Nino and Marie, journalists from the editorial staff of Numerama, are both roller derby players. They had to test the video game Roller Drama, released recently, supposed to represent their favorite sport with accuracy. So, success or big flop? See you at 6 p.m. on Tuesday February 7, 2023 on Numerama’s Twitch channel to find out.
After years of preparation, the independent video game Roller Drama been made public on Steam on January 26, 2023. On the border between a narrative game and a management game, Roller Drama presents itself as the first game that supposedly succeeds in representing roller derby in a relatively faithful way.
What about the facts? We decided to test Roller Drama live on our Twitch channel. It’s this Tuesday, February 7, 2023 at 6 p.m. (just enough time to come back from the strike).
By the way, what is roller derby?
At the beginning of February, we learned of the feminicide of the player Magda (MK 47) from Limoges. The entire derby community is bereaved and deeply angry. A kitty has been set up to support his family.
Roller derby is a feminist sport, created by women and gender minorities, and it aims to be inclusive and militant.
Honoring him is no easy task, given how complex and relatively unknown this sport is – there are around 5,000 licensees and licensees in France.
Roller derby is a contact sport, on skates, which is played on an oval track (a track). Each match is broken down into rounds of no more than two minutes, in which one person attacks and four people defend, on each team.
In Roller Dramayou play as a sports coach whose mission is to manage a team of five players.
