Not so cute and cuddly; Strategically build out your deck to take on a nightmarish toy shop tournament!
Barbaric Games is excited to announce that their debut title, Bearly Brave, is out now on Steam! Step through the doors of this deceptively charming toy shop, where the teddies on the shelves share a dark secret; they’ve been fighting for their lives each night.
Now it’s your turn to help one of them escape; choose from a selection of 110 different weapon and utility cards, then take on the bosses in the ultimate plushie arena. If you play your hand right, you’ll dish out devastating combos that crumble your foes and ensure you don’t wind up as spare fluff swept under the rug.
Earn Your Spot On The Shelves
Welcome to Bearly Brave, a roguelike deckbuilder where the plushies are anything but cute and cuddly. Play as Toby, a timid bear with big dreams and even bigger fears, as he fights through a ruthless tournament in a toy store filled with twisted, unhinged competitors, all determined to take his spot on the shelves.
With hand-drawn 2D art at its core, and inspired by genre favorites like Balatro and Slay the Spire, Bearly Brave puts a fresh spin on deckbuilding with high-stakes one-turn combos, collectible patches, and tactical strategy. Begin with a starter deck of 10 cards and carefully create deadly combinations that’ll unlock powerful synergies and deal amplified damage. Featuring fast runs, permanent death, and different opponents each time you step into the ring, Bearly Brave offers high replayability for everyone.
Master the Combo System & Adapt to Ruthless Enemies
With each round you’ll be allowed only one combo, so pay close attention to card energy costs and be mindful of your total energy limit. Build powerful synergies by playing weapon and skill cards together. Match Brands to trigger bonus effects like extra damage, energy, defense, or buttons. Position matters; reorder your cards to maximize their impact, balance their effects, and discard wisely to find that one missing piece. Every turn is a puzzle with explosive potential.
Each boss in Bearly Brave comes with unique mechanics that force you to rethink your strategy. Whether that’s adding negative cards to your deck, amplifying their own attacks, or disrupting your build in unexpected ways, no two fights feel the same. Stay alert, adjust your build, and fight back with style.
Endless Combos. Absurd Damage. Total Chaos.
With hundreds of synergies and card modifiers to discover, no two trips through the toy shop are ever the same. Bearly Brave offers high replayability—and for those who crave pure madness, Endless Mode lets you chase record-breaking damage and combo chains that spiral completely out of control. As you progress, unlock new cards and upgrades that create fresh synergies for future runs. Between battles, visit Grimble’s Shop to trade buttons from defeated enemies for weapons, patches, and candies. These items can be combined to snowball into massive one-shot damage numbers.
