Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure
Apr 08, 2016 10 years ago
Stikbold! is a single and local multiplayer dodgeball game heavily inspired by the 70's and its athletes. This is a salute to the heroic sportsmanship of the era, a time when tacky was cool and there was no such thing as bad style. Follow the story of world famous Stikbold athletes Björn and Jerome, team up with a dodgeball buddy in co-op team battles or charge head first into a manic free-for-all battles with up to five others. Get beaten in the area? Get revenge from the outside with disgruntled swans, hungry whales and one very lethal minivan.
What it’s like
Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure is a vibrant, retro-obsessed party game that reimagines the classic sport through a chaotic, top-down lens. Set in a circular arena rather than a traditional court, players engage in fast-paced projectile combat using dodgeballs and absurd environmental hazards like swans and minivans. The experience is defined by its irreverent 1970s aesthetic, featuring tacky fashion, bright colors, and a tongue-in-cheek tone that celebrates 'tacky cool.' While the single-player campaign offers a brief narrative journey through creative but increasingly repetitive scenarios, the game truly shines in local multiplayer modes. It prioritizes immediate fun and social interaction over strategic depth or long-term engagement, delivering high-energy, laugh-out-loud moments perfect for short bursts of play with friends.

Keep in mind The single-player campaign is notably short and repetitive, lacking substantial content beyond the initial novelty. · AI opponents can feel inconsistent, making solo play less satisfying than local multiplayer.
