    A fun and addictive beat 'em up, that aptly combines the simple gameplay of the classic titles of the genre with a modern approach. Shame about the lack of on-line co-op.

    There's plenty to like about Mayhem Brawler. The setting is unique among games in the genre, and the mechanics work well with the combat system thanks to its fluidity and diversity. The main campaign may be short and the unlockables list consists of one mode, but the three different endings and multiple campaign branches mean that there's more content to this game than originally believed. You'll have to rely on local friends for this one, but there's an absolutely good time to be had.

    It’s obvious that Mayhem Brawler’s developers love the genre and truly understand what makes it fun. Their game resembles Streets of Rage 4 a bit too much for my taste and sadly fails to reach its level of awesomeness, but it’s one of those beat ‘em ups that let you really feel the old school vibe – and that’s awesome.

    In a time where rival games are doing it better, it was always going to be difficult to rival Streets of Rage 4 without doing something exceptional. Mayhem Brawler is not that, but I am not sure it was ever trying to be. Instead, I think the developers wanted to give fans more decent beat ’em up action, which the developers have successfully done.

    This is far from a bad game, but it’s too generic to stick out for its presentation and too annoying to let its gameplay do the talking. If you just want a short beat ’em up to play with a friend, then there’s some amusement to be had here. But this is far from the best beat ’em up you can buy on PC.

Mayhem Brawler is the game that puts a lot of freshness for the genre, with branching paths, different ending,s and a whole new urban-fantasy setting that includes a ton of rogues gallery. Especially after the Air Supremacy update, with fun new mechanics, crazy combos, and new game modes, the devs obviously care about the game they've created and its fanbase. A game that lovers of the genre should NOT miss!… Expand

Old school polished classic Beat`em Up mechanics and nice visuals. Plus comic strips as storytelling with good voice acting. And I really like how on the background people talking on social media about police brutallity and justified violence and have different takes on it. It is simple enjoyable game. Nothing more but nothing less.… Expand

    A streets of rage clone but no where near as good as that classic. Bad characters and poor graphics make this one for the bargain bin. At theA streets of rage clone but no where near as good as that classic. Bad characters and poor graphics make this one for the bargain bin. At the very least, they could have improved on the animations but instead it looks like its running at 30 fps even on a top end gaming rig.
