'Mutant Football League' (ALL) Making Debut At GDC

by Rainier on Feb. 24, 2015 @ 8:48 a.m. PST

Mutant Football League pays homage to the classic franchise by combining football with strategy, customizable creatures, bone-crunching hits, over the top gore, and a graveyard full of tongue-through-cheek humor.

The original Mutant League Football was released by Electronic Arts in 1993 for the Sega Genesis.  It's blend of monsters, mayhem, and good ol' American team sports turned the game into a cult classic and a #1 seller. The touchdown success of the original game spawned a spin-off (Mutant League Hockey: Sega Genesis, 1994), as well as a toy line, an animated cartoon series, trading cards, and more!

Mutant Football League features monsters and mutants battling it out in the most dangerous game in the galaxy. And now, two decades later, with even more bone-shattering hits, over-the-top gore, and one hell of a wicked tongue-through-cheek sense of humor, the Mutants are making their triumphant return to the field via Kickstarter, where the fans can help craft the game that they've been waiting for and get some sweet Mutant backer rewards in the process!

Mutant Football League will make its debut at Game Connection America 2015 at City View- METREON in San Francisco March 2-5, 2015.

Key Features:

  • Mutants vs. Monsters -The stars of the league are wisecracking, Monsters and Mutants with special skills, abilities and weapons. The game will feature Battle Robots, Undead Skeletons, Demons, Orcs, Mutant Super-Humans and Aliens.  
  • Full Season Mode - Choose from over 30 teams and play a grueling 13 game season where deaths can carry over from game to game and be one of the few teams that survives to compete in the Playoffs for a chance to reach the ultimate glory of the Mayhem Bowl.
  • Gridiron Carnage - The wildest, goriest, most outrageous football game ever! Players are allowed to bring weapons on the gridiron like: clubs, chain saws, shotguns, battle axes and hand grenades to inflict maximum carnage to the opposition. Over the top visual and gore effects including blood splatters, deaths, fire effects, exploding body parts and dismemberment.
  • Killer Stadiums - Stadiums are packed with crazed fans cheering their teams on as they go into battle. This isn't a field of dreams - it's more like a field of screams, because fields are filled with diabolical traps, hazards and obstacles, including mines, toxic moats and lava flows. If the hazards don't kill you the weather probably will, so watch out for acid rain, blizzards and the occasional meteor shower.
  • Dirty Trick Plays - These are mean, nasty, unfair and lowdown plays intended to hose the opposition and if that doesn't work, kill them. Each team has its own set of Dirty Tricks including: "Bribe the Ref" - you can give the ref some money to look the other way. "Beat It" - your Running Back pulls out a giant club and pounds the defense into submission and "Ginormous: - where your Blitzer grows 5X his normal size. Have fun blocking that!
  • Tongue-Through-Cheek  Humor - A fun, entertaining and off-the-wall parody of the NFL...with all the excitement, hard-hitting action, lunacy, unspeakable greed, corporate ruthlessness, hypocrisy and over-the-top egos the NFL has to offer.
