Mayhem Brawler from Hero Concept is a great modern beat 'em up that feels like a comic book has been brought to life. It has fantastic visuals and music and fits perfectly amongst other modern brawlers like 99 Vidas, Fallen City Brawl, and Raging Justice. There is a good variety of characters to choose from, and they all feel unique to play as. A great feature is being able to choose different paths, with your choice affecting the story and different enemies appearing. The special moves and combat are easy to pick up but still feel rewarding. It is a great game overall, and I am definitely looking forward to the sequel.

A very pleasant surprise with a hit of nostalgia to the joystick days, a collourful and enjoyable cast to play The worldbuilding is also rather well done given the story itself isn't that long but it still managed to tell the story it wanted to and get me hyped for more!

Mayhem Brawler is a fun and stylish beat ’em up with smooth combat and vibrant comic book visuals. Made by a talented Turkish team, it’s a game I can genuinely feel proud of seeing on the global stage. While it doesn't particularly stand out, it still stands above the average in its genre. Overall Score: 7/10

Mayhem Brawler, developed and published by Hero Concept, is a modern side-scrolling beat-'em-up that taps into the nostalgia of '90s arcade brawlers while attempting to inject new life into the genre through stylized visuals, branching story paths, and a vibrant urban fantasy setting. At first glance, it’s easy to think of this as yet another homage to the classics like Final Fight or Streets of Rage, but Mayhem Brawler does just enough to forge its own identity—largely through its presentation and worldbuilding. Players take control of a team of superpowered officers from the Stronghold agency, navigating a city rife with supernatural threats, from street gangs and mutants to vampires and werewolves. The premise might sound over-the-top, and it is, but that’s part of the charm. This game wears its comic book inspiration proudly, both narratively and visually. The hand-drawn art style stands out immediately. Characters are bold, expressive, and full of attitude, with thick outlines, exaggerated animations, and vibrant color schemes that make every punch, kick, and special move feel weighty and dynamic. Cutscenes and level transitions are presented in comic book panels, reinforcing the superhero theme that the game leans into heavily. The soundtrack complements this energy with hard-hitting tracks that fuse rock, synth, and urban tones, keeping the adrenaline high during fights. Voice acting is minimal but well-placed, adding just enough character without slowing down the pace. The city feels alive, if not entirely cohesive, and the variety of stages—from downtown alleys and subway tunnels to nightclubs and secret labs—keeps things visually fresh, even if some level design tropes repeat. Combat is where Mayhem Brawler earns most of its credibility. The gameplay feels tight and responsive, with an accessible control scheme that supports strategic depth. Each character—Dolphin, Trouble, and Star—has their own unique stats, combos, and special abilities, catering to different playstyles. Dolphin is a tank, Star is quick and flashy, and Trouble hits that balanced middle ground. While it’s easy to mash buttons and get by on Normal, higher difficulties demand more deliberate tactics: blocking, crowd control, and well-timed specials become essential. Enemy variety is decent, featuring melee bruisers, ranged attackers, status-effect users, and more. Boss fights, while often entertaining, can sometimes drag due to bloated health bars and repetitive patterns, but most still manage to feel distinct. One of the most unique features in Mayhem Brawler is its branching narrative system. At key points in the campaign, you’re given choices that determine which path your team takes, leading to different stages, enemy encounters, and story outcomes. There are three different endings to unlock, encouraging multiple playthroughs. While the overall story isn’t particularly deep—this isn’t a game trying to deliver philosophical depth—it’s fun, self-aware, and elevated by its comic book flair. The dialogue has its cheesy moments, but they’re delivered with such earnest energy that it becomes part of the experience rather than a detraction. That said, players more interested in tight mechanical gameplay than narrative variety might find the story structure less impactful over time. Co-op is another highlight. Mayhem Brawler supports up to three players in local multiplayer, which adds a lot to the chaotic fun. Synergy between characters becomes more noticeable in group play, with players able to tag-team enemies and cover each other’s weaknesses. The game doesn’t feature online co-op, which may be a letdown for some, but for couch co-op fans, this is a throwback done right. That said, solo play is entirely viable, though it feels noticeably harder in the later stages where enemies gang up or where area control becomes crucial. Balancing, in general, can be uneven, with some enemies being frustratingly spammy or overpowered depending on your chosen route and difficulty setting. Technically, the game is solid. It runs smoothly on most setups, including Steam Deck, and load times are fast. Bugs are minimal, though some users have reported occasional hit detection quirks, especially in crowded scenes. The UI is functional but could be more intuitive in areas like character selection or skill explanation. The "Air Supremacy" update introduced aerial combos and enhanced combat mobility, which greatly improved depth and flow in fights, making juggling and creative combo-building more satisfying. Despite some of its shortcomings, Mayhem Brawler is an impressive addition to the modern beat-’em-up catalog. It may not surpass the genre’s elite, but it doesn’t have to. Its strengths lie in its unique setting, charismatic style, and the sheer fun of fighting through a world that embraces comic book absurdity without taking itself too seriously. It offers just enough choice and mechanical depth to warrant multiple playthroughs, especially for fans who appreciate offline co-op and superhero flair. For anyone looking for a fresh spin on classic beat-'em-up gameplay with a fantastical twist, Mayhem Brawler is well worth your time. Rating: 8/10
