Play OverviewPlay Overview

Dodgeball Academia (2021) is a sports game that focuses as much on story as sporting action. You play Otto, who hopes to become the ultimate dodgeball player. To do this you need to build a diverse team and learn new skills.

Play involves exploring the campus, making friends and discovering rivals. Along the way, you take on dodgeball battles. These are three-on-three real-time challenges with a variety of different twists to the rules. Quests and mini-games extend the play to create that classic role-play experience all with a dodgeball theme. As you progress you level up Otto and his friends. You need to make choices about each character to ensure you develop a balanced team through the customisable party progression system.

The combination of sport and role-play isn't new (the likes of Golf Story or Mario Tennis games have done this before) but the campus setting and light-hearted visuals keep things fresh. The result is a game that invites exploration as you discover the secrets of the Dodgeball Academy across its vast, diverse, and full of life campus. Saved by the Bell meets Pokemon.

Content Rating

Rated PEGI 7 because it features non-realistic violence in a child-friendly setting or context. The dodgeball matches that occur throughout the game feature mild violence. This violence is cartoonish but high in intensity. Characters show a health bar that depletes when they are hit by a dodgeball. There are hit sound effects, cartoony explosions and numbers that indicate damage. Characters can fly upwards, be knocked backwards, or be knocked out. Reactions are unrealistic. When a player's health is depleted, they move to the side of the court or the match simply ends. There is some very mild bad language, including 'darn it', 'get your butts moving' and 'screw it up'.
