Games Like Smash Bros for PC
Lethal League
With a 95 percent positive review rate from 2.7k users on Steam, Lethal League may be one of the coolest games like Smash Bros that you’ve never heard about.
On the surface, Lethal League looks like an experiment in Microsoft Paint, but there’s more to it than meets the eye. Not only is the art style unique, but the gameplay strays far away from the norm and involves hitting an anti-gravity ball into the face of your opponents. Where other fighting games feature alternative game modes that incorporate sports elements, Lethal League completely embraces it as the main course of their gameplay.
Described as a 2D projectile fighter, Lethal League plays like some type of Smash Bros baseball mashup. The game’s characters all have weird quirks to them. For example, Latch is a cyborg crocodile fit with a mechanic tail. Grid is a bodysuit-wearing criminal with two-pronged electrical plugs coming out of his knuckles. Candyman is a tap-dancer with a head that looks like a jawbreaker. It gets strange, but it’s awesome.
The hip-hop and house soundtrack really fits with the look and feel of the stages and characters. The game features tracks from artists like Dr. Lazer and Bignic, and while playing you’ll see radio elements in the lower UI.
Lethal League is easy to pick up but extremely hard to become great at. There’s a single-player challenge mode, GGPO multiplayer, and local play for up to four players.
You can pick up Lethal League on Steam for $13.99. Lethal League can be played on Windows (XP and higher), Mac OS X (Mavericks and higher), and Linux (Ubuntu 14.04 and higher). It’s also available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
