Gameplay

Deformers is a multiplayer brawler game played from a third-person perspective. Players take control of squishy ball-shaped creatures called a Forms that are capable of rolling, jumping, dashing, and absorbing items. In the deathmatch and team deathmatch modes, the goal is to roll around and knock opponents off the arena platform. Form-ball is a mode that plays like soccer; a ball must be knocked into a net to score goals. The game supports online two-, three-, and four-player splitscreen as well as online multiplayer with up to eight players.

It was announced that Deformers would shut down on 9 August 2018.

Reception

Deformers received a mixed reception from critics. It was nominated for "Original Score - Video Game" at the 2017 Hollywood Music in Media Awards.
