We must give a lot of credit to Rocket League, which has launched a new wave of sports action games. Roller Champions, the new free game from Ubisoft that combines the best of Rocket League with roller derby, is exceptional. The basic principle of the game is that two teams of three players work together to get a ball into an arena one, two, or three times before shooting it into a hoop that hangs on the wall. The number of times you ride the track affects the number of points each goal earns (one, three, or five points respectively) with the first five points earning. Of course, the other team of players will prevent you from scoring and will try to attack and remove the ball. The particularity of this game, and my new favorite sports game in PVP, lies in the fact that in addition to being playable for free, it is easier to play than Rocket League.
Beginners welcome, professionals wanted.
While Rocket League really plays like a motorized soccer game where you use cars to push a ball from one end of the field to the other, Roller Champions is a bit like playing professional skateboarding and Tony Hawk's Basketball simultaneously. It's a wild combination that works surprisingly well, and as difficult as it sounds, it's actually much easier for Rocket League to play for new players. This is not to say that Rocket League is difficult in and of itself, or impossible to master, but it is a game that starts out easy and gets very, very quickly, more difficult as you try to outsmart your opponents. The problem with Rocket League, and I always thought that was the case, is that the basic skills required to play the game, namely passing and shooting, take extraordinary time to succeed. Roller Champions avoids all of this by a control system that can take over a lot in the first minute. There are passes, shots, and tackles, all of which are assigned to a button. There are more complex control mechanics here that will separate the novices from the pros, like pumping (i.e. gaining speed going downhill) and dodging (which can be done when you're holding the ball), but the bone mechanics won't. It allows. It requires an extraordinarily high skill level. These are mechanisms that will help Roller Champions create a dedicated online community and, perhaps one day, a small esports scene along the lines of Rocket League. Until then, I'm pretty much set for the Roller Champions to be the English Football League and the Rocket League.
The battle of the balloon
And at a very basic level, Roller Champions and Rocket League have a lot in common: they're competitive three-on-three games that have a similar aesthetic. They ask your team to work together to move the ball from point A to point B. And, most importantly, they allow one person on your team (sometimes more) to be a total troll. This last part is an important aspect in both games. In Rocket League, having a goalie is a pretty good strategy, just like in Roller Champions. But Champions speed up the troll meter a bit by allowing you to attack any member of the opposing team at any time, whether they're carrying the ball or not. Not only is it much easier to take on the Roller Champions, but it also gives you the same sense of exhilaration that you've had playing NFL Blitz or NHL Hitz. The result can only be described as euphoria as you watch your opponent, who probably didn't see you coming, rise off the ground as you skate.
Better with friends, but not bad alone.
Granted, it's true that this last gesture could make me look like a hideous troll who starts crying to his opponents. I promise I don't do it...often. Most of the time, I focus on being a good teammate by setting up a block, passing a long ball down the lane, or shooting for the team. All this coordination is obviously more fun (and more consistent) when you play with a friend. But the great thing about Roller Champions, which is so easy to pick up and play, is that the partner doesn't matter, it's pretty easy to keep up no matter who your teammates are. Rocket League, due to its maximum skill set, can be very intimidating for new players and frustrating for those looking for the best teammates, which really isn't much fun for both players. You'll still be able to maneuver and play against your opponents once you get good at Roller Champions, but your teammates won't be as bad, or rather, they won't be as bad as in Rocket League due to the ease with which the game is controlled. .
