ZTGDTerrence JohnsonAug 20218.5/10Even with the little pathing issues, and text overlaps Mayhem Brawler is an absolute joy to play, wither in single player or in 3 player co-op. The eclectic cast of characters, the grungy yet colorful setting and the bass thumping, bad guy busting soundtrack really help to encapsulate that 90’s vibe the developers were going for, they have managed to not only make a solid side scrolling arcade game but they also delivered a fun and unique story at the same time.

Hardcore GamerJeremy PeeplesAug 20214/5Mayhem Brawler is a top-notch beat-em-up that delivers far more variety and fun than most entries in the genre.

Nintendo LifeStuart GippAug 20218/10Mayhem Brawler is way, way better than it has any right to be. It looks good, plays nicely and only really suffers by comparison to its bigger brothers such as Fight'N Rage and Double Dragon Neon. The animation is lacking compared to these titles, but it's still perfectly acceptable, and the slightly generic environments are too busy to really pay much attention to. With a world this interesting, we'd love to see another game take place in Mayhem Brawler's universe.

God is a GeekSean SmithAug 20215/10The comic book aspect and way that the whole thing is framed is spectacular, sadly the gameplay and longevity, less so.

PC InvasionAndrew FarrellAug 20216/10Visually-pleasing, but shallow and overly derivative. Far from a bad game, but there's nothing here to separate it from the pack.
