Nino and Marie, journalists from the editorial staff of Numerama, are both roller derby players. They had to test the video game Roller Drama, released recently, supposed to represent their favorite sport with accuracy. Every Wednesday noon, we advance in the adventure. With more or less enthusiasm…
After years of preparation, the independent video game Roller Drama was released on Steam on January 26, 2023. On the border between narrative game and management game, Roller Drama presents itself as the first game that supposedly succeeds in representing roller derby in a relatively faithful way.
What about the facts? We decided to test for the first time Roller Drama live on our Twitch channel. But driven by our need to know more about this particular game… confusingwe decided to extend the adventure.
See you on Wednesday, during the lunch break, to see Nino progress in the adventure.
By the way, what is roller derby?
At the beginning of February, we learned of the feminicide of the player Magda (MK 47) from Limoges. The entire derby community is bereaved and deeply angry. A kitty has been set up to support his family.
Roller derby is a feminist sport, created by women and gender minorities, and it aims to be inclusive and militant.
Honoring him is no easy task, given how complex and relatively unknown this sport is – there are around 5,000 licensees and licensees in France.
Roller derby is a contact sport, on skates, which is played on an oval track (a track). Each match is broken down into rounds of up to two minutes, in which one person attacks and four people defend, on each team.
In Roller Dramayou play as a sports coach whose mission is to manage a team of five players.
