Brawl Stars
Developer: Supercell | System: Android, iOS | Release Date: June 15, 2017 | Rating: 10 | Payment Model: Free2Play
What kind of game is this? Brawl Stars comes from the creators of the immensely successful Clash of Clans and offers you exciting PvP battles in 3v3 format, thus significantly differing from the last two titles on this list.
You control so-called “brawlers”. These are cute heroes with unique powers. There are gunslingers, ravens, bears, and little girls who beat each other up in the arena.
The game is controlled from a top-down perspective and you must actively attack and dodge if you want to survive the fights. Since a typical matchup only lasts about three minutes, Brawl Stars is ideal for short, exciting games in between.
To keep the arena brawling from becoming monotonous, there are various game modes in which you can compete. These include wild shootouts, battle royales, and modes where you have to protect a vault or collect jewels.
What do the reviews say?
- In the Google Play Store, Brawl Stars receives 4.2 stars from 22.4 million ratings
- In the App Store, Brawl Stars even receives 4.6 stars from over 500,000 ratings
The gameplay is particularly praised for being fun and crazy. Brawl Stars is not a game for hardcore players, but rather for those who enjoy colorful and chaotic action.
However, there is criticism regarding the rather weak matchmaking and the fact that you can only obtain the strongest brawlers with luck and sometimes with real money. Additionally, since the last update, there have been increasing complaints as players feel they are being pushed more and more towards the shop.
Where can I download it? You can get Brawl Stars in the Google Play Store or App Store.
Who should play it? If you are looking for short, fun battles with cute heroes, then you have probably found your game here.
Brawl Stars is also attractive to players who have a well-filled list of friends to play with. Because playing in a team with friends is supposed to be much more fun than playing with random players.
Furthermore, the game impresses with different modes, so it doesn’t get boring quickly. However, you need to invest some time to unlock new modes.
Brawl Stars is not just popular with gamers. In 2019, it also ranked among the most viewed games on YouTube.
