About Super Blood Hockey
Super Blood Hockey blends a dystopic sports franchise with classic arcade hockey. In Franchise Mode you build and manage a team of inmates, handling diets, workouts and even illegal drug regimens while competing in a futuristic blood‑sport league.

Beyond single‑player, the title offers 4‑player local multiplayer, a global online tournament where nations vie for survival, and a Challenge Mode packed with oddball scenarios like 12‑vs‑12 Mega Rumble. Full controller support and keyboard play are both available on Windows, macOS and Linux.
