New game Roller Drama gives my friends who do roller derby even more ways to do roller derby

A mix of real-time strategy, visual novel and skating very fast in a loop Roller Drama apparently throws in some visual novel elements, as well as the bits where you skate for glory (although it should be noted this is not a roller derby simulator and has slightly different rules to the IRL sport).
