### 1/5 — Just a campaign mode with already maxed characters.

*2026-05-14, version 2.61.20*

I’m really confused about the positive reviews. I start the game with what seems like all the characters and they’re all maxed out. And there’s only a campaign mode. If I’m not doing anything myself it’s not really a game so much as playing someone’s maxed account to auto easily winnable battles.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-03-19, version 2.61.20*

Good work but you need add all Collab :)

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-09-24, version 2.61.20*

NEOWIZ has released a standalone/offline version of Brave Nine (the predecessor of BrownDust2), and I truly appreciate this decision. It shows they genuinely value the players who have supported their games over the years.
I will continue to support BrownDust2, just as I did Brave Nine. I hope to see all Brave Nine characters eventually brought into BrownDust2, along with more battle animations.

### 5/5 — Thank you..
