Review: The Light Brigade (PSVR2) - Solid Rogue-Lite Doesn't Need to Reinvent the Wheel
Look for the light. Developer Funktronic Labs is no stranger to crafting interesting, meaningful roguelike experiences. Look no further than Nova-111, a fantastic game released back in 2015. Fast forward a handful of years, and the developers have revisited this ever-fruitful well, delivering the rogue-lite The Light Brigade for Sony's new headset. Armed with the power of PSVR2 and a rock-solid core, the game offers yet another excellent option for any intrepid VR players. The core of The Light Brigade is pretty simple. It's a procedurally generated rogue-lite that sees you assume the role of a holy warrior trying to halt, and hopefully undo, a calamity that has befallen the world. To do so, you must fight your way through a variety of environments while wielding a number of iconic weapons from World War II as well as a smattering of spells. The game doesn't get too crazy with its central mechanics, though. Funktronic has decided to focus on the basics with this title to great effect. You have basic levelling mechanics to permanently upgrade weapons, an item shop, intermittent boss fights, etc. You see most of the tenets you'd expect to encounter when booting up any rogue-lite, but it's all executed at a high level.
