However, unlike other brawlers out there that have separate health bars for each character, the health bar here is shared among the combatants you control, meaning battles typically last no longer than thirty seconds on average. You’ll always (yes, that is a sweeping statement right there, because it is true) fight as a group of three, interchanging between characters with the short press of a button.
