Our take on Circle of Sumo
The focus on quick local arena bouts limits the game’s depth outside group play. Character choice is built around a small set of attributes, while the main variation comes from arena hazards and the included extra games.
What is Circle of Sumo?
Circle of Sumo is a physics-based arena game where players control sumo wrestlers and try to knock opponents out of the ring.
Matches support up to four local players, with the last wrestler standing winning each round; the first player to win five rounds takes the match. Arenas include hazards such as magma, sand, and hatches, making charging, striking, dodging, and positioning part of each bout. The game includes different arenas with varied layouts and pitfalls, plus five sumo-themed extra games, including soccer, hockey, and ice running. Eight selectable wrestlers have different sprint, strength, and acceleration ratings, while arena characteristics influence which wrestler may suit a match.
