![]() ![]() You can spend money if you want, but the game is perfectly enjoyable with just the price of admission. For a game with a lower price tag, but still utilizing microtransactions, this is at least manageable. You can even earn style chips to give yourself more options with the cosmetics. Finishing contracts can earn a lot of Holobux and experience, and helps to make progress a breeze in the game. These missions can be anything like tackling a certain amount of opponents, or even completing a set number of matches. While you can buy them with your hard earned real money, you can actually earn it all just by playing and completing contracts.Ĭontracts are special missions that have players fulfilling certain requests. Leveling up can also help to earn Holobux, the in-game currency for purchasing even more cosmetics. You’ll earn these rewards on top of your regular rewards through leveling up, making your avatar incredibly flashy. Being part of a crew means you can earn special crew cosmetics as well. If you find true teammates, then it’s best to form a crew. While you can often get by or even carry your team to victory, working well together makes for a more enjoyable experience. Knockout City puts players in 3-on-3 or even 4-on-4 multiplayer dodgebrawls. ![]() Of course, the true key to success is teamwork. If you can master these special balls, then you can make for a formidable opponent. Some modes, like Party Team KO, even make all the balls special. From the fast and deadly sniper ball to the gravity defying moon ball, the game can easily change depending on the special ball chosen for the match. Speaking of special balls, there’s plenty of types of special orbs to utilize in the game. One of the special balls, the cage ball, even forces you to go into ball mode. You can mash buttons to get free, but if you’re not fast enough, you can end up in a nasty predicament. There’s even a mode specifically for it, though the strategies get real interesting here when opponents start catching you and throwing you off buildings. It’s an interesting concept, but it does work well in practice. If your teammate charges you, then you can even unleash an ultimate attack that delivers an instant KO. If you roll into a ball near an ally, you can become an emergency projectile to utilize. One of the more interesting features is the ability to roll into a ball yourself. This can be with the help of an extra teammate, or even using feint throws. Of course, these rules apply to them as well, so you’ll have to catch them off guard. If you catch it, or even make a perfect catch, then you can turn the tables on your opponent. Brace for impact too early or too late, and you’ll take a hit. Timing is key, as the window for catching an incoming ball is limited. Not only are you able to dodge (which doubles as an effective tackle), but you’ll also be able to catch thrown balls. ![]() Things get real interesting when you end up on the defensive side. Players can even use hang gliders to glide through the air. These tricks also give players the ability to get extra jumps, increasing mobility on the map. Throws get even more complex when performing tricks in the air, allowing curve balls and lobs as well. If you hold down the trigger, it charges the throw to make it faster. Players will run around the map and pick up dodgeballs of various types, using the right trigger to throw them. Knockout City is incredibly easy to pick up, but full of creative strategies. As simple as the game looks, this is one incredibly deep multiplayer experience. Only the five D’s of dodgeball: dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge! Of course, this being a video game, we also get depth with additional gameplay mechanics. Players will create their character with several preset options, and they’ll unlock more over time as they level up. This includes various team modes as well as free-for-all matches, each offering something a bit different. The goal of Knockout City is to enter one of several arenas to compete for dodgeball supremacy. While seeing the title reminded me of Rocket Arena, it seems like things are moving in a better direction for Knockout City. Moving away from the augmented reality space, the developer shifts gears with an online multiplayer title with Knockout City. The newest EA Original comes from Velan Studios, the developer of Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit. We’ll often get breakout titles like Fe or It Takes Two, giving developers the chance to get a wide release. It’s always interesting to see a new title from the EA Originals lineup. ![]()
