Summary

Built for fans of fast, combo-driven play, OddBallers is a chaotic dodgeball brawler that blends Action, Casual, and Comedy with tight, skill-based mechanics. Developed by Ubisoft and Game Swing and released January 26, 2023, it layers party-game unpredictability over systems that reward precision. Matches hinge on spacing, parry windows, and invincibility frames during slides and throws, while environmental hazards act like stage traps in Beat em up games. Frame data differences between light lob, charged curve, and dash-cancel throws enable expert-level mixups, feints, and whiff punishes. On PC, keyboard or controller inputs feel responsive for competitive timing and consistent tech. Mini-modes iterate on core rules with hazard variance, demanding rapid adaptation, team composition choices, and mastery of map knowledge. For readers browsing Action game reviews or searching for Casual games like Fall Guys, this is a playful yet technical ruleset with surprising depth and high skill expression.
