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

    Eu já comecei a cansar de criticar a EA e seus jogos, mas realmente não dá. 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.

    Rocket Arena has given me one of the greatest multiplayer experiences in a long while. If you liked the fun competitiveness of Destiny 1's Trials and Black Ops 2 Ranked Play days, this game right here will give you those days back.

    The gameplay is fast paced and skill-based. Right now, there are characters that are stronger than the other. But if you're really good, it won't matter.

    The gameplay is fast paced and skill-based. Right now, there are characters that are stronger than the other. But if you're really good, it won't matter. You'll carry that W home.

    But hey, say if you want to just chill and have fun with your friends. Private matches are amazing. Especially with cross-play. Every Saturday night me and the boys hop on Rocket Arena and just go crazy. Yelling and calling out good plays. It's a real good time.

    Now for the monetization. Many people complain about the $30 price tag, but then I looked back at the price of Overwatch when it first came to PS4...it was $40. They forced you to pay the Origins Edition for a couple of skins. Yee Haw? We had to pay $20 extra for 5 lame skins(PC was $20)... But yeah let's move on from that abomination of a game. If I could refund it, I would do it in a heartbeat.

    So another good thing about Rocket Arena's monetization is the battle pass. Yeah every game has one now. It's the new wave. But in this game, you can actually earn premium currency (Rocket Fuel) to purchase the Pass. Rinse and repeat, for free! I very much appreciate that, because not many games are that nice to you.

    As for that price tag of $30, worth it. The game is a really fun experience through and through.

    Now for my complaints: balancing and game modes. Admittedly there could be more modes and touching up current modes like Treasure Hunt and Rocketball. But that's about it, honestly.

    9/10 - Highly Recommend    … Expand

    Regardless of its monetization model I have not had this much fun in a long time. The game is just brimming with personality. Each charcter plays significantly different from any other. The developers deserve a round of applause for how polished this game is. Hopefully it can go FTP so the player-base can grow.

    I've grown bored of multiplayer games of late. I seem to keep going back to old games that don't give me the same satisfaction they used to. Rocket Arena has finally given me a new multiplayer game that I greatly enjoy and the competitive scene is actually good. Lots of fun to be had just don't go into it thinking of it as another hero shooter like Overwatch. It is comparable to OverwatchI've grown bored of multiplayer games of late.

    Просто дно. даже 300 рублей потраченных жалко на эту халтуру. Не удивительно что её уже в первые дни сливают. Не покупайте ни в коем случае!!!

    From strictly a gameplay standpoint, Rocket Arena is (in small doses) a fun, family-friendly third person online shooter. Unfortunately the lack of content and mode variety makes it become boring too quickly, and adding salt to the wound throws in microtransactions instead of rewards for character progression. I hope they improve this game through community support and feedback overtime,From strictly a gameplay standpoint, Rocket Arena is (in small doses) a fun, family-friendly third person online shooter.

    Why I don't like this game:

    - character movement is too slow - special abilities and shooting in general feels unsatisfying. - few aim controls customization options, no deadzone. - menu design is ugly and looks unfinished - sound design is bad and the music doesn't add anything to the experience - enemies are bullet spungy. You'd expect his game to be fast and excilerating but it fels    Why I don't like this game:

    It's an alright game and I'm glad it went straight to the vault for EA Access or else i would have been absolutely livid for buying a game then having to shelve out more money for a battle pass.
    You either make the game completely free or you get rid of the battle pass. You can't charge for both

    Szablonowe mapy, straszny system dobierania graczy, teammaci jak boty, stoją na afku albo z piłką biegną pod swoją bramke, sam mecz trwa około 6 minut, samo dobieranie graczy i loading około 2,5 minuty, nudne postacie, gra po zakupie przy każdym wejściu do gry zachęca do kupna pakietu za coś koło 20 złotych, EA nie popisaliście sie

    Good graphics and Disney / Pixar style charters make this game unique in the market. However it's difficult to get into 3 v 3 matches because no one is playing this game. Also it's system has problem by giving players 3 min ban for leaving game "After" your teammates already left.(Which it said wont give you ban on the screen.)

    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.

    Technically solid 3-vs-3-shooter aimed at a younger audience. Unfortunately there are no unique features found anywhere, be it weapons, abilities or arenas.

    Rocket Arena shows that there’s more to multiplayer shooters than just military sims and battle royale games. Unfortunately, the unappealing progression rewards and lack of engaging content limit its potential.
