Dodgeball Academia is a sports RPG game featuring rookie dodgeball student, Otto. Join Otto and an eclectic cast of characters as they train to dominate on and off the courts of the academia.
The core gameplay loop involves progressing through the game's story, which is structured around "episodes", while also taking on various side quests and challenges to level up your characters and improve your dodgeball skills.
Players must quickly dodge incoming balls while also trying to hit their opponents. Each character has a unique set of abilities, including different types of throws, charge shots, and special "Balltimate" moves. The controls for throwing, catching, and evading balls are responsive and intuitive, allowing players to quickly get the hang of the fundamentals. However, factors like character positioning, ball types, and environmental hazards add meaningful complexity to the gameplay.
Players can freely swap between their team of three characters during matches, taking advantage of each one's unique strengths and synergies. Carefully coordinating these abilities during the chaos of a match is crucial to success. For example, a player might have a character focused on powerful throws, another on adept catching, and a third on evasive maneuvers.
The game features a character progression system that allows players to level up their team and unlock new abilities. This includes equipping characters with different gear and consumables that provide stat boosts and special effects. The wide variety of unlockable skills, moves, and equipment creates a satisfying sense of progression and customization, enabling players to tailor their team to their preferred playstyle.
The core gameplay is easy to pick up, with the tutorial doing an excellent job of explaining the basics. However, the game gradually introduces new mechanics and increasingly difficult opponents, creating a sense of mastery and accomplishment as the player's skills improve. Additionally, the game includes a difficulty slider that allows players to adjust the challenge level to their liking.
