Halfbrick Sports: Football is the latest pitch to try and get you onto their subscription service

Halfbrick Sports: Football delivers furious 3v3 soccer action, but there's a catch: it's exclusive to Halfbrick+. Can this fast-paced sports sim convince you to subscribe?

The beautiful game, often a slow burn, gets a thrilling makeover in Halfbrick Sports: Football. Launching March 20th on iOS and Android, this game offers a refreshing alternative to slower, more detailed soccer simulations. It boldly discards traditional rules, eliminating referees and even goalkeepers! The focus is pure, unadulterated attacking action—a race to the goal.

Customize your player and dive into 3v3 matches against friends in private or public games. Given Halfbrick's pedigree (Jetpack Joyride!), the fast-paced action comes as no surprise. However, the game's exclusivity to Halfbrick+ is a significant hurdle.

What is Halfbrick+?

You might recall our previous coverage of Halfbrick+, highlighted by the return of Steppy Pants. This subscription service, similar to Netflix Games, provides access to a diverse library of games for a single subscription fee.

This subscription model, however, presents a challenge for Halfbrick Sports: Football. While Halfbrick boasts a strong track record (Fruit Ninja!), it remains uncertain whether enough players will subscribe solely to play this title.

This doesn't diminish the game's potential quality. But if you're looking for soccer alternatives, explore our list of top iOS and Android sports games for more options.
