Skater Celebrates Style, Individuality, and Radical Tricks

If you’ve been craving a new skateboarding game, then Frosch Media’s new trick-loaded sensation Skater might just be the answer to your prayers.

might just be the answer to your prayers. Frosch Media is an award-winning, Sydney-based games studio that has worked on previous titles such as the Burnout series, Harry Potter , Battlefield, and L.A. Noire. Skater, which was originally born under the title Touch Skater, is a fresh approach to a skateboarding game that focuses more on the board than the player. It also comes with a clever social interaction twist which allows players to create and save their own trick runs, re-watch them, and even compare their runs with other players online.

Frosch Media director Dan Hedgpeth likens Skater to taking part in the world’s biggest online skating session, and stated that he and his team “wanted to make a game that captures some of the experience of skateboarding itself.” Skater takes place in iconic locations such as Stoner Park, Woodward Plaza, and Hollywood High, each one recreated faithfully right down to the street signs, graffiti, and stickers. There are countless moves to learn, beginning with a simple tutorial that walks players through the basics, like how to ollie, conquer kickflips, and master manuals. All movement is achieved through a combination of swipes and screen taps, so although gameplay is easy to pick up, there are always new and more artistic moves to learn, and authentic spots and gear to unlock, which are bound to keep novices and pros entertained for hours.
