Foundation Footy: Rugby League is a top-down arcade Rugby League game set in the early 20th century. The focus is on fun, competitive and smooth game play. Historic teams with modern rules.
The NSWRFL's fifteen clubs, from the nine 1908 originals to Parramatta and Manly in 1947
Fourteen Brisbane clubs from the QRL
Fifteen founder-era English clubs from the Northern Union
Ten representative sides and eighteen national teams
One player against the computer, two on the same screen, or two online
League: take your club through a season, up the ladder and into the finals
Series: Tests, tours and tournaments between the nations and the states, each in the format it was last played
Sets of six and the play-the-ball. Punt, grubber, bomb and field goal. Cut-out passes. Big hits. 40/20 and 20/40s, two-point field goals, short drop-outs, bat-backs and blind-side plays. Every match goes on a stat sheet: post-contact metres, tackles in your own 20, penalties conceded and drop-outs forced.
Design a club from the jersey cut down to each man's face and build, then drop it into a custom league alongside any clubs you like. Share it online.
Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and Steam Deck controllers are recognised by name, with the right buttons drawn on screen.
The timekeeper's bell, the referee's whistle and calls, and Alex Lithgow's march Invercargill under the menus.
