When your team is in perfect synergy (or your chatting and playing with mates), games can last a surprising amount of time. Thrilling at timesĭespite players constantly tackling in certain games, there were plenty of matches that rivalled the thrill of a tense game of football or basketball. It was frustrating and often unnecessary, but how do you police that as a developer? It’s not a dig at Ubi, or even their fault, but it feels like there needs to be a way to mitigate this. Tripping someone over feels so satisfying, but I found far too many players abusing it, even when I was without the ball. You’re not bound to going the same direction, so if you’re without the ball, you can go the opposite way and try to knock the carrier over. Skating around the oval normally gives you a fair amount of speed, but you can pump to pick up some serious distance between you and your opponents. While the simplicity of the rules aren’t going to confuse you, it’s about how you choose to play that boosts the excitement. It adds a nice element of risk and reward, but the frustration of getting hit is a constant thorn in your side, and ultimately for me, sullied the experience.
However, if you choose not to shoot and continue circling the track without losing possession, you’ll get the chance to score three points, then five. Skating anti-clockwise around the track and passing through concurrent checkpoints will open up the hoop for you to score a single point, and if you score, you’re on your way to victory.
The main premise of Roller Champions is playing 3v3 around a single track, trying to put a ball through a hoop. It’s not perfect, and there are definite frustrations, but it could be a strong online multiplayer if it’s supported right. Although it was an almost identical experience, I still enjoyed playing. The gameplay has been refined, as has controlling your skater, but the core structure remains the same. I didn’t play for long, but the main takeaway was Ubisoft wanted to create a simple yet fun game that rewarded teamwork. It’s been a little over a year since I tried Roller Champions for the first time.
