    If your are looking for a simple game to play with friends that is a lot of fun this is a great game for you! I've been watching this game since before it was on greenlight and I was lucky enought to play it before release because the dev is an awesome dude! Glad to see it finally hit steam. This game is one of those easy to learn, hard to master type games that just brings lots of fun...even if you lose. Buy it now! It a cheap great game totally work every penny!

    The video is finally here: https://youtu.be/fwTIULAVwrA To say it fair and square: Square Brawl has a great amount of content and variety for its price. The gameplay is simple yet great fun, especially when you gather around some people to play with. The particle effects look great and the music, while repetitive at times, fits the game pretty well. The game runs at a solid 60 fps and has some nice options for things like fisheye, screen shake and Antialiasing. Things like recoil on ranged…

    We are having trouble playing over 3 rounds before losing all controller connections and having to restart the game. some things i would like - Free aim toggle (rather than 45* steps) Being able to use the right stick to aim Jump on the analogue sticks so i never need to take hands off sticks visual cooldown timer (Little bars next to the score would do) Better spawn points - my friend kept getting spawned in mid air above nothing and dying instantly some indication of what a level looks…

    If Steam had a neutral rating, I would have given it to Square Brawl. Square Brawl is a decent local multiplayer game. The last time I played the game there were a couple of annoying bugs that kind of affected the game. Players would regularly spawn over pits killing them with no chance of saving themselves. Guns would also randomly start shooting even if I wasn't pressing any buttons. These bugs may have been fixed though and they don't ruin the game so they shouldn't be a reason not to…

    In this review, I am going to compare Square Brawl to Nidhogg. If you dont know what Nidhogg is, then look it up. First off, like Nidhogg, Square Brawl (SB) has graphics that are very... square. Unlike Nidhogg, however, SB takes advantage of its art style, and somehow makes it look beautiful. That, combined with the screen shaking and other interesting effects, make the game very pleasing to the eye. Also like Nidhogg, SB is an indie game. That means that only a few people are working on it,…

    This is a decent game works well for me. Fairly simple but it has a level editor granted mostly just blocks and a spinning bloc k that can kiill you. Graphics are simplistic has several weapons to choose from and can select 2 per player and has ai.

    I rarely leave reviews, but I was just surprised to see most the negative reviews being to do with bad controller support. I don't know what control pads these people are using, but I've had this game working in 4 player local player using a ps4 controller (DS4 software to use it with PC), my Xbone controller, a cheap Xbox replica controller and the Steam controller. All of which worked right out of the box so to speak, even the Steam controller, and anyone who's had the misfortune to use one…

    It feels like we're going the hipster way by choosing to praise "Square Brawl" out of all the big hitters that Landfall so consistently releases, but this is a very earnest review. We got this game a bit less than a decade ago. It wasn't a big hit, but it was surely a fun time. Simple at its core: choose two weapons (your strategy will drastically change depending on what you choose) and go brawl. It cuts to the chase and it delivers on what it promises: a thrilling battle that will have y'all…

    Looks fun at first but then you realize the game has many bugs and the ai is not the greatest, creating your own level was kinda hard trying to make it so they don't get stuck on every corner. Overall, if you have friends to play it get it but if not save your money.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b390AlBmy8A **Disclaimer: I was granted a key when requested from the developer for the purpose of making the above video** This game is deceptive. It seems simple and almost too minimalistic in its graphics, but in reality it's alot more fun than it should be. I went into it not knowing what to expect, and by the end of it I found myself wanting to get some people involved. So the game is straight forward. You get up to four players on a level, each one…

    Poor optimisation of controls (ex. controls won't work properly), and the game lags out a ton in the main menu even if you have a decent/fairly new computer. If you want gameplay similar to this, try out Stick Fight: The Game made by the same developers. The game offers much better gameplay and also supports online multiplayer. It seems as though this is the much-worse predecessor of SF:TG, so many of these optimisations are fixed in SF:TG. : /

    This game was only somewhat fun at best. Most weapons are overpowered and have one hit kills, while others are hard to aim and do little to no damage. It was hard enough to play in half speed and i can't imaging trying to follow normal. Had this game offered more than just one mode if different forms (i.e kill enemy, kill enemy with one life so on and so forth) i might have found it fun. Alas it did not, so I must give it a bad review.

    Square Brawl is quite a fun game. It is a simple yet fun concept which is sort of like a simplified version of Super Smash Bros. It has a good variety of weapons and maps and even an option to create your own levels! There are 4 main game modes and some conditions, I suppose that is how I'd call them, which give quite some variety to the game - things like double health, double speed, random weapons etc. You can play with bots, though the real fun comes when you play with a friend, either…

This game doesn't need a controller to play, but it is a good thing to have one or two on hand, it will definitely help. You aim by moving, so get used to that, it's an intersting concept used in some other games, but you will need to learn how to use recoil to keep you…

    Unplayable on the Steam Deck unlike other local multiplayer games of this style (Rounds and Stick Fight mainly). A resolution menu pops up when booting requiring you to undock the deck and press buttons via touchscreen. When you're in the game, multiple controllers control the menu selection (again, bad for party games of this style). When in game, the pause menu would regularly pop up (Couldn't figure out if it was us or the game). One controller will often control *everyone's* input including…

    This is good 4 player fun. Square Brawl is a sweet local co-op brawler with a simple art style. The idea of the game is to get points by killing your opponents. This is done through a number of cool weapons and the occasional enviornmental hazard. Underneath it's simple exterior lies a pretty intuitive movement system that manages to put itself ahead of the pack due to the way that jumping and climbing "hang". Rather than just falling your cube glides along through the air. There are many…
