Our take on Trivia Throwdown
The fighting-game framing may suggest combat, but the described activity centers on answering trivia and moving through ranks. The store text presents the fighting-game element as a style; questions and rank progression make up the stated gameplay.
What is Trivia Throwdown?
Trivia Throwdown is a trivia game built around a mountain-climbing challenge with a fighting-game style.
Ascent Mode has 10 ranks, escalating difficulty, and promotion or relegation between ranks. Questions cover nine categories, including movies and television, literature and fine arts, games, history, science and technology, and sports. The game has more than 2,500 questions, which do not repeat within a category until its question pool has been exhausted. Five difficulty levels and performance-based question scaling affect the challenge. Optional filters capture many American-focused questions and remove adult content. Play alone or in local two-player matches using two controllers or a shared keyboard. Progress saves after each question. The soundtrack features more than 20 electronic tracks.
