Stick Cricket Live 21 - Play 1v1 Cricket Games

Casual 3D cricket game

Developed by Stick Sports Ltd., Stick Cricket Live 21 - Play 1v1 Cricket Games is a casual yet exciting sports game that will test the player’s reflexes and hand-to-eye coordination through a series of cricket matches. A glow-up of classic, single-player cricket games, this title, in particular, is meant to be played online, connecting and matching players across the globe.

Stick Cricket Live 21 boasts detailed 3D graphics and fun animations when the ball is hit. You can even converse with your opponent through pre-programmed phrases and emojis. There are different bowlers, stadiums, and gear kits to unlock, as well.

Hit the ball and attain high scores

The best thing about Stick Cricket Live 21 is its simple gameplay mechanics and easy-to-understand dashboard. During each match, the player just has to click either the left or the right arrow buttons in anticipation of the ball being thrown by the pitcher. Each successful hit is shown through an animation that displays the distance the ball has traveled and measures the score.

However, the same straightforward mechanics make the game tricky to master. While the instructions are definitely easy to grasp, mastering the timing is a more difficult affair. Newbies will either hit the ball too early or too late, costing them important points. There is a bar on the left side of the screen that appears after each failed hit, showing whether the timing was too early or late.

Beyond that, the game also comes with the option to socialize with your opponents. Through the chat button at the bottom of the screen, you can send either short phrases or emojis to them throughout the match. Options for these are quite limited, though. Moreover, winning matches rewards you with cards — these can be coins, new character cards, or pieces of gear.  

Fun yet it can get frustrating

With its gameplay mechanics that are quick to learn and its high-tension sports nature, Stick Cricket Live 21 is a great casual game that will keep one entertained for hours. Besides that, there is a lot to unlock, ranging from stadiums to batters and gear kits. Although, mastering the perfect timing of hitting the ball can be a painful and frustrating process.
