    Fun, energetic and original, Super Dodgeball Beats on Xbox One delivers exactly what it says on the tin; and it does so well. You may blast through it in a few short hours, but at just £11.99 it’s well worth it.

    Overall, Super Dodgeball Beats is a rather fun and unique game that will bring out the friendly competitive nature in everyone, despite some criticisms regarding calibration and the diminishing entertainment value once the championship has been completed. This game creatively brings together all the essential elements in this genre to form a relatively distinctive and memorable gaming experience.

    It might not be the best rhythm game out there, but there’s no arguing that Super Dodgeball beats is pretty fun. Its frustrating power-up system and troublesome timing lets it down somewhat, but it’s still worth playing thanks to its brilliant soundtrack, wonderful character design and delightful visuals.

    So when I first saw the trailer for Super Dodgeball Beats, I was so incredibly confused. I saw the gameplay in the trailer but has no clue what was even happening aside from the fact that it was indeed a rhythm game of Dodgeball and quite honestly, that kinda sounds super fun so this was an interesting game to give a try.

    So SDB is an indie title that in a nutshell is the most anime a game of dodgeball can get. I mean this in a good way of course. Single player consists of a team trying to become Dodgeball champions, playing against many themed teams. The first thing i couldn’t help but notice but how great the production value is for this game. The art style looks great, the game plays super well, and the music is well done too. I haven’t played too many rhythms games and this was a treat in all honesty.

    I honestly forgot that I really love rhythm games so I loved this in spadefuls.

    Pros: super vibes original music, easy to pick up, impressive high production for an indie title

    Cons: the dodgeball part my confuse players but the idea works well for the game it is.

    Overall: it’s Great, I love it, I’m excited to play
    More of it. I vibe hard on rhythm games so this was a pure treat. I’d pick this up if I were you.

    My rating: 9/10    … Expand

    Super Dodgeball Beats has enjoyable visuals and music, distractions aside. If not for the majority of Super Dodgeball Beats‘ gameplay woesSuper Dodgeball Beats has enjoyable visuals and music, distractions aside. If not for the majority of Super Dodgeball Beats‘ gameplay woes arising from its visual obstructions, I’d be totally comfortable giving it a higher review score. The art style and animation convey a lot of personality. Its comic scenes are bare-bones, existing in black and white rather than being colored in for what I imagine are stylistic reasons, but the level of visual polish is otherwise on par with the most artistically-minded indie studios. The music in Super Dodgeball Beats is also really good. I didn’t think that was the case at first, with the title music possessing a certain tinny quality that I found unpleasant (which I’m confident has something to do with a down-sampler on one of the instruments), but the high-energy dance music is paired with specific opponents in interesting ways. For example, a Tengu is paired with music that, while still electronic, is recognizably Japanese-inspired. The vampire opponent, meanwhile, features howling and a synth lead with theremin-inspired vibrato. Overall this is entertaining game for the price of admission on Xbox One.… Expand
