Mutant Football League is the spiritual successor to 1993 hit Mutant League Football . It's produced and lead by original Mutant League creator Michael Mendheim, and is a 7-on-7 arcade styled American Football game heavily inspired by games like: NFL Blitz, NFL Street, Backbreaker and Blood Bowl. Where the goal is to get the most points at the end of the 4th quarter. Or kill enough of the opposing team that they can't field a team anymore, and have to forfeit. With pre/post game and play-by-play commentary by Grim Blitzrow voiced by NBA Jam & NFL Blitz legend Tim Kitzrow.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Features:
- Voice work from Tim Kitzrow.
- 5 Races each with their own perks and disadvantages: Skeleton, Alien, Orc, Robot, Human Mutant
- 18 Teams each with their own All-Star players and Dirty Tricks.
- 18 Home stadiums each with their own traps( Landmines, Pits, Giant Worms ect.) and weather hazards (Lightning storms, Acid rain, Blizzards ect.)
- 5 game modes with 5 difficulties settings from Newbie to AllStarMasochist.
Play Now (Exhibition mode play with up to 4 players with each other vs AI or competitive)
Season (Play a series of games, and try and make it to the Championships. Then onto the Mayhem Bowl.)
Playoffs (Jump right into the Championships and go for the Mayhem Bowl.)
Online (1v1 games)
Practice (Can play alone with no opponent to test out controls and Dirty Tricks. Or you can throw in some AI to test out plays.)


Talked about upcoming features from the dev team:
- More races are coming Werewolves and Demons.
- Team/Plays/Stadium/Character customization.
- Cheerleaders
- Single player story mode. Where you create a player and take him through games learning more about the Mutant League world.
- Coaches they added slight commentary to the old game, but they were mostly there for extra comedic value. They all had amazing lost screen animations I hope they get added.

Beginner tips:

Hurting players after a play is all well and fine. Even killing them, but killing them after the whistle blows will get you yardage penalty. Although often it is worth the penalty to kill an All-Star player (Players with stars over their heads.) or Quarterbacks on their team (Once they lose 3 Quarterbacks you win).

Watch out for field hazards when you have the ball. If you are killed while holding it you will fumble and give the other team a chance to steal the ball.
y6uacjdl


Save your offensive Dirty Tricks for 3rd and 4th downs. They let you push the ball to the first down line (yellow line) when you need it the most

Some Dirty Tricks like Bombs away are good for killing off some of the other teams players. Just make sure to hit the B button to switch to your receiver and move him away from the blast.
yaal89e7


Defensive Dirty Tricks like Strawberry fields (my favorite one) if used during the 4th down, can pretty much guarantee a turn over.
y73kcosh


Using the Bribe Ref Dirty Trick is a good way to have every play go in your favor. Even if the opposing team scores a touchdown a bribed ref will just call them out for not partying hard enough in the end zone. Stripping the touchdown away from them and give them yard penalties.

Make sure to use the Ref attack Dirty Trick to kill a bribed ref. You dont want someone on the take calling plays get a new ref in there.

I really need to pick this up. MLF was one of my favorite Genesis games.

It's super quick and snappy. I've missed arcade sports games, if this one dose real good in sales they said they will open up conversations for future Mutant League sports (Hockey please!)

edit: In my blundering I misspelled league in the title oops! Need a mod to fix it.

Might grab this, my 6 year old son is just starting to play flag football, and is falling for the sport hard...madden is probably too complex (and the new maddens I don't even think are fun). If I could play madden 94 with him I would, it was a simpler time back then.

Just make sure to go to the options and turn on the profanity filter. They can get a little loose although funny with the cursing in the commentary.

I've been following this one for years and I'm really glad it's finally releasing! My friend and I still fire up the OG Mutant League every now and then on the Gens emulator to keep our rivalry going. I still have my boxed Genesis copy in my closet too!

I haven't played MFL yet so I'm hoping it recaptures that charm and jank of the original. I'm honestly not sure how I feel about the game having an announcer. I love the old crazy coach and player "voices." I also hope it runs on the PC I built in 2010 lol.

Same still have my boxed MLFootball and MLHockey.

Gonna have to wait for a console/Switch version but man, I love some of those pun NFL player names.

Not that long of a wait for the PS4 and Xbone versions, only gotta wait til around February.

god damn what a game. wish i backed it just to support that team

Still can on the website. Two weeks ago I bought the $40 Genesis backerkit and one of the $60 statues to support them. I really hope they put out jerseys or team helmets I would most likely buy a couple, I'm in love with this game it's everything I've wanted from a new Mutant League.

These games were so much fun to play as a kid; they really played into that Garbage Pale Kids humor. I've been playing MLF and MLH on emulators recently. I had to get my handles, but it definitely took me back in time.

Picked this up on Xbox(Game Preview) last night. Only had time to play one game, but I can already tell this is going to get a lot of playtime. The swtich to Blitz style mechanics is perfect for this game.

This game is sooooo good, it sucks that nobody is talking about it.

I'm surprised PC players aren't paying more attention for it considering they're always saying they want Madden.

And sure, this ain't exactly Madden, but football is football!

No major sites are giving it any coverage. They're only going off word of mouth for marketing. Seems they've had a couple twitch streamers do some stuff but no one big. It's shitty because it's one of the best games of the year easily, and I hate sports so that's saying something. Maybe when it hits consoles and gets some more eyes on it it'll have more people talking about it.

Him and Dave Lang tweeted the other day asking whether or not the game is using code from Blitz The League. Lang noticed similarities from the stadium assets and even identical camera angle bugs.

Seems Dynasty Mode is coming as a free update.

Dynasty Mode
The community on Steam and XBox Game Preview Program have requested a season mode with more depth, so the MFL team led by our tech lead, Ivan Zaplava have been working on a feature called Dynasty, which will be delivered to all of you as a FREE update sometime in February / March.

Dynasty Mode allows the User to play multiple seasons and the goal is to win multiple Mayhem Bowls and become an MFL Dynasty.

In Dynasty mode you can pick from any of our 18 teams. These teams will have a very low overall rating when you begin. All of your players will be rookies, and you will have a limited playbook. As you play, your players will gain experience, which you can add and adjust to their individual attributes. So for example, as your Quarterback's Intelligence increases, so does his playbook. As your players gain experience, they can be upgraded from Rookie to Pro to All-Pro, All-Star and even a Legend. User's can also customize their playbooks and swap in and out Dirty Tricks from teams they have defeated.

How will the achievements work on Xbox? Will they retrospectively unlock if you've fulfilled them whilst the game was in Preview?

Looking forward to this. Hoping to get a few tourneys going with my roommate and our friends. Would be perfect for marathoning before the Super Bowl.

There's a barcade across the street from me that has Blitz, and that's virtually the only game we play when we go there. Makes me even more excited that the OG Blitz/Jam announcer is in the game.

Oh damn. Didn't even know this existed. hope it is good. Would love to pick it up if it is. Thanks for mentioning this OP.

I miss games like Blitz: The League, and NHL Hitz. The last "Blitz" and NHL 18's "Threes" just doesn't compare.
