## About Knockout City™

Knockout City is a free-to-play team-based arena brawler developed by Velan Studios, released in 2021. The game centers on competitive multiplayer dodgeball matches where players throw, catch, pass, dodge, and tackle opponents across various team-based modes. A shrinking playzone adds tactical pressure to encounters while special ball randomization introduces strategic variety, as different ball types drastically alter gameplay approaches. The teammate-throwing mechanic enables coordinated plays and chaotic moments that reviewers highlight as a distinctive feature. Players describe the experience as competitive yet lighthearted and fun, with a nostalgic quality drawing from classic playground sports. The game received a 90% positive rating from over 3,700 Steam reviews, supports online co-op play, and is rated as playable on Steam Deck with a chill difficulty setting suited for short burst sessions.
