Growing up, I’ve played a lot of fighting games like Mortal Kombat, Tekken, Marvel vs. Capcom and so on. I haven’t had the chance to play brawl games like super smash bros early on but I’ve known of it. I never quite understood the fad around it until I started playing a brawl like game called Brawlhalla on the PC. The first ever brawl game on PC, mind you.
Brawlhalla was released on Steam in around 2016 and as I played it over the course of a few months, I realized the potential that this game has in the professional scene. I also realized the technicality and the high amount of skills you can posses in a brawl type game. It’s quite an intense game genre and I regret that I haven’t gotten in on the action early on with games like Super Smash Bros Brawl. And I was stunned to find out that Brawlhalla was the only brawl game on PC. I figured since Smash Bros was such a hit on Nintendo, there had to be a game that was in some way shape or form, resembling smash bros that some company made for the PC.
Brawlhalla is a free game on Steam that you can download now. It has in game purchases for character and weapons among other things. It’s a really fun game and it’s nice especially when I’m taking breaks when studying because games usually last only a few minutes. So it’s really nice to have games that are short yet satisfying.
