Brawl Stars is a freemium multiplayer mobile arena fighter/party brawler/shoot 'em up/strategy mobile video game developed and published by Supercell.[6]

One of the main features of Brawl Stars is its reward system. Players can earn multiple types of achievements depending on the game mode. In Brawl Stars, players are ranked by their level and total trophies. Players collect brawlers and select one to use in each game. Brawl Boxes, which are loot chests containing coins, brawlers, and Power Points (used to level up brawlers), can be obtained with Tokens earned by playing matches. Big Boxes can be obtained by using gems or 10 Star tokens, which can be earned by winning the first match in a map. At the end of a season, brawlers with more than 500 trophies lose half of their trophies above 500. The total trophies of the player are not reduced, however. Players can join clubs to play alongside other players. Players can also create their own club for free. There is a trophy road in which players get rewards with succession in trophies.

Gameplay

Brawl Stars is centered on shooting other players or, in some cases, AI opponents, to bring down their health and defeat them. Players can choose between several brawlers, each with their own main attacks and Super attacks, ranging from shotgun attacks (such as Shelly's) to pistol attacks (such as Colt's). Main attacks reload over time, and supers charge by attacking others and are often more powerful. Each brawler also has an unlockable passive ability called a Star Power that can be found in Brawl Boxes (the game's loot chests) or the in-game shop once the brawler is at maximum level. In the Summer Brawl Talk released on June 25, 2019, additional Star Powers were announced, with three new star powers each week from the following update after the announcement for nine weeks.[7]

Brawl Stars provides seven non-ticketed events (Bounty, Brawl Ball, Gem Grab, Heist, Showdown (Duo and Solo), Siege) and three ticketed events (Robo Rumble, Boss Fight, Big Game), totaling to 9 unique game modes.[8] With event modifiers, which introduce special mechanics to Showdown, it creates a variety of ways the Showdown game mode can be played.[9]
