http://www.brawlhalla.com/This is a game I have been testing since Thatch got added. Finally, today at 1:00 EST, everyone can play it. It's a smash bros. game with a few new mechanics that are fun to mess with.
-
Items Matter : Now, instead of there being a million items of varying brokenness, there are only four: Bouncy Bomb, Motion Bomb, Valkyrie Horn, and Weapon Capsule. All of these have a competitive purpose.
-
Unique Weapons : Each character has a unique set of interesting weapons. All of these weapons have Three "Signature" attacks that can be used like Special+Smash attacks.
-
Balanced Directional Airdodge : I must admit, I HATE wavedashes. However, Brawlhalla instead has a directional airdodge you can cancel if your timing is perfect.
So, how exactly is it free (to play)?
A character rotation system. Each week, you get a new roster of five playable characters. you can also permanently unlock your favorites by winning ranked matches, daily logins, and beating challenges. you CAN pay them (you can also pay for skins and taunts if you really want btw) but you really don't have to.
Any thoughts? I recommend messing with it the second open beta comes out, as it is a genuinely good and fun experience. (although there are a few balance issues with some characters so there's that.)
