Rollerdrome beautifully meshes two very different genres and defies all expectations coming into it. The style practically drips out of the screen as Roll7 delivers one of the most unique and exciting games in recent memory.
After the brilliance of OlliOlli World, Roll7 has outdone itself with Rollerdrome, delivering one of the most mechanically accomplished, beautifully executed, and unique arcade-style experiences around.
Developer Roll7 is known for being one of the very few studios out there keeping the flame of extreme sports video games alive. They are mostly known for their widely acclaimed OlliOlli titles, one of the few skateboarding franchises to maintain a steady release of games during the long absence of the Tony Hawk franchise, as well as Laser League, a flawed but innovative attempt at creating a combat-sport hybrid. So what would happen if you tried to mix the Tony Hawk vibe with Roll7’s pencha...
I kind of feel like, with the popularity of the skater genre and the endless appeal of competitive shooters, a game like this was an inevitability. It’s too perfect a combination to not work, and I’m just glad Roll7 got to it first with Rollerdrome. This is an exceptional and welcoming game, one that takes the best elements from both genres and combines them into a sophisticated and unabashedly cool experience.

In what is effectively Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater meets The Running Man in a war of attrition, full of guns and vibrant colour, Rollerdrome is a well-crafted arena combat-survival game set atop jam skates. Though as solid as the core loop is, the game is let down by a narrative that fails to measure up to the game’s pulsating setting as well as a disappointingly sparse range of arenas that you’ll see far too often.

A unique and challenging game that will keep you entertained long after the initial charm wears off.
As soon as the first trailer for Rollerdrome was released, everyone instantly started to refer to it as “that one game that looks like a Tony Hawk title, but with guns.” And while that description might seem extremely redundant to some players, it’s actually a pretty good summation if what you’re trying to do is get people interested. And it worked, at least it did for me and a lot of other potential fans.
A stylish, slick skater-shooter that'll give you a shot of adrenaline, Rollerdrome's sudden difficulty curve might put some players off, but it's rewarding if you stick with it.
So, anyway, yeah, Rollerdrome is Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater with a gun, but it’s also a commentary on the capacity of violent entertainment to dull our senses to the violence in our actual lives. Good luck remembering that when you’re chasing an S-rank score.
Roll7 blends genres with total mastery in Rollerdrome, one of the most breathlessly stylish and casually, outrageously cool games you'll ever play.
