Brawlout Reviews
In its current state, Brawlout is a competent Smash clone. While its frantic and deep mechanics are a fun time for competitive types, the overall lack of features can make the game feel empty at times. However, with promised updates and patches, this game could take the spot as one of the better fighting games on the Switch.
Brawlout is a fine smashlike for Nintendo Switch, though has got some pretty evident flaws.

If you're desperate for a Super Smash Bros. style brawler on Switch there may be enough here to warrant a purchase as long as you plan to put plenty of hours in with your friends. Otherwise, you may just find that it'll provide more frustration than fun.
Brawlout is affordable, has a great weight and feel to its gameplay and is fun to get a group of friends together to play.
Brawlout is a simple fighting title that features mechanics clearly inspired by the Super Smash Bros series, with some differences. The cast of characters has no charisma, but the guest characters (Juan, Drifter and Yooka-Laylee) are good additions. The online mode is functional with players in the same region. The biggest problem is the gameplay, which is a bit strange to get used to, especially with the impact of the attacks. If you are looking for a Smash Bros on PlayStation consoles, it is worth checking it out, but have in mind that it is an inferior version of the Nintendo brawler.

Brawlout attempts to fill a niche that is currently not occupied on the Switch. Unfortunately, being plagued by a rushed launch, it is not fully polished and feels lacking in content. Combat, the main focus of this platform fighter, feels clunky and requires a fair amount of tweaking before it's "just right." Paired with a handful of bugs and questionable mechanics, competitive players might not be satisfied with the current status of this title, but more casual players or those who want a party game with friends can find some enjoyment to be had here.
It’s like a Diet Smash Bros, with the character unlock model leaving a bad taste in your mouth.
This is a actually a pretty decent clone of Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo Switch, and it might scratch that certain itch, but the terrible shop-based unlock system really sours the experience of playing the game and unlocking everything naturally.
It's unfortunately bogged down by a dearth of single-player material and ultimately, this game is doomed by the fact that it stakes so much in online play that doesn't run well. If the online was workable, Brawlout would be much better. As it stands, it's not, and this is a highly flawed experience.
For an indie without a Smash Bros. budget, Brawlout does well and delivers a great product, with good online moments, though single player is weak and a story mode is missing.

Starting with the core gameplay it’s clearly inspired by Smash from a concept and controls standpoint but there’s no doubt it targeted a more competitive play experience than a casual one...
Brawlout is a good brawler action game that is enjoyed both solo and accompanied, although a larger cast of characters and more interactive and dynamic settings would have been excellent for the game.

This is not that good of a game but is certainly not the worst. I could sit down and play this with my daughter just to let her have fun playing such a simple game with simple controls and end game. This is not something that I'd say I could come back to and enjoy time after time.
Although Brawlout's mechanics and gameplay are decent, and great for any party, the lack of modes hampers the game's replayability, making it harder to recommend.
Brawlout is a solid brawling title with gorgeous environments, wacky characters and combat that generally feels just alright.
There is definitely a giant sized hole on the Nintendo Switch where a new Super Smash Bros. game should be right now, leaving fans to look for an alternate. Brawlout definitely fits that bill as a potential fill-in for the time being, but you’re going to have to overlook a number of flaws to get a lot of enjoyment out of it.
Mechanically Brawlout is rock solid and with a few patches focussed on smoothing out the touchy framerate and really rough online, it could be an experience that builds and holds an audience in the long term.
BRAWLOUT IS CHALLENGING, SURPRISING AND RAUCOUS FUN.
Brawlout is a close but no cigar attempt to reinvigorate the Smash fighter. The FingerGuns Review;
