Fists fly, gangs fall, and the streets belong to whoever hits hardest. City Brawl is a 3D side-scrolling beat 'em up fighting game where you battle wave after wave of ruthless street gangs using combos, grabs, and devastating special moves — and you can play it free in your browser right now on PLRun.

City Brawl is a casual action fighting game developed by Azgames and released on December 24, 2025. Drawing heavy inspiration from classic beat 'em up arcade games, it drops you into the streets of a crime-ridden city and challenges you to punch your way through escalating waves of gang members using martial arts combos.

What separates City Brawl from simple button mashers is its deep progression system. Defeated enemies drop oranges — the game's currency — which you spend between rounds to upgrade health, punch power, kick power, and weapon technique.

With 9 unlockable characters, each with unique stats and fighting styles, plus four difficulty tiers from Easy to Insane, this free online game offers surprising replay value. The colorful 3D graphics and responsive combat make it one of the best browser-based beat 'em up games available as an HTML5 game.

City Brawl uses keyboard controls optimized for fast combo chains: On mobile, tap-based on-screen controls replicate these inputs. The dual key bindings (Z/X/C/V or J/K/L) let you choose whichever hand position feels most comfortable.
