Mother Shanghai’s first work for mobile gaming brand Supercell is in the classic mould of the genre, playing out the story of a boy on a mission to uncover a mysterious player’s identity. Is it the hairdresser, his grandfather, a road sweeper, the butcher, or some martial arts triplets?
There is no clear-cut answer, because Supercell’s Brawl Stars is a game for all the family and anyone else besides.
