Review analysis summary (Reviewed Oct 31, 2026)

Players' verdict on this arcade hockey roguelite is loud and happy, and it scores 87.5, top 30% of games we analyzed.

👍 Strengths

263 reviews find it fun and highly recommend it, and some single out the new campaign. 28 enjoy playing together with friends, with the most upvoted pointing to fun moments with its retro team. 27 praise strong replay value from the roguelite structure and achievements. Content Volume ranks 124th of 1351, Gameplay ranks 245th of 1396, and Tech & Support ranks 47th of 1399.

👎 Where it falls short

23 reviews dislike the control of players on the ice, with some blaming the player swap system and others poor positioning by AI teammates. 22 find the balance off, and some say their own goalie is weak while opposing goalies make huge saves. A few add that one upgrade can win a run on its own. 16 say the injury system is too punishing and that difficulty rises sharply, while some find defense unclear. Others hope upcoming campaign changes in the beta will fix much of this.
