright obsession... but the characters that are slowly revealed thru the runs have a lot more depth to them too. They offer alternatives, they have their own pasts that you learn of... also this game is super representative for those who are non-binary and queer and totally go against the norms in gender. I really appreciate that. It's combat is nicely suited for those who aren't quite as quick reflexed as some, like me, and the look and feel of the game is nice. The bosses all have patterns that are learnable and once learned make it that much easier to get thru the encounters. Chapter 2 adds onto the difficulty and has some very creative new bosses to learn as well. A very nice update to the game! I'm enjoying the game and I'll be curious how to see the game progresses as they make more to it!
