There are currently eight available in this first season with potential for more on the horizon.
When you start, you’re only provided with Crash, Coco and Dingodile (each representing one of the aforementioned character types) while the rest must be unlocked through gameplay.
The gang’s all here! From Tawna to Catbat, Neo Cortex to Ripper Roo, a tonne of characters from Crash games of the past will be available for you to play – so long as you satisfy their unlock conditions. Some initial expectations of a Crash Bash 2.0 (which is more Mario Party-like with a range of mini-games) were very quickly dashed, but this is more of a personal hope than anything the marketing had actually promised. At the time of playing and reviewing Crash Team Rumble, there are only Learn To Play, Practice Match and Competitive which is the online multiplayer component. While the many variables at play can keep players entertained for longer, it would be nice if there were a variety of different game modes as each level can start to feel a little repetitive. You’re able to continue to jump on enemies, break boxes and collect items with all of the endorphin-inducing bells and jingles we remember from previous Crash titles. For those who miss old-school Crash Bash, you’d be happy to know that a lot of the actual character mechanics remain the same. Boosters take advantage of Boost platforms, Relics and any other power-ups available on the map which can tip the scales in your team’s favour.Īn example of this is the Bandicootapult in Tiki Towers, which can launch you across a map provided you accumulate the require 2 Relics to jumpstart this station. Blockers are your tanks and foils, they can handle more hits than other character types and disrupt opponents on their way to depositing their fruit. Scorers are agile and quick, allowing them to quickly traverse terrain, grab the coveted Wumpa Fruit and swiftly return back to the bank.
You’re able to achieve this through whatever means possible whether that’s through the speedy collection, foiling your opponent’s strategies or leveraging any number of the map’s unique stations that can aid or deter a character in their goal.Ĭharacters are divided into three roles: Scorer, Blocker or Booster, which are all fairly self-explanatory. Players can jump right into this 4v4 action game which has a simple premise – the team that captures the most Wumpa Fruit for their Wumpa bank is the winner. It packs the zany excitement that we know and love from the iconic Bandicoot, however, a lack of play options and the usual gripes of forced online multiplayer games made this bite of Wumpa Fruit not quite as sweet as we hoped. While Crash is best known for his solo platforming prowess, this new entry into the franchise spins off into the realm of competitive team multiplayer and is one of the more unique offerings we’ve seen. Crash Team Rumble was released this year to much fanfare and anticipation, particularly from old-school gamers who grew up with classic Crash Bandicoot games.
