00:28RATED T for Teen
00:32Speedball is a fast-paced, high-octane, and brutal sports game.
00:37Originally developed by the Bitmap Brothers for the Amiga,
00:40this new version modernizes the graphics and gameplay
00:43to bring this classic series to a new audience.
00:47At its core, Speedball is a battle between two teams fighting to outscore one another,
00:53most commonly by getting the ball into the goal.
00:56However, there are other opportunities that can be just as effective.
01:01Speedball rewards aggression just as much as precision.
01:05Slamming into opposing players deals damage,
01:07and if you inflict enough pain, you'll trigger a slow-motion, brutal takedown.
01:13Pull it off, and you'll earn the same points as a standard goal,
01:17proving that in Speedball, violence is just as effective as finesse.
01:21The 6v6 matches fly by as you fight to score, destroy your opponent, and claim victory.
01:29Speedball matches can take place across various arenas,
01:33each with its own unique layouts and characteristics that shape how you score against your opponent.
01:40There are several game modes available in Speedball, so let's break them down.
01:44Starting with Quick Play, you can face off against a computer opponent at the difficulty setting of your choice,
01:51invite a friend over the internet on the same platform,
01:54or play with someone next to you on the couch in Local Play.
01:57This mode allows you to fully customize your matches.
02:01Once you have chosen your teams and arena set, you can customize the settings for the match.
02:05You can adjust the time limit, change it to be based on a certain score reached,
02:10edit how much damage tackles do,
02:13and even customize if you want the ability to jump, sprint, dash, wall run.
02:18Those looking for a more traditional Speedball experience should pay close attention to these settings.
02:27Next is League Mode.
02:28This single-player mode has you facing off against nine other teams
02:33in a total of up to 19 matches to see who can become the league champion.
02:38Each team also has a skill rating that determines the challenge you'll face.
02:43Whether you choose an elite squad or a group of misfits,
02:46true success comes down to you and how you use them on the arena floor.
02:51Paying close attention to your player stats is key to victory,
02:55as injuries can take your best players out and make the matches even more difficult.
03:01For more details on League Mode, we will be doing a deep dive into the mechanics in a later video.
03:06Lastly, there is Online Play.
03:09This is where you can create a custom team with your own unique name,
03:13armor style, colors, logo, and home arena.
03:17More customization options can be unlocked through various online challenges
03:21or by winning in League Mode with different teams.
03:25Compete against other players to climb the ranks, prove your skill,
03:29and face opponents matched to your level as you fight for online dominance.
03:35There are 12 teams you can play as in Speedball outside of your custom online team.
03:41Each one has its own trait and main tactic.
03:45The tactics are the formations you can take in a match of Speedball.
03:49For example, the Blockade tactic is a defensive setup that has more players near the goal
03:55to prevent the other team from scoring easily.
03:58Counter-Attack is designed to absorb pressure from the opposing team
04:02and turn it back around to score goals.
04:05Balanced is the perfect middle ground for offense and defense.
04:09Pass and Run is for keeping the ball in motion with short,
04:13quick passes between teammates and keeping it away from your opponent.
04:17Lastly, the Blitz tactic is all about aggression and overwhelming the other team
04:22with more players up front.
04:24Some of these include immunity to frost or fire while also getting a boost from them,
04:30increased movement speed,
04:31and increased shot strength after certain conditions are met.
04:35If you are someone who played the original Speedball games,
04:39then you will be very familiar with the teams available.
04:42Most of them are returning from Speedball 2 with a few new additions.
04:47One might look familiar if you are a big 2000 AD comics fan,
04:51and Miss Snuffle's Piglets,
04:53which is an ice cream vendor-sponsored team that even has its own themed arena.
04:56There are 21 different arenas in Speedball that you can choose from,
05:02each with its own unique elements.
05:04Seven of them also have a brutal variant,
05:07which adds even more elements and brings the total to 28.
05:11These arenas are separated into three categories,
05:15point enhancers, mobility, and damage.
05:19For point enhancers,
05:20multiplier hoops give the next goal double the points for a short duration.
05:24Stars can give you extra points by lighting up all of them on the opponent's side of the field.
05:30Rebound bumpers give you additional points based on how many times you use the bumper.
05:35For mobility,
05:36warp gates let you teleport the ball to another side of the arena,
05:40bounce pads let you jump higher,
05:42pillars can be used for wall running in a circle or as a ricochet point,
05:47and grind rails allow you to slide your way around the arena in style with a boost of speed.
05:52Some of the other mobility elements can also cause damage or impair players in various ways.
05:59Thumpers are similar to pillars,
06:01with the exception of a thumping shockwave being put out every few seconds that can knock down anyone too close.
06:09Killtech tripwires will send a mine toward players that explodes when it gets close to them.
06:14Ice floor grates and turrets have a slowdown effect if a player gets hit with a blast or steps on
06:21the grate.
06:21For damage,
06:23spinning hammers will knock down anyone who gets too close.
06:27Ball electrifiers will cover the ball with lightning and electrocute the next three players who touch it.
06:33Finally,
06:34fire turrets and grates will set players on fire,
06:38dealing damage and making them difficult to control.
06:42There's a lot to experience in speedball.
06:45Take on your friends and destroy them with goals,
06:48brutal takedowns,
06:50and alternative scoring through arena stars.
06:52Master every team and fight your way to becoming the league champion.
06:58Battle other players online and come out on top.
