A free party-fighter in the Smash mould, accessible and snappy, betting everything on multiplayer. The core is solid and the fights readable, but the monetisation and repetition eventually wear thin.

This platform-fighter bets on immediate accessibility: up to eight combatants pile in for a brawl where competition quickly tips into festive chaos, full of spectacular ring-outs and fleeting alliances. Being free-to-play makes it an easy playground to offer anyone. Designed mainly for online clashes, it gives its best locally or when you can gather the controllers, for short, hilarious and highly replayable rounds.

Is Brawlhalla still worth playing in 2026?

Brawlhalla has a rare asset today: it is free, with no pay-to-win content unbalancing the game. This Smash-like platform fighter leans on ring-outs, two weapons per character and immediate pick-up-and-play, while hiding genuine technical depth at high level. Its online community stays lively, ranked mode and tournaments included, which clearly extends its lifespan. Visually it lacks a little personality and its fifty-strong roster can feel samey. But as an accessible brawler to share without spending a cent, it keeps every bit of its purpose intact for newcomers and groups alike.
