Is Graveball worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who want team matches combining ball possession with melee combat
- Groups seeking local co-op or online competitive play
- Sports-game fans who enjoy unusual scoring rules and supernatural respawning
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a conventional sports simulation may bounce off the mix of possession play, basketball-style hoops, and club combat.
- Players who prefer uninterrupted control of one character may hit a wall when death changes that goblin into a ghost before a replacement is summoned.
- Solo players looking for a single-player campaign may find the multiplayer match structure limiting.
Our take on Graveball
Players who prefer conventional sports rules may bounce off the changing objectives: holding the skullball in a goal for two seconds, aiming at a hoop that appears every 30 seconds, and eliminating the opposing team. The ghost phase adds another break in direct goblin control.
What is Graveball?
Graveball is a multiplayer combat sports game in which teams of three goblins compete in a cemetery arena.
The match combines football and basketball elements with club-based combat. Teams score by keeping the skullball in the opposing goal for two seconds, shooting it through a hoop that appears every 30 seconds, or eliminating all opposing players at once. When a goblin dies, that player returns as a fast-moving ghost and can later summon a replacement goblin. The game supports online competitive multiplayer through dedicated servers and local co-op play. It also includes stat tracking, leaderboards, and unlockable masks, weapons, hairstyles, and taunts.
