Evaluation
Brave's Rage launched into Early Access in June 2022 and graduated to its full 1.0 release on February 1–2, 2023. The full release was a substantial content milestone: it added a ninth playable character (the Princess), a complete story mode spanning Challenge Tiers 1–15, five additional challenge tiers (16–20), a new Timed Trial mode, new enemies, new cards, and cosmetic unlocks. This was the content the developers had been building toward throughout Early Access.
After the 1.0 launch, the developer issued a feature patch (v1.01) on February 21, 2023 and a bug fix patch (v1.02) on April 25, 2023, both addressing post-launch polish and stability. The most recent developer communication found in the news feed is a Lunar New Year Sale announcement from January 26, 2025 — a promotional post, not a content announcement.
There are no unreleased DLC entries on the store, no roadmap describing future content, and no developer statements indicating that additional content is planned. The store description and short description describe the game as a complete package with 9 playable Braves and 20 challenge tiers, consistent with the full release content. The developer has not communicated any post-launch content plans at any point after the 1.0 launch, and the post-launch update history consists entirely of bug fixes and balance patches. The game was launched as a complete product on February 1, 2023, and no evidence suggests otherwise.

About this game
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!
It's Dangerous to Go Alone!
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!
