If there are two pop culture staples that have remained extremely popular throughout the world for the past 50 plus years, it's giant robots and giant monsters. From anime like Neon Genesis Evangelion (which will hit Netflix next year ) to Hollywood blockbusters like Transformers and Pacific Rim , there's just something about larger than life behemoths duking it out. Enter **Override: Mech City Brawl ** , a mech brawler game that puts players in giant mechanical robots and faces them off either against other players online (or locally) or against equally giant monst

What began as a normal July day suddenly got an unexpected surprise as Nickelodeon announced Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl _ out of the blue. No one was expecting Nickelodeon to so closely imitate Nintendo's ever-popular **_Super Smash Bros. ** series. And yet, from the look of the platform-like levels to the presentation of the individual fighters' move sets, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl very much appears to be Smash for Nickelodeon's brand of cartoons. Brawl Stars Tips|https://brawlstarsfans.com/ was even the title of the Wii's iteration for Super Smash Br

Powdered Toast Man is from The R en & Stimpy Show _ , one of the three original Nicktoons alongside _Rugrats and Doug . All three shows premiered on the same night in 1991. However, while Rugrats and Doug are notably wholesome shows in many respects, _Ren & Stimpy _ is the polar opposite. It proved both revolutionary and controversial, as many of its jokes challenged what adults thought was appropriate for kids. The show was also plagued with issues around its creator, John K, who was eventually fired (and Me Too-

The missions themselves are fairly straight forward in Override: Mech City Brawl 's campaign: fight the monsters until none are left standing. Again, there's a slight repetitious nature to this mode, but the game's customization options - from different mods that affect stats depending on what's equipped to various weapons that can be used against the monster threat - will keep things relatively fresh for hours. The story is just interesting enough, though not groundbreaking, that it'll more than likely hold the interest of most. Plus, like every other portion of Override: Mech City Brawl , the story can be played with a friend, though the campaign is seemingly limited to local p

Of the three initial Nicktoons, Ren & Stimpy _ had the shortest run and was cancelled in 1996, likely because of its multitude of controversies. _Ren & Stimpy _ had a short-lived, widely panned 2003 iteration on SpikeTV called _Ren & Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon _ which was, as the titled suggests, explicitly for adults. _Ren & Stimpy _ has a fascinating, yet troubled, history for a fascinating, troubled show. But its mark upon animation cannot be ignored, and it's readily apparent in shows like _SpongeBob SquarePants that have gotten games of their own. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Ren & Stimpy _ paved the way for adult cartoons like _Beavis and Butt-Head and South Park , eit

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 's stages appear to be set up very similar to Smash Bros. 's. Some even follow Smash Bros. 's tried-and-true format of large stage with three smaller platforms in a triangular arrangement overhead. Others appear to be built for optimum befuddlement - not unlike certain Smash Bros. stages . Plus, fighters appear to be able to knock each other off of these platforms, hang off the edge, or hit through higher o

Other than the new designs, Brawl Chess doesn't change the game of chess in any way whatsoever. Each of the pieces move in the exact same ways that they traditionally do, but there are a few ways that have made things simpler for newcomers. There are markers that appear every time the player selects a piece to show where it can be moved, which stops players from making an illegal move or from moving a piece when they should move their King instead. This basically means that players will spend less time keeping track of rules and more time playing which is always a good th

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

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 , 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
