Hey Casual Gamers! If you were a fan of Dunk Nation 3×3 when it was around back in 2018, then this casual sporting game is right up your alley!
While the game itself has been live in Asia for a while, it has finally hit the regional shores of the U.S.A! Is it worth your casual basketball time and skill? Lets find out!
Gameplay
Basketrio offers fast paced 3 on 3 basketball games. No fouls or crazy rules, just points and a clock. First team with the highest score wins the game.
While the gameplay is pretty cut and dry, this isn’t any basketball game you’ve recently played.
selecting a character becomes more of a decision due to the position you want to excel in. Basketrio gives every player to option to be either a center, Power Forward, Point Guard, Shooting Guard and Small Forward.
If you aren’t very familiar with the terms, this casual app includes guided videos to show how each position should be played and what skills they excel in.
If you are looking for the RPG feel of a basketball game, this casual app is game winning basket.
Graphics
Basketrio is has a polished finish when it comes to the graphics. Gameplay is almost seamless and the vibrant colors found everywhere make this casual app eye pleasing.
Even watching ranked matches shows off some rather impressive attention to detail. It’s easy to just watch and get lost in matches.
Not to mention dunking and long distance shots have an impressive bit of flair to them.
Music & Sounds
I couldn’t imagine playing Basketrio without some epic headphones! The soundtrack meshes incredibly well to the gameplay.
The commentary heard and sounds while playing pull you into the game It’s a bit reminiscent of NBA Jam, but with a much better gloss and finish.
There are a few different courts, each with their own soundtrack. While most of the focus is on gameplay, the soundtrack is more of a reward for anyone spectating a game.
Controls
Basketrio can be a bit intimidating to some players new to basketball, but most of the tutorials do a great job on how to control your player.
While I maybe inputting my own bias in here, I can’t wait for this casual app to see some controller support. Basketrio can be absolute nuts with the right controller support. I’m sure some type of controller mapping could be used, but I’ve always been a fan of built in controller support.
Call me lazy or picky, but don’t call me both.
Outside of that gripe, the actual gameplay is rather smooth. There’s images and icons that help understand what’s going on during matches.
There’s a ton of different menus to explore outside of matches that can be confusing at times. Once you get lost a few times looking for free loot, it becomes rather easy to navigate.
The Power of in-app Purchases
So, the real question is how much money do I need to dump into Basketrio to be good?
Thankfully, it’s nothing at all! Most purchases will go towards clothing. There are some items that will improve skills, but it seems a bit of a waste to me. Playing games will eventually get you the skills you are looking for.
The battle pass is very rewarding in itself, provided you are playing alot.
Finishing quest and challenges in the game will also net you items that can be exchanged for costumes and other actions in game.
The Verdict
Overall, Basketrio is the casual sports gaming app I didn’t know I needed! There’s enough to enjoy for pros and novices alike.
The chat can be a bit overwhelming at times, with regular trash talkers spamming hate, but the chat is also a great way to sign into pre-mades and make friends.
If you need to itch an NBA Jam itch or can’t get over Dunk Nation being closed down, Basketrio is your new app away from home.
