Rocket Arena

Rocket Arena is a chaotic fun time with a lot to offer and a wealth of content on the way as can be seen above. The game will feature a Blast Pass with plenty of earnable season goodies (character skins, cosmetics, and other fun non-game affecting goods) throughout a number of planned seasons and more heroes, maps, and game modes are slated for the future. Rocket Arena doesn’t seem to have any esports plans in the works for the time being, as confirmed by Final Strike Games, but that’s not a bad thing. The team is focused on making the game as good as possible and offering a solid experience t...

Rocket Arena is a 3v3 hero shooter developed by Final Strike Games and it’s an EA Originals title that will look to bring in fans of multiple genres. The colourful visuals and ten playable characters are reminiscent of Fortnite, while their abilities are more akin to Bleeding Edge and Overwatch. Every character has their unique abilities, from Amphora’s aquatic mode to and Rev’s powerful proximity bomb. The character design isn’t as detailed and interesting as the aforementioned hero shooters but through the Blast Pass and additional DLC, they have the potential to look as interesting as they ...

Rocket Arena is a fresh take on the hero shooter genre with great gameplay mechanics and character design, but there are some minor elements holding it back from perfection

It feels a little content deficient at launch, but Rocket Arena is a solid multiplayer shooter that is almost something great, and hopefully, the developers get the chance to help the game reach its full potential. In the meantime, those looking for a fun new multiplayer game can't go wrong with Rocket Arena.

A fun take on a classic shooter weapon.

Rocket jumping was a skill I never quite figured out when Quake II was one of the biggest titles on MPlayer. By the time Team Fortress 2 hit its peak (somewhere before the addition of hats and alternate weapons), I started picking up some of the timings and skills necessary to get that advantage as a Soldier. Who knew that those skills I slowly built up would prove useful in other games, especially one where rockets are the only form of weaponry around. This is Rocket Arena, an EA Original developed by First Strike Games that aims to be a kid-friendly competitive shooter where no one has to di...

In the ever-shifting hero shooter genre, Rocket Arena makes a name for itself as the family-friendliest of the bunch without sacrificing its competitive spirit.

Rocket Arena is a fine hero-shooter with a novel twist on the formula, and I absolutely dig its "World of Tomorrow" aethestic, but unless it drops the box price and goes free-to-play the competition will knock it out of the arena; that's just the nature of today's market.

Rocket Arena is an energetic new take on the arena shooter that revels in and rewards skillful play with its projectile weaponry. There's breadth to the cartoony character line up, and while their varied weapons and abilities muddy the purity of the classic rocket arena concept, you'll quickly find a favourite and get to enjoy the frantic scrapping of the game's various modes.

Rocket Arena shows a lot of promise but a there is a steep barrier to entry with the small amount of content it offers right now.

First Strike Games's new arena shooter is briefly delightful, but it's unlikely to have much staying power.

It pulls from established ideas you’ve already seen elsewhere, and the one unique hook it puts at the forefront isn’t near stable enough ground for it to stand out.
