Verdict

VERDICT

Brawlhalla (English) - Gold Tier

Hello, gamers!

In the vibrant world of platform fighters, Brawlhalla stands tall as a gold-tier gem. Developed by Blue Mammoth Games, this 2D brawler offers an engaging experience that’s easy to pick up but deep enough to keep you hooked for hours.

With a diverse cast of over 50 unique characters, each boasting their own set of moves and combos, Brawlhalla ensures no two matches feel the same. The game’s fast-paced action is further enhanced by its dynamic stage hazards and power-ups scattered across the arena.

The game shines in both local and online multiplayer, with a variety of modes to suit every playstyle. From casual free-for-alls to ranked 1v1s, Brawlhalla delivers an enjoyable experience whether you’re playing alone or with friends.

However, it’s not all sunshine and roses. The game’s tutorial is somewhat lacking, leaving new players to figure out many mechanics on their own. Additionally, while the game is free-to-play, some cosmetic items can only be obtained through real money purchases, which might leave a sour taste in some players’ mouths.

Buy or Avoid?

If you’re looking for a fast-paced, engaging platform fighter with a wide variety of characters and modes, Brawlhalla is an excellent choice. Its free-to-play model also makes it an easy recommendation to try out. However, if you prefer a more guided experience or are sensitive to microtransactions, you might want to look elsewhere.

Happy gaming!
