“The gameplay is intuitive and smooth, and very satisfying all around.”
“The game lacks depth in the gameplay and is pretty dead.”
“The maps are meh, and the gameplay is pretty repetitive after a while; get cornered by the stack = lose, corner with your stack = win.”
“It's fun for a bit, I wanted a dodgeball video game for a long time, but honestly I can't play this much even with friends for a variety of reasons, mostly the gameplay loop is very minimal and the map design is so-so, and it's just so easy to burn out for that reason.”

90%A Game You Shouldn’t Dodge
Knockout City is highly addictive, fast-paced, organized multiplayer chaos that sometimes makes you feel like the best of the arena and, in other times, wondering why you can be so bad after playing games for so long. But in the long run, it's the most coordinated and coffee-fueled crew that wins. That is unless you're soloing another player.
