In theory, while on offense you grab the ball and move up the field, using your other players to cover the ball carrier so he can score. What you do during these turns depends on if you’re on offense or defense. Like any sports game, whoever has the most points after each game, consisting of 16 turns, wins. Players can move one or two squares past their natural limit, but if you do, you risk them passing out and falling down for that turn. There’s an invisible grid on the field, and you can move all your players a set number of squares each turn. Surprisingly, the game isn’t played like Madden, for example, rather it’s a turn-based strategy game not too dissimilar to Wasteland 2 or Shadowurn Hong Kong. It’s based on American football, but seems to be closer to rugby in its rule-set. Take American football, throw in a bunch of supernatural creatures, make it ultra-violent, have two humorous monsters commentate on the matches, and make the whole thing a turn-based strategy game.īlood Bowl 2 is a sports game, kind of. Blood Bowl 2 might have one of the most innovative set-ups for a game I’ve ever seen.
