Mayhem Brawler hitting the streets on all platforms, August 18!

Istanbul, May 25 – Mayhem Brawler is an urban fantasy themed beat ’em up that brings back the 90s arcade vibe to the present day. With comic book style art and kick-ass soundtracks, it offers a unique experience that you can tackle solo or as co-op with friends while defining the next step in the story with your choices.

TO PROTECT AND SERVE

While answering a routine call on a patrol, DolphinStar, and Trouble -the most popular officers of the super-powered law enforcement agency, Stronghold– find themselves in a sequence of events that will alter the fate of the entire city.

EXCESSIVE FORCE

Let’s get one thing straight; if you ever think that a day in the life of a super-powered law enforcer is easy, you couldn’t be more wrong, as there are greater threats than street gangs in urban fantasy themed Mayhem Brawler. Using your arsenal of combos and special abilities, you and your co-op teammates should make life miserable for those super-powered criminals, fend yourself from the fury of werewolves, resist the hexes of street wizards and confront the megacorp led by vampire houses that enforce their goons to do their dirty deeds.

THE MAYHEM UNIVERSE

Comic book inspired hand-drawn backgrounds and frame-by-frame animations coupled with a kick-ass soundtrack will deliver a jolt of adrenaline to your controller. With the choices you make, you will shape the flow of the story and finally reach one of the three different endings in Mayhem Brawler universe, where each corner has a story to tell.

EARLY PREVIEW!

Steam Next Fest event on June 16-22, and Xbox Summer Game Fest event on June 15-21, will feature Mayhem Brawler for an early preview. With the game’s complete full features, it will include 3 Stages with 2 of them being players’ choice.

With these new updates, the player base is growing even larger and it’s raining requests for features!
