Story

Within the realm of Pocket Bravery, some individuals possess unique abilities such as projecting energy from their hands, strengthening their muscles, while others specialized in imbuing objects and weapons with their very essence.

Following our protagonist Nuno and several other characters investigating the criminal organization Matilha, Pocket Bravery explores a story of revenge through the eyes of multiple characters, with alternative paths available to the player.

Travel to Iconic Worldwide Stages

Select a character out of twelve, each with distinct traits and abilities, as you fight your way through twenty diverse levels that span various global locations.

Select from various stages such as New York, Beijing, Glasgow, Japan, and more, each with fantastic pixel visuals and animated backgrounds!

Unique Gameplay Systems

  • Elemental System – Through this system, it is possible to execute elemental attacks that have different characteristics from your characters natural elemental affinity and bring new offensive or defensive possibilities for the player.
  • Taunt System – During a match, provocations can bring big advantages and disadvantages! Depending on the characters’ personality or relationship, different reactions can occur, so be careful! During the taunt animation, the character is still vulnerable, so make sure you’re not opening yourself up to a devastating attack!
  • Breaker System – At the cost of half the elemental bar (or the full elemental bar if you are not guarding), utilizing a breaker is the best defense against an opponent’s pressure. When blocking or being hit, use this to turn the tables!

Local and Online Multiplayer

Featuring rollback netcode, online and local matches are instant and seamless, with near-zero latency!

As a gamer, I’d describe “Pocket Bravery” as a game that boasts completely hand-drawn pixel art visuals and dynamic, interactive gameplay. The focus is on making the characters’ animations and movements as fluid as possible during matches to enhance the gaming experience.
