User reviews

Boring and 0 depth to the game

Gets old after 30 seconds. Is not rugby and is not fun

Response from developer

Thanks for trying it, Matt. It's an arcade love letter to rugby rather than a sim. If you ever try it again, Career and the tournaments are where it gets deeper, with a world ranking your results move.

Good

Good game very addictive but it would be nice if you could play quick matches with club teams too and not just international sides

Response from developer

Thanks so much, glad it's got you hooked! Club teams in Quick Match are on our roadmap. In the meantime, Career mode has its own league of 20 clubs to play with.

Utterly mundane

Very mundane, appreciate the effort but this feels like a 14yr old’s school project

Response from developer

Thanks for giving Pixel Rugby a go, and for the honest feedback. The simplicity is deliberate: the aim is quick, casual rugby you can play with one hand, and that same simple core is what lets it run on Apple TV with just the remote, and soon on Apple Watch. If you only played the Endless Runner, there's more depth behind it: Quick Match against 100 nations, two full free tournaments and a club career. I'd love to hear what would make it more fun for you at support@pixelrugby.com.

Very fun to play

It’s back to basics! Easy to understand. Fun to play. Hard to master!

Response from developer

Glad you’re enjoying it! We have a bunch of new features on the horizon!

Great and entertaining

Great fun playing it, the different speeds of the tacklers makes it entertaining and unpredictably fun

Response from developer

Thanks for playing! A bunch of new features are on the horizon!
