Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure

The best couchplay game since TowerFall. [June 2016, p.94]

There's enough depth to keep players coming back for more, but not enough content to recommend long play sessions. A completely ridiculous, albeit short, campaign also helps round out an enjoyable package. 'Stikbold' offers up all the fun of dodgeball with the added bonus of not getting smacked in the face with a large rubber ball.

Stikbold may not be your typical sports game, but it’s got a solid backbone of fun and wackiness.

Stikbold finally gives the sport of dodgeball a credible representation in a video game. It nails the simplicity and mastery of the sport while remaining fun and humorous, but it lacks online capabilities and is just a bit too short.

Fresh and frantic, Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure is a pleasant surprise, with moreish multiplayer and a beguiling, unique style that sets it apart in a crowded genre.

At its heart, Stikbold’s a fairly simple game of hitting people with balls, but it has a bunch of fun and silly ideas alongside that which turn it into a manic little party game to while away a few hours.

It's short and simple. [June 2016, p.83]

It is like playing Atari 2600 Combat with only slightly more depth. Not a lot here especially single player. No online. Gets old real fast. Real great polish and art. Pass. There are better local multiplayer games.

The game is poorly made and the mechanics do not function well. The story is the stupidest one I have ever come across, but I have to say, the game is super fun, especially when played with friends and bots! Yes, it gets quickly boring and repetitive, but you will spend many hours in local multiplayer and mini games.

It's a handball simulator kind of game. It has several different modes you can play, and there is a story mode. The game itself is nothing spectacular, and might keep you entertained for a weekend or so
