Just when you think the running mechanics of Backbreaker are a bit too simple, you get nailed with one of the visceral hits that give the game its name. Tilt your phone forward to sprint to the end zone while tapping to juke, jump, and spin around defenders. Have an inner Ochocinco? Showboating earns extra points.

WIRED Switch to Vengeance mode and dish out pain. Realistic physics keep the game engaging and the hits jarring.

TIRED No multiplayer.
