Ultimate Rivals: The Court wants to be the ‘What If?’ of sports games

The concept behind Ultimate Rivals: The Court reminds me of playing with my action figures as a kid: The forces of the Empire would team up with Megatron and his Decepticons, with backup from Skeletor, to take on the Rebel Alliance flocking under Optimus Prime’s banner.

Ultimate Rivals is a mobile sports game that brings in athletes from a number of sports. Developer Bit Fry describers it as “NBA Jam meets Street Fighter.” It’s flashy, with bright neon courts, moves, and players. It takes place on a basketball court, but when you have hockey players involved, they’ll comes out wearing their pads and skates and wielding a stick. A baseball player may bat a ball into the hoop. It’s the studio’s second game (The Rink was the first). It’s on Apple Arcade and in beta for PC.
