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?

Forget slow, methodical soccer simulations. Launching March 20th on iOS and Android, Halfbrick Sports: Football throws you into fast-paced, 3v3 matches. This bold take on the beautiful game even ditches referees and goalkeepers, focusing purely on the thrill of attacking and scoring. It’s all about those strikers!

Customize your footballer and challenge friends in private 3v3 matches or jump into public games. From the creators of Jetpack Joyride, expect a high-octane, action-packed experience. However, there's a key detail: this game is only available through Halfbrick+.

What is Halfbrick+? You might recall our previous coverage of Halfbrick+, highlighted by the return of Steppy Pants. This subscription service operates similarly to Netflix Games, providing access to multiple titles for a single subscription fee.

This subscription model, however, could be a double-edged sword for Halfbrick Sports: Football. While Halfbrick boasts a strong track record, including the iconic Fruit Ninja, it remains uncertain whether enough dedicated players will subscribe solely for this game.

The game's quality is undeniable, but the subscription barrier might deter some players. If you're looking for alternative sports games, check out our list of top sports games on iOS and Android.
