Brawlhalla Beta Review

An enjoyable PC (soon to be on the PS4) brawler that embodies the thrill and excitement and creates a great game to play with friends both locally and online.

Pros:
- Great gameplay
- Expanding roster
- Good map selection
- Local co-op
- Native controller support
- Variety of game modes

Cons:
- Bots difficulty is to easy even on "Hard"

Graphics:
A visually beautiful game that has a great art style, with a great level of detail and polish. This is displayed from the character models to the map design.

Music: 

Each map has its own unique song associated to it, and fits the "theme" of the map as well.

Content:
Large roster that will continue to grow (had 3 new champions added in since I've been playing), nice amount of maps, various game modes for offline and custom, along with ranked and unranked online.

 

Gameplay:
An amazingly well crafted game that shows that an indie company can craft a great brawler to contend with the giants. The game runs smoothly at 60 FPS, rarely experience lag, and the online community is enjoyable. It can be deemed a more competitive game with the Ranked system that allows for Singles and Doubles matches to be played and you work your way up from Bronze up to Diamond.

Overall:
If you've been looking for a PC game that does have some influence from the larger games in the genre (i.e. Super Smash Bros.) I'd definitely suggest you give it a shot. It's free to play, but it does have a cash shop to buy champions, skins, and colors. They do have a similar package to SMITE in which you drop $20 you get all current and future characters that are released. So if you want a good competitive game that does have some influences from Super Smash Bros and don't want or have a Wii U, this is a GREAT alternative to pick up.
