Aug 23, 2022When everything comes together, Rollerdrome feels incredible, but too often, things get buried under the weight of its many systems. While even at its worst, there is definitely fun to be had here, this feels like an incredible concept for a game where the developers needed to spend a little more time workshopping what aspects of it were really needed. It’s still a good game, though, and the foundation is in place for a sequel to be truly incredible.

Aug 20, 2022Rollerdrome is an action game smartly mixed rollerskating and shooting. While the fast, exciting action and retro style OST are impressive, relatively scarce volumes and cartoon rendered visuals can be divided into likes and dislikes.

Aug 17, 2022Rollerdrome is stunning to behold and great fun to play, but loses some of its flow as it starts to swamp you with more and more stuff to look out for and get hit by.
-
Aug 17, 2022Unfortunately, the package ends up feeling a bit bare. The story is window dressing, and the gameplay is lacking in variety. The lack of multiplayer also feels like a missed opportunity. Without it, there’s not much replayability other than an online leaderboard.
-
Aug 16, 2022Once you get to grips with its demands, Rollerdrome’s core concept is realised immaculately. With glorious backup from its retro stylings, each run is peppered with audacious stunts that would grace any action movie. It flags towards the end, however, thanks to an inelegant pile-on of difficulty, a lack of new twists, and disregard for its character’s story and narrative themes.

Aug 16, 2022Rollerdrome is Roll7 stepping out of their comfort zone and creating something original while trying to retain the magic fans of their games know and love. At the same time, I can't help but to feel that this is more like a concept for something much more complete that is yet to come.

Edge MagazineSep 8, 2022That speed and flow, ultimately, is a fantasy - one that's ever harder to appreciate when you're constantly being knocked off course by rockets. [Issue#376, p.104]

Aug 16, 2022A sleek skating hybrid with plenty of compelling ideas and some stylish presentation, but the longer it goes on the more frustrating it becomes.
-
Aug 16, 2022Rollerdrome produces some badass moments with its combination of X Games action and bullet-time violence, but it doesn’t replicate what made the OlliOlli games such Zenlike fun. Those looking for a challenge will find it here, but given Rollerdrome’s bland presentation, imperfect controls, and grueling approach to level design, many players will quickly skate on to something else.

Aug 23, 2022The craziness of trying to mix Tony Hawk with a horde mode from a random TPS works thanks to the talent of the fathers of OlliOlli. One of the hits of this summer. [Recommended]

Aug 23, 2022Rollerdrome is Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater with a gun, but it’s also a commentary on the capacity of violent entertainment to dull our senses to the violence in our actual lives. Good luck remembering that when you’re chasing an S-rank score. [Polygon Recommends]
