Sometimes it’s even better to leave snipers or mines around the level to always get a reliable source of extra damage - a skill-based tactic that’s only bested by the creative ability to trigger super slow motion off your own grenades. It starts as a useful tool that gains more importance as the levels tick by since it can quickly dispatch its toughest foes in one clip. Dodging is essential for survival, but dodging at the last second and aiming activates super slow motion where attacks deal more damage. Rollerdrome has more under the surface, which is where it gets some of its replayability. The game is designed to ensure that players have to use its systems together so they are forced to see it at its best. Tricks are generally simple - only a direction or two and a button - and impossible to bail on and shooting is straightforward, yet Rollerdrome excels when its two easy-to-grasp halves are used in unison. These two systems are intelligently constructed to benefit one another since flips and grabs yield more bullets which are then used to kill in various stylish ways. Doing tricks is also not only a visually interesting way to add to the score and show off, but they also refill ammo. Skating is a kinetic and nimble method of traversal and the constant forward motion naturally provided by roller skates means that players are always driven straight ahead and likely toward the danger. It’s already a unique mix of genres that’s worth exploring and only gets better when its systems start opening up and collaborating with each other.

The arena that sounds like it was directly torn from a 1970s film - which is also heavily reinforced by its overall eye-catching retro-futuristic aesthetic full of old analog tech - houses a sport where contestants blast opponents away while skating around. Rollerdrome’s title is derived from the dystopian bloodsport that’s at the core of its gameplay. RELATED: Interview: How Roll7 Released 2 Games in 6 months Without Falling Apart It’s about shooting as much as it is about doing tricks and that symbiosis creates some truly mesmerizing gameplay, even if it doesn’t maintain that high for as long as Roll7’s other skating series. The British developer has taken the essence of OlliOlli’s skating mechanics for Rollerdrome, swapped out the skateboard for roller skates, and given the main character more than a few guns. Laser League and Not a Hero had their quirks, but the excellent OlliOlli is why the studio is as beloved as it is. Roll7 is at its best when its games are, fittingly, all about rolling around.
