Brawlout

I thought that I should alter my review of Brawlout, since the version 1.5 update has finally been released and has improved elements of the game. It's still inferior to the Super Smash Bros. series (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will almost certainly be better value for money), but Brawlout's a good (albeit similar) fighting game on its own. The character roster is mostly original characters, with all the unlockable characters being somewhat different "variants" of the original characters available from the start. Guest characters consist of The Drifter from Hyper Light Drifter, Juan from the Guacamelee! games, Yooka and Laylee from Yooka-Laylee fighting as a '2-in-1' character (kind of like Ice Climbers, Rosalina & Luma, and Duck Hunt Duo in the Super Smash Bros. series), and the protagonist of Dead Cells. The roster is still pretty limited in variation overall though. Some new features have been added since launch. Team matches can now be played, and you can play a "party" mode with various settings such as constantly dropping bombs or starting with a "sudden death" scenario. Also, premium currency is now completely gone (yay!), with your only currency being coins that can be earned relatively easily. This makes unlocking things easier and more fun. Oh, and there's also a new stage from Yooka-Laylee, featuring music from that game. Similarly, there's also a Dead Cells stage. I'm hoping for Hyper Light Drifter and Guacamelee! stages in the future too. The game still lacks items though, and having characters "level up" can still be tedious. On the whole though, Brawlout has shifted from "mediocre" to "good", prompting me to change my score from 6 to 7.

its a decent smash bro like game . good to play with friend, not a ton of content . my only gripe with the game is loading time my god is it long and the CPU are a little too hard in my opinion or my i just stink at the game . the roster isn't much but there interesting at least

This (along with Pokken Tournament DX) are both good alternative fighting games for Nintendo fans waiting for Smash to eventually come to the Switch.

Brawlout is at first glance, the Nintendo switches smash bros. If you think this you will be heart broken to figure out what it really is. story-Doesn't matter gameplay-At first the game is fun but then you will start to realize that it is clunky, and unfair. Enemies will team up against you even though they are not on the same team, attacks don't always register correctly and there was even one time where I glitched under the stage and died. But it is still somewhat fun even if it is a clunky experience. Music-The music is pretty bland in this game, not good but not bad, just boring. graphics-For a 20$ E-Shop game the graphics are impressive, if this were a 60$ game id even say the graphics are 610 but its only an eshop digital only 20$ game. SCOREBOARD- gameplay-4/10 music-4/10 graphics-8/10 Overall- This game is not terrible but is bland and clunky. Though the graphics are impressive for what the game is, graphics are the least crucial out of the 3 so I will have to give this game a 4/10-below average

The only good thing about this game is that it makes me appreciate how well the Smash series is designed. Oh wait, I learned that when I excitedly bought Playstation All Stars and was disgusted with how awful that game turned out. So, I suppose that means there's nothing good about this game. I don't hate the character designs for Brawlout, but I don't like them either. That wouldn't matter if the controls could even closely resemble Smash, but they just feel cheap and messy. As a fighting game, it's a party game at best, I don't think we'll see this at EVO. I wish the Drifter could be taken out and moved into a game that deserves the cameo. Moral of the story? If you don't know how to clone Smash, please don't bother trying.
