Brawlout

Brawlout is a platform fighter that combines platform-fighting mechanics with traditional fighting-game play. You can play locally on the couch or online, in matches for up to four players. Its mix of competitive mechanics and party modes is designed for experienced players, casual players and newcomers.

Fighters and variants

The roster includes six original characters and four characters from other indie games: Dead Cells, Yooka-Laylee, Guacamelee and Hyper Light Drifter. Each character has a distinct playstyle based on familiar fighting-game archetypes, including grapplers and rushdown fighters.

Each original Brawlout character has three Variants, which change the character’s stats and outfit and can add new moves. Alongside cosmetic skins, these Variants bring the total cast to 25 individual fighters.

Movement and combat

Movement includes techniques such as wavedashing and airdodging. The Rage Meter builds as you deal and take damage, and lets you choose between two abilities. Rage Burst spends half the meter to push opponents back, interrupt their combos and create space; when the meter is full, Rage Mode increases the knockback you deal and reduces the knockback you take.

Game modes

Up to four players can compete in Timed, Stock, Team Battles, FFA and Party Modes. AI opponents are available for practice or to fill out a free-for-all match.

You can practise team combos with a friend, work through Advanced Tutorials, take on Arcade Towers or play Trials.
