**Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl ** was announced with a bombastic new trailer. The game is a platform fighter in the vein of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and features characters from across the Nickelodeon cartoon catalog. In total, there will be 20 different characters in the game, though the developers only showed off 14 of them in this initial onslaught. Alongside the character reveals, the team also gave fans a look at some of the stages they'll be playing Plot-wise, it's clear that Override: Mech City Brawl draws heavily from both classic monster movies and Japanese anime to tell its story. Players start by choosing their mech (of which there are 12 available at launch) and take that character on a globe-trotting adventure to defend different cities on different continents from monster attacks. The mode works by advancing weeks and days of in-game time and allowing players to choose their own missions, while every so often throwing in an important story mission that advances the plot forward. Each mission has a different difficulty level, though the prizes awarded are better the more difficult the miss There's also a stage set in a junkyard. Most likely, this stage from Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is related to Aaahh!!! Real Monsters . In that show, the monsters live in a junkyard, so this would be the perfect setting for them. The other option would be Hey Arnold! , as the look of the stage matches the look of that show. The trailer also shows off a graveyard stage that could be related to the Real Monsters or several other Nick properties like Invader Zim . There's also a stage set at a carnival that seems to be Glove World from Spongebob Squarepan This may sound rather bare-bones from a content standpoint at first but, for the relatively low price that Modus Games is asking for Override: Mech City Brawl Stars esports|https://brawlstarsfans.com/ , there's a surprisingly sufficient amount of fun to be had with the game. In fact, while the multiplayer will prove to be the biggest draw for Override: Mech City Brawl , its single-player campaign should not be discounted. It can perhaps a little repetitive at times, but there's a real sense of accomplishment from fighting off a hoard of monsters while trying to save the wo The first stage shown off for Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl seems to be related to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles . Though it could also just be a basic stage that's not related to any property. Each character is shown popping up on a rooftop location. In several shots, the characters are also battling across the stage, which means it will likely be playable. Next, is at least one stage based on Spongebob Squarepants . Early in the trailer, a few characters are fighting on a pirate ship. Later, the characters are fighting through the Jelly Fish Fields. It's tough to say, but this could be a single stage where the ship pops up in the middle of a battle. Either way, they're definitely straight from the Spongebob cart While many familiar Nick faces have been confirmed for the roster, the trailer hints there are still more that have not yet been announced. Publisher GameMill Entertainment, which also published Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 , hasn't stated who these other characters will be, but popular Nickelodeon franchises like Fairly Odd Parents were not featured in the trailer, so fans can likely expect Timmy Turner and other characters to join. Confirmed characters so far include fan favorites like Sandy Cheeks, Nigel Thornberry, Powdered Toast Man, and Rep The trailer shows off what looks to be a fun fighting experience for Nickelodeon fans of all ages, as well as those looking for something a little different from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate . The Nintendo fighter's community is one that continues to thrive, enjoying Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 's strong character roster and honed fighting game mechanics. Whether or not Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl will be able to compete with the Nintendo classic remains to be seen, but with the game launching later this year, players won't have long to w Overall, Override: Mech City Brawl is a worthy entry in the mech brawler genre and it more than earns its price tag with deep enough content and customization, a supremely fun multiplayer mode that proves that indie games can do it just as well as any AAA title, and a campaign mode that, while simple, will keep most entertained. If a fast-paced, giant robot smack down is what a player is looking for, this is the game for t If players do find themselves growing bored of the AI they can always find a friend or family member to play with in local multiplayer. On the Switch this is as easy as docking the system and each player grabbing a Joy-Con. Switching between single-player and multiplayer is simple, but the biggest downside is that there are only a couple of different characters to choose from. There are several more characters that the player does have access to, but they are locked behind microtransacti
