Touchdown: Armor League is an all-new game that takes aspects of American Football, and mashes it together with traditional arena shooter genre mechanics in 6v6 matches to make something that is unlike anything we’ve seen to date. Yes, the Rocket League inspirations are immediately apparent, and why not? Rocket League is one of this generation’s most influential games, and it’s only natural that Action Sports games would begin to take off. Enter Touchdown: Armor League, who launched their
Kickstarter campaign earlier today with a goal of $50,000.
If you’ve ever seen an NFL game on FOX, and imagined what it might look like to see their big beefy robot character play in a game, you kind of have a starting point on what to expect from Touchdown: Armor League. Players jump into one of several different power suits, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
Ares Games' Producer and Director, Wei Gu had this to say:
"Fast-paced combat and balanced competitive gameplay is the core of Touchdown: Armor League. All of us at Ares Games are really excited to share this exhilarating style of mechanized combat with sports gameplay. We want to create a game with maximum creativity independently, and with your help we can bring this project to life!"
