505 Games and Roll7 unveil Laser League arcade multiplayer game

Indie game publisher 505 Games has teamed up with developer Roll7 on Laser League, a colorful multiplayer arcade-style game that reminds me of Tron.

The game is a four-versus-four online or local multiplayer title where you have to avoid getting sliced by laser lights, which we might think of as laser blades. The blades enter the arena and rotate, potentially trapping players who don’t move fast enough to get out of the way. I watched some folks play it at a press event and they were hooting and hollering during the competition. If it catches on, it could be a natural esport title.
