The early access phase of Brawlhalla is now over. The Free2Play fighting game in the style of Super Smash Bros. is now officially released for PC and PlayStation 4 and is available for everyone to play for free.
Since October 17, Brawlhalla has finally exited beta and has attracted over 7 million players so far. Currently, according to Steam, there are up to 8,000 concurrent players online brawling in the 2D fighting game.
Free “Super Smash Bros.” Alternative
Brawlhalla is reminiscent of Nintendo’s fighting game Super Smash Bros., as various heroes brawl on arena maps. The cool thing: The game uses a Free2Play model. It is therefore accessible for free to everyone and can be tried out immediately on Steam.
There are a total of 35 heroes, of which up to 6 are free to play each week. These free heroes rotate weekly, so there is plenty of variety. If a player particularly likes a hero, they can purchase it and add it permanently to their collection. Skins are available for a small fee, but are purely cosmetic.
This is the same model as in League of Legends.
Currently, there is also a package available for 20 Euros that includes all current and future heroes.
Fight with Your Team
Once you have chosen a champion, it’s time to jump into the action. In the arenas, up to 8 players can fight, either in teams or in a “free for all” mode. As in Super Smash Bros., items like swords or guns appear on the map after some time.
There is also a wide variety of game modes. Whether you play as a duo, four, or alone, there is something for everyone. Once you have warmed up a bit, you can compete in ranked modes and climb the leaderboard. There is even a training room where you can practice combos and attacks.
Positive Reviews on Steam
If you take a look at the reviews on Steam, they are very positive.
Currently, there are about 46,000 positive and 7,000 negative reviews. Many players appreciate the fair Free2Play system. The friendly community is also frequently mentioned. Users also value the easy entry. In Brawlhalla, you dive straight into the action without needing to read the user manual first.
