We're proud to share that everything you see in Bramble Royale was 100% created by humans: all the art, sound, code, etc. was created by actual people and not AI.
Welcome to the Arena!
We're excited to welcome you all to the Bramble Royale tournament - an inaugural tournament of heroes from all across Meteorfall, competing to win the legendary Mask of the Uberlich. The tournament is hosted by the titular Bramble and his good pal Grimble.
Do you have what it takes to win the Bramble Royale?
Bramble Royale is a fast-paced deck builder set in the world of Meteorfall. You start by choosing a team and then over the course of a run, you'll battle other teams, customize / upgrade your deck, and then battle another team until you make you way to the end of the tournament. Win or lose, you'll start over at the end with a new team.Each run is a bit different, in typical roguelike fashion. There are different enemy teams you'll face, the cards you're offered are different, etc... The goal is that the game should be replayable for months to come.
There are A LOT of deck builders out there and we didn't want to just clone what's already there. From Day 1, Bramble Royale was built to feel fast-paced and fresh.
- Team-based. Your card & perk pool is determined by your team. New combinations of heroes can unlock strategies.
- Any hero can use any card: even if 'belongs' to another hero. This helps make the game faster paced and unlocks a lot of interesting strategies.
- Modular upgrades. You can mix and match upgrades on cards. Lots of really wild combos you can pull off with clever use of upgrades.
- Play a card, draw card. There are two types of cards in Bramble Royale: Items and Abilities. With abilities, you automatically draw a card when you play them, giving you a ton of inherent card draw. This helps quickly cycle through your deck and helps the game feel more dynamic.
- Grid based tactics. Positoning matters - put units behind your tanks or move units around the battlefield to influence where enemy hits land.
We think the result is something unlike any other deckbuilder you've played and hopefully brings some new ideas to the genre.
OK, so what is Meteorfall exactly?
Bramble Royale is the third game in a series of games called Meteorfall. The first was simply called Meteorfall and released on iOS/Android in 2017. Krumit's Tale (Steam/iOS/Android) followed in 2020.Although the games all take place in the world of Meteorfall, all the games are quite different! We pride ourselves on creating new, unique mechanics for each game with similar themes unifying the games. For instance, all the games involve deck building mechanics, a roguelike 'run-based' gameplay, etc... Additionally, there is significant overlap between the characters.

What's Next for Bramble Royale?
This isn't the road for Bramble Royale. We plan to support the game with a number of free content updates. That includes new cards and most importantly, new heroes! We're in the process of prototyping some new mechanics for these new heroes and our goal is to really push the envelope with the hero design so that they feel totally different than any of the other heroes.Naturally, we'll be checking the Reddit / Discord / Bluesky for all the great community feedback and using that to help inform the Bramble Royale roadmap.
And of course, we're also thinking about what's after that. We're already cooking on some ideas for the 4th Meteorfall game, so stay tuned for more on that!
Thank You!
Whether you're new to the Meteorfall series of games or you've been following us since the release of the original Meteorfall in 2017, we'd like to give a big THANK YOU for all of the support! Game dev is often fun in the beginning and becomes a slog to make it through the last 10% to release.One thing that helped was all the reactions and excitement from fans as we posted updates on the game's progress, concept art, etc... Knowing there was a group of folks who were looking forward to more Meteorfall really helped us power through to the end. Feeling grateful for all of you!
