Sports games are undoubtedly one of the most popular genres in all of gaming. However, that also means that if you make your own title, you need to “spice things up” to help it stand out. Enter SFTP – Super Football Tactics Pro, a game that mixes football…with checkers. No, really, they’re doing that! Developed by Sparkling Vinegar and published by Tiny Dragon Games, the title has you playing football on a checkers-style board, but with football players, and you’ll need to think really strategically if you want to get to the endzone and win.

The game has surprising depth, as SFTP – Super Football Tactics Pro has both a story mode, multiplayer mode, tournaments, special abilities that can help you achieve victory or withstand enemy onslaughts, and a level of self-awareness that makes the commentary truly hilarious. This piece of football/checkers madness drops next month, but a demo is available now on Steam, and a trailer dropped to help welcome it into the world:
