It has been a while since we checked in on Bang-On Balls: Chronicles, the ball-themed 3D platformer from Exit Plan Games. Last fall, the game graduated from early access and fully launched on consoles. There's more yet to come, though, as the Xbox and PlayStation versions are due to receive current-gen enhancements on March 5. Console gamers will soon be able to bang their balls on in local or online co-op with graphics at 4K and 60 frames per second!
Bang-On Balls is a 3D platformer in which country-themed characters roll, jump, and fight their way through expansive levels. It features:
- Glorious bouncy 3D platforming and combat with razor-sharp controls.
- Smash, dash, and steamroll around massive, highly destructible, open-world maps.
- Absolutely loaded with content. Fight foes, rescue allies, take on multiple objectives, uncover secrets, and collect treasure troves of themed items and weapons. Each map has its own unique mechanics, boss fights, secrets, items, and themes.
- Bounce around history as each map is set in an interesting historical era - Vikings, Pirates, Space Race or Feudal Japan with more to come as post-release support.
- Customize your character with 400+ items - flags, weapons, shields, hats, masks, tattoos, boats etc and all collected from playing. No paid cosmetic DLCs
- Up to 4-player online co-op and 2-player split screen. Seamlessly jump in and out of sessions with friends and keep everything you’ve collected.
