Mutant Football League Pre-Alpha Footage Surfaces

[RaychelSnr]

Mutant Football League is still in production, and is aiming for a Q4 2015 release on PC (via STEAM), PlayStation 4, Xbox One, iOS, and Android, according to the latest trailer posted on the development team's YouTube channel. The project is currently self-funded, though developer Digital Dreams Entertainment is seeking a publishing partner.

The new footage promises:

• 30 completely customizable teams
• Hazards and traps in each stadium
• Weapons like clubs, axes, and chainsaws
• 7-on-7 football, featuring passing plays (with receiver icons), running plays, and special teams
• Content targeting a "Mature" ESRB rating

Digital Dreams Entertainment was founded by Michael Mendheim, the creator and lead designer of the 1993 SEGA Genesis sports game, Mutant League Football.

Well, I was hoping for a simulation football game announcement but the potential M rating has me interested.

I know the games a bit away but this game looks pretty stiff at the moment.

Welcome to pre-alpha.

I'm very excited! (yeah, at my age it doesn't take much)

'Looking for publishing partner and investment' while already seeking to publish it on every platform is pretty ambitious, I wish them luck.

You can see how far they've come, they didn't have anything remotely like this available to even tease w/ last year's kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...otball-league/

It looks like in May it was reported here a second kickstarter is coming: http://www.operationsports.com/news/...arter-planned/

I think that in many ways the gaming audience is beyond just wanting a game with mutants. The violent atmosphere is a nice gimmick but I think the success or failure of the game is going to come down to how balanced the gameplay can be. If the football isn't well-executed and either super-fun arcadey or complex sim-style, it's not going to matter that you can "kill" the players on the other team.

Agree, this looks like it's aiming to put a fresh coat of paint on the Blitz formula.

It made me wonder if they could license the Cyberball IP and have some crossover DLC
