Critic Reviews for Knockout City
Knockout City punches above its weight as a complex and uniquely fun competitive brawler.
Velan Studios transposes the sport of dodgeball into what's a fun, friendly shooter that bears no arms, though it currently lacks legs.
Knockout City is a genre-defying take on the team-based multiplayer game, where players are not just teammates, but also tools and assets for one another. And although Knockout City struggles to find an identity, the game's ability to excel in accessibility while holding a high skill-ceiling makes it easy to pick up and even easier to keep playing.
Knockout City's fantastic spin on dodgeball combat has surprising depth, making it one of the best team-based PvP games in years.
If it wasn't for its awful art style and attitude that screams "look how rad we are fellow teens!" then I'd probably like it a whole lot more. But as long as it adds more content, I can see this gaining an audience with players who are really into over-the-top sports games like Rocket League. Just remember the five D's of dodgeball and you'll have a fun time in Knockout City.
Clever and unique dodgeball battles make this an easy pick, especially during the free trial.
At launch, Knockout City lacks in content, but it makes up for it with a strong base game and a ton of potential to grow in the future
Knockout City's surprising depth coupled with its approachable mechanics make it an engrossing new multiplayer offering.
