Over recent months we’ve been eyeing up the anticipated launch of Broomstick League on Steam, with an envious eye leaving us hoping and praying that the 3-on-3 wizardry would come to Xbox One and PS4. After-all, it’s basically Rocket League but with wizards and broomsticks, isn’t it? Well, it seems like our prayers have been answered.
Available today on Steam, Broomstick League from Blue Isle Studios – they behind Slender: The Arrival, Valley and Citadel: Forged with Fire – pits players against each other in 3v3 matches as would be wizards come together for a high flying, trick shot scoring battle for supremacy of the skies.
Playing out as a competitive sports game, we wouldn’t usually be too fussed by yet another entry to the Steam library, but accompanying this launch we see Blue Isle Studios also confirming that the game will be coming to Xbox One and PS4. And that makes us very happy.
“Broomstick League brings the popular competitive sports genre to a world where wizards reign the skies – we plan to finish its development in Early Access with an already passionate community who joined us during our closed and open beta tests,” said, Alex Tintor, managing director of Blue Isle Studios. “It’s been exciting to see big name streamers and competitive players go at it in the arenas and provide us with valuable feedback as we’ve readied the game for this launch phase.”
In Broomstick League, players divide into teams and zoom across massive arenas atop their trusty broomsticks in an effort to grab a magical orb, outmanoeuvre other players and score a goal. Equipped with their wands, players must hone their flying skills and use magic to dodge enemies, defend their goal and make extraordinary plays. Players compete against friends online and use a combination of fast reflexes, teammate assists and magical spells in an effort to become the champion by scoring on their opponents.
Featuring endless combos of plays with no two matches ever the same, Broomstick League is all about winning, and when you throw in the added excitement of aerial competition via broomsticks and targeted spell casting, then well, we’re not sure there is much better.
Features include:
- Fast Paced Matches: Play 1v1, 2v2 or 3v3 with friends or matchmake online with opponents from around the world. Form the best team to dominate the arena!
- Reflexive and Fantastical Gameplay: Pick up speed while dive bombing to fly past a defender. Cast a spell on your opponent to blast the ball away or use the blink spell and teleport to a more favorable position. Well timed casting can make the difference between a buzzer beating goal or a soul crushing defeat.
- Character Customization: Personalize the look of your witch or wizard with a deep pool of creative options. Unlock new broomsticks, wands, and perform a variety of taunts and dance moves to rattle your opponents in the arena!
- Mystical Arenas: Experience high flying sports action within fantastical arenas brimming with magic! Battle it out with giant trolls lurking in the background or score impressive goals while floating on the back of massive flying creatures.
- Player Progression and Stats: Track your progress with leaderboards, stat tracking and player levelling system to prove you are the most spellbinding broomstick pilot in the land!
