Yeah. Day 0 purchase.
This looks awesome. Frozen Synapse + Blood Bowl? I'm in
Also really makes me want to pick up Frozen Synapse again.
I'm not a football fan (constant clock-stopping kills my ability to be interested), so I've never gotten into any football video games before, but between the robots and the visual style and tactical gameplay, plus the fact that there'll be a Linux version, this looks like it has the necessary hooks to sucker me into a purchase. I just wish 2014 wasn't so far away!
Reminds me I need to pick up Frozen Synapse and the expansion.
Can we just call this "The FriendZone?"
I'd prefer a botanical theme with Frondzone.
Well, Frozen Synapse is one of my all time favourite games, but I can't really say football appeals to me. The soundtrack however is a day 1 purchase
Definitely giving this a look, but I fear it won't be half as tactical as FS.
Huge nerd boner for this game.
Maybe this will speak to me in the way Blood Bowl never quite did.
I did quite like Frozen Synapse.
I wasn't sold on the idea until I watched the trailer. Now, I think it's something I'll definitely try out.
The devs hinted on Twitter that they'll be doing an Alpha-access pre-order.
You should check out Second and Ten - a really good American football (replay style) game, from that hotbed of all things NFL, Sheffield.
I'm looking forward to this, I just hope they learned something from the debacle of a launch for Synapse, where it would take ten minutes to log into a server and games were server specific.. so I had to log into UK2 to play that game, then over to UK3 to play another, then onto Texas 1, spending a lot of time watching the "connecting" message only to find out my opponent hadn't made a move yet.
Btw, I forgot to mention that the key will be used for Steam "eventually". Right now it's a direct download.
Aaand, I have a beta key again as Grumps is passing on it until it's on Steam.
So, if someone wants to go halvsies (or less) with me hit me up.
Played a couple rounds with Tkyl so far.
Overall it's a lot less complex in terms of game mechanics than Frozen Synapse. One of the few added actions that carried over to this is the ability to delay your movement. I think having it less complex will make this a more fun and accessible game as time goes on.
So far it's a lot of fun and pretty engaging. If you like football you will love this. if you don't like football you will still like this.
Of course the music is fantastic as with Synapse.
I am TempestBlayze in the game. Friend me up and challenge me.
Wow. This game is awesome. While it's true the base mechanics are a bit simpler, the game is still very complex. The game is all about zoning your opponent out of key areas, throwing screens and faking your opponent out.
Send me a challenge in game if you want to play. Name is Tkyl.
Hmm, really enjoyed their last game and this does look pretty fun. Might pick this up tonight after some more thought.

I played a couple AI games and... it doesn't grab me the way Frozen Synapse immediately did, but it's a grower.
