Revealed on the PlayStation Blog, In Space, We Brawl is a twin stick, couch multiplayer arcade shooter, which pits you and three others up against eachother deep in space. Players choose form an array of space fighters, each with their own strengths, attributes, and weaknesses. Each battleground is completely different, and based on the hazards of the frontier such as blackholes and solar winds.

Coupled with several additional players, this makes for a challenging, fun, and frantic gameplay experience.  The game also takes advantage of “couch multiplayer”, which is the practice of playing a multiplayer game alongside your friends in the same room you are in, as featured in the trailer above.

As revealed in the blog post, Alessandro Mezzega from Forge Replay Studios mentions the many inspirations for the game, including how the idea came from a napkin sketch:

“Another source of inspiration has been the classic versus beat ‘em up genre, because of the diversity in the characters and the fighting styles. We decided to elaborate on this and went for a diverse roster of spaceships and weapons: In Space We Brawl lets you try 100+ different combinations, between 11 vessels and 11 tools of space-destruction.”

In Space, We Brawl is slated for release on the PlayStation 3 and Playstation 4. For more on the unique features of the game on Sony consoles, visit the PlayStation Blog post here. Also, check out Forge Replay here, and connect with the on Twitter and Facebook.
