EGGCONSOLE Brandish Renewal PC-9801

This is an action RPG released in Japan by Nihon Falcom in 1995 and is a renewed version of Brandish (1991). The player takes on the role of the bounty head Ares, fighting various enemies, overcoming jumps and traps, and aiming to escape from the underground labyrinth.

The game’s screen layout appears orthodox, but it uses a head-up view similar to car navigation, where the character always moves toward the top, and turning changes the orientation of the terrain. This rotating map allows players to view the terrain from multiple angles, but it also means that switches are sometimes placed in blind spots. If you get stuck, try rotating the map; you might discover an unexpected way forward.

Compared to the original version, this remake features enhanced sound, changes to the BGM, more visibility of pitfalls, and adjustments for monsters recovering health—making this Brandish even more enjoyable.
