"There&s;s plenty to like about Mayhem Brawler. The setting is unique among games in the genre, and the mechanics work well with the combat system thanks to its fluidity and diversity. The main campaign may be short and the unlockables …"

"The exploration aspect is fun, the three characters are accessible but different enough to make each of them interesting on their own merits, and there are different endings to find out. Mayhem Brawler could only benefit from an online multiplayer …"

"Mayhem Brawler is an enjoyable scrolling beat &s;em up with a neat theme behind it that fully embraces the 90s design of the genre while throwing in some modern visuals to give it that grungy, dark comic book vibe."

"Mayhem Brawler is hands down the most fun I’ve had with a beat-’em-up since Streets of Rage 4. With its gorgeous graphics, satisfying combat, and plenty of replayability, it’s a slugfest that will keep you coming back for more. While …"

"Mayhem Brawler is a top-notch beat-em-up that delivers far more variety and fun than most entries in the genre."

"‎Mayhem Brawler is the typical "Me vs. the Neighborhood" game, and as such, it&s;s made in an almost perfect way and meets market standards. The artistic section is very well treated and performs very high if we compare it with …"

"The comic book aspect and way that the whole thing is framed is spectacular, sadly the gameplay and longevity, less so."

"Mayhem Brawler is way, way better than it has any right to be. It looks good, plays nicely and only really suffers by comparison to its bigger brothers such as Fight&s;N Rage and Double Dragon Neon. The animation is lacking …"

"Even with the little pathing issues, and text overlaps Mayhem Brawler is an absolute joy to play, wither in single player or in 3 player co-op. The eclectic cast of characters, the grungy yet colorful setting and the bass thumping, …"
