Strikers Edge is a superb medieval dodgeball game

You know how some games can put a grin on your face within seconds of playing them? Well, Strikers Edge is one of them.

It’s a local and online multiplayer sport that the devs have dubbed ‘dodgebrawl’: it’s all about chucking projectiles at your opponent while blocking and rolling away from the ones being thrown at you. I just spent 20 minutes with it, and I’m already prepared to declare it one of the best competitive multiplayer games I’ve ever played. It’s got me thinking about TowerFall, which sits atop the peak of fast-paced single-screen multiplayer games – so comparisons to it are made at the commenter’s peril.

I still need to play more, but I think this might be AT LEAST as good.
