“Overall: 8/10 Story: There's no narrative of any kind whatsoever. This game disregards any kind of story and instead places it's focus all-in on classic arcade-style gameplay built strictly around 3v3 tournaments, all without trying to tell a cheesy story or justify why there…”

“Arcade basketball with a lot of depth and a fair amount of skill/teamwork required. Best part of it is that defense is very strong so offense has to find creative ways to score. No need for a campaign, just wish it had local multiplayer.”

“Needs more Camera Angles, Offline practice modes, More playable characters etc. etc. It's unacceptable for a game to release without Key bind customization as well. Feels F2P while being the price of a AA developer. Fun with friends but not worth it for the average person. 3/10”
