Brandish for the PC Engine/Turbo Graphix CD!

The weirdest version of brandish by far, in terms of controls and graphics! I managed to somehow find a way to operate them efficiently unlike everyone else! I also thought rest was absent until I saw it in the menu! That made me mad. This was kinda my first time playing, but I did play a little earlier just to test it to see if it's working! Then, I had to look up the controls so I don't die during gameplay, but I died anyway! TO A WASP! LIKE ALWAYS! (Except dark revenant and brandish 2. Thank god falcom got them taken care of in those games!) I do still kinda like this version, since it is very close to the PC-98 version except with more detailed and animated cutscenes and voice acting! The soundtrack arrangements are good too, but I feel like they're lacking songs... it's missing a lot of songs actually! Including their most iconic brandish 1 boss song"Brutal Beating/Headless" is sadly absent, which is really disappointing, since it would have been awesome to hear an arrangement of that song! At least dark revenant got us covered with an arrangement of the song, and it's AWESOME! Overall, this port is pretty decent, but I wish they did better with the controls. The controls could have been much better! Yes, I know they had only two buttons to work with, but I still feel like they should have done better! Really, my only issue is the controls, graphics, and lack of songs! Other than that, it's pretty solid! I might play this version again later on, but no matter what, Dark Revenant will ALWAYS be the BEST version of brandish 1! Enjoy! (PS: I'm still searching for brandish 3!) Also, I know you maybe asking about the thumbnail! FYI: Ares Bodypillows don't exist! It's just for the thumbnail! Gonna state this now before lolmeowaj or daniel or SOMEONE asks about it! (looks at lolmeowaj while remembering her admitting to simping for varik and getting hooked on EarthBound cuz of him.) AND PLEASE DONT COME CRYING TO ME CUZ' TOU DON'T HAVE AN ARES BODYPILLOW! Welp, good night!... err, good morning?... idk lol!
