I like playing these brawlers with my 7 year old daughter . We've beaten Castle Crashers and Streets of Rage 4. We've also beat Minecraft dungeons. She's a chip off the old gaming block lol
This game was pretty good. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I got the platinum last night(just took me 2 days) playing solo and on Hard mode. It wasn't that difficult. Since this has a dash(unlike some other brawlers), it really helps with enemies with ranged attacks. Just dash over to them immediately and take them out first. That's how I always play my brawlers.
@@IDreamofIndie No doubt, man. Also, the addition of a "block" button was a plus. There aren't that many brawlers that have one. So that made the bosses a lot easier. I was like you, I forgot there was one.
What I found most frustrating about it is that some of the enemies just ignore being in hit stun and will grab you out of an attack or suddenly hit back. The gun enemies being at opposite ends of the screen can be frustrating as well. It turns into Golden Axe eventually and you find yourself just dash attacking from end to end of the screen. I agree with you on the difficulty ramping up from the 6th stage.
People talk as if there was only Streets of Rage to get influence from. Mayhem Brawler is deeply Final Fight too. Especially the character Dolphin has 100% influence from Haggar from Final Fight, even the same moves. Really don’t know why people ignore Final Fight and privilege Streets of Rage when the first one is best
A year back i think they said something that a company want to remake night slashers i do hope this is some kind of a start because of the enemies etc looks like allot of those monsters that game had! The thing this needed though was a little blood because it is with monsters and stuff! 🤔 Nice review really enjoyed it i will buy it i think!
I wait for the spiritual heir to the Battletoads - Arnold Bounty Hunter. There is a demo in Steam - quite cool, and the characters are charismatic, especially a girl with a katana.
Can’t wait to purchase Mayhem Brawler, for it’s looking good. But that’s weird for it didn’t said that it’s published for PS4 for I looked it up on psn but nowhere in sight.
This does look really neat, even if I don’t play a lot of brawlers (Super Crush KO and Streets of Rage 4 are the only ones I really play). But it’s a shame that there is a big difficulty spike without it being balanced out. I know that would be very frustrating for me. I’ll consider it in the future. Thanks for the review.
Honestly; this game looks too generic and a lesser copy of the great brawlers we got recently. If this came out back in 2018; I would have scooped it out; due to a severe lack of brawlers. Now that we have e the greatest of Streets of Rage 4, River City Girls, The Take Over (Contact Kai, Double Dragon Neon, Rage n Fight; beatem up collections); this game looks way too mediocre. Even if fun; I rather just play SOR4 some more as I wait for TMNT Shredders Revenge.
Looks cool! It's just a shame in aping the 90s vibes, they also sexualised the women unnecessarily (boob socks, nudity, boob and butt poses, lingerie on one of the enemy designs). Thanks for the review!
I'm glad Streets of Rage is influencing the industry again. We need more beat-em-ups, and you can't go wrong with the comic-book style.
Yeah it's really awesome to see brawlers come back in a big way! I love the genre so much.
@@IDreamofIndie same! Can't wait for Dotemu's TMNT! Looks amazing!
Oh yeah we are super stoked to play that game. Can't tell you how long overdue that is!
@@IDreamofIndie oh I know! Hyperstone Heist was the first game I got for my Genesis. I've been waiting for a sequel for 25 years!
Thanks. I need to finish The Takeover fiirst. But I first need to put down SOR4 dlc!!

Haha that's wonderful! These games are awesome at bringing people together.
Power ranges, and Luigi's mansion are also both good to play with kids that age,my daughter loved Luigi's mansion.
This has one thing SOR4 doesn't: branching paths. Looks quite fun. I hope they update it with more playable characters.
Yeah same would be cool to get some more characters and I also really liked the branching paths!

Brawlers aren't my thing, but I love the 90's comic influence visually.
It's awesome and the artists did a great job with it here.
I love all these styles of games, bringing it back to the roots of fun

This is my next Switch game that's forsure!!! Great review Joe
That's awesome man enjoy the game and appreciate you as always.
Gonna have to pick this up! That looks so cool.
Nice! It is a really fun little brawler that is worth your time.
I like this game and I beat it one day one, and I’ll soon play again as it has multiple endings, but it is so hard not to take any damage lol
Haha it is!

It looks graphically cool. The humor was not exactly to my liking. Once I've been playing Streets of Rage 4, I may need to check this out.
Certainly worth a look! It was clear to me that they caught a few of the missteps in SOR4 and tried to correct them with some success!
@@IDreamofIndie Cool. :)
I wait for the spiritual heir to the Battletoads - Arnold Bounty Hunter. There is a demo in Steam - quite cool, and the characters are charismatic, especially a girl with a katana.
I'll have to check this one out as a Battletoads fan!
i am finishing survival on sor4 , time to try this new game!
Nice enjoy!!
Planning on buying this and River city girls 2 I saw alley witch was made playable a few months aback and I was like ok hello main 🎉
Can’t Wait to get Mayhem Brawler and TMNT Shedders Revenge
Awesome!!
yesss, TMNT my most wanted game for now
Don't sleep on Fight N Rage buddy. That and SOR 4 is my favorite of the modern beat em ups.
This is coming out on ps5 on Jan 12th, I'm picking this up immediately!!!
What was that old timey 311 lyric?
OH YEAH!
"Come original, you got to come original, ALL ENTERTAINERS come original"
Dang is that song now considered old timey? Making us feel old!
Physical ? ..i wish reviewers would mention if it has a physical version or if one is in the works .
Have not heard anything on a physical release for this one just yet. Hopefully the game can do well enough where this happens for fans of that!
New intro is cool! ;)
Glad you like it short and to the point to keep things flowing.
Will this game have future updates like free content or characters?
Can’t wait to purchase Mayhem Brawler, for it’s looking good. But that’s weird for it didn’t said that it’s published for PS4 for I looked it up on psn but nowhere in sight.
Sony probably just hasn't updated yet they are generally a bit behind the others in doing so.
@@IDreamofIndie I see. I’ll check when I get back from a busy day.
@@IDreamofIndie Found it not only on PS4 but on Xbox one. And the game is fun just as I thought.
❤❤❤❤

No problem this is a cool brawler worth checking out!
I love the art style! This game looks like a blast and I can't wait to play it!
Had a blast with this fun brawler!!
Doesnt get that he can block and complains about difficulty..... my favourite kinds of reviewers and gamers!
Thanks so much for supporting the channel with an engagement/comment!
this game is a beauty but Rage 4 has ruined all beat em ups for me, its so good
It's a great game and I'm glad this one can exist too!
TRy Fight N Rage. ANother great brawler. I'm always going back and forth between that and SOR 4 as my favorite of the newer brawlers.
@@LittleBigKid707b thankyou that one looks like my speed! very cool
I keep going back to sor4, again and again and again...
@@PROTEGEtheRAPPER Turtles is now a close 2nd!
Buying today! Looks good
Awesome! Enjoy the game Cam!
Enjoying it! Movement feels kinda stiff at times but otherwise it's great
I prefer something a bit more brutal like mother Russia bleeds, but it looks cool
This one isn't super violent like that and you won't be injecting drugs, but fun nonetheless haha
I’m disappointed that Mayhem Brawler isn’t in Gamepass
Maybe eventually!
Amazing game
It is good to hear that you enjoyed the game as much as I did!
Need SOR music when kicking ass! The music for me is a bit of a turn off
It's not terrible but it is a bit mixed. Definitely not Koshiro quality here
@@IDreamofIndie agreed I bought the game to support the indie team but still heading back to survival mode in SOR4
I just got this game and i like it i hope it gets some patches but i like it for what it is so far
Nice glad to hear that you are digging it so far!!
@@IDreamofIndie im 33 and i recognize all the refrences...just dont go into it thinking streets of rage and youll like it
Yeah in that same age range haha
nice...looks cool. cant wait for the next TMNT game, my most wanted this year!
Same friend I am so excited to finally play that game!

Fair enough!
I will pass on this game no online co op
Totally fair but thank you for checking out the video!
THIS GAME WOULD BE BETTER WITHOUT THE HASHTAG CRINGE.
Looks cool! It's just a shame in aping the 90s vibes, they also sexualised the women unnecessarily (boob socks, nudity, boob and butt poses, lingerie on one of the enemy designs). Thanks for the review!
No problem at all thanks for checking it out!
No offense but viewpoints like yours are ruining western female character designs in the comics and gaming industry.
@@rugalheidbernstein9944 people are too touchy what's wrong with a sexy woman
Shut up dude..
do you think it's sexist when games or movies show bare chested, shaved oiled up muscly barbarian types wearing just a loincloth?
Any idea if it on console yet (ps4 here) looks good and love sof4 so i will more than likely love this aswell
Yes it is!
@@IDreamofIndie Awesome i might get it tomorrow i am getting the DLC for SOR4 at midnight as well, only 11 hours to go lol
Streets of rage 4 is far more superior - this game looks a little off
I think that's a fair opinion but I still thought this was a really fun game.
