The latest Nick All-Star Brawl patch, now live on Steam, continues to buff Patrick, and gives some nice changes for Lincoln Loud.
Nick All-Star Brawl has continued to quietly chug along with patches. While its active playerbase has dwindled to under a thousandactive users on Steam(typical for a fighting game after launch) and viewership on Twitch has been lacking as of late, the developers at Ludosity and Game Mill Entertainment have continued to update the game.
In this latest patch, Patrick and Lincoln Loud have both been buffed massively, as well as a number of changes to standardize landing lag among the cast.
Additionally, a number of qualify of life improvements, including a rearrangement of the character select screen to go by origin series, have been made.
One thing thedevelopers did note,however, is that this patch is only live on Steam. Something the developers have been struggling with is the patch process on consoles, meaning that Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation users will have to wait for these massive reworks.
This along with the lack of crossplay could hurt the game in the long term. However, let’s get into the full Nick All-Star Brawl patch notes below.
