Published by Blue Mammoth Games originally in 2014, Brawlhalla attracted many diehard fans owing to its excellent 2D action graphics, fast-paced matches, and many more features. After it was acquired by video game publisher Ubisoft, the players of Brawlhalla had reached a new level with two more characters added in. Today, let's have a detailed review of Brawlhalla together.

Gameplay

At first glance, Brawlhalla has clear user interfaces where eight main functions on the left and some game settings and news on the right. Let's start with these eight functions. Brawlhalla supports online and offline modes, and each mode has its related different casual queues. For example, in Online Play, players can choose from four modes, Free-for-All, Strikeout 1v1, Friendly 2v2, and Experimental 1v1. If you are a noob in Brawlhalla, we recommend you choose the Tutorials in the Offline Play. Other functions are waiting for you to explore.

The main goal in Brawlhalla is to defeat your opponents off the stage by damaging them repeatedly. And the last rank results are decided by your performance in the game, like strength, defense, dexterity, and speed. Thus, for a one-button-move game, good controls are very important. From the following pic, we can see the button on the left is to control directions, and the right one is to release kinds of skills including movement keys and buttons for performing special moves, attacking, picking up or throwing weapons, and dodging. Also, many weapons may drop from the sky from time to time, which sounds interesting.

Graphics

In my view, in Brawlhalla, a great art vibe and enjoyable graphics will create a strong immersion for players.

Whether from heroes to game backgrounds, Brawlhalla has an advantage in them by comparing to other games from the same genres. In terms of battlegrounds, Brawlhalla creates a floating stage where players need to be careful with their moves to avoid dropping accidentally. For some posters shown in the game, you can really feel its unique styles.

Characters and Legends

Nowadays, a total of 55 heroes have been added with unique customizations, skills, and cool skins. A part of the characters in Brawlhalla come from Ben 10, Tomb Raider, Steven Universe, WWE, and more. In the Custom Game Room, you can invent other players to join in your private or public room. The more matches you engage in, the more coins and characters you will get. By the way, each character has two weapons that can be picked up on the map for different playstyles during combats.

Conclusion

As one of the 2D action games, Brawlhalla has many advantages in so many aspects, from graphics to content. Brawlhalla may not be very suitable for relaxing for some people, because players need to concentrate on their characters. Of course, it depends on you. Without many in-app purchases, players can enjoy the game purely.
