Alpaca Ball: Allstars

Goat Simulator Meets Drunken FIFA

Frankly, I don’t even know where to start with this one how are you supposed to write about a game where you control soccer-playing alpacas? Much less ones that can rowboats in the overworld?

I can’t stop laughing, and if this review needs to get anything across, it’s that Alpaca Ball: Allstars (ABA) is as comedic as it is addictive. Developed by the wisecrack minds over at Salt Castle Studio, I can honestly say that playing this game is like trying to play digital foosball using Goat Simulator-style physics after everyone has had a little too much to drink.

First and foremost, ABA is fundamentally a party game, which means nobody should be taking this too seriously.

Aesthetically, the game makes its stand clear right from the get-go. The arenas and the overworld are done up in an adorably cartoonish fashion. It’s simple, daft, and even features a jolly South American vibe to wrap it all up.
