Barely have they announced Void Riders, the next extension of their OlliOlli World, that Roll7 and Private Division are back with rollerdromea brand new IP with a nevertheless obvious kinship with its eldest skateboarder.
In 2030, the competitions of roller derby have changed somewhat: practitioners clash with maces, guns, armored armor, and even legged tanks. In the shoes of an aspiring champion, you will have to face hordes of enemies in closed arenas, by chaining shots on target and choreographies in slow motion.
To stay alive, and to recharge your ammunition, you will have to stay constantly on the move, chain the tricks (the more complex they are, the more powerful our strike force will be), stun enemies to reveal their weak points and, ultimately, stick them a good bastos or a pomegranate in the sideboard. By dint of combos, our avatar will be able to return to “Super SLR Mode”a state of flow which will allow us to slow down time and greatly increase our damage multiplier.
If aesthetics, while cel shadingis reminiscent of a certain Sand, we feel above all, by the pitch and its very 80’s soundtrack that rollerdrome and its creators were influenced by the mythical film roller ballwith a comparable and equally visionary scenario.
Hostilities on wheels will therefore begin on August 16, on PS5, PS4 and PC.
