New Mutant Football League Game Launches Kickstarter

[RaychelSnr]

The creator of Mutant League Football, originally released in 1993 and a cult hit amongst sports gamers has launched a Kickstarter to relaunch the game on both mobile platforms and consoles.

The game's core team includes Michael Mendheim, the original creator of the franchise. Dave Devries and Robomodo will be leading the art direction and design of the game. Dave Elliott, famous amongst comic book circles will be providing character and worlds work while Jay Lender, the original writer of SpongeBob Squarepants, will be providing writing for the game.

The game itself will feature 30 teams featuring a variety of customizable Monster and Mutant characters. The gameplay will be true to the Mutant League tradition, with maximum carnage, crazy stadiums with weapon wielding fans, dirty trick plays, and tons of 'tongue-through-cheek' humor. Simply put, it all sounds like incredibly chaotic fun if the vision is saw through.

The new Mutant Football League game is trying to reach $750,000 a very lofty goal -- but it has a lot of promise for sure. We are working on getting an interview with Michael about the game and it's vision. The possibility of new Mutant League Football is incredibly exciting news for sure!

Be sure to check out the game's Kickstarter page to pledge if you'd like to support the game.

I remember this game.

Someone should come up with a Blitz Clone on PC/Steam that allows modding. That I would invest in heavily. Even if it had fake teams/names, because modders could do the rest.

I was onboard until I saw their ridiculous amount they are asking for.

Oh and they want to add on stretch goals for a 360/PS3/PC version. No mention of XBone/PS4.

Count me out for a while, which is sad... This (and MLHockey) are literally my favorite non-text-sim sports games ever.

Oops I stand corrected.

Still ridiculous that they want extra money to cone out on PC/consoles.

Until I see some gameplay and concrete plans for a PC version at the very least I'll keep my money and play the original Genesis version like I have been since it came out.
