Rollerdrome Reviews
Rollerdrome beautifully meshes two very different genres and defies all expectations coming into it. The style practically drips out of the screen as Roll7 delivers one of the most unique and exciting games in recent memory.
After the brilliance of OlliOlli World, Roll7 has outdone itself with Rollerdrome, delivering one of the most mechanically accomplished, beautifully executed, and unique arcade-style experiences around.
Extreme sports games used to be a genre of games that were all the rage back in the late 90’s to early 2000’s. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, Mat Hoffman BMX and Aggressive Inline to name a few, each having varying degrees of success. However, these games sort of died out, mostly due to over saturation of the market.
Rollerdrome is a roller coaster that goes up so that the tracks are finished just as you are about to go down it. It is one of those games that accompanies you through an incredible learning process. And just when you're ready for the best; just when you're ready to let yourself be embraced by him... it ends up leaving you wanting more.

Part shooter, part skater, Rollerdrome masterfully strikes a delicate balance as a well-executed, original and fresh mash up.
It may not be always the most accessible game, but this game from Roll7 stands out visually and presents perfect challenges for gamers who love to hit high scores.

Rollerdrome certainly has its issues, but the overwhelmingly chaotic action is fun enough to compensate. I continually found myself dropping back into levels to try and chase higher scores and take out my foes with increasing style. There are elements that could have been fleshed out further, but considering the scope of the project, I'm impressed with the results.
While both the gunplay and the tricks might be a bit simplistic, Rollerdrome nonetheless combines them into a fantastic mix of action gameplay that can honestly be hard to pull away from.
Impressive efforts with a few noticeable problems holding them back. Won't astound everyone, but is worth your time and cash.
As a whole, I can’t stress enough how impressed I was with Rollerdrome. Roll7 perfectly picked up two completely different gameplay loops and mixed them together in a cohesive and addictive title with a shockingly intuitive control scheme. It’s fast-paced, it makes you feel cool as hell while playing it, and it’s ridiculously addictive. It’s one of the perfect examples of creativity still looming in today’s seemingly tired and creatively bankrupt industry.
A stylish, slick skater-shooter that'll give you a shot of adrenaline, Rollerdrome's sudden difficulty curve might put some players off, but it's rewarding if you stick with it.
This deadly discotheque of a game is an experience for sure.
Rollerdrome is a unique experience with beautiful art design and smooth gameplay that somehow manages to combine two very different genres and still entertain.

Rollerdrome is everything fans of extreme sports and violent action games could want. The action is frenetic, visually delightful and incredibly fun, and there are few things more satisfying than stringing together various tricks and pirouettes while taking out hostiles with shotguns aimed at your head. There are some problems that generate occasional moments of frustration, and some decisions that end up not making the most of the concept of this game. But nothing stops Rollerdrome from being an experience as captivating as it is stylish, which is a delight to watch and to play in equal measure.

A unique and challenging game that will keep you entertained long after the initial charm wears off.
"Rollerdrome" is an excellent game in a genre that is now almost completely extinct.

When everything comes together, Rollerdrome feels incredible, but too often, things get buried under the weight of its many systems. While even at its worst, there is definitely fun to be had here, this feels like an incredible concept for a game where the developers needed to spend a little more time workshopping what aspects of it were really needed. It’s still a good game, though, and the foundation is in place for a sequel to be truly incredible.
A Sublime mix of movement and combat that somehow manages unrelenting action with skillful play, all while looking effortlessly brilliant. You need to get your skates on and try your luck in Rollerdrome.
Rollerdrome's unexpected blend of skating and shooting is a joy to master, backed by an arresting art design, thumping soundtrack, and a surprisingly layered story.
So, anyway, yeah, Rollerdrome is Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater with a gun, but it’s also a commentary on the capacity of violent entertainment to dull our senses to the violence in our actual lives. Good luck remembering that when you’re chasing an S-rank score.
