The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it fast-paced and fun, particularly praising the customization options and variety of game modes. However, many criticize it for being repetitive, simplistic, and lacking depth, with complaints about incomplete mechanics and a lack of engaging content. Overall, while it offers a casual experience suitable for all ages, it may not hold long-term appeal due to its limited variety and underwhelming execution.
- “The gameplay is fast-paced and exciting, offering a variety of game modes and challenges.”
- “The gameplay and features are fantastic, and the disparate variety of characters and designs possible make the game very personal, customizable, and overall a super fun LEGO experience!”
- “The ability to create your own hero, complete with customizable weapons and power-ups, adds another layer of depth to the gameplay.”
- “The gameplay is kind of boring.”
- “Even with its different game modes (which again, will be randomly selected), the gameplay was not enough to keep me playing.”
- “[generic, lackluster and underwhelming gameplay; every character plays exactly the same; very limited move set; no character voices; confusing; tutorial explains very little; lacks excitement and intensity; entertaining features get old quick; very overpriced at $60]”

The graphics of the game are generally described as colorful and fun, appealing to its casual, family-friendly demographic. However, some reviewers express disappointment in the lack of realism and basic graphical options, especially considering its price point. Overall, while the visuals are charming and engaging, there is a desire for more depth and customization in the graphical presentation.
- “The character building and graphics are colorful and fun.”
- “Superb graphics, character customization, and very fast-paced gameplay.”
- “From the moment I started playing Lego Brawls, I was drawn in by its charming visuals and familiar Lego-themed levels.”
- “I get that this was originally an Apple Arcade game and is catered toward a casual, family-friendly demographic, but when you look at Brawlhalla (prepare for more comparisons), it's very disappointing.”
- “Lack of basic options such as keybindings and tap jump toggle, along with a lack of social features like basic usernames or text chat (definitely not done to hide the fact that this game has peaked at 33 players on Steam), and graphics not befitting of a £34 game.”
- “The graphics are not up to par with what I expected for a game at this price point.”

The game's story aspect is criticized for being minimal or nonexistent, with players expressing disappointment over the lack of a compelling narrative and the absence of a local co-op "story mode," which detracts from the overall experience, especially for family play.
- “Until I see great progress with the game itself and good changes, I'll be refunding this game and save you guys the trouble from my side of the story.”
- “Also, 'story mode' to unlock more packs is not available for local co-op... I mean, that's the whole thing of a LEGO party game - you play it with your kids, don't you?”
- “No story.”

The game is praised for its lack of microtransactions and loot boxes, offering a straightforward and charming experience. However, some users feel that despite its low price, the game is ultimately a cash grab and lacks engaging content, particularly criticizing the prevalence of online-only live service models in other games.
- “But it's a refreshingly simple game with tons of charm, no microtransactions or loot boxes. It runs great on deck, you get to build ridiculous fighters and call them ridiculous names, and as a Lego kid, I love it.”
- “It doesn't have microtransactions.”
- “All in all, this game was just made to be a massive cash grab. Even though I bought it for around 6 euros, I don't believe anyone should pay this much money for such a boring game.”
- “I hate online-only live service microtransactions.”

The game's optimization has been criticized for its poorly designed controls and menu navigation, which feel more suited for touch screens than PC. Additionally, performance issues on the Switch, a lack of strategic depth in combat, and inadequate matchmaking based on player rankings further detract from the overall experience. Overall, players feel that the game lacks sufficient content and replayability for its price.
- “Contains overly simplified controls, and navigating the menu was definitely designed for touch screens and was not at all optimized for PC.”
- “My only partial critique would be that while the game gives you a rank based on your performance, it doesn't matchmake based on those rankings, which means seasoned players and noobs will often end up in matches together.”
- “Performance on Switch is stuttery; for the price, there's not nearly enough content or replayability here.”

Additionally, the limited content and performance issues on the Switch further diminish the incentive to revisit the game. Overall, players feel that the experience does not justify its price.
