Mario Strikers Battle League Football

The game was generally praised for its chaotic, over-the-top gameplay style, multiplayer, and presentation, though it received criticism for its lack of available characters at launch, and its lack of single-player content.

A fresh take on Mario sports

Mario Strikers: Battle League Football brings a high-energy, arcade-style five versus five football (soccer) experience to the Nintendo Switch, packed with all the action and chaos you’d expect from a Mario game. Mario Strikers: Battle League is the third game in the Mario Strikers series.

This title builds on the series’ legacy of over-the-top football, mixing strategy, power-ups, and some downright ridiculous moves. The emphasis is on fast-paced gameplay, where strategy blends with intense action to create a unique and thrilling football experience.

Customise your team

What sets Battle League apart is its focus on team customisation. Players can choose their favourite Mario characters and kit them out with different gear that affects their stats. From speed to power, each piece of equipment offers tactical advantages. You can tweak your team’s abilities and playstyle, ensuring that every match plays out differently based on your choices.

Multiplayer mayhem

Whether you’re playing locally with friends or taking your skills online, Mario Strikers: Battle League Football shines in multiplayer mode. Up to eight players can play local multiplayer matches, with players using just one Joy-Con each, allowing for a four-versus-four game, with the computer handling goalkeeping.

Teaming up with or competing against others is where the game truly excels, with chaotic gameplay that keeps everyone on their toes. Whether you’re playing a quick match or partaking in the club system, it’s clear that this game thrives in its competitive environment.
