\"\"<\/a>Aeolis Tournament is a collection of multiplayer mini games based around the simple concept of sucking in and blowing out gusts of air.\u00a0 Up to 8 can play locally and online, and it\u2019s available on the Switch and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.<\/p>\n

After choosing to play locally or online, you\u2019ll pick your character.\u00a0 These include various kids and animals, like a fox or a cool shark.\u00a0 You can also outfit them with colors and accessories (hats, glasses) that you unlock with points by playing.\u00a0 Then you can choose to play a quick, single game or a tournament where you go through a string of events in a row.\u00a0 The basic concept of each game involves running around a top down 2-D arena, holding the button to suck in air, then releasing it to blow out again.\u00a0 Anyway, here are the six games you play with that idea.<\/p>\n

The Perfect Storm<\/strong><\/p>\n

Run around an island with breakable land masses, and try to blow and push other players off the island into the water.\u00a0 If you do, you\u2019ll earn points.\u00a0 Earn the most points at the end to win.<\/p>\n

Sportsball<\/strong><\/p>\n

Play a game of soccer with the air sucking and blowing mechanic.\u00a0 Except here it\u2019s on top of a volcano so you must watch out for lava!\u00a0 Plus, different balls will pop in that might give you more points, or roll around differently, like a football!\u00a0 This game is played with teams.<\/p>\n

Explosive Dodgeball<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another team based event, you and your opponent\u2019s teams are on each side of a playing field.\u00a0 Bombs will drop, and you must blow them to the other side so they explode and make the other players fall off the field. \u00a0When you do that, you earn points.<\/p>\n

Snowball Battle<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this free-for-all event, you must suck in snowballs and blow them out to hit other players for points.\u00a0 You can suck in multiple snowballs to make them bigger!<\/p>\n

Marble Thief<\/strong><\/p>\n

You must suck in and spit out marbles into your colored hole to earn points.\u00a0 The holes can move around on the circular field, so you must watch out.<\/p>\n

Air Hockey<\/strong><\/p>\n

And last, this one plays like Sportsball except you must blow a giant puck into a goal.\u00a0 The field is also iced over and very slippery.<\/p>\n

And those are all the games!\u00a0 In many of the events, you can pick up power-ups to help you out, like give you stronger gusts of air or make it harder for others to blow you off.\u00a0 You can toggle rules for each game and change the difficulty level of CPU players.\u00a0 In the options screen you can view your unlockables and achievements, too.<\/p>\n

The only problems with the game is that there\u2019s not much to do for a single player, and the game could\u2019ve used some more events, since all you have here are some basic Mario Party style mini-games and only six of them.\u00a0 But what\u2019s here is still pretty fun with simple rules that anyone can understand.\u00a0 So if you have a bunch of people to play with, you may want to check this out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can knock players off ledges into water with gusts of wind and bombs, but they appear right back where they started, and that\u2019s about as violent as it gets.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for some of the text.\u00a0 Aeolis Tournament is rated E for Everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
