Brawl Stars is one of the most entertaining games currently available on smartphones.

It’s highly polished, but somehow lacks the heady compulsion that typified the early days of Clash Royale or Boom Beach, with rounds feeling less fun and exciting than the colourful cartoon characters that participate in them.

Brawl Stars will certainly be able to entertain a large audience, but the game formula still needs some improvement, perhaps with a good support from the development team through updates and PvE challenges.

If I had to judge solely on the gameplay, the variety of brawlers, maps, modes.. I would have easily given it a 10/10.
The game has the luxury of having fairly deep gameplay, while still remaining genuinely very accessible for beginners, which is VERY rare!HOWEVER, you can't talk about a Supercell game without mentioning.. Supercell.
Inevitably, they just had to put their two cents in: a game with super slow progression, that indirectly forces you to spend indecent amounts on microtransactions if you want to be able to max out a diverse pool of brawlers, with a meta that changes too fast, through completely disproportionate nerfs/buffs, not to mention new brawlers that are always completely broken (intentionally).
Even in ranked, the competitive mode, brawlers are not maxed out by default, it's up to you to max your brawlers.. a very predatory game, I'm telling you, that's Supercell for you. If you plan to play casually, or without serious competitive ambitions, I think you can still enjoy the game without touching your wallet and have a great time. On the other hand, for your own good, I'd advise you not to play brawlers that aren't maxed, and if possible, play with friends.. otherwise, you'll be at risk to just suffer..

The game is fun, the gameplay is good and there’re a lot of brawlers. I think it’s the best Supercell game. The meta is good. Game modes are good too and the new shop is great. You can have a lot of friends and the clubs are great. This is a VERY good game

Brawl Stars is not only available on iOS. It is most definitely available on android. This has to be updated. Anyways, this is the best supercell game made by far.

Brawl Stars is a nice surprise for all the Supercell fans out there: a solid twin stick shooter with a competitive soul, four nice game modes and a set of beautiful characters to unlock and upgrade.

Supercell is very good at making their derivative games look good and original, but they need to start doing more than that.

It works impressively well: Movement and aiming both feel spot-on, and there’s essentially no learning curve to contend with.

bad community, but the game it's funny, except for edgar, but it's a lot far away from the terrible balance of clash royale, even if I prefer clash royale.

Brawl Stars has potential... yet the game suffers from issues like poor management & decision making, repetitive copy-paste events, and attempts to attract a certain younger demographic while ignoring veteran and competitive players. The game becomes boring after a while and the recent updates (especially the records update) straight up made people leave the game completely. I think that with enough care Brawl Stars can be a great game... but if Supercell continues to go a path like this, the game will lose most of its loyal playerbase.
