The best moments are in the one-on-one brawls within the wider battle around you. Three of my favourite additions are Fake Throws, Passing, and “Balling Up”: the latter of which sees your character tuck and roll into a ball, allowing your teammates to use you as a dodgeball and vice versa! It is a bit overpowered though - Landing a hit on an enemy with a balled-up teammate is an instant KO. It’s not all throwing and catching though curving the ball, lobbing the ball, gliding, last-minute dodging and tackling add some spice to the basic gameplay. It becomes a matter of timing to use the catch button on time, but you can’t just spam it frequently - there’s a cooldown so the duel doesn’t turn into a game of room-temperature potato. Your best bet when a ball is heading your way is to catch it - a red vignette will warn you of danger, with a lump that lines the border indicating the direction of the oncoming attack. The controls are far from complicated: just walk over the ball to pick it up, hold the throw button to charge your shot, have your reticle auto-lock to your rival, and release. Though it’ll take some practice to effectively use the tools at to your disposal, once you get to grips with it, the game’s potential broadens with you and your teammates’ skill. First to 10 KO’s wins the round, best of 3 wins the game, with rounds capped to 5 minutes. A standard round of “Dodgebrawl” goes as follows: get hit by a ball twice in one life and you get knocked out, every knockout equals 1 point to the opposing team. And being a 3D third-person Action ‘Shooter’ (of sorts!), Knockout City has the ball in its court in terms of its premise. There’s not a lot of dodgeball representation in videogames as it is. It’s evident that Knockout City is heavily influenced by its contemporaries, as it feels a lot like an amalgamation of other competitive online team-based games that have only grown more popular over the last decade. In this underground society, life revolves around turf wars of dodging balls in extreme underground “Dodgebrawl” matches across the metropolis known asKnockout City. Terry brought some of his brownies for the next dodgeball meet ‘n’ greet! We’ve got a free sampler course that runs from the 21st of May until the 30th.

This city is our battlefield, and you either got balls - or get knocked out… Oi, Kid! You think you got what it takes to make it big on these streets? To survive in our world? Didn’t your mummy tell you it’s dangerous to mess with tough guys like us? Reviews // 21st May 2021 - 2 years ago // By Danielle Winter Knockout City Review
