Rocket Arena is a fun and innovative game with a big monetization problem. Due to the lack of players, the game is burdened by a long times of matchmaking system and the absence of competitive modes. In addition, it does not contain a large number of maps and you will even find a paid battle pass in it.

Rocket Arena exploded onto consoles and PC in early July, although you may not have felt the shockwave. EA released this new 3v3 online shooter with very little fanfare. I think I saw maybe two adverts for the game during its month of release. It may have had a short fuse but does Rocket Arena pack enough punch to make you take shelter?

A mish mash of concepts from other games, Rocket Arena does nothing to warrant the price tag, and doesn't deliver enough to make it an enticing free-to-play option. A good base, only time will tell if they can develop it further.

Rocket Arena shows that there's more to multiplayer shooters than just military sims and battle royale games. Unfortunately, the unappealing progression rewards and lack of engaging content limit its potential.

Rocket Arena shows a lot of promise but a there is a steep barrier to entry with the small amount of content it offers right now.

Rocket Arena has got all the elements to offer a pleasing multiplayer hero shooter experience, with nice characters, colorful and varied maps and a good base gameplay loop. It still needs some improvements though, especially in controls and usability and with more original modes.

Final Strike Games' first title excels at short-lived fun, but monetization practices & current imbalances eventually cause engine burnout.

There are many qualities that make up Rocket Arena: beautiful visuals, funny characters, several different game modes and, above all, a dynamic and competitive combat system. The theme centered on rockets, bombs and explosions is original and well used. Despite having some problems to find online matches, the title is a great option for those who want a light and fun shooter.

EA's rocket launcher brawler game might look unique and fun until you look a bit closer. Its repetitiveness and long waits into matchmaking are not gonna hold you in the edge of your seat. Almost certainly not when it comes to its €30 price.

Rocket Arena has a great number of customization settings and can be fun when played with friends. However, the lack of character's immersion, issues with matchmaking and expensive prices to buy the coins with real cash, take away the coolest part if you want to play it in an uncommitted way.

Rocket Arena is a good game, a good shooter, but it suffers from what could be considered essential within the genre in which it is included. This does not mean that it is not a fun and totally enjoyable game.

For younger gamers (and their parents), Rocket Arena is a decent entry in the team-based shooter genre. It won't hold much lasting appeal to older players, but kids will likely have fun for a while.

A fun unusual action game which would easily become a hit thanks to its fresh ideas and engaging gameplay mechanics. But it's hard to predict its future because of the price it currently has.

This game offers a lot for the relatively low price tag, and free updates are on the way. With reoccurring updates, you’ll always have more content to look forward to. Do yourself a favor and pick up Rocket Arena.

Rocket Arena is an admirably light-hearted shooter that soars when it comes to characters. The roster is full of versatile playstyles and memorable personalities that will draw you in, and the addicting gameplay could keep you there if you can get behind the floaty but satisfying combat. While the lack of content and underwhelming multiplayer suite doesn’t fully justify it not being free-to-play at the moment, things will only get better with time, and, fundamentally, Rocket Arena’s launch is worth the force of its trajectory.

A fun, good-looking hero shooter, but due to the lack of content and some weird design choices it might not have the chance to reach its full potential before it dies.

Rocket Arena is a fresh approach on 3-v-3-multiplayer. Rocket-jumping and bazooka-shooting is enjoyable for a short amount of time. Yet again, the cartoony artstyle and the lack of content hurt the overall experience.

As I played Rocket Arena, my enthusiasm for its gameplay drained while the sterile nature of it all gradually reared its ugly head. There's certainly some fun to be had but you likely won't enjoy it for as long as its genre competitors.

Rocket Arena is a clean, polished arena shooter. However, the novelty evaporates quickly despite its ostentatious candy coating
