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.

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.

Good game for messing around

Fun little game that’s roughly about soccer. The controls are a bit frustrating at first, but you unlock more abilities as you progress. The dialogue is funny and overall this is a fun time killer.

Behold the Kickmen is a soccer game that, while not exceptional, is also not a bad choice for players looking for a casual sports game. The gameplay is simple and easy to pick up, with players controlling their team as they try to score goals and win matches. While the controls can be a bit clunky at times, they are generally responsive and allow for a decent level of precision. The graphics are decent and provide a decent representation of a soccer match, with players and the ball moving smoothly around the field. While the game doesn't offer anything particularly innovative or unique, it's a solid choice for players looking for a basic soccer game to pass the time with.

I am not someone who would buy FIFA 22 or any soccer (football) game, so I tried “Behold The Kickman” thinking I wouldn’t like it. I could not be more wrong! Even the demonstration on how to play was great and I learned how to play at the same time. Sometimes you just want to sit down and play and “Behold The Kickman” is perfect. Just some fun and strategy. It’s not an easy game, but one you get the hang of it, you cannot put this game down. Perfect for my Steamdeck. OI OI OI! I love this game! :)

The game is nice and fun, but eventually felt repetitive after a bit. More content needs to be added to give the game more flavour.
