About Brandish 2: The Planet Buster

Brandish 2: The Planet Buster is an action role-playing game centered on dungeon exploration. Players assume the role of Ares, a warrior whose signature magical sword is stolen by a warlock named Karl. Following this, Ares is imprisoned underground and must navigate the extensive prison to reclaim his weapon.

The setting occurs three years after the defeat of a demonic king, continuing the narrative from the first game. Gameplay involves real-time combat against enemies, the use of spells, and solving puzzles within multi-level dungeons. Ares can perform actions like jumping forward and attacking objects to break them.

The core objective is to escape the prison complex, which is filled with various hazards, while fighting through its environments. The experience is structured around navigating these rotating dungeon spaces to progress.
