This is such a fun game and the commentary is hilarious. I would much rather play this than Madden any day! It has good graphic and the game play is fun and addictive. The names of the teams and players are a riot and it just makes you want to keep playing. Hands down one of the best football games out right now IMO. If you like playing football games and want to step out side the norm...check it out!

This is a spectacular sports game, comedy game, and strategy game. Thereās a lot more going on here than meets the eye; so much so, that I think referring to Mutant Football League as only an arcade-style football game is an underselling of its quality. I will absolutely be picking up the sequel when it fully launches. And even though itās well on the way, I wouldnāt shy away from recommending this to any American football fan. I picked up Mutant Football League a few times to just play a game or two without fully getting it. The most recent time I tried it though, I got addicted and blitzed through two whole seasons of the Dynasty mode in just a few days. MFL has all the staples of the arcade-style football game. Reduced player count, funny voiceovers, excessive violence, and simplified controls. The reduced player count letās the game flow well, and keeps scoring high. Funny voiceovers are plentiful, and although some will be repeated very often, itās nice thereās some unique ones for the āMayhem Bowlā among other rare occurrences. Thereās a wide collection of tackle animations that don't stale. And simplified controls enhance decision-making as a key factor, as opposed to button complexity. It feels great, and takes virtually no time to learn the basics. All of these things are implemented well, and if that was all this game had to offer, it would still be recommendable , but thereās other things going on and they add substantial enjoyment to the game. It might take a while, but eventually youāll learn that each character type (deadheads, bruiserbots, aliens, etc.) has its own strengths, and that some of their strengths might be more valuable at certain position types. This isnāt really relevant in play mode, but it is in dynasty. The stadiums are also really cool! Each stadium has unique hazards, and learning how to play around them will not only greatly enhance your fun, but also can add strategic depth to the gameplay. Tactically running over a mine to kill more opponent players than you? Picking a play which forces a receiver to run his route just on the other side of a lava pit? These are enjoyable and depth enhancing features! Another fun thing is the dirty trick system. Initially, the plays seem like low-strategy free TDās. But thereās other stuff going on here. Did you turn the ball over in your own half? Great, time to run a low risk QB-attack. Are your opponentās linebashers and safeties their biggest threat? Hot potato, cya! The ref has been bribed? Whatās the appropriate response, killing him or re-bribing him yourself? These decisions do matter and learning that is an extremely satisfying part of the game. The limitation is that each team has their own dirty tricks, and thereās no way to mix and match, even when some would synergize with your team maybe better than others. Although some combinations are pretty thematically appropriate. This customization more generally is the gameās biggest missing piece. Creating a stadium (even if just the field only) would pump this game to a completely new level! Having a player creator/editor or a team creator/editor would be unbelievable! These two features are on my wishlist for the sequel, and based on the store page description, sounds like they will be part of it! Other minor shortcomings are: not being able to directional-switch player pre-snap, no button to control player facing direction, limited player/GM decisions in dynasty mode, and a difficulty curve that I think isnāt quite right, as well as a cpu-intelligence based on āconventionalā American football decision making, as opposed to todayās more analytics-oriented one (i.e. cpu 4th down decisions donāt seem well informed). But unexpected positives, besides those already listed are: a good suite of settings for gameplay (no dirty tricks, karnage options, quarter lengths, etc.) the ability to have cpu-vs-cpu games (fun for betting with friends), a pretty killer soundtrack, and just so many puns and great write-ups on teams. Really pleased with this, and I think that arcade sports fans have much to love, but more traditional sports fans can find some real compelling gameplay here, and will definitely enjoy this against the cpu, or also with friends. 8/10

Mutant Football League is, by far, my favorite video game version of American Football ever. It's not even close. I'd even say it's in my top five sports games overall - if I had a list of those. I'm a 90s kid and had a Sega Genesis growing up, and I'm well acquainted with the Mutant League Football/Hockey games this new series is inspired by. This new version takes the irreverent and grotesque tone of those games, adds a healthy dose of satire, and plants it directly into what turns out to be an extremely competent football game. Obviously, if you're looking for a deep, serious football game to play, well... for starters, why are you looking at a game called Mutant Football League? This game certainly leans hard into the arcade side of things - not to mention that you can win a game by killing all of the players on the opposing team. That's an actual strategy. I can't watch someone score a touchdown in any other football video game - hell, even in a REAL LIFE game - without, for a brief second, waiting for a bullcrap penalty to be called because the other team had the foresight to bribe the ref right before the snap. Every actual NFL team is "represented" here, although a handful of them are only available through paid DLC that costs very little (or, at this point, you should be able to just buy it all in one bundle.) There's plenty of blood, gore, and bad language (especially kind of crazy considering one of the announcers is legendary NBA Jam announcer Tim "BOOMSHAKALAKA!" Kitzrow,) but nothing that should hurt anybody's feelings. Digital Dreams has done a great job of keeping this title updated, but with MFL 2 in early access, don't expect that to last much longer. That being said, this is still one of the best football games ever made and worth picking up.

The only sports game I like. If football was like this, then it would justify their ridiculous million dollar contracts.
