Lethal League Blaze presents itself as a sleek, competitive action game built around smacking a ball at mind-bending speeds. It sharpens the original’s core idea with tighter controls, more layered strategy, and a presentation so self-assured it teeters on arrogance. The characters brim with personality, the movement feels silky smooth, and the soundtrack seems calibrated to shake something loose in your brain. It’s …

Probably the most interesting and unique fighter I've ever played. The biggest downside with this game is one that shares with a lot of other fighting games. Trying to get your friends to play with you is impossible unless it's for like one or two rounds. Besides that it's insanely fun I love when the ball just starts flying at uncontrollable speed and then you or your friend starts freaking the ♥♥♥♥ out because you …

This is the fighting game of all time, devs should really take notes here. This game is incredibly fun, I always have fun whenever I pick this game up. Bangin soundtrack, easy to pick up and play, cool and fun characters, fast-paced action and stylish as all getout! What's not to like?!

This game is so dang good! Please buy it I'm begging you! The most unique fighting game I've ever played and I wish it was so much more popular. Buy it for yourself and some friends. Even if you're alone take a bit of time to try and learn some of the games systems and mechanic's. It's super rewarding to learn even as a casual. It's impossible to not look awesome controlling a mach 10 baseball that one shots your …

lethal league, strange beast that it is, is real good. its a perfect gimmicky fighting game for people out there who enjoy hitting things really hard without any real strategy, and mix-maxxers who love practicing every interaction out there. its peak and you should try it once at the very least 8.5/10

96% of the 154 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Lethal League Blaze. The complaint that keeps coming up: low online player population. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Lethal League was released on 27 August 2014 and has received mostly positive reviews. Many reviewers praised Lethal League for being "easy to learn, spectacular to watch and complex to master" and for being a lot of fun to play on the couch with friends. Destructoid's Ben Pack ended his review saying "It's my personal favorite of the revival of couch co-op games, and may be my favorite "tell a friend" game of all time." The game sold over 100.000 units worldwide by April 2015.

positive · AI labelView post →Been playing a lot of Lethal League Blaze I absolutely love this game so much Have a Candyman, he scares me sometimes (especially that special)
positive · AI labelView post →This week's Sunday Best feature is my Latch color pick on Lethal League Blaze. I've always really liked the kind of rising tension a game of Lethal League puts out, with the ball accelerating faster & faster, and the way time seems to hang when a player lands an enormous hit. It captures speed well.

neutral · AI labelView post →Lethal League Blaze is a unique game. Part sports part fighting with a crazy good soundtrack. I havent unlocked everyone yet but I like Jet and Toxic so far
positive · AI labelView post →Game 320: Lethal League Blaze A very unique and awesome take on the fighting genre, all about hitting your opponent with an increasingly faster ball while also avoiding it. It's the best kind of easy to learn, hard to master, made even better by a stylish presentation and a BANGER soundtrack.
positive · AI labelView post →Amazing game, needs more players though. Unfortunately friends hate playing with me on it, but that's on them. They still have to hear candyman's laugh every time they go to sleep
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →7. Lethal League Blaze Okay this one might be a stretch but it's not based on real sports very much. Bat a ball around in a game that's some parts Smash, with a whole lot of character brought by the same team as Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. store.steampowered.com/app/553310/L...

positive · AI labelView post →Lethal League Blaze is great for inviting a few of the boys over and blasting the ball around. The hype that happens every time the ball is hit over a certain speed is so simple, but it still works! You just gotta wonder if you can hit it back, or get absolutely smashed! Feels just right with the boys. Easy to learn, too

neutral · AI labelView post →It just works. You might boot up your first game of lethal league w your friends on the couch and think "surely there is some other mechanic I can use to make this do something crazy." Only for you to find out in glorious fashion how insane this game can get with its relatively rudimentary mechanics. Genuinely had a blast finding this game in my library and rediscovering it with my roommate a couple nights ago.

I'm going to be rambling on for quite a bit, skip over this unless you want to sit down and read for a few minutes. The only critique I have of the game ( which doesn't really relate to the game, but the community ) is that it's kinda dead. If you're going to find a match, put a looking for group ping into the lethal league blaze stadium discord server. I found a this game via song from its OST on my spotify…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →LOVE THIS GAME. The arcade and story modes are simple enough to get into once you understand the mechanics, but there's a lot of underlying complexity for PvP gameplay. The community is super active on discord, too, so you'll never end up lost and alone with no one to play with. Shoutout LLB stadium server! Luv bouncin that damn ball

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty fun game once you get the hang of it. Visually and audibly stunning, and most people can understand it within just a few minutes, as long as you explain the rules pretty clearly, it uses very few buttons. It's a great game to have on my steam deck and bring to a party.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The second game to be beaten this year was the story mode of Lethal League Blaze. It's short and it gives each character a showcase. I do wish it had just a couple more segments for some characters. I do like how it incorporates mirror matches and reskins in creative ways.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Incredible game, super underrated. In the sense that it needs to be FAR more popular than it is.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lethal League Blaze! You like chaotic four player fighting games? Well how about a game about smashing your opponent's face with a ball that's been hit to go fifty bajillion miles per hour? >:3
positive · AI labelView post →easily a 5 star game. I used to play this on my switch back in the earlier 2020s. i just recently got it on steam and ive never felt better. its possibly the most unique game ive ever played. fighter game or otherwise. its character design is amazing. and the skill ceiling is high. this might be one of the best games you can buy. and its unfortunate that so little people play it. this deserves a reward of some kind
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Banging beats and mad style" is a great way to put it, I never played the original, but this is great regardless. I'll never understand the competitive scene because they are on crack or something.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →best game i suck at award
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I cannot recommend this game. I know it's an old game with old netcode, but when I can play games of a similar age with lower than triple-digit ping from coast to coast, I really can't feel like I can appreciate and learn the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →wow i threw the ball at mach ten million this game is peak because of its funky fresh beats this blue thumbs up cannot describe the joy i feel while playing this game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lethal League Blaze is my favorite game of all time and I wanna make art for Mach tournaments, merch and be involved with the community but the catch is I’m infamous for wanting Candyman to do horrid things to me so I dunno if that’ll get me banished to the netherworld
