Gameplay

Lego Brawls is a family-friendly platform fighter. Each LEGO themed level offers different game modes, unique challenges, and win conditions. During multiplayer online play, players can compete 4v4 to control the point, gather collectibles in Collect Mode levels, play a battle royale-style game, or have a free-for-brawl where the last player standing wins. In Party Mode, players can play private games with friends locally or online. With cross-platform support, players can team up and compete, regardless of their game system.

Lego Brawls allows the player to create their own "hero" to their liking with their own weapons and power-ups. As the player plays, the player will be rewarded with mystery chests that contain either a cosmetic element or a combat element. Mystery bags were later introduced that could also reward characters and weapons after playing a certain number of battles over three tiers, Common (3), Rare (5) and Epic (10).

Development

Lego Brawls was developed by Red Games.

Lego Games Vice President Sean William McEvoy said that the game was developed for families to enjoy: "Having grown up playing with Lego, we were inspired to make Lego Brawls something that families could play together. Apple Arcade is the perfect venue for this shared experience. Whether they're playing on iPhones in separate locations or sitting next to each other in front of an Apple TV, players of all ages can enjoy the fun of Lego Brawls anywhere at any time."

Metacritic listed Lego Brawls as the fifth-worst game of 2022. Lego Brawls has drawn comparisons to Nintendo's Super Smash Bros.. Multiplayer.
