Portal Brawlers is a side-scrolling Beat'em'Up in the tradition of Golden Axe and Streets of Rage, set in a beautiful fantasy world and embracing the tropes of classic fantasy storytelling. 

Choose from Thunk the Barbarian, Omar the Dwarf, or Umi the Corsair and battle your way through 9+ levels of Arcade-style Beat'Em'Up Gameplay!

Combining classic brawler design with RPG-Lite Elements like Potions, Equipment, and Magic and with a variety of weapons to wield, the players must travel across the land to discover who is behind the mysterious portals that are spreading foul, crystalline corruption - and punch 'em!
