Curve Digital and Game Swing have today dropped new details regarding their upcoming Dodgeball adventure with new screens, a new trailer and that all-important release date being unveiled.
Coming to PC from April 1st 2016, swiftly followed by a PS4 outing on the 5th before its arrival on Xbox One come the 8th April, Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure will be priced at priced £7.99 / $9.99 / €9.99 across all formats, with a 20 per cent discount during the launch period.
A bonkers sports game, Stikbold! tells the story of Bjorn and Jerome who set out on a heroic mission in the name of love and glory, bringing stylish yet painful ball games to players of all ages. With a full single player or co-op experience in place, twin stick controls and a whole manner of weird and wonderful characters, it’s a fast paced game of dodgeball – one that is fully complete with off-court hazards, random events and boss battles.
“From game jam to console – it’s been quite the ride,” says Jacob Herold, CEO and founder, Game Swing. “Whether it’s been at PAX or GDC, everyone who’s had the opportunity to play early builds of Stikbold! has enjoyed its accessibility, playability and sense of humour – comparing it to old school multiplayer games like Bomberman. We can’t wait to get it into the hands of console and PC players this April.”
The main features of Stikbold! are:
- Single or co-op adventure mode
- Up to four player multiplayer matches
- 18 weird and wonderful characters
- 12 single or multiplayer levels spread across five incredibly varied dodgeball arenas
- Intuitive controls offer deeply tactical gameplay
- Inventive story mode takes around three hours to play through each time – though multiple replays will unlock additional content
- Highly customisable multiplayer modes – which can feature up to six players on screen (four humans, two bots) provides endless challenge
- Players always involved in the action – even if they’re knocked out of the game they can still influence its outcome
As is always the case, we’ll be sure to remind you when the big Xbox One day comes. Not long now!
