Pocket Bravery is a 2D fighting game with a retro pixel-art look and a roster of 12 original fighters. Choose a character with a distinct style and take on rivals in head-to-head matches or follow the cast through story mode.
Combat combines combos and special moves with Ichor, an elemental energy system that can create offensive or defensive options. Fighters have different abilities and play styles, and players can build energy to unleash powerful ultimate attacks.
Modes include story and arcade play, local and online versus matches, and training. Combo Factory lets players practice combos against a computer opponent with adjustable timing.
In the supplied reviews, players frequently praise the varied fighters and combat, describing the elemental system and combo options as engaging while still approachable to newcomers. Pixel art and the amount of single-player content, including story mode, also draw positive comments. Some reviewers report control or technical problems, difficult computer opponents, and too few players available for online matches.
