Super Blood Hockey

Super Awesome Hockey!!!

Have you ever wanted to play a game that reminds you of those NES and SNES days, but with more gore?
Well here it is. This game delivers a fun bloody arcade style hockey, with one of the best franchise modes out there. For roughly 20$ CAD 4cents US, it's totes worth it EH!

Graphics/presentation

Looks like a sweeter version of ice hockey for the nes and has hints of hit the ice. The blood is Tarantino levels of amount. The Character designs, the moustaches are awesome the locker room is well done with everything the players/prisoners need. The hockey game looks great the animation is funny. As far as graphics go there isn't much to discuss except it's great. The GUI is very friendly.

Control

Smooth as wet shit. The game has perfect control, you can set up one timers easily, the fighting and skating controls well, there are no complaints, it's not like newer hockey games where you're not sure how to move or why you lost the puck. The Checking is spot on and funny.

Sound

The hits and fighting and music are all awesome. There seems to be 2 tracks for the hockey part of the game, they're both fun to listen to. The sounds accentuate whatever is happening.

One of the best

franchise mode

out there. You buy a team from a country's prison. You sell a kidney and hire prisoners to be a part of your team you pick from a catalogue of players to play for your team. They all have very stupid funny names that are Country specific. Americans have names of food, Canada has french last names. You set the players to train specific attribute, also control their diet. There are stats that increase after each day and after each game. These stats are very important, especially Brain damage, if this is too high you risk your players death. You play 3, 3minute periods of 4 on 4 hockey. You have fatsos, snipers and all around players. Zamboni comes out after each period and if your players don't get into the dressing rooms, they get run over. When you enter a fight, the team that loses the fight loses a player with usually a funny injury like a “perforated testicle” and they're down on the ice until they're better, or if they're dead (yes that can happen) they're down for the rest of the game. Sometimes injuries are long lasting, you can actually pull the plug and kill the inmate. This is probably the best practice as when they get better their brain damage is high. There is a sketchy guy outside near the dumpster (if someone died that day, their body will be in the dumpster) and he offers drugs the help bulk up on an attribute. Be careful as this could potentially kill a player if they overdose. Save before using substances. You play a season then playoffs and then championship. If you win the cup it will be near the weight room. You can do a few seasons, they are short.

Other modes like

Challenge mode

offer a break from the franchise and put you to the test with 8 on 4 matches that you have to win, or You can't switch your player... etc. Lots of fun and each one unlocks an achievement.

And

Tournament mode

offers a “story mode” where you play as a team until you become champions like one season I guess and there is an ending screen different for each country.

Conclusion

Sick ass game for not too much money. There needs a sequel and other sports to be made like football or soccer, golf would be cool, like you hit the ball through people. Anyways buy this game dummies.

Bought it in the switch and had a ton of fun. Bought it again for my stem deck.
Love the style. Still need to get better keep losing on easy

great gameplay, only thing i would like to see is instant replay for goals (or even random events). also add some stuff in-between periods like a kiss cam or something stupid. great game though all the way.

i did the needful as a failed coach.

A super fun alternative to the NHL games since they aren't on Steam. With retro graphics, this game is sure to play on whatever device you find yourself playing on. Definitely a lot of dark humor in this game!

TAKE DRUGS WIN GAMES

ABSOLUTELY WORTH THE $2 I spent!!!

The game plays very well and is challenging enough to keep you on the edge of your seat. The Franchise mode is also hilarious and equally engaging and difficult because you have to manage the players and they can DIE during the game and leave you SOL.

My friends watched me play a season on stream and everybody was cheering and laughing their asses off.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC GAME

Great game if you want the spiritual successor to Blades of Steel with a bit of potty humour.

10/10 Music as well, great tunes. Would have liked the ability for CPU vs CPU matches but that is a minor want.

So darn flunking good.

Old school arcade style 4v4 hockey game and one of the best of our limited hockey options on PC.

Just over the top enough. Would like to see a touch more depth and a bit more in the way of configuration and customization in the franchise mode.

super FUN hockey 10/10

it's a silly goose time

NES Ice Hockey with LOTS of blood. Funny game.

This hockey game really nails the most important part, which is the gameplay. The skating, passing and shooting are all there and works really well. The tone of the game is silly and the franchise mode is hilariously brutal. I've only played it solo so far, but I've had a really good time the whole time. The challenge modes give you some variation and the tournament mode does that too, but the meat of the game for me has been with the franchise mode where you buy players, specify their training and food regimen, possibly give them drugs (be careful not to overdose or they'll die), rehab injuries or buy new players when they die because of stuff like "incredibly strained testicle".

good game, unfortunatly the game is rigged (bots). they have nothin to gain from this i dunno why they decide to do that.

This game is sick! Please make a baseball or football game like this lol

This is basically the classic NES Ice Hockey, but puffed up with modern affordances. Great for couch co-op with competitive family.

It's an ok game if you want to play something different, you really get excited about hitting the other players but in terms of story or gameplay I find it very repetitive.
6.8/10

Its a great {violent} tribute to old school hockey video games. It cracks you up with their well done animations, and actions. Brutal to play with family!

great bloody hockey fun

What a wild concept for a game! I highly recommend taking on the franchise mode with three other friends. Two thumbs up!

In-depth franchise mode got me hooked.

Have you ever seen one of those Hockey fight videos from Quebec? you know where they're just one or two steps away from assault with a deadly weapon. Yeah this is the video game version of that.

Super fun, good challenge, could use more stuff to do in franchise mode though... There comes a point where you can have tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of dollars but nothing to really spend it on...

Great little game. Tough to score until you get the hang of it. Love the no swap rule that can be used once unlocked. Smashing into the others as an Enforcer never gets old.

no very easy mode and easy isnt easy. hard on beginners otherwise fun

This review suffered a FATAL injury
Significantly exploded nipple

I went into a boxing game and a hockey match broke out.

In the world of half-baked sports simulators, this game stand out as a statement of "more fun = better experience with a video game."
Like the 2k of old and the few retro fifa games (football/soccer), this game is unadulterated fun and nothing else. I have very little experience with hockey but this game singlehandly made me a fan, even though I am pretty sure the real thing doesn't involve fatal groin injuries and inmates haha. There is an addictive joy to this game that is brilliant from the get go and so rewarding to engage with.
It has it's flaws (the pass mechanic, the goal scoring is one dimensional etc etc) but even with its small flaws it delivers a fun and thoroughly enjoyable experience as an arcade sports game.
Try this, you'll love it (especially if you are like me and are frustrated with the AAA sports sims).

Super Blood Hockey is a great combination of an accurate sports simulation and complete video game madness.

Truly one of the hockey games of all time!


The dev also just split with his publisher, so be nice and leave him a positive review if you like his games. He seems like a great guy and his games are nuts!
It would help him a lot.

Disclaimer, I've mostly played this game on my Switch. I am bad at this game. I really suck. I wish I didn't, but it's probably a skill issue. That being said, this game is a lot of fun. I feel like I'm watching the Stanley Cup playoffs every time I play this game with how it gets the blood rushing. 10/10

Sick game

It’s a beautiful combination between NHL Hitz 2003 and Game Dev games. I can’t rely on EA to release NHL so this has exceeded my expectations and is incredibly fun. Finally, a decent hockey game on steam!!
