Gameplay

[edit]

Brawloutis aplatform fighterin which two to four players fight against each other, in an environment with various platforms. The game features 25 playable characters, including four guest fighters. 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 one's opponents off the stage.

Brawloutdoes not use blocking, and most characters are incapable of grabbing others. Instead, its gameplay is based on combos. Fighting builds up the player's Rage Meter, which fuels powerful special attacks, and adds an extra layer of strategy, by triggering the Combo Breaker or Rage Mode.[8]
