Iron Bramble Closes Demo Updates With v0.8.0, Shifts to Full Version
A demo that draws 897 reviews at a 99% recommendation rate has done its job, and the team is now steering the same physics-driven grappling hook system toward a 2027 release instead of another patch cycle.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
The PC (Steam) Metroidvania Iron Bramble released its v0.8.0 demo update, which developer PLAYISM described as the last for now. The patch adds grappling hook aim assist, borderless fullscreen, and a VSYNC toggle, plus map readability changes and bug fixes. The demo, available since September 17, 2026, holds an Overwhelmingly Positive rating from 897 reviews, and PLAYISM reported the wishlist count has passed 100,000. The full game is scheduled for 2027.
The v0.8.0 build arrived as the final update for now, and the team said it answers requests that came up repeatedly during the demo period. The grappling hook now has aim assist, and the settings menu adds borderless fullscreen and a VSYNC toggle. Map work targets a common complaint: impassable room boundaries are now easier to read at a glance.
The feedback form is closed along with the update. Steam discussion threads stay open, though the team noted the way feedback is solicited may change. Iron Bramble remains scheduled for PC (Steam) in 2027.
