Pocket Bravery is a indie fighting game developed by Brazilian company Statera Studios and published by PQube and PixelHeart.[1] The game was created in pixel art inspired by the chibi aesthetic of the Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix game and the Neo Geo Pocket Color fighting games.[2] And influenced by the retro 2D games like Street Fighter, Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters which it pays homage to.[3]
The game was announced in April 2020, and during its development there were several tests and even championships, in addition to two beta phases, a closed beta that started on August 10, 2023, exclusively for people who donated to the game, and an open beta in the following day.[4][5] Pocket Bravery was released on August 31, 2023, and intends to be released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S but no date has been set yet.[6][7]
The creation of Pocket Bravery was somewhat turbulent due to a lack of funding and distrust among the gaming community due to the controversies surrounding the game Trajes Fatais, on which producer Jonathan Silva had previously worked on.[8][9] Despite the disbelief, the project managed to win over the public, raising funds that not only made its release possible, but also has continuous support for DLCs and updates.[10]
