Review: Tape to Tape explained to parents (Preview)

What parents need to know

Tape to Tape is a Quebec indie game released on May 3, 2023.

It is a game that mixes hockey and the principle of a Roguelite campaign, so it focuses on accumulating experience and improving character(s) during the levels leading to the confrontation with a final boss. Tape to Tape includes successive innings like the hockey games of the 90s as well as a style of play in which speed and counterattacks are paramount.

In Tape to Tape, you start with a very unremarkable team and upgrade it by making strategic choices, unlocking new players and obtaining new equipment. The backgrounds have a fairly realistic 3D look, but the characters have a 2D drawn appearance, which is the visual signature of this game.

Tape to Tape is currently awaiting classification as to the suggested minimum age to play.
