Recommended Aug 26, 2025
A love letter to fantasy football, friendship, and turn based tactics. Full of clever humor in the character interactions, player names, and abilities. There is a level of thoughtfulness and care that is palpable and it makes you feel invested in your journey to win the league. It is a simple game on its surface (I just made it to Week 4) but you can see synergies and strategies develop with each match. Maybe you want to run a quick pass, check down type offense, maybe you shore up your defenses with blockers... or maybe you send out your tight ends to run drag routes through the enemy team. There is a good level of variety and experimentation to be had. I got long pass nuked by "Jaden Hertz" and immediately knew I wanted to start building a pocket passer/deep ball threat. I am excited to see how the rest of the game plays out. I think there is a good foundation here to build off of. Congratulations on your first release, Colin! I can't wait to see what you create in the future.
