Brutal Sports Football is a 1993 sports video game developed by Teque London and originally published by Millennium Interactive for the Amiga. It was re-published for MS-DOS and Amiga CD32, and later became the first third-party title published for the Atari Jaguar. The first entry in the Brutal Sports series, the game is a fictional style of football played against human or computer-controlled opponents. It features a different take on american football by emphasising the violent aspect of the sport.
The studio began production in 1992, initially building a beat 'em up role-playing game, and later deciding that a fictional sport would be easier for audiences to understand. During play testing, the staff decided to emphasize the violent aspects of the sport. Critical reception for Brutal Sports Football has varied depending on the platform; praise was given to the visuals, gameplay, and multiplayer, but others expressed mixed opinions regarding the audio and violence. Some reviewers also criticized the choppy scrolling and confusing action. The game was followed by Wild Cup Soccer (1994).
