If you grew up in our generation, then you will understand what Bomberman is – that cute game with the animated bomb-laying guy out to finish a seemingly endless number maze levels against similarly cartoon-y villains. It was actually lots of fun. So take that, and then mix it with a horrible slasher movie like “Saw” or “Friday the 13th” and that’s basically what BRAWL is – a fun take on the old maze classic, but very much an adult game for the violence.
The game comes exclusive for the NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet and the SHIELD Android TV console, so you can imagine that the graphics will be very, very detailed. The game is dark in its concept, just bearably balanced by the fun gameplay. It is probably the only game, for now, that has received an 18+ “Adults only” rating from the Google Play Store.
As a player, you get to pick one of eight available characters, each with their own back stories. You play through levels and mazes pretty much like Bomberman. The specialized skills on the different characters keep the game interesting. But when you move to the multiplayer mode, everything changes – there it becomes a MOBA-style game which can accommodate as many as 4 local players on a device, be it the SHIELD Tablet or the console. You get to use the special skills of your characters to beat the other ones on the map, probably resulting in countless hours of gaming.
If you bought for yourself a SHIELD Tablet or console, and you have the multiple controllers, then you probably won’t mind the game priced at USD$9.76. A bit pricey, but that’s the cost of multiplayer fun these days, especially on premium SHIELD devices. Pick up the game at the download link below. Remember, this is only for the NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet and SHIELD console.
