Rocket League's great and all, but you know what would make it even more great? Goofy alpacas.
Thankfully, the aptly named Alpaca Ball: Allstars has appeared on the scene to provide us with exactly that. The game, from Salt Castle Studio and Badland Publishing, will be launching on Switch across Europe and North America this October. It's pretty barmy and, as you might imagine, includes a wonderful range of soccer-playing alpacas.
It's actually inspired by games like NBA Jam, with craziness seemingly at the core of every second of gameplay. Alongside its competitive modes, in which up to eight players can participate simultaneously, the game features a career mode for one or two players. Here, you'll need to travel halfway around the world to compete in all sorts of alpaca ball games.
The game launches on Switch and Steam on 15th October, and will also arrive on other consoles at a later date. If you're after something lighthearted in these gloomy times, perhaps this will do the trick?

Well, I don’t know about you, but llama go and get this game when it comes out.
Still no Pro Evolution on the Switch, but at least we get this.
@Apportal uhm why?
The hockey mode could be great if it's done right.
It’s so incredibly crazy...
That it might just work!
I can see me taking a gamble on this at some point.
I'm not into football but I can imagine me playing this game
@Blooper987 I honestly just did it for the pun. I’m not actually interested.
Looks more like FIFA street
Is that Local 8-player multiplayer?
I buy nearly every game that supports 8-player local multiplayer (same console!).
This looks crazy - I can't decide if it is brilliant or will create a new level of frustration previously unknown to man - but I can't wait to try it!
Is is just llamas and soccer?
You know, this actually looks interesting.
Look - I am a cultured individual. I love quirky games. That being said, I am unfortunately going to be taking a pass on this one. It just doesn't look like the game for me.
Well that song was catchy...
What makes this different than a basic arcade soccer game with llama skins? Not seeing long-term appeal here.
Carl Wheezer would be all over this shiz.
@Kilroy Well, you see, the appeal can be summed up in this manner.
It's a game where llamas play soccer.
I'm intrigued!
@Apportal I'm in.
Whaaa??? Is this Alpacalypse now? I feel like alpacas, sloths, and owls are the new hip new faces of the animal kingdom. I just notice at any dept. store you’ll see one of these mugs on a shirt, stuffed toy, or coffee mug.
That trailer made me smile! I think I might love this game. Looking forward to trying it.
@Apportal Ha ha, that humor isn't lost on me, but it's not enough to buy.
When i play my brother and score 5 goals ill exclaim its an alpacalypse and when he equalises he can say hes cancelled the alpacalypse!
