▍Overview
“Rocket League: Sideswipe” is a standalone title that adapts the formula that made “Rocket League” popular among gamers. But instead of a third-person perspective, matches unfold from a side-scroller view. The rules of the game are still the same: drive the soccer ball into the opposing team’s goal.
Players will be competing with each other in 1v1 or 2v2 matches. The games will be fast-paced, 2-minute matches that you can play with friends nearby or online. The game also offers advanced mechanics, including vehicle customization and an online ranking system for competitive play. The game is free-to-play with in-app purchase available.
