Bramble: The Mountain King Reviews

While the idea to create a game based on nordic folklore seems good the execution just doesen't work for this one. Thematically it's all over the place with infantile scenes where you herd little infants wearing cloudberries on their heads into pens and then it switches to desolate scenes were scores of people are hanged and butchered brutally. Mechanically the game is also lacking, janky controls and repetetive bossfights which reuse the same mechanics. Lastly the story of the game is quite basic and doesen't really make any sense and neither does it do much to make you care about it.

This game was a wondrously beautiful story, atmospherically stunning and I have not been able to find another to compare. I wish all games took the time to delve into such rich stories and detailed history.

Absolutely BRUTAL, was NOT expecting the occasional beats my heart would skip playing this game. Great visual storytelling, soundtrack, and folklore!

This game is visually stunning, great music great story. I saw a review about the difficult bosses and just want to point out this can be said about all platformers. The camera movement and lack of control over that is probably my biggest issue with the game. Overall it's a great game and I'm having fun playing it while transitioning into fall/spooky season. I'd still recommend grabbing it on sale.

Brutal-dark-scandinavian folklore. Lots of emotions. Creepy and uncomfortable (in a good way) experience. Highly recommend

[h1] A short but satisfying game with awesome atmospheric horror. [/h1] I don’t know about you guys, but my bucket list is stacked with 50–60+ hour epics, some even crossing the 100-hour mark. This was the perfect bite-sized break in between. [u][b] Graphics [/b][/u]: If you’ve looked at the store page, you know what you’re getting. It fits the vibe of the game and doesn’t take away from the horror. [u][b] Sound [/b][/u]: The narrator telling the story is a nice touch. I liked it a lot. The score is awesome too. The bosses, especially the last one, have fantastic music. [u][b] Gameplay [/b][/u]: It’s a platformer/puzzler that’s not too difficult. It has some stealth gameplay and horror elements. I loved the combination overall. [h3] If you love this kind of games this is a solid [u]8/10[/u] for sure. [/h3]

This game was awesome, easily one of the best indie horror games out there. The blend of Nordic folklore with a dark, emotional narrative was both unique and captivating. The atmosphere, storytelling, and visuals come together to make some pretty memorable game play. PS. The narrator (Nola Klop) did a fantastic job in this game!

This was incredible. Such a creepy atmosphere throughout. It's very similar to Limbo and Inside, but without the side-scrolling element. About 4-5 hours to complete. Be warned that this game has a lot of dark imagery and themes. It also has the cutest gnomes ever.

More an experience, similar to Little Nightmares but in Nordic folklore. It has it moments but the gameplay is pretty awkward/boring from time to time; the camera is often annoying (2D in 3D), making movement inaccurate, often causing deaths that don't feel fair (and the no damage achievement is just mean). Puzzles aren't really puzzles but more a find-the-key objective. Combining that with a story about 4 hours long, which seems short, yet I wasn't unhappy it was over. Soundtrack and graphics are great, the main character looks a bit plain for a main character, but the bosses are interesting designs In short: not bad but in the same genre there are better games (Little Nightmares/INSIDE), best get this on sale after trying those

Bramble: The Mountain King is a fascinating adventure. Each character you meet on your Nordic expedition is wonderfully designed and will instantly capture your imagination. It combines elements of an under-explored culture in games to create a great fantasy and horror experience. Even though the movement is a little rigid and the game is extremely linear, it manages to deliver a unique experience that will fester in your psyche. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3517080015 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3515918307
