Desk tennis is my major interest. Gaming is a detailed second.
The overwhelming majority of desk tennis gamers are energetic and aggressive individuals. We don’t shrink back from challenges.
Most of us are keen about desk tennis to the purpose that If we’re not hitting the ball, we’re excited about techniques, watching video games, or studying articles concerning the sport.
Sadly, desk tennis golf equipment should not open 24/7, so we compiled an inventory of the highest 6 desk tennis video games.
I solely included video games I attempted and had a lot of enjoyable with, apart from one which I couldn’t play due to {hardware} limitations.
There are at the very least 2 video games on this record that aren’t to be missed. I had extra enjoyable with considered one of them than whereas enjoying actual desk tennis. Let’s begin!

The primary sport we have now on this record is Table Tennis Champion.
This sport is a variety of enjoyable and is the one cellular sport on this record that has 3D graphics and full fashions of the gamers.
The sport mechanics are easy however onerous to grasp. The sport relies on the timing and the situation by which you hit the ball to find out in the event you win or lose the purpose.
For those who hit the ball early or late, your opponent will achieve the initiative and probably win the purpose with a smash.
I additionally really feel it’s sensible within the sense that in the event you do nearly every little thing proper, your opponent can nonetheless win the purpose with a well-placed counterloop.
I like the problem of the sport within the sense that it’s fairly difficult however in the event you lose you’ll at all times know what you probably did fallacious.

Subsequent on this record is Table Tennis Touch.
The sport has refined mechanics and photographs really feel very pure.
It has a profession mode with seemingly countless ranges and completely different tournaments.
At first, I believed the sport can be very simple till I entered the fast play mode and performed in opposition to the AI on most problem. I misplaced 11-0. No mercy level for me!
At the start of the sport, the degrees are very simple, however as you progress by way of the sport, they turn out to be much more troublesome, which makes the sport much more entertaining.
I actually like this sport as a result of timing, swing pace, and techniques matter. A really helpful tactic is to the touch quick after which play lengthy.
However once more, the attribute that I like essentially the most about this sport is its physics. The sport feels very pure and the physics carefully resemble actual desk tennis.

4) I’m Ping Pong King 🙂
- Launch date: June 19, 2018

I’m Ping Pong King is very completely different from the remainder.
From the second you open the app you’re proven a message that claims that I’m ping pong king is an uncommon sport as it’s performed with simply two buttons.
All fashions are Stickmen and your opponent can solely hit the ball to your proper or left. You should have a button to hit the ball on both aspect.
The sport is tremendous easy and minimalist, however that doesn’t imply it’s simple.
The aim this sport presents us is to turn out to be the ping pong king. For that, you’ll have to defeat 50 gamers that progressively turn out to be extra difficult.
This sport was very effectively obtained by gamers as a result of it’s a easy and stress-free sport.
Due to this, it has a 4.6-star score and over 5 million downloads.
Regardless of not having sensible physics, the sport has higher evaluations than the others. In its simplicity lies its greatness.
As well as, there are some actually enjoyable mini-games and there may be additionally further content material when you beat all 50 gamers within the story mode.
One other factor that I actually preferred about this sport is that they earn their income from advertisements that aren’t very invasive, and never from microtransactions that make it a pay-to-win sport.
3) Ping Pong Fury
- Launch date: March 17, 2021
- Platforms: Android, iOS
- Writer: Yakuto
- Value: Free to play (with in-app purchases)
Ping Pong Fury is the primary sport on our podium.
It earned this spot within the rankings for a lot of causes. I had a blast throughout my time with the sport.
Analyzing the information sheet of the sport, we will see that it’s one other sport from the writer Yakuto, who developed the #5 sport on our record, desk tennis contact.
Ping pong fury is just like desk tennis contact however with a lot of enhancements. This sport was launched 7 years later, so that they had extra time and new know-how to additional polish their already profitable formulation.
This sport relies on a web based multiplayer mode.
The principle attraction of this sport is enjoying on-line matches in opposition to different gamers and incomes followers and cash. Additionally, you may play with your pals, which makes for a really enjoyable expertise.
As you have got extra followers, you’ll progress to new arenas, and you’ll play in way more necessary matches the place way more cash and extra followers are on the road.
Its system is virtually an identical to that of the well-known 8-ball pool game, which has greater than 500 million downloads.
While you play, you wager cash and so does your opponent.
As you progress by way of the completely different leagues and arenas, many extra customization choices open up for you.
I have to say that this sport was very effectively researched since within the customization choices you may change the blade and the rubbers individually, the balls and footwear.
Every of those parts goes to alter the way in which your character performs.
The preliminary blades have a variety of management and little pace, and as you progress, the blades have an increasing number of pace.
When it comes to the mechanics, they’re extremely polished. The physics of this sport stunned me for the higher.
What stunned me essentially the most was the sidespin mechanics.
You’ll be able to carry out pendulum and reverse pendulum serves by drawing a circle within the air clockwise or counterclockwise, which emulates actual desk tennis very effectively.
Likewise, you may as well carry out sidespin photographs within the rally.
The second factor that stunned me essentially the most is that while you obtain a sidespin shot it’s important to both counter that sidespin with your personal or goal accurately to account for the incoming sidespin.
For those who hit the ball usually, your rubber reacts like it will in actual life. The rubbers take up incoming sidespin and the ball goes large.
You too can hit each topspin and backspin photographs.
The one con I can discover for this sport is the microtransactions. This sport prompts you to purchase a ping pong cross, just like the Fortnite battle cross.
The distinction is that in Fortnite, the belongings you get with the battle cross are aesthetic. On this sport, completely different tools could give extra spin or pace to your photographs.
For those who purchase the ping pong cross, as you win matches you’ll have higher and higher rewards. For those who don’t purchase the ping pong cross, your rewards shall be a lot worse.
Additionally, the sport tries to promote tools for actual cash. Which means those that resolve to pay have an enormous benefit in comparison with the remainder.
Regardless of every little thing, I believe it’s an important free-to-play sport that may be loved with out spending cash, and the mechanics are one of the best of all cellular video games.
2) Eleven Desk Tennis
- Launch date: June 20, 2016
- Platforms: Home windows
- Writer: For Enjoyable Labs
- Value: $19.99, €19.99
I don’t know the place to start with this sport.
You don’t have a desk in your own home? You don’t have somebody to play with? Do you need to play desk tennis when the membership is closed?
Eleven table tennis is a digital actuality desk tennis sport that comes extremely near the true factor.
One proof that this sport could be very near actual desk tennis is that every one the gamers inside the prime 50 are actual desk tennis gamers.
What’s extra, in Steam evaluations, many informal players stated that they improved their precise desk tennis abilities by enjoying this sport, and it makes a variety of sense.
With this sport, you may actually prepare particular points of desk tennis, like timing, footwork, and type.
It’s like doing shadow play however, on the similar time, you’re truly enjoying. This sport blows my thoughts.

I’d say that it is a superb method to practice table tennis alone. You’ll be able to even attempt new techniques!
It’s the solely sport that I can consider which is constructive to spend many hours enjoying. Not solely is it extremely enjoyable, however it’s additionally good to your physique.
One other benefit of this sport is that you just don’t must fetch the ball.
In actual desk tennis, greater than half the time we’re fetching the ball, however this sport permits us to play desk tennis while not having to fetch the ball, which vastly improves the circulate of the sport.
The physics of this sport are unimaginable. The ball reacts as it will in actual life.
If the ball comes with backspin, it’s essential to open up or it is going to go to the web, for instance.
This sport is extremely enjoyable and shall be, for a lot of, one of the best desk tennis sport on the market.
If it’s the greatest desk tennis sport, why is it ranked quantity 2? As a result of I couldn’t play it!
The massive downside with this sport is its accessibility.
To be able to play this sport, we not solely want a PC with a robust processor and a high-end graphics card, however we additionally want a VR headset.
To be able to play this sport, we should have spent round $1000 on {hardware}.
The gaming expertise is phenomenal for many who meet the necessities, however the overwhelming majority of us should not going to have the ability to play it, sadly.
It’s an actual disgrace because it’s rated 10/10 on Steam and has overwhelmingly constructive evaluations, which doesn’t occur typically.
1) Lofi Ping Pong
My favourite desk tennis sport is Lofi Ping Pong.
Crucial factor I can say about lofi ping pong is that it captures points of desk tennis in a novel manner.
Quite than counting on making an attempt to simulate its physics, this sport tries to seize the essence of desk tennis and remodel it right into a murals, and in my view, it’s 100% profitable in its try.
I believe it’s a sport that every one desk tennis gamers and individuals who like music ought to play.
There are tons of issues I like about this sport, and that’s why I ranked it #1.
To start with, the sport is a rhythmic sport of ping pong. It’s just like Guitar Hero, osu! and Rock Band in that sense.
The sport has a really fascinating idea which is to make use of the ping pong ball as a metronome. The timing by which it’s important to hit the ball is identical because the rhythm of the tune.
It’s a comparable idea to the tune “Ping Pong” by Armin van Buuren. This in itself makes it a brilliant entertaining sport.
One factor that stands out concerning the sport is that it emulates desk tennis factors in an unimaginable manner.
If we take into consideration guitar hero, osu! or rock band, a mistake within the tune breaks your combo, however it doesn’t make you lose the sport.
On this sport, in the event you mess up as soon as, you lose. You’ll be able to solely win in the event you do a full combo, that’s in the event you full your entire tune with out lacking the ball.
In desk tennis, it’s the similar factor. The second you miss the ball or ship it out, the purpose is over. In each desk tennis and lofi ping pong, the aim is to hit the ball another time than your opponent.
Additionally, on this sense, I felt that enjoying this sport is like winding up a music field. The second you miss the ball, the music stops.
If you wish to preserve listening to your favourite songs, it’s important to return the ball accurately. This creates a uniquely satisfying expertise.
Additionally, the tempo of desk tennis and lofi ping pong could be very comparable. If we flip up the pace in lofi ping pong, the sport will be even quicker than actual desk tennis, which is without doubt one of the quickest sports activities on earth.
One other factor that lofi managed to seize is that you just’re at all times enjoying the identical photographs however factors are by no means the identical.
In lofi ping pong, there are three strokes, and in desk tennis, if we give it some thought, we’re at all times enjoying roughly the identical photographs. Nonetheless, no level is identical because the earlier one.
Lastly, for us to do effectively in each desk tennis and lofi ping pong, we have now to be 110% targeted. Any slip will imply defeat. You need to enter a state of circulate by which you’re one with the beat of the music.
Being so targeted whereas listening to stunning songs creates a very wonderful expertise.
Right here’s a assessment by Delete Repeat. It does comprise some spoilers, although.
At first, the sport could seem difficult. What’s extra, I learn feedback from individuals who discovered it too troublesome for them, which made them lose curiosity.
In my private expertise, the sport was onerous however potential. It was difficult to play however this meant it was tremendous satisfying after I beat it.
The sport is centered round a cryptic and enigmatic story centered round a feminine ping pong participant. This girl performs matches in opposition to different gamers who say unusual issues to her.
At first, we won’t be able to know the story, however every little thing is sensible while you end it. In hindsight, all of the items fall into place to create a really poetic ending.
The story mode is 1-3 hours lengthy and I can say that it was an important expertise.
Nonetheless, as soon as the story is over, you have got a lot extra to do.
Undoubtedly, my favourite characteristic of this sport is with the ability to play with your personal music.
In different video games akin to guitar hero or osu!, if you wish to play with your personal music you’ll have to create a degree with notes your self.
On this sport, you merely load your songs and also you’re able to play. It’s one thing magnificent.
It’s a tremendous expertise for me to play ping pong so I can hearken to my favourite music.
As well as, we will play with each calm and quick music. Calm music will give us a brilliant stress-free expertise whereas quick music will preserve us on the sting of our seats.
Within the clip under, I play two of my favourite songs. If you recognize which of them they’re, inform me within the feedback!

When you have lofi ping pong, open the leaderboards.
As of writing this text, I’m the #2 participant on the planet. Sadly, I didn’t document the play that obtained me the 2nd spot on the planet, however right here’s the video of the play that obtained me to 4th place:
As you may see, it will get as quick as and even quicker than actual desk tennis. I believe my reflexes from enjoying desk tennis actually helped me obtain the #2 spot on the leaderboards.
For those who made it this far, I problem you to beat my rating. Convey it on!
