To fit in with Epic Games’ policy that the loot crates aren’t gambling, items cannot be collected twice so that the better items are somewhat (if you keep opening them) guaranteed. Mystery Items are Rocket League Sideswipes answer to loot crates. I very much like each player having a profile that shows off their ranks as they arent displayed for each player after the game.I feel that Rocket League itself could benefit from this as it means there doesn’t have to be a tracking website or mod to see other players’ ranks. There is a second page that displays the names of the items used for the car’s customisation. Profile:Įvery player in Rocket League Sideswipe will have a profile that features their car design, their calling card and title, their profile logo and their ranks. The tutorial is played when you first log in, although it can be accessed at any point from the “solo” menu.Įxhibition and Freeplay are great opportunities to practice the game for players experiencing online lag during the tests and work the same way they do on Rocket League. This is a good move as the majority of players will already be used to this theming making it easily navigable. In terms of the main menu, Rocket League Sideswipe sports a familiar looking theme. For example, the airplay and boost control are all presented in a way that does not subtract from the overall gameplay. I feel the mechanics work really well in a 2D scenario and the key parts of Rocket League.

I have enjoyed my experience with the game having pushed up multiple ranks in all three available game modes and look forward to the full release when I can play competitively in a team of friends. Psyonix have stated that beta tests will be coming to different regions throughout the next couple of months.įor official information check out the announcement here Most content looks finished if not yet polished and the choice of a region-locked alpha leads me to believe most of the testing will be network-based. It’s unlikely the game will be pushed back to 2022 given its solid playable state in the alpha. The game has just entered alpha testing in the Oceanic market and is slated for a 2021 release. Rocket League Sideswipe is the official name for the mobile 2D installment of the SARPBC Series.
