Brawlout is the competitive platform fighter, designed for couch play, online ranked matches and competitive tournaments.
On a surface level Brawlout is a decent Smash Bros. clone. It's colourful and easy to pick up, but the brawling itself lacks impact and edge. If you're looking for a more casual fighting game experience -- something to play with friends, perhaps -- then it's worth a shout, but keep your expectations in check.
Brawlout caters to the serious Smash fans, but without the charm, variety, or recognizable characters.
Brawlout is a Smash Bros.-like fighting game that's equal parts admirable and frustrating.
Brawlout's core action is a lot of fun; with a huge amount of ideas inspired by genre greats such as Super Smash Bros., the action feels tight, fast, and can be a pleasure to play. The limited character roster means that attack variations can only go so far, and some performance hiccups prevent Brawlout from being truly wonderful, but for an on-the-go, cheaper alternative to a game that hasn't even been announced for the console yet, this isn't a bad choice – just make sure to keep the issues we mentioned in mind.
