Our take on Football Squad
The football framing may suggest a conventional sports game, but the core activity is an arcade survival battle. Footballs serve as weapons against aliens and machines, while collecting medallions provides the main scoring objective.
What is Football Squad?
Football Squad combines football with an alien-invasion survival game.
Players use balls to destroy alien bugs and machines while collecting medallions. The game draws on early-1980s titles and uses a retro pixel-art presentation. Alien enemies have varied behaviors, creating different threats during play. One or two players can participate, with support for keyboard and Xbox controllers. Its gameplay is simple in structure but described as difficult, centering on movement, ball attacks, survival, and collecting as many medallions as possible. The football event setting frames an arcade-style battle against invading creatures and machines rather than a conventional football match.
