Don’t Get Breakdanced!
by Bridger Berg

Interested? Was it the headline? Well, today the review is
of a game that is a spinoff. A spinoff, I think, that is better than the
original.
Brawlhalla is a game in closed beta released by Blue Mammoth
games, and is an authorized spinoff of the Super Smash Bros game. There are
many differences between the two, the foremost being that Brawlhalla is played
on a PC, which makes a difference in how the game is played (Keyboard rather
than Controller), and might be a turnoff for some people, but don’t give it up!
And without further yakking, let yourself be welcomed to…BRAWLHALLA!
The game is a Player VS Player focused game viewed from the
side, with up to four players controlling a different character each and
attempting to defeat the other players by knocking them off the side, bottom,
or even top of the arena they fight in. How? Different clicks and key combos
activate different attack skills, such as light attack, heavy attack, and
breakdance attack.
Also, items such as the bouncy bomb, spiked ball, and land
mine drop from the sky, which players can throw at each other to cause general
mayhem. Each time players are hit, they take damage, the more damage has been
dealt to a player, the more knockback they take, making it easier for opponents
to knock them off the edge of the arena.
The characters: There are quite a few, with new ones always
coming, but they include Vraxx the alien warlord, Scarlet the steampunk airship
captain, and Gnash the caveman. They all have different combos of damage,
speed, attack speed, armor, and different weapon combos.
Weapons?! Well, occasionally, an item drops from the sky,
and when players pick it up, they gain one of their two weapons. Scarlet, for
instance, has a Hammer and a Lance. These weapons are more powerful than basic
hand attacks, and all characters have different weapon sets and types of weapon
attacks.
Overall, Brawlhalla is a fast paced, fun, and cool game,
which I would recommend to, really, anyone! …Just don’t get breakdanced.
Seriously, its nasty. (Activate with heavy attack+down key)
