I do like how your character will slowly float back to the arena from the sky, as that acts as your respawn timer. Avoiding that final hit is possible but very rare since your movement when in the air is severely limited. From here your character will be floating in the air but you can save yourself here with some skillful dodges, but if you take another hit you get launched out of the arena. When it fills you will get launched into the air. Dealing damage to enemies, I would say, is somewhat similar to Super Smash Bros. Some of the maps even have interactive elements to them like shooting the switches in the Jungle map will cause a barrage of rockets to be fired from the temple and explode on the battleground below.ĭespite the game basically being a hero shooter, the mechanics of the game are somewhat different, mostly with how you score knockouts. And the maps add to the lore of the game in which each one is the home location of the playable characters and include a Mayan jungle, snowy castle, the wild west, an under the sea map and more. There are bigger maps in the game and the maps do vary between small, medium and large, which is good. Even only being 3v3, some of the maps are quite small and these are the ones I enjoyed the most because I loved how matches in the smaller arenas are just crazy frag fests with rockets and players flying all over the place. That however ads to the charm of the game. Games are fast and frantic to the point where you may find yourself getting shot at and knocked out before you even realize what happened. Your character can jump three times in the air but you can also launch your main weapon downward to the ground to launch yourself in the air or to climb up to higher areas. Speaking of which, I think we all remember the first time we played Quake 3 Arena or Halo and used the rocket jump exploit to get away from enemies or get to higher areas. Well kinda.Īmphora basically has a water gun, Izell has a spear and Jayto has a machine gun, but the weapons all act like rockets, so you get the point. Given the name of the title, it's no surprise that every character's main weapon is a rocket. The game features a colorful and diverse cast of characters each with their own weapons, special abilities and ultimate abilities. Rocket Arena at its core is a hero shooter. It is fun, but at the same time this is one of the worst launches of a multiplayer game I have seen in a long time and really puts a damper on what could have been one of the biggest multiplayer launches of the year. A lot of the matches are fast paced and it's one of the easiest games to pick up and play. Rocket Arena however is a faster and more casual game where, as you would expect, all weapons are rockets. Despite feeling like the market has been over saturated, the hero shooter genre is still going strong and Rocket Arena adds another game to that growing list in the genre.
