The review

Three-minute hero shooter rounds built for Brazil’s favorite gaming habit: playing everywhere, all the time. Showdown solos fill the queue on school breaks while Gem Grab demands actual team composition from randoms. With a huge Brazilian player base and creators covering every balance patch, our brawler-by-brawler tier sheet matches gadgets, star powers and maps to the roles your trio is missing.

Who it is for

If your time is short, Brawl Stars works in Multi-player sessions. Our 8.2 score is built around exactly that: visible progress before the game asks for money.

Meta risks

Titles in Shooter tend to move after a major patch. We re-open Brawl Stars on every update and the score can rise or fall; this sheet is dated 2018.

Three tips before you start

  1. Run the reflex testThe snake above shows how fast your device responds before you install the real thing.
  2. Check cost per sessionThe real-cost bar shows what it takes to compete, not just to start.
  3. Come back after the patchWe re-open the score after each balance patch, so the position can move.

Quick answers on Brawl Stars

Is it still worth it in 2018?

Our current score is 8.2 out of 10. The criteria are progression, cost and stability — not popularity.

Do I need to pay to play?

The Multi-player mode defines the base experience. The real-cost bar on this sheet shows what the game charges before you can compete on equal terms.

Can I test it without downloading?

Yes: the reflex cabinet above plays in the browser. That is our in-house take, not the original build.

Who made Brawl Stars?
