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

Halfbrick Sports: Football delivers frantic 3v3 soccer action, but there's a catch: it's exclusive to Halfbrick+.

Can this fast-paced sports sim convince you to subscribe?

Forget drawn-out matches. Halfbrick Sports: Football brings the excitement of soccer to your fingertips with lightning-fast 3v3 gameplay, launching March 20th on iOS and Android. This game offers a refreshing alternative to slower, more simulation-heavy soccer titles. It boldly ditches traditional rules, eliminating referees and even goalkeepers! The focus is pure, unadulterated attacking action – a race to the goal.

Customize your player and compete in 3v3 matches against friends or other players, both privately and publicly. Given Halfbrick's history with action-packed hits like Jetpack Joyride, this fast-paced approach to soccer comes as no surprise. However, there's a significant caveat: the game is exclusively available through the Halfbrick+ subscription service.

What is Halfbrick+? You might recall our previous coverage of Halfbrick+, which saw the return of the popular title Steppy Pants. This subscription service operates similarly to Netflix Games, offering access to a diverse library of games for a single subscription fee.

This subscription model, however, presents a potential hurdle for Halfbrick Sports: Football. While Halfbrick boasts a strong development history, including the hugely successful Fruit Ninja, it remains uncertain whether a sufficiently large player base will readily subscribe for access.

This doesn't diminish the potential quality of the upcoming release. But if you're looking for soccer alternatives, numerous options exist. Explore our list of top sports games on iOS and Android for some excellent choices.
