A new animated trailer for Bounty Battle has dropped along with pre-orders for the all-star fighter that's branding itself the 'Ultimate Indie Brawler'.
Coming from Dark Screen Games (with publisher Merge Games handling the Switch version), the trailer above shows fighters from some of the finest indie games across all platforms assembling for some good old fashioned local 1-4 player scrapping (the developer will be looking into potential online multiplayer post-launch).
The game is coming on 10th September, with heroes from indie titles such as Guacamelee!, Dead Cells, Darkest Dungeon and plenty more rubbing shoulders in levels inspired by the fighters' native games. Here's a list of all the games that are sending their best and brawliest to the Bounty Battle, followed by some pics of the 30-strong roster:
Characters - Bounty Battle showcases your favorite characters from these beloved indie games - Guacamelee!, Darkest Dungeon, Dead Cells, Awesomenauts, Nuclear Throne, Owlboy, Axiom Verge, SteamWorld Dig, Oddmar, Jotun, Battle Chasers Nightwar, Death's Gambit, EITR, Super Comboman, Pankapu, Flinthook, Doko Roko, Tower of Samsara, Blubber Busters, Ruin of the Reckless, The Bug Butcher, and Blocks that Matter
The game launches digitally on the 10th September at £19.99/ €24.99/ $24.99, although pre-orders on the Nintendo eShop from today (3rd September) will include a 20% discount.

We recently spoke to Francois Von Orelli from Dark Screen Games about the challenges of wrangling all these indie heroes into a single brawler - look out for the interview over the weekend. In the meantime, let us know your thoughts on the new trailer.

I'll reserve my opinion until I see actual gameplay.
Seeing some favourite indie characters in here is cool, but it doesn't mean anything if the gameplay isn't serviceable.
Indie characters have made cameos and crossovers in each other games plenty of times now, after all.
I'm not sure about this. I'd probably only play as the Dead Cells guy. I'll hold off on this for now.
That's pretty amped up!!
Though I'm still not sure what to make of the relatively small bites of in-game footage I have been served. :V
Neat. Hope it does well!
It would be cool if the HL drifter, Hornet and Hollow Knight made the roster. Still my fav indie games.
dont know when i'm going to get this now.
Always thought an Indie Smash Bros would be really fun! Hope they eventually add Kayra from Remnants of Naezith, my favorite indie character
Hm, surprised Shovel Knight isn't in the roster...
"the developer will be looking into potential online multiplayer post-launch"
Then the customers will be looking into potential purchasing post-launch, but not before.
Put some people from any supergiant games product in here, and I'll buy it.
