Dodge Barrage is a chaotic dodgeball party game. Use quick reflexes and aggressive plays to throw, dodge, and parry your way to victory. Play with up to four players either locally or online.
Inspired heavily by fighting games, every move in your kit has an equivalent counterattack.
- Spike a ball from above to give your opponents less time to react.
- Catch a ball out of the air to instantly refill your Special Meter.
- Charge a throw to threaten the whole field and unleash a surefire attack.
- Parry a throw in mid-air with your own throw.
- Bounce a throw off the wall for a surprising mix-up.
- Dash away from incoming attacks.
- Tackle the ball out of your opponent’s hands.
Key Features

- Online and Local Multiplayer. Join up to 4 players in chaotic sports action. Built with rollback netcode.
