Brawlout

Brawlout is a fighting game developed and published by Angry Mob Games for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game was revealed at EVO in July 2016, and went into closed beta in December 2016. The game was released on April 20, 2017. Various outlets, such as Engadget, have compared Brawlout title to the Super Smash Bros. series.

Angry Mob Games has partnered with UK publisher Merge Games to release physical retail copies for the Nintendo Switch in May 2018.

Gameplay
Brawlout is a fighting game in which 2 to 4 players fight against each other, in an environment with various platforms. The game features 24 playable characters, including guest fighters from Hyper Light Drifter, Guacamelee!, Yooka-Laylee and Dead Cells. Characters use a variety of fighting moves and special attacks. Each attack does damage, increasing the opponent’s damage percent. When the damage increases, the victim flies further. The purpose of each battle is to throw your opponents off the stage.

Brawlout does away with blocking, grabbing and edge-grabbing to reveal a system based on combos. Fighting builds up player’s Rage Meter, which fuels powerful special attacks, and adds an extra layer of strategy, by triggering the Combo Breaker or Rage Mode.

Online modes
Brawlout was designed for couch play and robust online play, with 2-4 player quick matches, ranked ladders, private lobbies and Brawlout TV for watching live matches, featured replays and for making live tournaments much easier to stream.

Reception
Brawlout has sold over 50,000 copies on the Nintendo Switch.
