It says single player, but I don't think it is

I've played a little and it seems to be all multiplayer. Is there a single player mode?

If you're not interested in matching with live players, you can play offline and be matched with bots. You won't earn rank but this is a great way to practice power-ups and different play styles until you're ready to take your skills live!

How does one toggle this?

If you set it too PC only it, sadly, is basically offline.

From my experience this basically works. Set Crossplay to "PC Only" and there are so few PC players that you will likely only play bots. On the plus side, you this way you can level up your player and unlock things as you play bots. With an occasional human.

So why are people who play against bots being punished for doing so? What’s the logic behind that baffling decision?

In games like Battlefield 2042 and World of Warships you don't get any punishment at all if matches is filled up with bots.

Since Lego Brawls punishes players who play vs bots, i'm not gonna buy it even at it's current low price as i won't play it in it's current state.

You just don't gain rank if you decide to play offline against bots. If you play online and there are no players (very likely in "PC only" mode) you still gain rank by playing against bots.

Which DOES make sense, in a weird lawyer-rules way.

Players: "I want to exclusively play with bots"
Devs: "Okay, but you can't gain rep because that's cheating."
Players: "I want crossplay, online-only obv."
Devs: "That's fair. Absolutely!"
Players: "I only want to play with people using the same control scheme for balance."
Devs: "Go ahead!"
PC Player: "Me too?"
Devs: "You're all playing on the same game engine, but not hardware, sure, why not? Everyone would not buy the game on PC if didn't anyway."
PC Player: "Okay, awesome." *thinking* Suckers...

Edit: To be fair, I'm not going to abuse this loophole just to collect the minifigs; I actually like playing against real people and losing a match out of every two barely impedes my progress.
