They will begin by facing teams from other schools in the neighborhood (Initiation Tournament). This tournament will be very short, in which the player faces two teams, in an elimination round. They will go to a final which they will lose (we fix it so that it is so), but the team against which they lose will be disqualified, so they give us a place in the National Major League. Here we play, in a league format (although in a single game, there is no return match), against a total of 10 teams.
    The top 8 go on to play in the Play-Offs for the title. In fact, our protagonists set up an amateur team and, almost by accident, will find themselves involved in the most important world Dodgeball competitions. Now it’s time to battle it out in the arena to try to win the championship    … Expand

    Super Dodgeball Beats stands tall among the sheer glutton of Switch eShop games available, as a singular experience unlike any other; a fun, sports-themed, rhythm title backed by a virtuous narrative, and plenty of unlockables. A lack of online support and leaderboards will likely call time on this match before long, however.

    Super Dodgeball Beats is simple to grasp, challenging at times in uneven ways, but generally fun with a visual flair that is humorous and bombastic in a delightful way. While I’d have hoped for some different ways to apply challenge, it doesn’t become insurmountable and the narrow scope of options lets you focus on jumping right into a match. Even with some repetition in the soundtrack, this is another solid rhythm-based game on the Switch that you can put some headphones on and get tunnel vision enjoying it.

    Super Dodgeball Beats' manga-influenced visuals are sure to draw you in, but sadly aren't backed up by its middle-of-the-road rhythm action.

    A rhythm game with great visuals but too little to back them up. Dodgeball is just a theme here, and the action is simple. Well, at least music and visuals are nice for a single walkthrough and a few local multiplayer matches. Just don't expect too much.

    It's not really about dodgeball, and it certainly isn't super. And the beats are obscured and hard to hit most of the time. Don't let the title deceive you.
