I thought, ‘oh cool, so it’s basically a one-on-one shooting game set in space’. I’d only seen a few screenshots depicting a couple of wacky-looking characters and a projectile moving between them. Each selected character has a varying degree of four meters: Power, Speed, Attack Range and Attack Speed.Going into Ultra Space Battle Brawl (which I’ll be abbreviating to USBB going forward), I honestly didn’t know what to expect. Ultra Space Battle Brawl has ten different characters, not counting the boss of the game, Raden. These art assets also include guest art, which are credited to their respective artists. Beating the story additionally unlocks art in the game's gallery. In this mode, stages are decided in a best of three rounds. There are two different difficulty settings for the campaign: Normal and Ultra. Additionally, this final planet also has floating rocks that bounce around and break into bits when struck, like in Asteroids. The final encounter is always set on a planet against Raden, who has the Jack of all Trades Ultra, meaning they can perform a random Ultra whenever their meter is full. The last stages also change the normal 1v1 dynamic, such as having to fight two different enemies at once. Raden, the boss, with their Jack of all Trades Ultra. If all twenty targets are hit, the player is rewarded by having a full Ultra meter at the start of the next round. The third round of the story is always a small bonus stage where players have to hit a series of twenty chicks as they appear on screen and before they disappear. Some playing fields displace the crystal or increase its size, others have multiple crystals. Each stage alters the way the crystals and chicks are set up. Each stage in the story mode is set on one of the planets of our solar system. Beating the game also reveals another story bit, similar to games like Street Fighter II. There are two main modes in Ultra Space Battle Brawl, a simple versus mode with a few options for variance, along with a campaign that provides some small lore for the selected character at the start. Campaign Donna, seen as a elite socialite. Some attacks are offensive in nature, providing more attack power, while other Ultra abilities will alter the playing field, such as creating a force field that traps the ball or launching a swarm of flies that halts momentum. Each character has their own special version of an Ultra ability that has different effects. Underneath this health bar is an Ultra meter, which can be activated once it's full. Crystals are surrounded by chicks, which have to be hit with the ball to remove the chick and open spots in the enemy's defense. This crystal integrity is measured in a health bar on top of the screen, much like in traditional fighting games. If the crystal shatters, the round goes to the person who broke it. The difference here is that each side tries to protect a crystal, which can only take a select amount of hits before breaking. Players start on opposite sides of the screen, trying to tap a ball over to the opponent. Ultra Space Battle Brawl is an arcade game with mostly one player versus one player (1v1) dynamics, heavily inspired by the classic game, Pong.
