Brawlhalla

Top Pro

You're able to test your skills against others via a ranking system

Brawlhalla offers a ranked game option if you're into competitive play. In ranked games, each player has 3 lives and you battle until one player loses all of them. Every player has an ELO rating, essentially a number that shows your rank. Winning games will raise your ELO, while losing will lower it. Every player also has two other ratings: the Matchmaking Ratio (or MMR), which is hidden from everyone, and an ELO for the character they're playing. Your MatchMaking Ratio (MMR) is a secret number that determines what other players you'll be playing, and how quickly your ELO will rise or fall with victories and defeats. The ELO for the character your playing has a distinct effect on your MMR - a character you're not as good with will place you against lower ranked people than the character you're best with.

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Genre:Fighting

Co-Op:Online/Shared PvP

Top Pro

Completely free to play

Brawlhalla's developers have a strict "no pay to win" philosophy. There's an in-game store where you can buy things like alternate looks for your characters, new taunt and KO animations, etc., but there's no power-ups, no new mechanics, nothing that would give someone putting money into the game an edge.

Playing is addictive

Top Pro

Very rewarding gameplay

In game, some of the moves are completely over the top, and when you connect with them it's just so satisfying. There's not much quite like being deep into a game and pulling off a ridiculous combo that clinches the victory for you. On top of that, fighting games inherently have a lot of room for improvement, even for the top players in the world, and Brawlhalla is no exception. You can spend hours practicing your favorite characters and still want to get better. After spending all those hours practicing, it's great to put the beat down on an opponent in true Brawlhalla fashion. See More

Top Pro

The controls are very good

Controlling a character in Brawlhalla is great because everything is so responsive and just flows perfectly. Not only does this make performing combos and special moves easier, but it simply feels good to play. See More

Top Pro

Well balanced

Each patch (which happen really often) the devs fine tune each stat a bit more and balance all weapons and characters really well, since characters are so similar in most aspects they are also easier to balance See More

Intuitive mechanics allows the game to be an easy title for anyone to pick up and play

The mechanics of the game are quite easy to understand. This way anyone to wants to try it out will not have to deal with hours spent learning the game.

Gauntlet: Slayer Edition

Top Pro

Multiplayer isn't limited to pre-formed parties

Gauntlet has online lobbies for you to find your perfect party if you're an adventurer or two short. See More

Top Con

No true end-game

There's no overlying goal to the game other than completing the story, which is short. This is a game you get so you can go wreck people with some buddies, and let everything else fall to the wayside. See More

Top Pro

Unlimited playability

There's 3 difficulties. Easy, Normal, and Hell. Easy would be for the ultra-casual player, or perhaps a player that hasn't played something similar before. Normal is where you'll find most people, as it's challenging but not overly so. Hell mode is one you don't take too lightly, it's pretty ridiculously hard. On top of that, Gauntlet gets harder and harder every time you clear a map. You can play over 40 hours and still enjoy yourself. See More

Top Con

It can be a little grindy

Like most ARPGs, grinding for achievements can be get annoying. Luckily, achievements aren't why most people play ARPGs. See More

Top Pro

Fast-paced and action packed

It's a Gauntlet game. You go fast, you slaughter tons of enemies, and have to deal with the dangers of the opposing forces. There's environment effects, magic to watch out for, and loot to horde. See More

Top Pro

Not your typical hack and slash game

In Gauntlet, there are horrendous traps, hard boss fights, and even your own allies can pose a threat to you. It takes away from the mindless grinding See More

Top Pro

Great on a budget

Gauntlet is regularly on sale for as little as $5 on Steam. If you must have it now it'll cost you $20, but if you buy the 4 pack you'll save $20 that way. See More
