LEGO Brawls is a platform fighter with an emphasis on character customization and cosmetics.
Matches are free for alls with up to eight players. Objectives range from getting the most kills to controlling certain areas of the map. Themed stages like Jurassic World and Ninjago provide movement options and hazards to avoid. By destroying item boxes, players can earn special powerups like a mech, helicopter, or giant dinosaur.

Unlike other platform fighters, Brawls puts customization front and center. Players create their own characters by swapping between hundreds of different parts.
