Blast your way to Victory in Rocket Arena

If developers or publishers aren’t releasing a battle royale game, then your second guess would be a hero shooter. Considering EA already have the excellent Apex Legends under their roster, how about a hero shooter in the form of Rocket Arena? Which just so happens to be available to download on Xbox One, PS4 and PC right this moment!

Rocket Arena is a 3v3 shooter where each character is immediately equipped with the best weapon from the gun cabinet, the trusty rocket launcher. Each member of the diverse roster has their own unique launcher and abilities to make sure there is one perfect for your playstyle.

Similar to other hero shooters such as Overwatch, each character has a rich backstory and personality. They also feature a variety of customisable outfits to really stamp home your personality on the individual characters.

Rocket Arena isn’t just about shooting rockets at your opponents though. Firstly, these are non-lethal rockets; your aim is to blast your opponents out of the arena, but even then “Heroes Never Die!” as you can ride your rockets straight back into the action. And with a variety of game modes including Knockout, Rocketball, Mega Rocket and Treasure Hunt, Rocket Arena looks set to stand toe-to-toe with other hero shooters by launching with a larger than normal amount of content.

Arenas are as diverse as the characters too: Tropical ruins, futuristic utopias and more, there is a lot of differentiation in the world of Crater.

Rocket Arena is available to download from the Xbox Store for Xbox One right now, and comes in two different versions: The Standard Edition is priced at £24.99 and comes with the Epic Roller Derby Rev Outfit. The Mythic Edition comes in at £34.99, but comes with extra goodies:

  • Guardian Phoenix Jayto Mythic Outfit
  • Frost Princess Kayi Outfit
  • Cyber Sailor Blastbeard Outfit
  • Stone Temple Izell Outfit
  • Pulsar Megablast Trail
  • Fragment Return Trail
  • 1000 ROCKET FUEL

With both versions, don’t forget that existing EA Access customers get 10% off their purchase. You’ll also find the game on PS4 and PC should you prefer those options.

Does Rocket Arena have what it takes to take a slice of the hero shooters fanbase? Will you be giving this a try? As always, let us know in the comments, and keep an eye out for our upcoming review of Rocket Arena on Xbox One too
