Key highlight

Studs Up! Win Ugly is a five-a-side football brawler with a side-on faux-3D pitch, where goals and teeth both matter. Take charge of The Mincers, recruit misfits, and survive a season against rival clubs.

Who this is for

If you're looking for a chaotic blend of football and beat-'em-up, this is a must-try. With perma-death elements, it offers a tense, high-stakes experience.

Details

Overview

Studs Up! Win Ugly is a five-a-side football brawler set on a side-on, faux-3D pitch.

Developed and published by Gand, this action-sports hybrid blends the beautiful game with beat-'em-up chaos. Released on November 4, 2026, it's a paid title that's currently on sale, so check the Steam listing for the latest price.

The game's tone is unapologetically rough: the pitch is questionable, the referee has his price, and your transfer budget is rattling around in somebody else's mouth. It's a world where goals win matches, but the teeth scattered across the pitch help pay for the next one.

Highlights

Core gameplay: Charge a shot, bend it after the boot, or send a teammate through with a well-timed pass. Then brace for the return tackle – this is a brawler as much as a football game.
Season mode: Take charge of The Mincers, recruit seven local misfits, and drag them through a season against five rival clubs. Between fixtures, return to the pub office to patch up the squad, buy upgrades, take a sponsor's money, or... well, the description cuts off, but the pub office clearly holds more than just tactics.
Modes & features: Supports single-player, multiplayer, PvP, and shared/split-screen PvP. Steam user tags also highlight perma-death, PvE, and arcade elements, suggesting a punishing yet pick-up-and-play experience.

Who It's For

If you've ever wondered what would happen if FIFA and Streets of Rage had a baby, this is it. It's for players who enjoy chaotic sports games with a darkly comic edge, who don't mind a bit of pixel-art violence (blood, knocked-out teeth, firearms, burial imagery – the content notes are explicit), and who appreciate a game that doesn't take itself too seriously.

The perma-death tag hints at roguelike elements, so fans of high-stakes runs will find something to chew on.
