Rumbleverse
SCORE: 62
I make notes of all the different games I want to give attention to.
Some of them are playing the game. Others are writing reviews, and still
others are writing some FFG Original article on. Rumbleverse is an
online battle royale video game that was around for a short amount of
time. I had it on my list to write a review at some point in time. Well
that point in time has arrived like the video series Temptations of Time
that we are running right now on our YouTube channel. I did a live
stream of Rumbleverse and played it again later a few times. Rumbleverse
never really impressed me.
The concept of Rumbleverse is actually pretty interesting and pretty
cool. Take the Fortnite formula and have characters do professional
wrestling moves on one another. This is right where Rumbleverse stops
being cool. The controls are questionable at best. I would come up to
another player and try to do a certain move. Guess what happened?
Nothing. If it was a bot they would perform the move on me after it
failed on them. They did not block or anything. There are different
power ups that can be earned in Rumbleverse. Plenty of players would
camp those to take out other players with the standard punches and
kicks. Why? Those moves actually worked.
There are different hazards in Rumbleverse that can help or hurt
players. We got a weird array of characters to play. There are all kinds
of things to earn and/or purchase in Rumbleverse. The glitches really
sent the player base out the door really fast in this online only video
game. I know plenty of other gamers that wrote Rumbleverse off really
fast. I was one of them.
One of the coolest things about Rumbleverse it people that were live
streaming it on the Rumble website. Rumbleverse got shut down and it is
just another nail in the coffin of online only video games. Rumbleverse
needed a physical copy release and a completely offline mode. If the
controls worked a bit better Rumbleverse might have lasted longer. Sadly
this video game goes into the heap and pile of online only video games
with only a digital release that will be forgotten. Great idea but poor
implementation.
