Developed by Blue Mammoth Games, Brawhalla is a free-to-play fighting game in the vein of Super Smash Bros. As such, the goal of the game is for players to knock their opponents off the stage. Brawlhalla supports both local and online play with players being able to compete and climb through the rankings. It’s not all 1-on-1 fights, as Brawlhalla offers other casual modes that include:
- Free-For-All
- A chaotic mode where four players knock each other out to gain points
- 1v1 Strikeout
- A mode where players pick three characters which they play with one stock each
- Experimental 1v1
- Allows players to test out upcoming features against each other.
Players can also create and host custom games that can support up to eight players per game.
One great feature of Brawlhalla is the simple controls along with one-button special moves. Controls include movement keys as well as buttons for attacking. The buttons also allow players to perform special moves, pick up weapons, throw weapons, and dodge. As a result, even new players can pick up the game quickly.
