Our take on Battle Bruise

Rather than keeping combat on a fixed battlefield, the game makes terrain changes part of the encounter: blasts leave holes and fallen enemies form mounds. It also pairs its main Arcade mode with an optional vehicle-defense mode, a shift from a single-mode action structure.

What is Battle Bruise?

Battle Bruise is an action game built around fighting swarms of enemies as the battlefield changes.

Explosions leave holes, and fallen enemies pile up into small mountains that alter the terrain. The main mode is Arcade, with an optional Car Defense mode in which turrets protect a parked vehicle. The game includes around 5 weapon classes, 5 enemies with distinct behaviors, and a final boss. Its soundtrack is by Txai and draws inspiration from the Pothead Zombies series.
