Always on the lookout for new riches
What does the gameplay in Bravery and Greed look like? You work your way through dungeons, constantly searching for more gold, with the goal of becoming the richest adventurer ever. In addition, you collect helpful loot, such as gloves, amulets, boots, and wands that make you stronger. While you solve all the puzzles, be careful of traps!
Within the dungeons, you will also find different paths, such as the “Path of Life” or the “Path of Darkness.” Depending on which path you choose, you can gain new abilities.
You have four different characters to choose from, each with their own strengths and combo movesets:
- The Rogue: An agile fighter with a bow and daggers, excelling in stealth, speed, and mobility.
- The Warrior: A sturdy fighter with a sword and shield, who excels in melee combat and defending against ranged attacks.
- The Wizard: A mage with a scepter, who incapacitates opponents with summons and energy waves and can teleport.
- The Amazon: A warrior with a sword and chakram, who fights particularly effectively at close and medium range.
Death is permanent in the game. You only keep part of your riches when you die and must restart.
Is there a multiplayer mode? You can play Bravery and Greed either alone or with other players. Team play increases your chances of survival. With up to 3 friends, you can play either online or locally in coop. You can also compete against others in the PvP mode.

- Loki_LuxTTV: “20 dollars. That’s all it costs. And it gave me and my dungeon crawling group one of the craziest and most fun times we’ve ever had in a roguelite/hack n’slash/co-op game! […] My only issue in the 7 hours of my current playthrough is that it crashed 3 times. But the developers have been very accommodating and are looking into what is going on! Despite the crashes, it’s SUPER easy to get back into your friends’ lobby and continue playing! The bonus of this game is that it also has a DEMO. Give it a try! It definitely needs more love! <3”
- The Mett Duck: “Very cool game! My friends and I love it. We played the demo during demo Steam week. Incredible.”
- Johnny Link: “Super fun game. The battles are enjoyable and rewarding. Co-op is incredibly fun. If you’re interested (which you are because you’re reading this), get this game and team up with a few friends. You won’t be disappointed (sorry for the lame review. I don’t usually write reviews, but I had to make an exception for such a great game).”
