Rocket League<\/a> has gone mobile! The car meets soccer game has now got its global launch, hitting the Apple App, and Google Play, stores.<\/p>\n

Early signs are good, little-to-no aggressive monetisation, just a smattering of cosmetics and many are saying that the game manages to take all that frenetic, at times chaotic energy of Rocket League and distil it into a mobile package.<\/p>\n

There is much that will be familiar to players who have played the game before, there are key differences though and it doesn’t just extend to the control scheme.<\/p>\n

First, the game is played in a faux-2D camera angle, meaning movement is restricted to two planes (vertical and horizontal), and the goals are essentially turned on their side. Not quite reaching the ground but creating a long slit to hopefully smash the ball in.<\/p>\n

Sideswipe captures so much of what is great about Rocket League. (Picture: Psyonix)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It still offers Rocket League’s insanely high-skill ceiling, you can manipulate your car in all the ways possible in the mainline game; from dribbling to aerials, in fact, the only thing that hasn’t come over is demolitions, which, considering you are playing in a much smaller area, makes a lot of sense. What’s more, you can even play with a controller.<\/p>\n
