Play Overview
Dodgeball Academia (2021) is a sports game that focuses as much on story as sporting action. You play Otto, who hopes to become the ultimate dodgeball player. To do this you need to build a diverse team and learn new skills.
Play involves exploring the campus, making friends and discovering rivals. Along the way, you take on dodgeball battles. These are three-on-three real-time challenges with a variety of different twists to the rules. Quests and mini-games extend the play to create that classic role-play experience all with a dodgeball theme. As you progress you level up Otto and his friends. You need to make choices about each character to ensure you develop a balanced team through the customisable party progression system.
The combination of sport and role-play isn't new (the likes of Golf Story or Mario Tennis games have done this before) but the campus setting and light-hearted visuals keep things fresh. The result is a game that invites exploration as you discover the secrets of the Dodgeball Academy across its vast, diverse, and full-of-life campus. Saved by the Bell meets Pokemon.
