Rocket Arena is a 3v3 hero shooter developed by Final Strike Games and it’s an EA Originals title that will look to bring in fans of multiple genres. The colourful visuals and ten playable characters are reminiscent of Fortnite, while their abilities are more akin to Bleeding Edge and Overwatch. Every character has their unique abilities, from Amphora’s aquatic mode to and Rev’s powerful proximity bomb.

Rocket Arena is yet another offering in the world of third-person hero shooters, a 3v3 experience with several modes that all involve the same core concept: You blast the other team with salvos of rockets!

You better have to choose if it’s worth spending your spare cash, because it might not be the game for you and it might be for others.

Final Strike Games' first title excels at short-lived fun, but monetization practices & current imbalances eventually cause engine burnout.[Note: Although it's standard to inform readers when I've received a review code, this is new territory for [...]

I love that we're at the stage now where family-friendly competitive shooters are a thing. Between the paint splattering Splatoon, the build and survive
