Knockout City devs say the game is "enormously complex"

Knockout City is an online-focused dodgeball game, and the debut trailer makes it seem like a supercharged version of the game we all know and love. If you're worried that might make it a bit shallow, the developers want to assuage your fears.

In an interview with Polygon, Guha Bala, Velan’s co-founder and president, said the game might be easy to pick up, but it's going to take awhile to master everything.

“Because dodgeball is the inspiration, we get to play with multiple balls in the scene. There are very few moves, but it’s enormously complex in terms of layers, which allows you to really go through that kind of cycle of introduction, practice, and mastery,”
