What players say

Battle Bruise is a hilarious ride! The wild characters and outrageous moves had me in stitches. Every match feels like a cartoon brawl, and the chaos is just pure fun. Perfect for some laughs and epic battles!

Quite honestly, it feels like if the broken-ness of "Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing" was fine tuned into a top down horde shooter. Not much to say really other than it looks nice and is really fun to play. It's also funny to see a bipedal cat moonwalking with a sniper rifle while defending a car that has missiles shooting from cannons on top of it. Simply have a good time piling up bones and then crashing through...

This game is really fun and reminds me of the old flash game days, despite it feeling short i can replay it because the music is pretty good and i still have fun regardless.
