LEGO Brawls
Are you ready to smash, bash, and thrash your way through some legendary LEGO themes in a bit of Minifigure mayhem? LEGO Brawls is the perfect bit of multiplayer fun for you and your crew. Team up with your friends and create your ultimate brick-built fighter. From a cactus with attitude to a ninja janitor, you can create whatever character your heart desires and then level it up with unlockable content.
As you all battle your way across classic LEGO worlds – from the swashbuckling shores of Baracuda Bay to the world of Ninjago – you and your friends can see how you rank against the rest of the world! Conquer the global leaderboards with your one-of-a-kind character and beat your mates to the top of the ladder. Whatever platform you all play on, crossplay will let you all join together for LEGO Brawls.

Plus, like all of our Refract Gaming PCs, the Crimson comes with three-years parts and labour warranty included as standard.
MultiVersus
Need to settle the debate of whether Bugs Bunny or Batman would win in a fight? Look no further than this brawler. With plenty of Warner Bros characters joining the fray since the open beta began, MultiVersus is a classic platform fighter in the crowd-pleasing Super Smash Bros tradition.
With franchises including Scooby-Doo and Adventure Time offering their characters and locations to the mix, MultiVersus has a lot to keep you entertained. There is an expansive local and online multiplayer, where you can choose from a whole host of different game modes. Create a dynamic duo for 2v2 co-op, duke it out to prove who’s the best in 1v1, or give in to the all-out chaos of 4-player free for all!

Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Stars Battle Royale R
Give us your best “ora ora ora”! Between five seasons of Stone Ocean on Netflix and this brawler combining all eight eras of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, we simply cannot get enough of this franchise right now. All Stars Battle Royale is a far more classic fighting game than other entries on this list. This throwback genre is the perfect accompaniment to this long-running anime.
With over 50 characters from every era of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, you can relive the greatest battles or put on never-before-seen fights. Have DIO throw a steamroller at Jotaro for old-time’s sake, or find out what happens when Kars takes on Kira and his Killer Queen. All realised in the striking and vibrant art style signature to this series.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge
Cowabunga dudes! It’s time for you and your friends to become heroes in a half-shell for this modern take on an arcade classic. TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge has all the style of the 1980s cartoon and gameplay of the legendary Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time. Like its predecessor, Shredder’s Revenge is a side-scrolling beat ‘em up game you can play with your friends. Only you won’t need to be sharing a sofa to do so!
Four players can still team up locally, but if you go online then six of you can get in on the action. That lets you take advantage of the full roster of playable characters. Each has different attributes, super moves, and taunts they can use as well as combo moves to pull off. Show those Foot Ninjas some turtle power!
