About Shoresy: Legends of the North
Shoresy: Legends of the North is a hockey-focused indie game from Treewood Studios that turns the chaotic humor of the TV show into playable chaos. Released on PC in November 2025, it blends fast-paced ice hockey with over-the-top fights, trash talk, and slapstick moments. The game leans into the absurdity of Sudbury’s fictional Blueberry Bulldogs, letting you play as either a rookie or a grizzled veteran. With single-player, co-op, and multiplayer modes, it’s designed for quick sessions of puck-smashing fun. The art style is cartoonish but sharp, and the soundtrack leans into 80s rock anthems. If you want to chuck a stick at the net or punch an opponent mid-sprint, this is your game.
Gameplay
The core loop is simple: score goals, avoid penalties, and punch enemies when they get too close. Stickhandling feels responsive but forgiving, with a focus on quick flicks and dekes rather than technical precision. Fighting mechanics are punchy but shallow, you mash buttons to initiate brawls, which unfold in slow motion with exaggerated animations. Matches are 3v3 with a 5-minute timer, pushing constant action. The AI opponents are decent at tracking the puck but often stumble into collisions for comedic effect. In co-op, communication is key for setting up plays, though the camera can get cramped with two players. The game’s charm lies in its trash talk bubbles and absurd power-ups like “Blueberry Jam” for sudden speed bursts.
What Players Think

A 4-star review notes, “The fights are hilarious, but the puck sometimes teleports.” A 3-star criticizes, “No offline co-op options are a bummer.” The game has 50 achievements, with 100% completion averaging 65% of players. 72% of users say it’s best with friends, while 18% admit they play solo just for the voice lines.
PlayPile's Take
Shoresy: Legends of the North is a $39.99 pick for hockey fans and sitcom lovers who don’t take games too seriously. Its charm outshines its technical flaws, and the multiplayer modes keep it replayable. The achievements are easy to grind, with 30% tied to brawls. It’s not a simulation, it’s a party game with a niche audience. If you crave slapstick over strategy, this is worth the price. But if you want deep hockey mechanics or offline co-op, look elsewhere.
