I’m not a football fanatic (freak) however the original and poetic approach to this subject has intrigued me almost immediately. The story is set in a fantasy (imaginary) and magical championship in which the player takes on the role of the coach Rocco Galliano. In order to improve the score of the Calchester Assembled the player will need to make the right choices and can do so only by identifying himself to Galliano’s troubling life.

This is a game of choices and experiences shrouded in an aura of mystery right from the start. The gossip, the simulations and the tone of the matches are hilarious.

In this game, I reached the final credits extremely quickly. Yoga instead of the first training session for my team and going to the bar to strengthen team spirit looked like a great decision, but something went wrong… Perhaps the owner of the team did not appreciate the subtle trolling in his address, in short I was fired. The second playthrough was more successful but less fun and it uncovered rather serious flaws.

Football Drama consists of 2 major parts – turn-based football matches and choice-based storytelling. There’re a lot of references to real people (you’ll meet several recognizable personalities from the football world and also Pier Paolo Pasolini) and references to clubs/situations and the storytelling part is good enough to entertain and catch your attention. On the other hand turn-based football matches become boring rather fast and almost unaffected by what is happening in story.
