When it comes to sports games, we’re pretty much drowning in soccer, football, basketball, and hockey, but what about dodgeball? Not really. That’s about to change though, in the upcoming dodgeball-inspired Stikbold!, which is an over-the-top take on the ball-to-the-face classic. Oh, and it’ll have a story mode.
This spring, two teams of three will be throwing a ball at their opponents while avoiding… traps and hazards. Or rather, players returning from the great beyond (where one is sent by taking a ball to the face (or any body part, really)) as sand sharks or something even more obscure. What, creepy? Uncanny? Ridiculous? Awesome? All of the above?
Stikbold! thrusts up to six players into a variety of crazy courts for manic multiplayer action as dodgeballs, jellyfish, beehives and more are hurled to knock out the competition.
Tell me that doesn’t sound awesome, I dare you. On top of that, how about going on a grand dodgeball-esque adventure to rescue damsels in distress, and save the Stikbold! championships and… something about the devil? All accompanied by a soundtrack straight out of the 70s, with characters and clothing to match, this spring on PS4, Xbox One, and Windows / OS X.
