The most explosive competitive arena game of the year has arrived on Steam! Battle it out in this heavily skilled-reliant bomb bonanza, controlling one of eight unique characters, each possessing their own deadly skillset that adds speed and tactical depth to the oldschool gameplay.

PlayStation LifeStyleMark LabbeApr 20158/10But then again, BRAWL isn't really about being easy. It is about forcing players to make strategic moves and plan accordingly, all while giving them a limited amount of time to do so. It's fast, it's smart, and it's absolutely worth picking up, especially if you dig party games. While it has some flaws, BRAWL is a game that will keep you occupied for quite a while. It also should be noted that PlayStation Network accounts that purchased Basement Crawl will be credited with BRAWL for free, giving you yet another excuse to download and play the game when it releases.
Gamers FTWMartin SegarraMay 20158.5/10Brawl has all the elements a Bomberman fan could possibly want: fun, addictive gameplay, a great multiplayer mode, and tons of unlockable stages and characters. It may suffer from some tone issues during the course of its story mode, and gameplay may end up feeling a bit repetitive, but this is some of the most fun you can have on the PS4 at the moment.

Cubed3Shane JuryJan 20188/10Applying a new aesthetic to the established gameplay formula of Konami's Bomberman series, BRAWL brings a unique darker feel and subtle mechanic changes, grouped together in a bundle of multiplayer goodness. There are only some frame-rate issues that hold it back slightly, and the lack of online play also proves to be a bit disappointing.

Nintendo LifeMatthew MasonJan 20184/10If you're interested in a horror-inspired Bomberman clone with shaky movement, non-distinct stages and a toned down freneticism BRAWL might just pique your interest. For the rest of you looking for a party/combat game there are other, more solid feeling, options out there including but not limited to Switch's own Super Bomberman R.

ZTGDDave PayerleMay 20154/10If you purchased the developer's 2014 game Basement Crawl you can download Brawl for free, but other than that it should be avoided.
