rollerdrome is an indie roller-skating murder game by the OlliOlli crew out on Playstation 4, 5 and Steam starting August 16. rollerdrome is a single-player third-person shooter that has you rolling to your destiny on bulletproof white skates. rollerdrome is a shaken can of soda, exploding with color and energy, and I’ve been able to watch it to give you some hot gossip about what to expect and how to play.

In rollerdrome the year is 2030 and you are Kara Hassan, a promising newcomer to Rollerdrome. In the fiction of the game, “Rollerdrome” is a roller skating rink hunger games situation champions navigate enemy rinks with style and weapons, and it’s broadcast to the masses by a faceless but probably nefarious company bathed in viewers and dollars.

This story buzzes below each level, which gets more expansive and demanding as you complete the time and challenges it takes to unlock them, but rollerdrome is more about feeling cool than social commentary. Your character, Kara, has taken out a $342,240 loan to participate in the arena, and the flips, tricks, and multi-kills you complete for points and glory will keep your hands from washing completely clean. But hey, it’s all for entertainment. And to entertain youhere are five things to keep in mind for your future skate session that i learned while taking rollerdrome for a ride.

rollerdrome makes you feel good.

1. Assists are there to use

rollerdrome assigns an action to each part of your controller, B to roll, right bumper to shoot, X for tricks, and so on, and the defaults add a time limit and challenges to clear before continuing. Juggling all this on rollerdromeThe speeds of big rapids can be frustrating and overwhelming, and if you need helpdon’t hesitate to use the assists in the settings.

There you can change your invincibility, the damage scale of the game, add infinite ammo and infinite reflex time, change the game speed, remove the challenge barrier to levels and activate simple slugshots for the shotgun that you will eventually unlock.

Activating assists means your score won’t show up on the leaderboards, but still, they’re there to help you overcome the barbs of rollerdromeblood sport. They’re a smooth way to transition into the lightning-fast, neuron-radiating levels and master the details without any worries. That has been established, the rest of these tips will refer to playing without assists.

2. Try and try again

You probably won’t get the hang of it rollerdrome level on your first attempt, but you don’t have to. Each time you replay a level, the challenges you complete are saved and recorded. For example, you could dedicate one playthrough to grabbing floating gold tokens, and another to shooting five “house players” (bad guys) with your dual pistols.

You only need to complete a certain number of challenges to unlock the next sea of ​​levels, so remember that you can progress incrementally so that they feel more like benchmarks than barriers.

3. Watch the clock

That clock is a real bitch. Completing a level below par time will give you points, while being below the limit. Be aware of it in the beginning, but try not to dwell on it. Mastering the game’s basic level of multitasking: shooting a house player while doing 180 turns grab a melon sounds complicated and looks complex, but it’s the basis to rollerdrome– should be your first priority. As you become more confident in killing guys and grabbing melons, your par times will improve.

4. Shoot to Kill

Don’t waste your time with poorly calculated shots. rollerdrome offers you a charcuterie board with unlockable deadly weapons, and all of them require you to perform tricks and grinds to load them up with ammunition. The dual pistols are your best option for quick kills and the shotgun is a tough way to take down armored foes, but aiming for orange oil shells saves ammunition by causing a deadly explosion. You want to kill, not injure, because killing everyone ends the level. Killed enemies also drop green beads that restore your HP. Improving your health is a necessity in a game where snipers are shooting at you, people on the ground are shooting at you, rocket launchers are shooting at you and so on, but you have to get to where the health is dropped to pick it up.

5. Keep your skates on the rail

To kill efficiently, you must perform. That’s just show business. While a nose grab will get you a few bullets, it’s the more technical and time consuming way to get them. Grinding a rail or wall by pressing Y while near a compatible surface is fast and will give you bullets. To be extra efficient and aware of your free time, take advantage of rollerdrome‘s generous aiming feature and kill enemies while grinding on a rail or wall. It’s like drinking water while you pee, but it works.


So that’s what I picked up on my first stumbling block rollerdrome, but we’re still two weeks away from the game’s official release, and I still have a lot of cool flips to master. And you? Looking forward to tumbling around in the rollerdrome?
