Brutal, crazy, tactical… this is BLOOD BOWL! The cult deadly sport returns with a new video game of fantasy football faithfully utilising the latest rules of the board game and new content. Create your team, then crush, mulch, and cheat your way to the top... leave your opponents in the graveyard.
Put on your boots, strap on your helmet, adjust your shoulder pads and chest plate... and (discreetly) tuck a sharp dagger into your belt.
War in the Old World has vanished as the inhabitants decided to resolve their disputes by playing the sacred sport of the god Nuffle: Blood Bowl. And yet, it is no less bloody than the battlefields it replaced. Murder, mutilation, cheating, corruption, witchcraft, and even divine interventions come thick and fast on the pitch, to the delight of all spectators!
- Relentless, not brainless – Take command of a team from 12 available races, each with unique traits, and stop your opponents in their tracks by carefully positioning your players. Dodge or ruthlessly eliminate anyone who stands in your way, and get into the end zone to score the decisive touchdown! The best strategists should of course have the advantage, but... who knows? A rampaging troll might eat a teammate and change the course of the match.
- You are the boss – Create your team, recruit your players, customise their appearance, emblems, and armour, hire cheerleaders and a coach, and then participate in the wildest competitions in the Old World. But beware: injuries are a daily occurrence and it is more than likely that some of your players will be carried off the pitch in a body bag, signalling the definitive end of a once-promising career…
