Our take on Rocket Wars
The matches center on spaceship-versus-spaceship combat, with most modes offering free-for-all or 2-versus-2 play.
What is Rocket Wars?
Rocket Wars is a local multiplayer game for up to 4 players.
Each player controls a spaceship with its own appearance and stats, then battles the others using weapons and power-ups. The game has 12 ships and several modes: Deathmatch, Survivor, Nuke King, Spaceball, and Entangled, which is limited to 2-versus-2 play. Most modes support both free-for-all and 2-versus-2 matches. AI opponents can fill empty player slots when fewer than 4 people are playing. Sessions are structured as quick competitive matches, and the game assigns titles to players at the end, including both positive and negative titles. The vendor recommends controllers for play.
