    A multiplayer game that deserves more attention. With well designed maps great gameplay and lots of weapons and abilities for the heroes, this is one of the most enjoyable games of the genre we've tried this year. Too bad the community is so small that it's getting too hard to find a game.

    Overall, Rocket Arena is a solid multiplayer title that could be the beginning of an interesting new IP. It may seem bleak for this little shooter at the moment, but I’d urge those looking for a fresh take on competitive games to check it out.

    Rocket Arena is a fun game that offers a lot of features that players ask for all of the time in other games. You’ll have to ask yourself if you like this style of gameplay and the art style, but the game is well designed and a blast to play. If it goes free to play eventually, I think it can have sustained success.

    Rocket Arena is a well thought-out and executed game that suffered from its poorly advertised launch by EA but manages to stand out for its own proposal. It's a refreshing and funny game that gives us the necessary tools for us to unfold all our imagination.

    Rocket Arena is an admirably light-hearted shooter that soars when it comes to characters. The roster is full of versatile playstyles and memorable personalities that will draw you in, and the addicting gameplay could keep you there if you can get behind the floaty but satisfying combat. While the lack of content and underwhelming multiplayer suite doesn’t fully justify it not being free-to-play at the moment, things will only get better with time, and, fundamentally, Rocket Arena’s launch is worth the force of its trajectory.

    Rocket Arena is an interesting rocket-based twist on the team-based shooter genre. With unique rockets and abilities, each character plays differently and entices you to try them out. Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed by enemy attacks, especially with the slow movement speed, but that doesn't drag it down much.

    The 3 versus 3 formula goes well with the size of the maps and with the modalities present at the launch, as well as the variety of heroes and artifacts outlines a fairly thorough game system. However, the Final Strike Games title suffers from an excessively anonymous style, which is unlikely to create a memorable imagination and to establish itself in the imagination of the players.

Rocket Arena é ruim, repetitivo, chato, cheio de DLC e microtransação com menos de um mês de lançamento, e pior de tudo não apresenta inovação. Não recomendo essa porcaria e espero que a EA deixe de existir em breve. Full Review »

    Terrible game with terrible mechanics, generic character and awful gameplay. EA standard as usual.
