About

Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball is a vibrant multiplayer futuresport where you race around a skate park / dance club in jet-powered robots and try to hit each other with exploding dodgeballs. Its focus on skillful roller-skate movement and physics-based projectile warfare make it one of the most intensely fun and satisfying FPS experiences since the Robocalypse of 2742. It's a ridiculously fun dodgeball FPS that is reminiscent of the classic arena combat shooters, before the genre got overrun by generic brownish military set-piece bullet sponge shooting galleries. Instead you get exhilarating mid-air projectile battles, fast-paced acrobatic movement, trick shots, skillful dodging, and quick-reflex catching.

When the connection is strong, the balls are bouncing as you intend, and there are enough players to populate the servers, Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball is a treat. The audiovisual package superbly complements the wall-to-wall mayhem found within a competitive round, and there’s a healthy suite of modes to mix up the action. ...Disco Dodgeball is a creative player in a crowded space, but lacks too many attributes to stand out.

At press time, Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball is the highest rated multiplayer game on Steam.... It’s a cool statistic, but Disco Dodgeball hasn’t even cracked 1,000 reviews yet, whereas Counter-Strike has almost 40,000 reviews and Left 4 Dead 2 has almost 90,000. ...it’s easily one of the best, most fun, well-crafted multiplayer games available right now, making it all the more impressive that it was designed entirely by one person, but no one is playing it.

There is little reason to believe that Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball won’t be a cult hit amongst fans of both the sports and first-person shooter genre. It’s engaging style is enough to catch the eye, and its gameplay is fun enough to let it linger. Outside of the game being a tad shallow on the customization front, there’s not a lot of fault to be found in RRDDD. If there is, its distinct visual flair and lively gameplay will be sure to keep you from noticing.
