The biggest problem of Brawlout is his lack of identity. A funny and aggressive fighting game for Switch with interesting game mechanics and a lot of single-player and multiplayer content. Perfect for local play with other three friends.
So is Brawlout a good game? Yes, for the most part, it offers everything I would hope to see in a fight arena game. However, a lack of ingenuity in design and some awkward paywalls in the store may find this title on the wrong side of a TKO judgment come round 12 in the ring.

As someone who has never played a smash bros game and had read lots of negative reviews online, I was pleasantly surprised, it plays well, is fun, has nice unique characters and I love the multiplayer, the only downsides are how swarmed you get in a four-player match, it doesn't have items and how it is a nightmare to unlock new stuff, but, before smash comes out and for the price it's at, I would recommend buying this.

Brawlout is a fine smashlike for Nintendo Switch, though has got some pretty evident flaws.
Brawlout’s core action is a lot of fun; with a huge amount of ideas inspired by genre greats such as Super Smash Bros., the action feels tight, fast, and can be a pleasure to play. The limited character roster means that attack variations can only go so far, and some performance hiccups prevent Brawlout from being truly wonderful, but for an on-the-go, cheaper alternative to a game that hasn’t even been announced for the console yet, this isn't a bad choice – just make sure to keep the issues we mentioned in mind.
Brawlout isn’t terrible, but it’s a struggle to recommend to anyone. If you play Smash Bros. by yourself a lot, maybe this has the kind of content you’ll enjoy, but with no reason for casual players to get involved, and an inferior competitive game compared to Smash, Brawlout isn’t a game I’d put on my wishlist.
Brawlout is clearly trying its best to create a unique identity from the game that inspired it. However, the ways in which it's trying to do this--by removing key mechanics and putting an emphasis on grindy unlocks--don't work in its favor. Combine this with an online mode that just doesn't seem to function correctly most of the time and you've got a game that's disappointing in its current form.
There are flashes of what might have been, but otherwise Brawlout doesn't feel so much a plucky underdog as a no-hoper, entering a fight it knows it can't win in the hope of a big payday just for showing up. A first-round stoppage to the champion, then, with the challenger being booed out of the ring. [March 2018, p.122]
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.

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.

Summary Brawlout packs a punch with couch and online play modes, blending platform fighter mechanics and traditional fighting game play into a stylish and fluid battle royale. Rather than slow-paced defensive battles, Brawlout goes all-out with the lightning-fast aerobatics which platform fighters are famous for. Striking the balance between the...
