With the intense thrill of competition, and the humour and absurdity found only in dodgeball, Knockout City challenges ‘dodgebrawlers’ to a fast-paced gameplay experience packed with its own unique style. Knockout City players will discover interactive environments as they brawl their way through five action-packed multiplayer maps and six distinct ball types.

Reviewed on PC with code supplied by the publisher.Stellar Entertainment helped to develop EA and Velan Studios’ Dodgeball-Inspired Team-Based Multiplayer Game, Knockout City, which is out now. Most importantly, it's a hell of a lot of fun to play. It's not the first time dodge ball has been recreated in video game form (props to Kunio-kun and the rest of the Super Dodge Ball gang), but it is a unique fusion of arena combat and the original gym class contest of champions. I don't know if that will happen right now, but I can say that Knockout City feels unique to play, look at, and listen to. But that will only happen if Knockout City can carve out enough of a niche in a very competitive online space to cultivate its own online community.

Velan envisions a game full of rival Crews, each developing their own infamous aesthetics and playstyles, and I'd love to be part of something like that. It was always a good time when the matchmaking system paired me up with my fellow Ballers for an impromptu Crew outing. I started my own Crew called the Rubber Ballers (later Rubber Brawlers but I might change it back), and I made a side game out of trying to recruit every decent brawler I got matched with. Crews are a big deal in Knockout City: each member will display your Crew's icon via a holographic projection on their back, and if your whole team is part of the same Crew, you'll even roll up to matches in your own hover car. Yeah, it's another premium game with microtransactions, but at least it's all cosmetic and you have a bunch of other ways to unlock stuff.Įach new season of Knockout City will bring in new playlists and maps, and if you're playing in a Crew you'll even have special weekly challenges to complete as a group, with rewards for every member who was active that week. There's also a cash shop, where you can use the Holobux you buy for real money or earn in the course of play to purchase revolving rewards.

There are daily and weekly challenges to complete for extra XP and special rewards of their own. There are hundreds of Street Rank tiers to level up through, offering a set collection of cosmetic items in a randomized order for each player.

That's the other way Velan Studios intends to keep players brawling long after the free trial ends: stuff. Whatever playlist you're in, you'll earn XP and unlock cosmetic rewards as you play.

A ranked league mode is also on the way, though I didn't get to try that out myself. Still, it isn't vanilla Team KO or go home for me the way Diamond Dash encourages mid-to-short-range brawls so players can scoop up enemy diamonds makes it my favorite of all three. Every ball in the match doing something weird messes with the basics too much. During the review event we got to try Party Team KO, which swaps out the standard dodgeballs for all special variants (like the aforementioned bomb, or a sniper-like football), and Diamond Dash, which is Kill Confirmed with giant gems instead of dog tags.Īs someone who usually loves goofy extra-random modes like Mystery Heroes in Overwatch, it pains me to say that I did not like Party Team KO. I never stopped wanting one more match during the review event, but will it be another matter once thousands of players have dipped, ducked, and dodged in Knockout City for weeks on end? Well, if you ever get tired of the basics in Team KO, you can also queue into a rotating selection of playlists for other modes.
