About This Game


Brawlhalla: An eternal battle arena where the greatest warriors in history brawl to prove who's the best that ever was, is, or will be. Competitors from all eras slug it out in devious and challenging arenas. Every match is an epic test of skill, speed, and strength, and every victory brings added glory and bragging rights to the winners.

Clockwork VALKRIs salt these slugfests with powerful weapons and gadgets. Fighters scramble to grab swords, hammers, blasters, rocket lances and more! Every weapon changes your play style and your options. Gadgets like mines, bombs, and spiked spheres add even more danger into the mix, letting fighters change the course of battle with a well timed-throw or carefully laid trap.

Brawlhalla is a free to play, 2D platform fighting game featuring both online and local modes. When the final version launches it will include:
  • Online Team Brawl - The most popular format, two teams of up to four warriors face off in a frenetic, no holds barred brawl.
  • 4 Player Online Free for All - Ranked or casual matches where four fighters enter, but only one can win.
  • Local Free for All - Up to 4 players can play in free for all mode on one computer - perfect for friendly face-offs.
  • Local Custom Teams - Team-up on your local machine, by adding up to 4 bots into the mix for living-room level mayhem.

Brawlhalla Early Access is available now!

Awesome game with high replayability. Only gripe with this game is that it is sometimes easy to lose your character amidst all the action going on. Looking forward to what the developers come up with for this game, lots of potential!

This game is a lot like "Smash Brothers" meets 'League of Legends". This game has a great potential for an amazing ranked competitive matchmaking, while only offering cosmetics in the games cash shop for fans to buy cosmetics for their favorite brawlers. I'm happy to show support for this type of game in my community.

I have nothing bad to say about the game, get it, love it, play it and enjoy!

Early Access Review
Combat is similar to the SSB series, but since it's in beta there isn't quite as much variety and desync is common. However, the game looks promising enough especially since it isn't paid for access like most. It's very good, and the controls are tight. Full controller support is a huge plus.

This game is pretty legit. Like everybody else is saying, it's a lot like Smash Brothers. It has it's ups and downs, but overall, it's extremely fun.
Has tons of potential. Give it a shot. Sign up for the closed beta at it's own website, or buy the founder's pack.

10/10 would smash again

Early Access Review
A really good game, reminiscent of Super Smash Bros. though not as memorable.
The gameplay is very well done, however some moves have confusing hitboxes and some moves seem to be more of a hazard to the player than they should be. The lack of character diversity makes the battles confusing sometimes, but overall there is a lot of potential for this game.
