Love dodgeball? Love the 1970s? Love bromances between two guys who looked like they stepped out of Minecraft to model as tennis players? Then do I have the game for you…
Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure- from Danish developer Game Swing and brought to Xbox One by Curve Digital – is a bizarre ’70s-tinged take on dodgeball with a co-op campaign and six-player multiplayer in which you throw around all manner of projectiles (from standard dodgeballs to much weirder items, such as beehives and jellyfish) at your opponents in an attempt to become the ultimate Stikbold! champion and defeat the devil (nope, no idea either).
A product of the Nordic Game Jam, Stikbold! will feature:
- An action packed story mode – Play solo or join up with a friend co-op and play through an awesome Stikbold! adventure.
- Multiplayer dodgeball mayhem – Battle with up to four human and two computer players for six player local dodgeball deathmatches and fight to be crowned the Stikbold! king or queen.
- A variety of different dodgeball pitches. From public parks to deep sea oil rigs, each pitch offers a plethora of different dangers and challenges.
- The ability to manipulate match outcomes – Once knocked out, come back as variety of hazards, including angry Swans, Sand Sharks and more, to interrupt the match and affect the outcome.
- Funky fresh tunes – Fully licensed ’70s inspired soundtrack to help you get into the disco party mood.
- A crazy and colourful cast – Unlock and play as 18 of the grooviest playable characters from the Stikbold! universe.
Stikbold! hits Xbox One on April 16th.
