    Oddballers is a super fun little multiplayer party game that's got plenty of modes, lots of invention about its minigames, and a chaotic colourfulness that's hard not to enjoy. Grab some pals, boot into the couch co-op action here, and you're guaranteed a good time, especially for the asking price. However, be aware that in the immediate post-launch period, the online is a wasteland, a total bust in terms of finding a match. If you've got friends or family on hand to jump in, this is a great way to spend a fun few hours. For those who don't, well there are very capable bots to help you out, but the state of the online mode at launch is certainly an issue to take into consideration before giving this one a purchase.

    OddBallers provides what you’d expect—an odd collection of multiplayer mayhem. Despite user interface flaws, there are plenty of laughs on offer in this quirky affair. Just don’t play alone.

    OddBallers is a hilarious and highly wacky reinterpretation of the dodgeball game, with all the charisma it takes to be entertaining. However, it has many flaws that sometimes make it repetitive and boring.

    Oddballers is a fun, varied game with a lot of possibilities, especially in local multiplayer. The lack of optimization in the Nintendo Switch version, as well as the lack of character voices, makes it feel less cool and well-made than its predecessor.

The basic idea is really interesting and the many mini-games are a lot of fun at the beginning. The controls also make sense and are easy to pick up. Unfortunately, the graphics and long-term motivation are rather negative for the game and so far we can't give it a buy recommendation. Because the competition for "OddBallers" is also simply too big and you should rather choose another game of the genre for a party.… Full Review »

    The rounds are entertaining, even if some are too similar. However, default controls are unweildly but the game forgets any custom controls with each launch. The menus also take too long so you spend too long not playing.    … Full Review »
