If you leave the features of Bramble: The Mountain King for the first time, you quickly get the impression that you are dealing with an off-the-peg video game production. A few classic adventure elements here, a family member waiting to be rescued there and the odd boss fight are of course also a must.
However, the latest work from the indie developers of the Dimfrost Studios I am definitely wrong with this conclusion. If you let the world of the adventure game sink in, you will quickly realize that the fantasy adventure published by Merge Games provides a breath of fresh air in the genre in terms of gameplay.

The different areas of the game world range from dark caves to vast forests and are inhabited by all kinds of creatures that can be dangerous to Olle in case of doubt. It is therefore always important to weigh up whether a direct Confrontation with a potentially deadly opponent makes sense, or whether Olle should rather try to avoid it and sneak past an opponent.
The spark of courage provides hope
In order to hold his own in the dangerous world of Bramble: The Mountain King, Olle resorts to the Nurse to the magical artifact called "The Spark of Courage". Thanks to the power emanating from this artifact, the budding hero is able to face even the most difficult challenges and overcome deadly abysses.
According to Merge Games However, Bramble: The Mountain King not only scores with its exciting story and the varied game world. At regular intervals, players are also confronted with boss battles of "epic proportions", which are supposed to demand everything from them.
Rounded off the dark fantasy adventure According to official information, the game features high-quality graphics that bring the world of Bramble to digital life in an appealing way. And since a suitable soundscape is more than half the battle in an adventure of this kind, the developers also promise an atmospheric and well-placed soundtrack.
