  • Dunk City Dynasty hits soft launch in Australia and New Zealand
  • It sees you taking on street-style eleven-point basketball
  • Your favourite players ditch the jerseys for street clothes in stylish, fast-paced matchups

Readers of a certain maturity level (not implying any judgment) will nostalgically recall the era of what was once called street-style sports simulation games. Unlike those that mimic top-tier sports associations, these games had unique rules and aesthetics that made them stand out, and their popularity wasn’t unfounded. Now, Dunk City Dynasty, NetEase’s version of this genre, is gearing up for a soft launch in Australia and New Zealand.

In a shift from traditional basketball games, the Dunk City Dynasty features superstars such as Kevin Durant and Stephan Curry playing in street attire instead of their team jerseys during less formal matches. To add to today’s excitement, NetEase has introduced a 5v5 Full Court Run mode where players can engage in stylish battles, customizing their characters and even dressing them in the colors of popular teams like the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets.

Now, if you’re using iOS or Android in the mentioned regions, you can also experience quick-tempo 11-player matches on mobile devices, making it feel like you’re actually on the court! What’s even better is that you can earn rewards such as free Star Players, cosmetics, and more just by logging in daily during the soft launch.

Nothin’ but net

Given the rather stiff and rules-heavy nature of official pro tournaments, it’s no surprise that the street style of gameplay has always been popular. It offers more laid-back rules and variety that might otherwise offend the purists amongst fans and allows you to play in whatever whacky way you may desire.

It’s likely that Dunk City Dynasty, which is set for a global launch this year, won’t keep players waiting too long. If you prefer games with intricate rules, or ones that are downright zany or strange, then you don’t need to search far. Just check out our lists of the top 25 best sports games for iOS!
