    It is like playing Atari 2600 Combat with only slightly more depth. Not a lot here especially single player. No online. Gets old real fast. Real great polish and art. Pass. There are better local multiplayer games.

    Stikbold can really become the star of the evening when you have a game night with friends. It’s made for local co-op multiplayer and it shows, it has a few flaws but overall it’s a fun adventure and worth buying.

    Stikbold’s story is funny and charming and diverse although a bit short. But Stikbold! Really shines in the local multiplayer mode. It is easy to pick up but hard to master and will be an instant classic on game nights with friends. With the current asking price the game is a steal! Highly recommend.

    It's a handball simulator kind of game. It has several different modes you can play, and there is a story mode. The game itself is nothing spectacular, and might keep you entertained for a weekend or so

    The game is poorly made and the mechanics do not function well. The story is the stupidest one I have ever come across, but I have to say, the game is super fun, especially when played with friends and bots! Yes, it gets quickly boring and repetitive, but you will spend many hours in local multiplayer and mini games.

    It's short and simple. [June 2016, p.83]

    The best couchplay game since TowerFall. [June 2016, p.94]

    There's nothing overly serious about Stikbold, and that is where most of the charm comes from. For a game that is nominally about Dodgeball I was overly impressed with how the developers were able to keep the experience fresh and comedic throughout.
