Overview

Brawl Busters, "formerly known as Project Plan B", [2] is an action brawler that featured competitive and co-operative battle modes all in a third person view. "With its simple and intuitive controls, this easy to pick up and play game makes team strategy a must as players battle against each other or team up against computer controlled enemies". [3] Brawl Busters also features a tutorial, various missions, leaderboards and stats tracking. [3]

The game has received positive feedback since its initial announcement. [4] "Regular updates have been flowing to the game from the developers in the form of more game modes and additional maps." [5]

Lessons

Rock Hippo Productions had released a series of Brawl Busters lessons to familiarize players with the game. [4] The initial lessons showcased the five character classes. More lessons were planned in future updates, but they were never released. [6]

Character Classes

Brawl Busters features five different character classes, called Busters, including the Firefighter, the Rocker, the Boxer, the Blitzer, and the Slugger. The game offers seven maps and a wide variety of character customization options. [3]

Firefighter

Firefighter handles a fire hose to spray nearby opponents with a powerful blast of water. Slow-moving firefighters have a high HP rating and their secondary attack has the longest range in the game. Their special attack creates a temporary defensive barrier. [7]

Rocker

Rockers have a high movement rating and are great all-around combatants. They can either swing their guitar for deadly combos, or strike stunning musical chords for their secondary attack. The rocker's area of effect special attack clears out opponents in a flash. [8]

Boxer

Boxers are the fastest busters but also have the lowest HP rating. They use boxing gloves to throw powerful punches or charge at opponents fist-first as their secondary attack. The special attack is a wind-up punch which launches flaming gloves damaging opponents in front of a boxer. [9]

Blitzer

Blitzers, with the highest HP rating, are great at fighting multiple enemies. Armed with the football, they tackle their way through opponents or perform a touchdown move as the secondary attack. The special attack lunges them forward in a spin-move followed by a powerful slam. [10]

Slugger

Wielding a baseball bat, sluggers are effective long-range fighters. They can either swing wildly at their enemies or launch deadly guided baseballs as their secondary attack. A slugger's special attack, one of the strongest in the game, drives a super-charged baseball at the enemy team. [11]

Team and Versus Modes

Brawl Busters offers a Team and Versus Mode, which as of the 16th update was expanded to up to 16-player brawls.

Multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) is a subgenre of strategy video games in which two teams of players compete against each other on a predefined battlefield. Each player controls a single character with a set of distinctive abilities that improve over the course of a game and which contribute to the team's overall strategy. The typical ultimate objective is for each team to destroy their opponents' main structure, located at the opposite corner of the battlefield. In some MOBA games, the objective can be defeating every player on the enemy team. Players are assisted by computer-controlled units that periodically spawn in groups and march forward along set paths toward their enemy's base, which is heavily guarded by defensive structures. This type of multiplayer online video games originated as a subgenre of real-time strategy, though MOBA players usually do not construct buildings or units. Moreover, there are examples of MOBA games that are not considered real-time strategy games, such as Smite (2014), and Paragon. The genre is seen as a fusion of real-time strategy, role-playing and action games.
