It's pretty easy to do, but man, sometimes it gets frustrating. When the opposing Jammer gets close to your teammates, just swap to the other teammates and choose what kind of formation you want them to make like creating a wall to block the other player. While going around the track, it's best to just keep spamming the run button to have your jammer speed-move as quickly as possible. The gameplay here is pretty easy, as you mostly just press a button to control what you want the players to do. For each player they pass your team earns a point. Both teams will move counter-clockwise around the map while the lone jammer from each team attempts to lap the other players. Roller Drama gives you a pretty decent rundown of the rules. The roller derby matches make up the meat of the game. You do get to learn a little more about them as the story progresses as the characters get involved in the main story, but I wish there was more. You can visit each of the teammates' rooms periodically and you can ask them to tell you about themselves, but all you really get is just a brief paragraph like "I made a bet with my sister" and that's pretty much it. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like we really get to spend much time with these characters at all. And that short snippet of info you get is pretty much it, which is one of the issues I have with this title. When you first meet your team members, you can ask them to tell you about themselves and you get a quick synopsis of the character and her goals. Doing so will raise or lower your level with that specific teammate. Being that this is a visual novel, you can respond to your teammates in various ways such as being a serious, no-nonsense coach, or in a more friendly manner. The game starts innocently enough as one of your first missions is to meet your team. On top of that the game is set against the backdrop of a dystopian world in which AI runs everything. Right in the opening of the game, before you even meet the team, you meet the ghost of Shakespeare and have to deal with the landlord's cat dying, who one of the team members decided to have embalmed. Right from the get go, the game lets you know that it's gonna be a little weird. You play as Joan, who becomes the den mother for a women's Roller Derby team in their apartment. While I don't regret my time with Roller Drama, the game really left a lot to be desired. I really liked the art style of the game and liked how actual Roller Derby competitions would be part of the game as well. I like visual novels and I while I haven't watched a ton of of the sport, I do like Roller Derby so I hopped on the chance to play this visual novel called Roller Drama.
