Nifty Games launches NFL Clash head-to-head mobile game

Nifty Games has launched its NFL Clash head-to-head mobile game around the world. It hopes to find a new kind of sports fan who prefers action and doesn’t have the patience for simulation games.

Nifty Games recently raised $38 million in new capital for the launch. About $26 million comes in the form of an investment led by Vulcan Capital, while $12 million comes in the form of debt financing. Much of that money will go toward acquiring new users, said CEO Jon Middleton in an interview with GamesBeat.
