Among its different mechanics, Rocket Arena undermines its primary rocket-bouncing hook by making the methodology unimportant. There are constrained enjoyably to be had with its quick and exciting shooting activity, yet it’s missing solid enduring intrigue. Meanwhile, those searching for a fun new multiplayer game can’t turn out badly with Rocket Arena.

Rocket Arena is a hero shooter that tries to make a mark, but doesn't do nearly enough to help itself stand out.

Despite the handful of enjoyable hours Rocket Arena has to offer, it's not an investment worth considering.

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 is a dull misfire that fails to compare even to EA's own Garden Warfare franchise. A few original ideas are lost behind a forgettable art style, small maps and questionable gameplay mechanics.

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

Rocket Arena is a very young battle arena shooter. It is off to a decent start, though the pain points of the game are blatantly obvious. Its intentions are to capture that Fortnite crowd with its personality but definitely falls short with its delivery in certain gameplay areas. There is hope for this game and I can see it succeeding with updates and expansions, but right now it's a tough sell when compared to its competition.

Rocket Arena is an enjoyable up-tempo experience with genuinely fun traversal abilities to keep you on your toes and moving to the high and lows of the arena. It's largely undefined characters and lack of meaningful customization options, however, hold it back from being truly memorable. It's a fun arena shooter in the moment, but it'll fade quickly from memory after you've walked away.

Rocket Arena streamlines the intricacies of one of the most recognisable weapons in shooters but fails to create a compelling competitive experience with it.

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.

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

While the concept feels fresh some of the strongest points of this game are quickly forgotten by the lack of content, I would hardly recommend it since I don´t see much content coming in the near future

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.

In the ever-shifting hero shooter genre, Rocket Arena makes a name for itself as the family-friendliest of the bunch without sacrificing its competitive spirit.

Rocket Arena can be quite enjoyable at the beginning, but its derivative gameplay and rather banal game modes cannot keep the player engaged for a long time at the current state of the game.
