What Is Roller Champions?

Roller Champions is a 3v3 competitive multiplayer sports game played from a third-person perspective.

Likened to Rocket League, this game involves two teams that compete to score five points within seven minutes by throwing a ball into a goal.

To score players must gain possession of the ball and skate at least ONE lap without being interrupted by opponents.

Subsequent laps can be completed by other teammates by passing the ball to them. Players can earn more points per goal by completing more laps, though their progress will be lost when they are stopped by opponents.
