    Roller Champions is a competitive video game with a solid foundation. Its rules and game mechanics are easy to understand and enjoyable. Playing with strangers will be difficult, but in a team with friends with a lot of communication the game turns into something exciting. Its progression system is fair. It will need a community to stay alive and well.

    Roller Champions delivers a high dynamic gameplay, that's easy to learn and hard to master. A great fun-sport game that's simple on the one hand and motivating skill-based on the other. It is sad Ubisoft uses a F2P system trying to fleece the gamers prone for that kind of business model. Because as a low-budget or mid-price title widely without that, it could have been close to a new Rocket League.

    Roller Champions provides a solid gameplay base, but only time will tell to see how dev support will keep players coming back.

    Unfortunately, it's tough to center a game's progression around cosmetics when the skater that's being customized looks so bland. Add to that a limited availability of game modes at launch and Roller Champions gets off to a rough start at the track. Fortunately, the core experience is enjoyable enough that it could feasibly pick up some momentum and score some goals down the road.

    Often mocked for its games with recycled gameplay, Ubisoft offers us something original with Roller Champions. The rules of this fictional sport hold up perfectly, and so do the execution, gameplay, and accessibility. So we're having a really good time online. On the other hand, the content is weak for the moment, it is its main fault.

    Roller Champions is a small candy that is savored with pleasure. Engaging game sensations and refreshing mechanics make this new free-to-play game a pleasure to relaunch… But for how long? Without varied content and a few important features, the little candy can quickly lose its flavor. It remains to be seen what Ubisoft has in store for us next, but the studio has a free-to-play program full of potential that we hope will grow over the course of updates to become as attractive as Rocket League and others...

    Roller Champions has potential, but it actually looks like a very Early Access than a finished game. It almost has no content and its economic system is far from the healthiest on the market. Those who don’t want to pay, will have to grind for long hours just top hope to get hair or a less generic character.

You will absolutely have a blast for the first 5-10 hours though.

    Needs more content, then it can be great.

    One of the most dysfunctional games I've ever seen.
    It's true, the game has foundation, but NOTHING MORE. Tackle hitboxes are purely broken, and the matchmaking is the most nightmarish system of this type I've seen in any game I've played. It's worth giving a try until you actually give it a try, then you'll realize this game's existence is pure nonsense and just a blatant joke.

Esto solo ya dice todo. La dependencia de tus compañeros es demasiada, conque te toque con uno que no la pase, listo, ya has perdido seguro. Es la mayor puta basura de juego que puedes encontrar. En otros juegos de equipos, como en el call of duty mobile, que es el que se me viene a la mente, no dependes tanto de tus compañeros, aunque falle uno más o menos puedes seguir, pero aquí no, aquí como falle uno ya se ha ido todo a la mierda.

    I've been following the game since its first appearance at E3, and I have to say the game didn't change much, same game pretty much, moreI've been following the game since its first appearance at E3, and I have to say the game didn't change much, same game pretty much, more cosmetic options, a $ shop / pay pass, and what seem to be the same matchmaking issues and crashes...

    This game has been in development for ages. Instead of waiting so long to release it, they should probably have released it a year or so after the announcement at E3, like they originally planned. I remember the hype at that time, and I feel they missed the opportunity to limit development costs and start small, see what happens, and build a community and a better game for that crowd...

    The Free to Play market is full of options, and I have to say the offering is quite limited with Roller Champions. I had fun playing throughout the various betas, and the final release, but even if I considered myself a big fan of the game, I got bored very quickly, it's like playing the same thing over again.

    The launch has been a mess, and I think they lost a lot of potential players my delivering a subpar experience. It's expected to see F2P launches crash servers and whatnot, but this game ain't no WoW nor a highly anticipated game like Elden Ring... I watched big streamers like Sips cancelling their stream (probably sponsored by Ubisoft by the way) because they just got tired trying to navigate the connectivity issues and crashes...

    Conclusion: Game design perspective : this is to me a very nice idea that the design team failed to refine into something that meets its niche. Project management perspective : this looks like a failure to direct what looks like a talented team towards a clear goal, because the game it itself looks good, has a nice sound track, but shows a clear lack of direction. What you get when you play the release version of Roller Champions is not worth the 4+ years this game has been in development, and I don't expect it to be profitable anytime soon considering the amount of cash it must have costed, which is probably north of 25M USD in salaries alone, (quick back-of-the-envelop math...) that's gonna be a lot of Roller Passes and customization items...
