But I think Psyonix handles these in the right way. A lot of this can be unlocked just by playing the game, but Rocket League also incorporates a loot crate system too for additional items. Those cosmetic items are pretty varied, including various vehicle chassis, paint jobs, boost smoke effects, goal explosion effects, and even hats. The game rewards players for various things by granting points, which in turn will allow you to build your experience level and unlock tons of cosmetic items. Thankfully, matchmaking does a pretty solid job of pairing you up against similarly skilled players, and even those with subpar abilities can feel useful and knock in the occasional goal, or manage to save the game by bouncing back an opposing shot. However, over time, you?ll be pretty surprised at how well you get the hang of things. Mastering air control is pretty difficult, and at first a lot of your goals will feel more like luck than actual skill.

This is sort of the core appeal of Rocket League. The catch? Rockets! Your vehicle boasts a limited boost function that not only propels you forward, but when combined with your jump ability you can move upwards, rocketing and bounding around the arena in order to clip or tap a mid-air ball to surprise your opponent. The basic idea is that you?re playing soccer, with a large ball plopped into the center of the arena that you?ll need to ram your car into repeatedly in order to bounce it into the opposing team?s goal. You can face off against other players or the A.I. You control a small vehicle, the equivalent of a remote-controlled car, piloted through a large arena. If you?re not familiar with Rocket League, I?ll attempt to explain the basics.
#Rocket league for nintendo switch portable#
All in all, this is a pretty darn good version of Rocket League, and worth checking out if you?ve not played it before (or want a portable version). Even the online play is solid, with only a handful of instances of lag. Everything feels intact with this port of Rocket League, right down to the frame rate, which remains consistent throughout. Rocket League on Switch boasts the same great controls, addictive gameplay, varied modes, and the platform makes for a great portable experience.

This port is brought to us by Panic Button, the group responsible for the recent DOOM port on the Switch. Rocket League on the Nintendo Switch is an excellent port of the extremely fun and unique soccer (?) title from the developers at Psyonix.
