No Place For Bravery Aims For Q1 2021 Launch Window On Switch

Publisher Ysbryd Games and developer Glitch Factory have announced a release window for their top down action RPG No Place For Bravery on Switch.

The news comes almost three years after Glitch Factory first expressed interest in bringing the title to Switch, which is now aiming to launch in Q1 2021 for Switch and PC. During the interim, the No Place For Bravery has transitioned from being a roguelike to a more narrative driven experience.

Check out the new trailer below, along with some additional details via Ysbryd Games:

No Place For Bravery is a top-down action RPG that explores the lengths a parent would go to find their child in a war torn world.

Developer Glitch Factory will leverage Ysbryd Games’ years of experience on beloved narrative-driven experiences like cyberpunk bartending sim VA-11 HALL-A and cosmic horror roguelike World of Horror to help bring the gripping story and pixel art landscapes of No Place for Bravery to immersive life.

An old soldier dedicated to the advancement of his people, Thorn reassesses his priorities and prepares to lay down his sword, until discovering his long-lost daughter Leaf still lives.In a bid to expunge the nightmares which plague him, Thorn sets out with his disabled foster son Phid to find Leaf, and endures a painful quest that forces him to confront the decisions made in his ambitious past.

No Place For Bravery places equal emphasis on narrative and action, with fast-paced movement paired with swift strikes and tactical parries during combat encounters. Progression is not about leveling up and increasing stat numbers, but earning upgrades discovered from significant encounters and uncovering the secrets laying in wait within the beautiful world of Dewr.

No Place For Bravery’s art conveys the goals of its gameplay by featuring an incredibly detailed pixel world, a stirring soundtrack and hand-painted textures. Characters feature fluid animation, all created in a style drawing inspiration from medieval, high fantasy and apocalyptic fiction.

Originally conceived of as a roguelike in 2016, Glitch Factory overhauled No Place For Bravery in the years since to deliver an experience that more closely follows their vision and inspirations, with a narrative-driven campaign influenced by the difficult experiences of its creators.
