Cover for Pro Jank Footy

Pro Jank Footy

Pro Jank Footy is an absurd and over-the-top arcade sports game. Score a goal? Your opponent picks a game-changing power-up. Hinder your opponents, increase your footy abilities with powers that give your team strong legs, or turn the gameplay completely on its head by transforming everyone into footballs - the choice is yours! Outplay, out-kick, and out-jank your mates in local multiplayer. Or, if you’re shy, conquer single-player season mode.

What critics said

Praise

  • Despite my slight issues with how the game plays, I still reckon Pro Jank Footy is worth a crack for those looking for a fun arcadey game of Aussie Rules and a nostalgic throwback to a time when footy games were simple, particularly at budget friendly price point it comes in at.
  • Not since Aussie Rules Footy on the NES have we seen an Aussie Rules game just try to make something that’s pick-up-and-play. It’s always bigger, more professional and more complex. Jank does away with all that and just gives us a footy game anyone can play, and it's best when have someone else to play it against. As it stands, the AI is just too much, and the liberal use of and persistent power-ups just gets in the way of the fun for me. At least with another human, you can both be bothered by them. I’m not sure how it took this long to get an arcade Footy game, but I’m glad it’s here, even if it’s a bit much at times.

Criticism

  • Despite its charming humor, chaotic arcade energy, and a few cool ideas for modifier cards, it is a rather weak game. Issues with unresponsive controls, clunky gameplay, jokes that wear thin very quickly, and a severe lack of game modes make the title feel more like a one-off novelty than a proper sports game.
