Pocket Bravery

Pocket Bravery is an indie fighting game by Statera Studio. It was inspired by the genre's all-time greats, such as Street Fighter, Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters.

Plot

The cast of Pocket Bravery are ichor wielders, able to channel elemental energy to bolster their strength, channel it through objects or evoke it. The game's protagonist is the vengeful Nuno, tailing the Matilha criminal organization. It's up to us how his fate unfolds.

Mechanics

Pocket Bravery is a 2D fighting game, featuring a wide roster of characters, all of whom differ in terms of fighting styles. The core gameplay consists of arena combat, in such places as New York, Beijing, Glasgow and Japan. The game was designed as to appeal to fighting game veterans and complete newcomers. Aside from punching, kicking, blocking and countering, the combat features three systems we can take advantage of to tip the scales.

The first is the elemental system; charging a special meter lets us unleash a character-specific special move. The second is taunting - a well-timed taunt can benefit us, but also bring unexpected consequences, as the enemies react differently based on their personality and relationship with our character; we're also completely exposed while taunting. The third are breakthrough attacks, letting us sacrifice half of our elemental meter to stop an advancing opponent.

Game modes

Pocket Bravery supports singleplayer, as well as online and local multiplayer.

Technical aspects

Pocket Bravery features colorful, pixel-art visuals inspired by NeoGeo Pocket Color games.
