In Brawlhalla you win by knocking your opponent off the arena, as in Super Smash Bros. Depending on the mode, the last fighter with lives left wins, or the one with the most points. Every fighter has two weapon types and their own moves, and up to eight people can fight in one match.

Blue Mammoth Games first showed the game in 2014, and the full free release of Brawlhalla came in October 2017. In March 2018 Ubisoft bought the studio. At the time no fighting game on Steam was played more.

Rayman arrived with Ubisoft in November 2018, followed by fighters and skins from Assassin's Creed, Tomb Raider, Halo, WWE, Shrek and many other franchises.

By May 2023 100 million people had played Brawlhalla. One review found its design less tight than Super Smash Bros., while crediting it with a similar balance of accessibility and challenge. Players leave 79% positive out of 415,258 reviews; critics give it 68 on OpenCritic. By our Recommended Score it is #3,346 of 4,736 games.

Liked it? Try Rivals of Aether, where every fighter belongs to one of four elements, and TowerFall Ascension, where up to four archers on one screen pick up arrows and stomp on each other's heads.
