LEGO Brawls is simple fun that is best played together locally. Kids will enjoy the LEGO themed characters and environments (Ninjago, Monkie Kid, Jurassic World, Pirate, Western, Vidiyo, Hidden Side, Space, Castle, Alien Conquest) as they battle each other to victory via brick brawling!

Once the Lego charm expires, you’re left with a console game that requires a lot more of a financial investment than free-to-play titles that have significantly more content. And as such, Lego Brawls is stuck in a strange space where it can’t quite reach its intended audience.

It's not inconceivable that LEGO Brawls could turn into something fun one day. If it were beefed up with loads more content, along with more interesting and more dynamic fighters, it would definitely be a lot more interesting. But in this state, with so little content -- and with the content that is there being of such poor quality -- there's no way to classify LEGO Brawls as anything other than a massive disappointment.
LEGO Brawls Description
LEGO Brawls is a brawler with platform game elements, designed mainly for multiplayer action. It was developed by Red Games studio and published by LEGO Games.
Game mechanics
At first glance the gameplay in LEGO Brawls brings to mind the Super Smash Bros. series, popular on Nintendo platforms. The action takes place in multi-level arenas presented from the side. Depending on the selected mode, two teams (up to four players) or single players (each of whom fights for himself) face each other and try to eliminate opponents or take control over the arena.
Fights take place in a variety of locations characteristic for each LEGO series. You can find here, among others, a medieval castle, a pirate's cove, the Wild West and the marshy caves of LEGO Ninjago. In the arenas there are boxes containing various power-ups, such as healing items or weapons, which if used skillfully can tip the balance of victory on our side.
Before starting the game, it allows us to create our own warrior from scratch; we can decide on his appearance or preferred weapon, and thus - the fighting style. As we progress, we unlock a variety of cosmetic add-ons that allow us to better customize the character to our individual preferences.
Game modes
In LEGO Brawls you can play solo, but the game was designed with multiplayer mode for up to eight players in mind. The game also has cross-platform features.
Technical aspects
LEGO Brawls features colorful and eye-pleasing graphics, which in terms of quality and style do not differ from what we are used to from other LEGO projects.
