Get to Know About The Brawl 4: Gangnam Style
I don’t know about you, but I never thought I’d see a beat-’em-up mashup with K-pop fever until I stumbled onto The Brawl 4: Gangnam Style. Right from the opening menu, you’re hit with that instantly recognizable synth riff, and suddenly you’re ducking punches and throwing down combos in time with PSY’s signature dance moves. It’s goofy, sure, but it leans into the silliness with a wink—you’ll find yourself chuckling as your character moonwalks past stunned goons before dropping a shining hoof kick to clear a crowded street.
Gameplay is delightfully straightforward, yet it hides a surprising level of depth if you stick around to learn it. Standard punches and kicks are joined by “style points” accrued whenever you hit enemies on the beat, and rack enough of them up to unleash flashy group choreography that doubles as a screen-clearing super move. There are a handful of characters to pick from, each with unique stats—some are faster to rack up combo chains, while others punch harder and deliver those gorgeous slow-mo finishing poses. Solo or with a buddy, the rhythm-based scoring keeps you coming back to chase higher scores or discover secret route triggers in each stage.
Visually, the game is bright and bouncy. Think neon streetlamps, Tokyo Tower–style backdrops, and convenience stores that look like they’re about to start glowing. Enemies range from random street punks to disco-ball wielding rival dancers, all rendered in a whimsical, cartoon-infused style that never takes itself too seriously. And yes, there’s even a level set in a horse stable—because why not? The soundtrack loops the original track plus a handful of remixes, and honestly, it’s hard to complain when you’re in a boss fight and you can barely resist mimicking those famous “invisible horse” hand gestures.
All in all, if you’ve ever wanted to see a world where brawling and pop dancing collide, The Brawl 4: Gangnam Style is that weird, wonderful ticket. It’s not the deepest fighter you’ll ever play, but it nails the party-game vibe, which makes it perfect for a couple of afternoon couch co-op sessions or even a bit of competitive online fun. And hey, if nothing else, it’s a handy reminder that sometimes the best games are just the ones that make you grin like an absolute goof.
