Pixels or Death's Mike Barrett reviews Brand, the recently released Xbox Live Indie Game:
"All that adds up to a slow, tedious uphill climb to the end. Brand promises a fun, quick romp bashing bad guys and playing around with different upgrades across multiple games...Instead, it grinds to a halt, being drawn out far too long by repeated deaths, slow load times, and the fact that each quest must be done individually rather than stacking multiple objectives."
The Brand of the Year contest is heating up, and I'm here to tell you why my favourite peripheral company, SteelSeries, deserves to win this year's crown.
Nine Dots Studio’s first game, Brand, launched on Xbox Live Indie Games back in February. PC gamers may have had to wait a couple of months for their version of the game but they can finally take their crack at powering up their swords. The game is available now.
While the XBLIG version met with lukewarm reviews, a fairly substantial patch helped improve the final product. It’s available at Desura at an introductory price of $4.24 (down from $4.99) and IndieCity for £3.00.
The Xbox Live Indie Game Brand was quite popular when it first launched and for everyone who bought the game, here’s what you can expect in the most recent update from developer Nine Dots Studio.
