ShockRods is about shooting and avoiding being shot by jumping and dodging. ShockRods features solo and team games that take place in natural surroundings and future sports arenas. Your goal in ShockRods is to score points – by shooting your opponents and achieving objectives; scoring goals, stealing the other team’s flag, or dealing the most destruction… As you drive your ShockRod to VICTORY! CUSTOMISE YOUR SHOCKROD Want a fancy paint job with flip-flop paint and crazy pattern overlay? Check! Want to emit bubbles from your boost ports and make the noise of a chicken when you press the taunt button? Check! Want to explode in a massive pink skull shaped ball of flame when your car explodes? Check! ShockRods has all the customisation options you could ever want – and plenty you never knew you wanted till now! Use them to make your ShockRod stand out from the crowd, and choose from a whole selection of ShockRods as the starting point for your crazy customisations! GAME MODES FOR EVERYONE ShockRods features familiar and new arena based gameplay. It’s going to be very fast and completely furious fun as you take your pick from the following games (playable online against other players, or offline against AI bots): - Deathmatch – always a favourite, it’s every ShockRodder for themselves as you battle to get the target kill count first! - Team Deathmatch – like Deathmatch, but with some friendlies on your side who will help you reach that target tally of destruction. - Capture the Flag – another team-based game; head across the map to grab the other team’s flag from their base and get it back to your base. But watch out – the other team is trying to do the same thing! - ShockBall – like some sort of team based over-sized basketball game but with a giant metal ball and masses of explosions! - Golden Ram – hey everyone, go grab the golden ram attachment and use it to RAM everyone else while trying to hang on to it for longest! A BUNCH OF EXOTIC ARENAS ShockRods has a variety of imaginative locations for the ShockRodder to leap and shoot around: From the snowy perils of a precipitous abandoned mine, to the futuristic ball arena, taking in the pleasant vistas from atop the grassy summit of a summer mountain top, to the stomach-flipping drops around the dam and the mysterious malfunctioning reactor core with its pit of lava. GUNS AND GAGS There’s an armoury-load of guns and some crazy pickups that a ShockRodder can use to ruin his opponent’s day; from the chaingun to the grenade launcher, railgun to rocket launcher. Or use a special pickup on them, and give everyone a giggle; shoot them with the balloon gun and watch as they get dangled in space off the end of it, or encase them in an ice cube and slide them over a cliff! Bash them with a one-ton weight or fire a shield wall to stop them in their tracks! Set a trap that will spring them into space! There’s fun and games to be had while you’re winning at ShockRods! ## Key features - Vehicle customization - Multiple game modes (Deathmatch, CTF, ShockBall) - Online and offline play - Diverse arena environments - Variety of weapons and power-ups - Solo and team play ## Recent user reviews (10 of 51) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/shockrods/id1463754132/reviews.md ### 4/5 — Amazing! Could use improvement. *2023-08-06* This game me and my friends like, but we wish there was a way to play together. And we can’t play online because it says that we don’t have the correct account. Please tell me how to fix! ### 4/5 — Great Game, Could Use More *2022-12-23, version 1.5.5 (530)* As someone who has a hard time finding something reliable to play on my phone, this game sees to making sure that it’s not an issue. It works great with a DualShock 4 Controller, & runs pretty great, with many aspects from the Unreal Tournament Series. And as a fan of the 1999 GOTY Edition of UT, I find this game even more enjoyable. However, I’m realizing now that there are a few things that could be added; perhaps more modes, like Prop Hunt would be a good pick. And since there’s nothing you can do with the in-game currency after you buy all the car models & decals, there should be more added into that area as well. Not things like car or weapon upgrades cause that could screw up the gameplay big time. So perhaps add in more customization for the car models with options that could be bought with the earned currency? Like various fins or wings, or other options like that. All-in-all it’s a greatly made game, but it could do with a few additions to increase the lifespan of the individual users gameplay experience. ### 5/5 — THE BEST!!! *2022-12-12, version 1.5.5 (530)* When I was I kid I loved cars and stuff and this is just perfect! I just started and I’m a pro :) there’s no problems I just love it make sure to play! :) 🤗 ### 5/5 — Love it but… *2022-09-07, version 1.5.5 (530)* IT NEEDS MORE CHARACTERS AND WEAPONS ### 1/5 — I can’t even play online please fix👺🤬 *2022-06-08, version 1.5.5 (530)* OK I’ve been trying to fix this for so long even I get home I mainly just try several times to get this fixed and this Internet connection won’t even work try to play and I still have to play off-line all the time I can’t even play any one on the Internet I can’t even play please fix it please😭😭 ### 5/5 — Fun game *2021-12-07, version 1.5.5 (530)* Hi Developer, I really like this game, very fun to play. Smooth and good handling. However , there is less and less player now, hard to find a player i multiple player mode now. I think it is mainly due to some connection issue before. To regain the interest, I think we need a big update, add different type of vehicles, weapons whatever big! I really like this game, hope the developer don’t give up and continuously support this game! Looking forward for an update ### 4/5 — I can’t play online *2021-05-15, version 1.5.5 (530)* It always says multiplayer not allowed for this account. What do I do to fix it ### 2/5 — Local multiplayer - Fail! *2020-12-21, version 1.5.2 (431)* I’ve been unable to play 1v1 with my son. Both of us have gamecenter accounts. I can see him to invite him, but upon him accepting the game just hangs saying “matchmaking” indefinitely. This despite restarts, reinstalls, turning gamecenter off and on, etc. We both have new iPhone 12 Pro Max phones. What gives?? This is basically the purpose of the game :-( ### 1/5 — iOS 14 Update Broke Multi-player Party *2020-12-12, version 1.5.2 (431)* Multi-player (i.e. “Start Party”) doesn’t work anymore. It never finds a match when you invite your friends. We use to play every weekend — now no matter what we do it doesn’t work. Please roll back the update. This was an awesome game, our favorite!!! Please fix. ### 3/5 — Its a fun game but... *2020-11-21, version 1.4.2 (316)* The game is really fun to play, and I mean it, but the fps is extremely low, making it hard to shoot other players. It’s made even worse by the fact that the game is fast paced, so the game really needs to he optimized. Another thing is the lack of players online. I was playing on the online setting, but most of the time you’re just playing with other bots, with an occasional player. The game really has potential. ## Frequently asked questions about ShockRods ### What kind of game is ShockRods?
