What is Nouns Brawl?

Nouns Brawl is a free 3D fighting game you play in your browser. Pick one of 60 voxel Nouns and fight in best-of-rounds matches with combos, guard and parry, a super meter, glasses lasers, buddy calls and cinematic finishers.

Every Noun has four named signature moves, a signature power and a Divine ultimate, so each fighter plays differently. Take on Arcade with a story ending for every Noun, last as long as you can in Survival, win an eight-Noun Tournament or try the Daily Challenge.

You can fight a friend on the same keyboard, play online with a room code or Quick Match, and share a link that replays your best fight. Training mode shows hitboxes, and Combo Trials teach six combos for every Noun.
