Rocket League Sideswipe is a competitive game that focuses on racing soccer. This game, which players can play on both iOS and Android systems, allows players to play with touch. Hit Accelerate to speed up your movement or use it to jump into mid-air and unleash your opponents with cool moves. Each match is only two minutes long, making it easy for players to play wherever they are.

 

In my opinion, the content of this game is very exciting and thrilling, allowing players to feel like riding in a car with a rocket. While playing Rocket League Sideswipe, it boils down to a busy game to its essence, downsizing while maintaining chaos. The main difference is that the game is played in 2D instead of 3D. Players are thrown into a small, open arena with goals on each side. They can drive and rocket boosts on the screen to get the most goals in two minutes. The player presses the button to create a joystick to move the player's rocket car. On the right side of the screen, two buttons allow the player to jump and boost. Those are the only controls, but it's all the game really needs. It's a simple solution that works well with the intuitive nature of touch. In this game, the fewer players there are currently three game modes: 1v1 duel, 2v2 football match, and 2v2 basketball variant. The single-player mode is an intense battle of skill and car control, but the two-player mode is the highlight of the game. Team dynamics are always easy to grasp by focusing on two-man squads. I know when to defend and when to attack, depending on how my teammates are doing. In Rocket League, your car zooms in a large arena, followed by a third-person camera. It's hard to know if a teammate is playing the goalkeeper, which often results in frustrating scoring with the opposing team hitting the ball into the open net. In Rocket League Sideswipe, players get a static camera shot showing the entire arena.

 

In addition, this is also a very perfect lazy game. Why do you say that? Simple controls and short matches make it the perfect lazy game for players to curl up on the couch and play. Despite being "streamlined" on paper, Sideswipe keeps everything players love about Rocket League in an elegant package. The matches are short shootouts that feel both chaotic and skilled. Even with a small 2D stage, players still found themselves able to make incredible shots that sent my adrenaline pumping. This is thanks in large part to the fact that the car can basically fly using the boost button, adding air control to my arsenal. Sometimes, some kind of accidents would also happen while playing the game. This causes teammates to lose all control and accidentally shoot the ball into their own net in some physically impossible way, which leads to laughter. The comedic side is still there, making it a lighthearted experience that never gets me excited. If the game gets regular support with new modes and cosmetics, players could see it become a staple of my mobile rotation.

 

However, this game also has some shortcomings of its own. I don't know if it's a problem with my smartphone. When I play this game, the button response of the APP is very poor and the delay is very bad, so sometimes the experience is not very good! Also, I'd love to play the game with my real friends, but that's not allowed because the game's matchmaking mode is random, which is disappointing to me.

 

To sum up, Rocket League Sideswipe is currently available for free on iOS and Android devices, and interested friends are highly recommended to try it out.

What is interesting in the game is that instead of controlling the ball by soccer players, the game uses cars to play soccer! Players can customize their cars with a variety of decorations. Your goal is to drive the car in order to make the ball fly into the net of your rival’s. Players will be able to compete with players worldwide and try their best to reach the top of the leaderboard. The game is quite efficient regarding its changes of a new round of gameplay every 2 minutes. If you don’t want to compete, for now, you can simply choose the casual mode in which you can try any maneuvers you like and it will not have a bad impact on your current ranking results. Moreover, the game can be played offline as well. Rocket League Sideswipe now has 314,974 reviews with 4.5 stars out of 5 on Google Play. It has no in-game ads or purchases. In the following section, we will turn attention to the advantages and disadvantages of the game.

 

On the one hand, the game is well-received among players worldwide. It is because of the following positive features of the game. First of all, the control of the game on mobile devices is quite intuitive, ensuring players a smooth gameplay experience. Also, the game provides players with a variety of customization choices in terms of cars. Furthermore, the effect of the graphics of the game is amazing and detailed.

Finally, there are no in-game ads existing in the game, which shows its user-centered principle and offers players a non-disruptive gameplay experience.

 

On the other hand, the game is criticized by some players due to the following reasons. To begin with, some players complain that the game is way too laggy, which strongly affects the gameplay experience of players. Next, the game crashes now and then, which is quite frustrating for those who are playing in the mid of the game. Last but not the least, the response of the keyboard is so slow that it takes ages for players to type words in order to communicate with other players in the game.

 

After all, Rocket League Sideswipe is a challenging yet innovative sports game combining concepts of car and soccer competitions. It allows players to make their own choices from a multitude of decorations in terms of customizing their cars. What’s more, the graphics of the game is colorful and well-designed. Both the single-play and multiplay modes are available according to the requirement of players. The control system is quite user-friendly as well. Finally, the fast pace of the game is quite effective and saves a lot of time for players. Meanwhile, there are still many problems for the developers to solve regarding the game, including the time lag existing in the whole gameplay process and the keyboard, and the constant crashes of the game in the mid of the gameplay. Anyway, the game is recommended to sports and car lovers and those who have plenty of time to kill. Yet, since there are in-game purchases available, those who lack self-control should be careful when playing the game in case of money loss.
