72/100

Lacrosse Arcade 2014 is a rare gem for fans of the 'fastest sport on two feet.' While big-name sports games ignore lacrosse, this indie title steps up with a surprisingly deep simulation. It captures the essential flow of the game—the dodging, passing, and that satisfying 'thud' of a well-placed shot hitting the back of the net.

The variety of game modes is its biggest strength. From 1v0 shooting practice to intense 4v4 mini-games and a 'Horde' mode where you weave through a dozen defenders, there’s plenty to do. The controls take some getting used to, as managing movement and stick aim on a touch screen is inherently tricky, but once you master the dodge mechanics, it becomes very rewarding. It’s a bit rough around the edges graphically, but for anyone who plays the sport in real life, this is the best mobile representation you’ll find.

Dinsun Review

Another 'flick' game. We had thousands of these in 2014. This one just happens to have a lacrosse stick instead of a finger or a soccer ball. It’s competent enough—the physics are okay—but it’s so incredibly basic. You stand in one spot and flick at targets.

There’s no team management, no actual lacrosse matches, just a shooting gallery. The 2014 in the title tells you everything you need to know about the graphics. They’re blocky, flat, and uninspired. I appreciate the focus on a lesser-seen sport, but it’s a tiny band-aid on a very boring experience. It’s a 3-minute distraction that shouldn't take up any more of your time.
