Tape to Tape

I have a lot of fun with this game. The gameplay kind of reminds me of Hit the Ice (90's arcade cabinet game), just from a different POV and 3 players vs. 2. Even though I keep playing the same teams over and over the roguelike mechanics keep things fresh. I'm really looking forward to a full release.

I picked this up after hearing about it multiple times in Linus Tech Tips. The core skating, passing, and shooting just feels great, and the roguelite campaign plus all the dumb humor and references kept me coming back for run after run. My one real gripe is the AI, your goalie waves at floaters from the blue line while the enemy keeper turns into a brick wall, and your teammates wander around like they've never played a position before. It's early access and still a little thin on content, but the foundation is so strong that I'm genuinely excited for the season mode on the roadmap. If you grew up on NHL '94 or just want arcade hockey that's fun instead of a sim, get it.

insanely good

Tape to Tape is a very funny arcade-style single player hockey game. The game has zero rules which is absolutely hilarious and gives the the player an opportunity to use some interesting tactics. There are also different types of power-ups and skills for the characters which shape the game even more away from traditional hockey game. The game features a campaign-styled story-mode where you are able to challenge different opponents in various sports like hockey, football and golf. Still all of the games are played on a hockey-ring though. Winning games rewards the player rubber which can be used to purchase different skills and characters. The rubber can also be used to upgrade the stats of the main character. The campaign always restarts after a loss on an important game. You must then challenge the campaign again with the purchased upgrades and characters in order to win. The campaign is not that long to be honest, but the devs are working on a campaign 2.0 which hopefully provides more variety to the matches. The game is an absolute blast to play but gets pretty repetitive quickly, especially after winning the campaign. And with a constant improvements to the characters and after purchasing more powerful skills, the campaign becomes easier and easier each time. There is of course the option to change the difficulty, but at least I don't feel like increasing the difficulty would make repeating the campaign any more interesting. There is just not really anything else apart from the campaign to keep the player interested, which is a little bit sad. Well, there are achievements but grinding them is not for everyone. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the game and think it was definitely worth the cost. But don't expect the game to have content for hours on hours like some mmo. I think it took me around three hours on normal difficulty to complete the campaign. The curve-shot skill is seriously op!

very fun and addicting a refresher from FPS GAMES AND CHEL

I don't even like roguelikes and I'm having a blast. Always begging to play and have hundreds of more hours from playing on RemotePlay while friends host.
