The game

Soccer Punch is a fast arcade football brawler built around heavy, mechanical robots. Every player on your team is a chassis you own: bolt armour to its hardpoints, swap parts from rival manufacturers and send it back out when it's worn.

Matches are short and loud. Jab to clear space, charge through a defender, slide the striker, then bury the shot. Knock a robot down hard enough and it short-circuits on the turf until it reboots. The keepers are always AI. Everyone else is fair game.

  • ExhibitionQuick matches, no sign-in needed.
  • CareerEarn credits, repair wear and grow your roster.
  • Split-screenLocal multiplayer on one screen.
  • OnlineLobbies of up to four humans a side, with friend invites.

The makers

Six rival manufacturers sell the frames and the plating. Mix them, chase upgrades and build the team nobody wants to mark.

Each maker builds armour in light, standard and heavy tiers for the torso, arms and legs, so a robot's look tells you exactly how hard it's going to hit.

  • TitanForge Dynamics
  • Velosyn Labs
  • Blitztek, weaponized motion
  • Gravitas Industries
  • Helix Cybernetics
  • NeuroSync Robotics

On the pitch

Fists and feet

Jab, cross, haymaker, charge, juke and slide, plus headers, chips and scissor kicks.

Weighty robots

Motion built for machines: compressed crouches, hard landings, stabilised heads.

Bolt-on upgrades

Armour, hydraulics and servos fit onto hardpoints across the frame.

Knockdowns

Stagger, knockdown, short circuit, reboot. A downed robot is a gap in the defence.
