Backbreaker Football is a Football (American Football) game which was released recently on Android, it has also been available for iOS devices (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad) for quite a while. Interestingly the company behind Backbreaker: NaturalMotion creates physics engine for video gaming sysems, their engines are behind games like Red Dead Redemption or Grand Theft Auto IV, pretty good references! Let’s have a look at Backbreaker Football.
In this game you control a football player which has to avoid being tackled by the opposite team on a football field. It’s an arcade game so you can juke, spin, sprint etc. it is incredibly easy to control and the game feels quite rewarding when you avoid nicely a tackle.

Pros
- Great 3D graphics
- Superb player animation, the physics engine is top notch
- Simple gameplay using the phone accelerometer
Cons
- Repetitive: one wave after the other… I guess you can expect it for this kind of game but at this price point it’s okay
- Sound effects are just okay
Final: 7/10
Backbreaker Football is a very enjoyable game, the controls are simple yet quite precise and while it gets repetitive we had a great time playing it.
