![]() Sportsball has all the perfect features of a great party game. I firmly believe that this is one of the best party games on the system, but unfortunately there isn’t much to it, so it can potentially get old quickly. There is also no online here, but I don’t really see it as a problem, as I believe this is a game that needs to be played with people around you, but it can definitely be a turn off for some. However if you play games with lots of different people, then I think you can get plenty of mileage out of this game. I can see it be kind of fun, but it definitely won’t justify the games 10 dollar price tag for those who don’t play a lot of local multiplayer. Unfortunately, the game’s single player is basically non-existent, consisting one mode where the player needs to score goals in to keep the timer at bay. Eventually, matches will divulge into whoever can pick Gigantaraptor first, since it’s pretty overpowered, but even with that, there is still tons of fun to be had. It doesn’t have the depth to be played in long sessions like Mario Kart of Smash Bros, but in short bursts, it rivals both of those games as some of the most fun on Wii U. Needless to say, this game is a blast with people. It’s an excellent package, that turns a game with pretty decent mechanics, into a laugh-fest. There is even some in-depth lore in the digital manual for those who want to take things further. Yes, these are all real phrases, and sometimes things can get crazy, so it’s best to view these in the replay mode. It starts at a pretty standard “Double”, or “Triple”, but escalates to things like “Mega DumpTruck”, “You Literally put all the balls in the goal”, and “Since the game is over, let’s grab some pop after the match”. When scoring goals multiple goals at once, the game will give outlandish remarks depending on how much you got. Silly stage names like “Neo New Hampshire” continue this trend. All the birds have very silly animations and character portraits that really emphasis the games charming aspects. The wide variety of birds are the stars of the show though, ranging from the tiny “Rhea”, the bad-ass “Cock-of-the-Rock”, and the humongous “Gigantaraptor”. ![]() The menu has an extremely corny, and down-right terrible theme-song with lyrics that will bring chuckles from the players, and quickly get stuck in your head. It is very clear that the primary purpose of this game is to make people laugh. The gameplay overall is a bit shallow, but it can provide a lot of entertainment with a good group of friends.Ī huge part of the appeal in this game comes from the charm that the game has. Me and my friends found ourselves picking the same stages repeatedly, due to the large number of sub-par stages. While there are a good amount to choose some, a lot of them don’t lend themselves well to the craziness of the game, offering too little room to work with. If there is one weakness in all of this, it’s the stages. All of the different birds also have different strengths and weaknesses, and experimenting with the cast of 16 avians is very fun. Players can pick teams to play on, and even do co-op missions, although that isn’t nearly as entertaining as the carnage of a good free-for-all. Personally, the “Explosive Chaos” mode is by far the best, but the other ones are definitely worth checking out at the very least. There are quite a few different modes that can be played, all of which have different rules that change things up a bit. With just two buttons and the analogue stick required to play, it’s very easy to pick up and play, which is important for a party game like this one. It’s absolutely crazy, but the learning curve is incredibly small. The main premise is that characters fly around on various different birds, trying to beat other players by attacking each other, and hitting balls littered around the field into the goal. The gameplay in Sportsball is very… unique. One of these games ended up being Sportsball, and it quickly became my favorite game out of the bunch. While I had bought it for the games I had heard about like Guacamelee, Gunman Clive, and SteamWorld Dig, there were many games included in the package I had never heard of. I recently purchased the Humble Nindie bundle, where users could get a slew of indie games for a very cheap price.
