The missions themselves are fairly straight forward in Override: Mech City Brawl 's campaign: fight the monsters until none are left standing. Again, there's a slight repetitious nature to this mode, but the game's customization options - from different mods that affect stats depending on what's equipped to various weapons that can be used against the monster threat - will keep things relatively fresh for hours. The story is just interesting enough, though not groundbreaking, that it'll more than likely hold the interest of most. Plus, like every other portion of Override: Mech City Brawl , the story can be played with a friend, though the campaign is seemingly limited to local p
Plot-wise, it's clear that Override: Mech City Brawl draws heavily from both classic monster movies and Japanese anime to tell its story. Players start by choosing their mech (of which there are 12 available at launch) and take that character on a globe-trotting adventure to defend different cities on different continents from monster attacks. The mode works by advancing weeks and days of in-game time and allowing players to choose their own missions, while every so often throwing in an important story mission that advances the plot forward. Each mission has a different difficulty level, though the prizes awarded are better the more difficult the miss
If there are two pop culture staples that have remained extremely popular throughout the world for the past 50 plus years, it's giant robots and giant monsters. From anime like Neon Genesis Evangelion (which will hit Netflix next year ) to Hollywood blockbusters like Transformers and Pacific Rim , there's just something about larger than life behemoths duking it out. Enter **Override: Mech City Brawl ** , a mech brawler game that puts players in giant mechanical robots and faces them off either against other players online (or locally) or against equally giant monst
What began as a normal July day suddenly got an unexpected surprise as Nickelodeon announced Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl _ out of the blue. No one was expecting Nickelodeon to so closely imitate Nintendo's ever-popular **_Super Smash Bros. ** series. And yet, from the look of the platform-like levels to the presentation of the individual fighters' move sets, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl very much appears to be Smash for Nickelodeon's brand of cartoons. Brawl was even the title of the Wii's iteration for Super Smash Br
That’s just a stage, though. I mean, it would be weird to have Avatar stages and no Avatar characters, but it’s not necessarily impossible. Fortunately, the actual cover art for All-Star Brawl features at least two silhouettes that are unmistakably supposed to represent Avatar characters. I’ve circled Korra and Aang below, who can be distinguished by their braid and ear, respectively.
Korra’s braids are usually pretty thin, but if you watch an action sequence from the show you’ll see that her hair thickens in combat. Meanwhile, Aang’s bald head and distinctive ears separate his silhouette from those of pretty much every other Nickelodeon character ever created. As protagonists of some of Nick’s biggest shows, they’re natural shoo-ins for a game - especially a fighting game. Still, it’s refreshing to see some confirmation that we’ve got at least one Avatar stage and two Avatar characters. If they weren’t in All-Star Brawl, there’s no way in hell I’d have considered playing it. Now, though… Well, I might start playing Smash again so I can become an esports pro as a Korra main.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 's stages appear to be set up very similar to Smash Bros. 's. Some even follow Smash Bros. 's tried-and-true format of large stage with three smaller platforms in a triangular arrangement overhead. Others appear to be built for optimum befuddlement - not unlike certain Smash Bros. stages . Plus, fighters appear to be able to knock each other off of these platforms, hang off the edge, or hit through higher o
Overall, Override: Mech City Brawl is a worthy entry in the mech brawler genre and it more than earns its price tag with deep enough content and customization, a supremely fun multiplayer mode that proves that indie games can do it just as well as any AAA title, and a campaign mode that, while simple, will keep most entertained. If a fast-paced, giant robot smack down is what a player is looking for, Brawlstarsfans.Com this is the game for t
That's not the case for Override: Mech City Brawl 's competitive modes, which feature both local and online play. It's where where the game really shines. There's the typical one versus one mode, a Brawl mode with up to four players (either in free-for-all or teams) and ranked play. What makes these modes truly satisfying is the option to have up to four players controlling one bot. It's almost Voltron or Power Rangers -esque in its execution, allowing each of the players to control a limb on the mech. This requires a great deal of cooperation and timing, however, but it's arguably the most reward
