Lego Brawls is a fighting game developed and published by Lego Games in partnership with American studio Red Games Co., and is being distributed in physical format for consoles by Bandai Namco Entertainment.[5][6] LEGO Brawls was released for Apple Arcade on September 19, 2019, for iOS mobile devices,[7][8] macOS, and tvOS. LEGO Brawls was the first LEGO game for Apple Arcade.[9] The game was released for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on September 2, 2022.[2][3][10][11][12]
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.[13]
Lego Brawls allows the player to create their own "hero" to their liking with their own weapons and power-ups.[7] As the player plays, the player will be rewarded with mystery chests that contain either a cosmetic element or a combat element.[7] 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).
The collection of playable minifigure characters is based on recognizable Lego minifigures that have been released throughout Lego history either as part of Lego construction sets, as collectible minifigures or as part of one of the Lego themes. Minifigures are grouped into different types and include Classic Space, Pirates, Alien Conquest, Castle, Western, Ninjago, Hidden Side, Jurassic World, Vidiyo, and Monkie Kid.[14][15][16][17][18][19] "Event" themes are also available, such as a Halloween-themed "Brick or Treat" theme and Christmas-themed "Jingle Brawls" theme.[20][21] A new mode named "Base Race".[22]
