Go into the Assist menu and there are toggles for things such as invincibility, infinite ammo, infinite slow-mo, and more. Mess up and at worst you’ll land a bit awkwardly, letting you concentrate on the killing.įor those who find everything a bit too challenging, Rollerdrome has a whole host of lifelines. You can’t bail here like you do in Tony Hawk’s Pro Stater et al. You also don’t have to worry too much about messing up when it comes to tricks.
You’ll also develop your skills, learning to dodge just at the right time so you can trigger Super Reflex Time in which you do more damage. Of course, you get better equipped to deal with them, with four weapons eventually making up your arsenal. While your opponents are initially lightly armed, by the end they have laser guns, mech suits and more. Your enemies not only become more numerous, but they even get more outlandish and geared up. As you move through the various stages of the competition, the challenge really ramps up. That’s the answer.īut make no mistake, Rollerdrome is a challenging game. In what other game can you take down a bat-wielding goon while soaring through the air with dual-wielded pistols blaring, landing gracefully before jumping up a ramp, rotating and flipping while performing a grab, then enabling slow-mo, switching to the shotgun, and taking down a sniper with a well timed slug-shot? None. Throw in additional gameplay quirks such as slow-mo and a handy dodge ability, and you have all the ingredients required to make something that feels flashy, stylish and entirely unique. Ammo is very limited, you see, perhaps overly so, and the only way to replenish it is to perform tricks. In any case, success requires a careful balance between killing and showing off your skating skills. To complete all challenges, then, you’re going to have to complete some events numerous times. But you might also be tasked with completing the entire event using only the Grenade Launcher. Take the starting weapon, the dual pistols, for example: you might be tasked with taking down a Warhead-type House Player with them, one that fires rockets and shield themselves shortly after taking damage. Chances are you’re not going to finish all the challenges an event offers in one run. You might need to perform a certain trick, for example, kill a House Player in a specific way, or simply reach a target score. In the game’s campaign mode you’ll move from one arena to another, with your progress gated by the completion of challenges.
But as well as pulling off a wide range of tricks including grabs, flips and grinds, killing what are called House Players with skill is just as important in your endeavours. Zipping around arenas on your rollerskates, performing combos in pursuit of a high score is the ultimate goal. Imagine Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater with guns – that’s essentially Rollerdrome. This is a violent sport where poor performance is more than likely to result in death. As sports go, the rules are relatively simple: defeat your opponents while skating around an arena performing tricks. The year is 2030 and you’re Kara Hassan, a rookie taking place in their first Rollerdrome season. Cross rollerskates with guns, and you have one of the most entertaining bloodsports of the future.
