BEHOLD THE KICKMEN started as a silly Twitter joke and evolved like a beautiful flower into the year's least-exciting and mostly incorrect Football Simulation. It's football, as seen through the eyes of someone with no understanding of, or interest in, the Laws of Football.

Start at the bottom of the Big Boring British Football Spreadsheet system and grind your way up, gruelling match after gruelling match, to become the best at the football that anyone's ever seen, and win the World Cup for your mantelpiece.

FEATURES: Kicking, Passing, Tackling, Squad Management and Doing Goals over and over. There's even a full Story mode, crammed with overblown melodrama and inane decisions to be made.

TWO WAYS TO PLAY! Hate football? No problem! The entire game can be re-skinned at the flip of a switch into a Dystopian Future Bloodsport!

PLEASE NOTE: Kickmen has NO ONLINE MULTIPLAYER and NO LOCAL MULTIPLAYER, it's Single Player ONLY. Please don't buy it thinking it's at all sociable, because it isn't. Why do you ask? Because I wanted to make a Single Player game, I didn't want to make a Multiplayer game.

Must have been retroactively added to a bundle I bought as I didn't redeem it at the time and apparently the key has now expired.. Kinda annoyed. Looks like a mobile game that's been ported personally, but it has very positive reviews on steam overall so that's a good sign if you are into football. Only put the star rating in because it required it. Gave it middle of road because I don't know if it is worth playing or not. I can't recommend this game because I haven't played it.

It's fun for a while, good humour. The gameplay becomes stale, eventually. It's a shame that it doesn't have multiplayer, that could have helped with longevity.

It's got some interesting mechanics and gameplay that reminded me of a sort of stripped-down Mario Strikers game, but it's humor and gameplay flopped and got repetitive very quickly and I just couldn't shake the fact that the game was trying to be realistic AND unrealistically silly at the same time

Behold the Kickmen is a unique and quirky take on the traditional football (soccer) game genre. Developed by indie game studio Dan Marshall, this game is a refreshing departure from the hyper-realistic and overly complex football simulations that dominate the market. The game's visuals are intentionally simplistic and cartoonish, with players resembling stick figures and the stadiums and surroundings looking like they were drawn in crayon. But don't let the simple visuals fool you, the gameplay is surprisingly deep and challenging. The game's controls are easy to pick up, but mastering them takes time and practice. The game also has a unique scoring system that rewards players for scoring spectacular and unconventional goals, rather than just relying on brute force and precision. This makes for a more creative and exciting gameplay experience. One of the standout features of Behold the Kickmen is its sense of humor. The game is loaded with hilarious commentary and absurd scenarios that will have you laughing out loud. The game doesn't take itself too seriously, and this makes it all the more enjoyable to play. While Behold the Kickmen may not be for everyone, it's a must-play for anyone looking for a fun and lighthearted take on football. It's a great game to play with friends, and its short matches make it perfect for quick gaming sessions. Overall, Behold the Kickmen is a delightful and charming game that's sure to leave a smile on your face.

It's good for arcade-like short play sessions. The game's depth isn't too deep and makes a good casual game when you get used to the controls. It's okay even for me, someone who doesn't really play sports games, but don't expect to put hundreds of hours into this.
