Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "Last November I had the pleasure to review a little game on Steam called Astervoid 2000 and for the most part really enjoyed it, so when I was offered a chance to review the fairly similar Rocket Wars I jumped at the chance. There’s just something and refreshing nice about taking a virtual step back in time and playing a game that manages to be fun and engaging with simple gameplay and without 4K visuals. But of course, when a game is as minimalist as this it wouldn’t take a lot for it to get derailed to before you jump in, make sure to check out our full review of Rocket Wars to see if this game is for you."
Great For A Party, Or The Family
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Rocket Wars is basically an arena multiplayer variant of Asteroids. It shares the seminal arcade game’s simple space aesthetic and momentum-based controls, and adds to them wild power-ups, several entertaining—albeit similar—modes, and support for four-player multiplayer. It’s a decent, approachable PvP party game that provides shorts bursts of frenetic fun but lacks the depth and replayability to rank among the genre’s best."
Neil writes: "For all the online experiences in the world, there is nothing better than hunkering down with a few mates on the sofa, controllers in hand and bragging rights up for grabs. It’s that draw of being victorious that has seen the local party scene flourish over many years.
Now though, there’s a new kid on the block and on the face of it Rocket Wars has all the necessary ingredients included for it to be a success. It caters for up to 4 players, and it comes with several game modes, a multitude of ship types, even more power ups and a ton of crazy weapons."
