Bang-On Balls: Chronicles is an unapologetically chaotic and surprisingly polished 3D platformer that combines silly physics-based action with expansive sandbox-style levels.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer is a central part of the Bang-On Balls experience, allowing up to four players to tackle the campaign in co-op.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Blending humor, exploration, and combat, Bang-On Balls: Chronicles is far more than a meme game; it’s a legitimately entertaining and content-rich adventure that’s easy to pick up and hard to put down.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Despite the intentionally goofy art style, the game’s technical execution is impressive—textures are sharp, performance is solid even during large-scale battles, and load times are minimal.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The Devs listen their players, and added a bot to unlock multiplayer parts!
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The controls feel a bit strange at first (you’re literally playing as a ball), but after a short learning curve, they feel smooth.
