Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a slow, methodical combat system may find the momentum-focused pacing demanding
- Those wanting a single-character campaign or a small amount of content may not suit its six fighters and 50-plus events
- Players looking for a non-combat platformer may not fit a game built around brawling and alien-swarm battles
Our take on Speed Brawl
Rather than treating platforming as a route between fights, Speed Brawl makes movement part of the damage system. Momentum, pole swings, dodges, and rapid combinations form the central rhythm, while tag-team assists add a co-operative layer to the usual solo brawler structure.
What is Speed Brawl?
Speed Brawl is a platform beat ’em up set in an alternate-history blood sport involving captured alien swarms.
Combat centers on maintaining momentum, chaining attacks, dodging strikes, swinging from poles, and using special moves. Six brawlers offer different fighting styles, while a tag-team system adds assists during battles. Fighters can be customized with upgrades. The campaign contains more than 50 events across five leagues, with local and online co-operative play available throughout. The game also includes trophies and leaderboards. Players can repeat the action with faster movement and combat as they build combinations and increase damage through speed.
