Pro Jank Footy

Pro Jank Footy is a tremendous mess of a game, and I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. It boils down a complicated sport into its purest, fundamental arcade form before breaking it through a chaotic overloading of its simple systems. It’s fun, it’s hilarious, though its biggest flaw, if it even is one, is that it’s best played with mates.

  • Highly fun and chaotic arcade-style Aussie Rules football game with strong Australian culture and humor.
  • Entertaining multiplayer experience, especially local co-op, with crazy powerups and hilarious commentary by Broden Kelly.
  • Captures the fast-paced, unpredictable spirit of Aussie Rules with nostalgic retro visuals and addictive gameplay.
  • Player switching and AI behavior are often frustrating and unintuitive, diminishing gameplay experience.
  • Season mode and single-player content lack depth, replayability, and features like progress saving and team customization.
  • Various bugs, glitches, and missing quality of life features (e.g. tutorial, UI flaws, online matchmaking issues) affect overall polish.

    The gameplay of Pro Jank Footy is praised for its chaotic, fast-paced, and unique roguelike mechanics that create exciting, adrenaline-fueled matches with fun powerup interactions. However, many players find it overly janky and buggy—particularly with player switching, AI behavior, and lack of tutorials—resulting in a steep, sometimes frustrating learning curve and basic mechanical shortcomings. Despite its rough edges, the gameplay’s retro, arcade-style vibe and cultural authenticity resonate well, though improvements in accessibility and polish are needed.

    • “The core gameplay mechanics (with the exception of one) feel smooth and the powerups/debuffs make every match feel exciting.”
    • “It is genuinely astounding a game has so effortlessly blended the deck-building mechanics of Balatro, the jank of Goat Simulator, the pace of NBA Jam and the frenetic energy and brutality of Australian Rules Football.”
    • “Where Pro Jank Footy elevates the excitement and freneticism though is through its unique integration of roguelike mechanics.”
    • “The game does a poor job of explaining its mechanics, controls, and overall systems, leaving you to figure out far too much through trial and error.”
    • “There is a very high learning curve, but it doesn't feel like the satisfying kind where you're gradually mastering increasingly complex mechanics; it feels more like the game simply drops you into the deep end and expects you to figure out how to swim.”
    • “Even if the game were bug free, the footy gameplay is terrible.”

  • humor

    35 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's humor is widely praised for its wacky, silly, and distinctly Australian style, featuring hilarious power-ups, clever commentary by Broden Kelly, and a lighthearted arcade vibe that makes it genuinely funny and enjoyable. While some power-ups can feel annoying and commentary may become repetitive over time, the overall comedic tone enhances the chaotic gameplay and offers a unique, laugh-out-loud experience. This blend of humor and quirky ideas strongly contributes to its charm, especially in multiplayer settings.

    • “Never serious but seriously funny.”
    • “The humor is great and the idea is super interesting.”
    • “The commentary is amazing too, had me laughing out loud repeatedly, I can't recommend this game enough.”

  • graphics

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 24% neutral mentions, 38% negative mentions

    The game's graphics feature a distinctive retro pixel-art style that captures a vibrant, Aussie-inspired aesthetic, enhancing the fast-paced, adrenaline-filled gameplay. The visuals are engaging and perfectly complement the humorous commentary and chaotic game atmosphere. However, the absence of customizable graphic or difficulty settings may limit player accessibility.

    • “The whole style of it is so easy to get lost in, the visuals, the commentary, the sound, and humor are just Australiana.”
    • “It nails the retro aesthetic and the fast paced gameplay style similar to the likes of NBA Jam.”
    • “Pro Jank Footy’s visual pixel-art style obviously takes cues from Jam, but more importantly it shares Jam’s tense adrenaline-inducing end-to-end gameplay, making every match a rush of the senses.”
    • “The visuals are extremely crunchy.”
    • “The absence of difficulty options/graphic settings/audio settings/gameplay options/in-game tutorial/surmountable learning curve also hurts the game considerably.”
    • “Pro Jank Footy’s visual pixel-art style obviously takes cues from NBA Jam.”

  • music

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music in the game is widely praised for its fantastic and immersive soundtrack, blending jungle, house, and classic rock influences. It complements the gameplay well, enhancing intensity and capturing Aussie culture through team songs and thematic elements. Overall, the music adds a vibrant and engaging layer to the game's experience.

    • “The wildcard system can make a regular footy game into a broken chaotic mess (in all the right ways), and the music is fantastic.”
    • “Outside of the gameplay, between the commentary, the team names/designs and songs, and all the other little nuggets, there is real AFL and Aussie culture bursting at the seams here.”
    • “Supporting Kelly’s masterful voicework is the game’s generally brilliant soundtrack; you’ll find yourself honing into the game with extra intensity as a mixtape of jungle, house, and classic rock clearly inspired by the chat's entrances.”

  • stability

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    20% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 80% negative mentions

    The game's stability is notably poor, with persistent bugs and glitches affecting gameplay even after multiple patches. These issues, including problematic AI and erratic player switching, detract significantly from the experience and contribute to an overall lack of polish.

    • “The game is most notably a buggy mess; even after two patches, it's still full of bugs and glitches.”
    • “But the gameplay is janky (not in a good way), and even basic sports game features such as reasonable automated player switching are buggy to the point of being unplayable.”
    • “Buggy mess and not much polish.”

  • replayability

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The game offers fresh and varied matches that enhance replayability, especially in multiplayer. However, solo players may find limited incentive to replay, as modes like the season challenge are engaging but lack long-term depth. Overall, its simple arcade style provides quick fun but sacrifices some quality of life and replay value.

    • “After the last couple of updates, the game is much more playable now.”
    • “It made each match we played completely different from the last, which kept it fresh and replayable.”
    • “Overall, it's a good footy game to jump into for some quick fun but at the moment is lacking in replay value for solo players.”
    • “I get the 'simple arcade' vibe, but I think the game strictly adheres to it at the expense of quality of life and replayability.”
    • “Each playthrough of season takes about an hour, and while the mode is a great challenge and results in the game’s most frantic matches, it doesn’t offer much of an incentive for replayability.”

  • story

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    Users feel the game lacks a compelling or evolving story, missing the emergent narrative and team-building elements that enhance sports games. The storyline is seen as underdeveloped and disappointing.

    • “My favorite part of sports games is the emergent story that develops as you get to know and craft your team over multiple seasons, and there's none of that here.”

  • grinding

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is described as tedious and unnecessarily difficult, compounded by poor onboarding and limited accessibility or difficulty options. This leads to a frustrating experience that can feel unpleasant almost immediately.

    • “I really wanted to get into pro jank footy, but the experience is made unnecessarily difficult by a combination of tedious gameplay, poor onboarding, and a lack of basic accessibility and difficulty options.”
    • “Once you start figuring things out, the actual gameplay can become pretty tedious right from the beginning, making it hard to enjoy the matches.”

  • monetization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game features no microtransactions, providing a straightforward and enjoyable experience free from monetization pressures.

    • “No microtransactions, no nonsense, just good fun.”

  • emotional

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users praise the game for its unique and heartfelt emotional experience, describing it as an authentic and genuine take on both football and the roguelike sports genre.

    • “Simply calling pro jank footy a great football game would be doing it an incredible disservice – it is a unique take on the sport and roguelike sports genre that delivers a genuine and heartfelt authenticity befitting its myriad of influences.”
