First gameplay of football spin-off Behold the Kickmen

Size Five Games' Dan Marshall is a man who doesn't like football, yet he's decided to create a football game. Behold the Kickmen is the ludicrous fruit of his labour.

It's a deliberately silly take on the beautiful game with players doing goals, putting crazy amounts of spin on big kicks, and dash strafing their way out of trouble. The gameplay video released showcases the game's mechanics as well as its unique take on some of the rules of the sport.

There are no throws, goal kicks, or corners, and of course it's three strikes and you're out, so if you foul three times you're going to be down a Kickman. Goals are worth different points depending on where you score them from too.

This early build also lets players customise the game to their liking, from match length and sky God (weather) to skill levels and the number of players per side (anywhere from five to regulation nine or up to fifteen!).

There's no release date for Behold the Kickmen just yet; will it go toe-to-toe with FIFA and PES this year?!
