    Mutant Football League isn’t your ordinary game of football. Player deaths, field hazards, and dirty tricks make this a unique game from others that take place on the gridiron. If you’re not a fan of the Dirty Tricks mechanic or are okay with your team being preset instead of drated, then you might not enjoy Dynasty Mode as much, but with Exhibition, Season, and Playoff modes playable without them or several other options, Mutant Football League is still an entertaining game on its own.

    Mutant Football League: Dynasty Edition is a respectable spiritual successor to a legendary game. Yes, technically Dynasty Edition is added DLC, but it is the first to come out on a physical format and also on the Nintendo Switch. Even though the football action is a 1-to-1 representation of NFL Blitz, the strategy involved from the Dirty Tricks and field traps add a deeper and strategic experience to football. The Dynasty Mode is a worthy edition as has enough elements to make it stand out on its own. For $29.99, the package that is here is worth the price for a football fan of any level. Football nerds will all enjoy the name and team parodies where casual football fans will enjoy the action and comedy on the field.

    The main game Mutant Football League: Dynasty Edition is just fine, but Dynasty mode is a fumbled snap returned for a touchdown.

    For all it aspires to deliver, Mutant Football League is a refreshingly vulgar, entertaining take on a tried and true football formula.

    A bit more polish and refinement could have elevated this up from being a fun, violent game of American football to something a bit more exciting and special.

    This game is so much fun, I've never played with such

    With the addition of Dynasty this is now my favorite sports game. It's funny, violent and easy to play! Love it.

    First of all, ever since I picked up this game on xbox, I had alot of controversial topics to say about this game in terms of football and howFirst of all, ever since I picked up this game on xbox, I had alot of controversial topics to say about this game in terms of football and how this works in a game. For ex. one of the things that really frustrates the game are the dirty tricks for both offense and defense they are use to score/fumble the ball and making them the turning point of the game as well bribing the ref which are the game changers as well. I never really enjoyed alot of this before and I tend to rage alot into this game. After I quit playing this game, I had these moments where I watch more gameplay to see how this game works and what are the work arounds I can adjust to and seeing how fun this game really turns out, I decided to buy the dynasty edition on switch and played how the game originally goes and I surely had alot fun snd I adapt more into this game efficiently. Then when I got a ps4 gave me the vibes to even own the game on that system as well and I officially stick to the PS4/Switch version of the game. Here are my pros for this game
    1.Overall greatest football games I ever enjoyed.
    2.NFL parody makes this alot insanely good no one would ever imagine.
    3. The Design and Graphics makes this unforgettable.
    4. No matter what platform you pick it up on, Still is MFL
    5.Lots of modes that ate enjoyable to play including the Dynasty Mode that allows you build/draft your own team from Season 1-5
    Now are my cons:
    1.The AI during gameplay have bad intelligence to the point where they don’t notice or how to be aware of the hazards/traps that can kill them and have be out of the game permanently unless resurrected.
    2. I do enjoy the ditry tricks now but sometimes can be overwhelming as they are biggest game changers on both Offense/Defense.
    3.Some bugs/Gltiches yet not be fixed or addressed at some point.
    4.Online isn’t too bad but could be even better and be nice if cross platform eventually happens.
    I’d say this is a 8.0/10
