About
Strikers Edge is a competitive, online multiplayer game that combines elements of archery and dodgeball. Players choose from different characters, each with unique abilities, and battle in fast-paced matches set in ancient arenas. The goal is to eliminate opponents by hitting them with arrows or using special abilities, while avoiding incoming attacks and managing limited stamina.











- The game features a well-crafted art style and enjoyable mechanics, making it visually appealing and fun to play, especially in local multiplayer.
- It offers a unique concept that combines elements of dodgeball and fighting games, providing a competitive experience that can be engaging with friends.
- The character variety and their unique abilities add depth to the gameplay, allowing for different strategies and playstyles.
- The online multiplayer is essentially non-functional, leading to a lack of players and making it difficult to find matches, which diminishes the game's value.
- The movement mechanics feel clunky and unresponsive, often compared to sliding on ice, which negatively impacts the overall gameplay experience.
- The single-player campaign is short and lacks depth, with generic lore and minimal content, leaving players wanting more.

Strikers Edge has some decent mechanics at its core, but a lack of gameplay modes, short campaign and deserted online scene make this essentially a barebones local multiplayer title with a high asking price.
