A Sheffield-based video game developer has released their brand new Rugby League 18 mobile game, available on iPhone, iPad and Android devices.

Rugby League 18 has been completely built from scratch to not only raise the bar in terms of visual quality but also to include frequently requested features such as Career Mode and fingertip precision control of your player’s movement.

With over 120 teams, 5 tournaments, live games and career mode this is the ultimate Rugby League gaming experience on mobile.
