Step into the neon-lit chaos of Fallen City Brawl, where fists fly faster than reason and loyalty is forged in the heat of pixelated battle. This gritty side-scrolling beat ’em up throws you into a crumbling metropolis ruled by brute force and desperation. With a feral wolf at your side and a crew of unlikely allies, you’ll punch, kick, and RIOT your way through seven stages of pure arcade adrenaline. Inspired by the golden age of ’80s and ’90s brawlers, Fallen City Brawl doesn’t just pay homage, it grabs the genre by the collar and drags it into the modern era with style, swagger, and a soundtrack that slaps.

• You have a huge stable of attacks from grabs to throws to combos, special weapons and ultimates.
• Each character has unique attacks and an ultimate. 
• Does a cool zoom in when you lay down certain attacks, it’s a small thing, but it is impactful. 
• Combos not only feel good, but as you build it up, gems drop and collecting them powers up your ultimate, which has 3 levels with more gems needed. 
• Ultimate will trigger a badass 90s street cop film sequence as it plays out. 
• You can pick up and throw items and weapons. 
• Enemy health bars show as you attack them. 
• Lifebar system, and you pick up food to replenish it. 
• Proper 90s arcade feel and presentation from the music to in-game cutscenes and character interactions. 
• You can ground-pound enemies. 
• Breakable elements within the levels. 
• 2.5D game world that looks fantastic and varied. 
• You can freely move around the whole screen. 
• The game is set in 1989, but to me, it’s the ’90s action film vibe. 
• Big boss encounters. 
• It’s a game that is really easy to get into, and button mashers can still get enjoyment from it, along with those veterans of the genre. 
• Local co op play support. 
• The way and many ways that enemies come onto the screen are great; they fit what’s going on, and they don’t just appear. 
• You have a special attack you can do whenever you want, but it costs health to perform. 
• Many weapons to pick up amd use, and each playable character will have a starting weapon. 
• Enemies will bounce off the wall and sides of the screen, so you can use it to juggle them and get better combos. 
• End of stage breakdown of coins, time, and gems with a final score. 
• Levels get more adventurous, like walking in deep snow or rain-stricken streets. 
• Has high replayability if you love score chasing and leaderboards; otherwise, I have nothing for you. 

Fallen City Brawl Review Cons

• Bare minimum graphics options. 
• You cannot see what each character has in terms of moves and ultimate. 
• No online co op play. 
• The combat can be accused of being button-mash hell. 
• It can be hard at times to know when you are lined up to attack enemies. 
• The hit boxes can feel a bit off at times. 
• Many times, the cash that drops from enemies will go into places you can’t reach or sometimes see. 
• Fighting vehicle-based enemies is just more frustrating than anything. 
• Enemies can hit you from off the screen, which is not that fun. 
• Bosswa are massive damage sponges, and even the smaller enemies can be accused of that. 
• Over time, all the enemies play the same. 
• Lining up ground and pounds is a nightmare. 
• To quit a game, you have to pause, then go into options, then scroll to the bottom.
