'Red Games,' a Santa Monica-based game development studio, announced the launch of 'LEGO Brawls,' a new multiplayer platformer set in the world of LEGO. The game blends action platformers with platform fighting games in a uniquely LEGO way. Players are able to customize their minifigure with different clothes, hair, and weapons, which can all be used to create a one-of-a-kind minifigure that matches each player's personality.
In LEGO Brawls, players will traverse through iconic LEGO-themed levels from fan-favorite LEGO properties such as LEGO NINJAGO, LEGO Jurassic World, and even popular LEGO sets, such as 'Space and Castle.' The game features a number of different modes, including control point, collect challenges, battle-royale, Party mode, and more.
LEGO Brawls is available now on all major consoles and PC via Steam, as well as on streaming devices through GeForce NOW.
