How versus works
Local or cross-platform online versus for up to eight players, including ranked 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3, casual free-for-all, and private rooms. Fighters damage and launch opponents from platform arenas, using character-specific weapons and recoveries to preserve their stocks.
About this game
Brawlhalla is a free-to-play platform fighter that pits up to 8 players against each other in fast-paced brawls, both online and on the same screen. With over sixty unique Legends to choose from, it leans heavily into competitive multiplayer, though cooperative modes are also available. The action draws clear inspiration from the platform-fighter genre, emphasizing movement, timing, and quick decision-making.

Players knock opponents off floating arenas using combos, weapons that spawn mid-match, and signature moves tied to each Legend. Matches escalate quickly when eight fighters share the same screen, turning every free-for-all into a test of positioning and reflexes. Ranked ladders, casual lobbies, and private rooms give groups flexibility in how they compete or team up.
Cross-platform matchmaking connects players across PC, consoles, and mobile, so finding a match is rarely a problem. Local play supports the same 8-player chaos on one screen, making it a solid pick for party sessions where everyone wants in on the action at once.
