Gyrodisc Super League Demo

Multiplayer sports are always fun and engaging, especially if they do not take too much time to learn how to play. As such, arcade flicks can get very popular quite quickly, as long as they have what it takes to keep the players interested. In essence, even the simplest ideas can thrive under the right circumstances, but the gameplay needs to be flexible enough to allow multiple styles.

Gyrodisc Super League is a fast-paced arcade game in which your purpose is to swing a disc into your opponent’s goal, while denying him the chance to do the same. There are a couple of special moves and boosts you can achieve as well, so every round can bring something new. Moreover, it can either be played one-vs-one or two-vs-two, which makes the experience that much more exciting.

To begin with, the rules are pretty simple: throw the disc into the opponent’s half of the stadium. It’s very much like tennis, only a lot faster and much simpler to play. There is a target in the middle of the goal, and you are rewarded three points if you manage to hit it. Otherwise, only two points are awarded. It is also possible to snatch a single point, but only if you lob the disc into the other half and it stays there for more than a few seconds.

To keep things interesting, each player has the ability to perform special moves, which grant extra speed to the disc, or cause it to take a random and hard-to-guess trajectory toward the goal. Not only that, but curved trajectories are a possibility as well, although it takes a bit of practice until you can pull off either of these moves. It’s nice to know that you can always get better at it, on the other hand.

Cooperative two-vs-two matches are possible as well, in which two teams try to best each other following the same rules as in solo rounds. As you may have guessed, this mode is most fun to experience with three other friends, although you can also play alone with and against the computer. Lastly, the graphics are not exactly flashy, but they are quite smooth and colorful, so they shouldn’t bother anyone too much.

All things considered, Gyrodisc Super League is not a revolution in the video games industry, but it takes an already good idea and makes it better. The mechanics work and they are fun, which makes it a real must-have for casual LAN parties and gaming nights.
