Fresh off the success of Pocket Hockey Stars, the spotlight now shifts to the vibrant world of volleyball with the launch of VolleyBall King on iOS and Android. This game injects a dose of anime flair into the classic sport, reminiscent of popular series like Haikyuu, making it a thrilling addition to the arcade sports genre.
Volleyball has always had a special place in anime and manga, often depicted with dramatic, almost superhuman flair. VolleyBall King captures this essence perfectly, allowing players to dive into the action with a variety of distinct animesque characters. The game's control scheme, as showcased in its trailer, involves swift movements, dives, jumps, and spectacular spikes, all enhanced with eye-catching effects.
The game features a range of arenas and minigames, ensuring a diverse and engaging experience. While the QWOP-like animations might seem a bit quirky at first, they add to the game's unique charm and enthusiasm. VolleyBall King pays homage to its anime and manga inspirations while offering a fun, arcade-style volleyball experience that's hard to find elsewhere.
If the superhuman leaps and spikes seem a bit over the top, the sheer enjoyment and novelty of VolleyBall King make it a must-try for fans of the sport and anime alike.
