Get ready to embark on a delightful journey with Pup Champs, an upcoming mobile game that's set to launch on both iOS and Android platforms on May 19th. This unique title brings together the world of football and the irresistible charm of adorable pups, but with a twist—it's not your typical sports simulator. Instead, Pup Champs is an engaging puzzle game that challenges you to maneuver your team strategically across the field, making precise passes and crosses to score goals while evading the opposing team.
What makes Pup Champs even more appealing is its accessibility. Designed to be enjoyed by casual fans, you don't need to be a football expert or understand complex rules like the offside rule to succeed. The game also weaves in an endearing underdog story, where you step into the shoes of a retired soccer coach mentoring a young team on their journey to becoming amateur football champions.
Launching as a free-to-start title, Pup Champs offers an initial set of 20 puzzles to get new players started. While the concept of dogs playing football might seem like a natural fit for a sports sim, especially following events like the Puppy and Kitten Bowl, Pup Champs surprises with its puzzle-centric approach. Developed by Afterburn, the team behind acclaimed games like Railbound, Golf Peaks, and Pulsar, this game combines cuteness with challenging gameplay, ensuring both style and substance.
