Knockout City is basic on the surface but its core mechanics are able to provide so much fun that you may well struggle to put it down. If there’s one major takeaway, Knockout City is simple to learn, but very hard to master. It’s kept me motivated to keep playing as I always feel like I’m getting progressively better. There are already those who can pull off miraculous dodges and hits that would make your head spin. There is also ranked play across either team deathmatch or solos, and both are great fun and allow players to really show off the skill ceiling. You always feel like you’re working towards the next cosmetic or item. I really appreciated this and I think it will help the game in the long run. It has a battle pass progression of sorts but everything is unlocked through progression, with the option of a premium store that has some unique items. That’s because unlike a lot of its contemporaries, Knockout City is not a free to play game as one might expect from the premise. However there is a feeling that there needs to be more here to justify the price point of the game. That’s not to say they are bad, and in fact all of the ones available now are quite good and intricate. Map selection is scarce and one of the major complaints that I have about Knockout City. But then there are wilder modes that take advantage of specific parts of gameplay, like one where you can only use other teammates as balls or one where there are only specialized balls that spawn on the map. There is the core 3v3 team deathmatch and free for all options as you would expect. There is a selection of game modes, with rotating modes that change occasionally. This means there is a tense choice of deciding whether or not to go for the perfect shot at the risk of being hit. The catch window is large, but the closer the ball is when you catch, the faster you can throw it back.
It’s essentially a parry that takes some good timing. Crucially however you can also catch the ball mid-throw and then chuck it back at a faster speed. It seems like balls have very light tracking, but they can be avoided with the right moves.
Don’t be a ball hog! Passing can be the best way to catch a foe by surprise.You also have defensive abilities like sprinting and dodging. Start by mastering charged throws, perfectly timed catches, trick shots, and fakeouts before developing your teamwork to take down even the most intimidating opponents. It’s a place where you get to live out your dream of showing up with your Crew and throwing a bunch of balls at a bunch of faces.Įveryone in Knockout City rocks their own look, but this is a level playing field, so you’ve got to hone your skills with positioning, timing, and teamwork if you want to get ahead of the competition.
