Mutant Football League, which launched yesterday, has a fairly liberal definition of the phrase ‘mutant’. The launch trailer options skeletons, robots, aliens and orcs having at it on the hallowed turf, however there’s not a mutant in sight. Not that I’m complaining: the extra diverse the MFL opponents the higher, I say. Ohhh, ‘MFL’. I see what they did there now.
You can click on by to see the trailer for your self, which contains a copious quantity of skeleton slaying, orc obliterating and alien annihilating for what I’m positive is meant to be a non-violent sport.
Mutant Football League takes regular american soccer and swaps out the people for monsters – together with all the foundations about ‘not summoning a demonic basilisk to tear apart the enemy team’. If there’s one factor the unique sport lacked, it’s the power to electrocute a horde of skeletons whereas charging down the straight for a landing. Am I utilizing the soccer phrases proper? I’ve simply watched 10 minutes of game footage, so I’m going to reply my very own query with an authoritative ‘yes’. You can’t cease me, that is my information put up. I do know precisely what the commentator means when he says “The quarterback threads the needle for a first down” and you’ll’t show in any other case.
Aside from the groups, the pitches themselves sound like the celebrities of the present. Digital Dreams Entertainment boast that there are 18 distinctive playfields, every crammed with “diabolical and dangerous traps and hazards — including explosive landmines, buzz saws, toxic moats, lava flows, and crazed fans cheering on their favorite murderous squad”. Now you’re speaking my language.
The recreation’s been within the pipes for the previous three years, after a Kickstarter marketing campaign that noticed it shoot previous it’s $60,000 goal and stretch targets to achieve $138,000. Digital Dreams are pumping that cash into post-launch options, and say the’ll give attention to “adding competitive play features and tools to allow players to create their own content” within the months to return.
