Super Soccer Blast

Super Soccer Blast

Nice football game and has potential if it is still being developed (?) which I don’t think it is. as I submitted a list of bugs in the forum of the game over a year ago to which there was no response.

The game itself is okay for a quick blast. But the controls really need developing, as after a one or two games they leave you frustrated.

Player selection: need improving, sometimes the player closest to the ball is not available for selection and you can try and (press the right shoulder button to) select your player but its often too late and then you cannot select a player and by the time you do the other team has scored.

Football School

This game is fun! Not to be taken too seriously but it still has all the attributes of running a football club from playing decisions like tactics and training plus all the background responsibilities including stadium, finance, marketing and general club development. I’m still learning how to develop team tactics as the game seems more like pinball rather than a regular game of football as there is no goalie and the ball does not go out of play! If anybody is looking for a serious football tactics game like Football Manager then forget it. But this game is still challenging and you do need to consider the decisions carefully in how you run the club. It is very easy to run out of money. For $S10, this is great value.

2 Hour Review:

I love this game. Its no FM20 but its $9 and the administration of a football team is made very fun here with really nice menus. I wish there was a reminder/calendar page or an inbox for notifications like scheduling friendlies and operations because I missed those a few times early on. Being a day behind on a 5 day operation to earn 2 house points puts you out of the storyline in the introduction phase. The gameplay engine for low level teams is crazy bad. I did play a friendly against a level 16 team as a level 2 team and the AI looked much better with accurate passes and shots, leading to a 11-0 a** kicking of my upstart football team. That gives me hope that the grind on training will make the gameplay more exciting as you watch your decisions to play out. I’ve yet to reach the 5v5 leagues and will update once I’ve reached more.

Improbable Soccer

Improbable Soccer

While obviously very rough around the edges due to its “very early access” status, this game has a ton of potential to be a party game hit. Compared to something like, say, Rocket League, where the controls have a very high skill ceiling and require a lot of time to even get used to, the controls in Improbable Soccer feel intuitive and snappy.

The premise of the game is very simple, but the combination of tight controls, goofy aesthetics, and a bit of competition between friends leads to a ridiculously fun time. Can’t wait to see how the game will look like in a few months from now!

A friend of mine told me about this game as I am a party game enthusiast and I was not disappointed. It’s still pretty immature, but it has a great potential. I hope developers will add some more maps.

Kopanito All-Stars Soccer

… and there I was thinking “Soccer with super moves? How rediculous! It kills the realism and ruins the game.”

Then I saw the game on sale and thought I’d pick it up nevertheless just to try it out – I was hooked. 5+1 players (of which 1 to 5 human players), 6 + 6 minute matches (by default, can be adjusted), one ball, and no referee. Havoc and slide tackles soon become a norm.

The gameplay is smooth and the AI offers a pretty decent challenge for starters. A grinder like me takes on the challenge and plays only on pro level (until platinum gets unlocked). You will be crushed for a few matches but once you get the gist you’ll soon become a pro yourself and winning a game becomes a walk in the park. Challenging and fun at the same time.

In a different review, it is said that Kopanito All Star Soccer would be a mixture of “Mario Strikers” and “Sensible Soccer”. From own experience, it cannot be accounted for the first one, but for the second. Strictly speaking, what the developers might have done is commuting the x and y axis and put the Sensible Soccer AI up again. In addition, the banana shot style and GFX remind us at least a little bit of “Micro Prose Soccer”.

As so often, these impressions may be seen as a strength and also as a weakness of the game. The strength is nostalgy, the weakness lacking complexity, as it refers to 20+ years old titels. In deed, from todays perspective, it looks like an only half complete game:

Sageball

Sageball

Sage Ball is a local multiplayer sports game where players will use their character’s abilities in conjunction with each other to create amazing combos and great plays in order to score!

The rules of the game are simple, hit the ball into the opponent’s goal more than the opponent can hit the ball into yours. Scoring goes up to a predetermined number that is set prior to the start of the match. When one of the teams reaches the determined score mentioned above, the game ends.

_After displaying unparalleled magical feats over the ages such as immortality and unlimited energy, a mysterious Sage has been highly sought over to reveal his secrets. Naturally the sage proved to be quite elusive, and wouldn’t give his secrets away to just anyone for fear of falling into the wrong hands. For each appearance over the ages, he would select someone to become a champion as long as they triumphed over others in certain trials. These were trials that were always different every age, and the location was always different and initially hidden.

This time, the contestants found the challenge inside a pyramid with a court, the sage, and a single ball in the center of the court that he stood on. He told each challenger the rules for this competition. After days of preparation for the competition, word spread across the populous, and the championship for the powers of the Grand Sage began. Who will rise up among the rest to win this amazing competition?_

New Star Manager

New Star Manager

This is a pretty mild recommendation. It’s a fun game, often. It suffers from a ton of flaws, no doubt due to its target platform of mobile, an industry which is notorious for sloppy and shoddy development, especially in games. In-match controls are tricky and very easy to screw up. Physics is sometimes awkward and nonsensical at moments – esp. when it matters. Team management is a little unrealistic as you are constantly badgered by third-string or second-string players who demand play time – and will play like crap if you don’t give to them, which means you have to constantly rotate good and bad players, weakening your potential XI, just to prevent them from being completely useless. (Imagine if any real teams had to deal with that amount of whining! Football would be out of business!) Rules aren’t always quite right. Your ability for effective team management and growth is largely based on getting bonuses from chance non-match outcomes. You get pittance of money from sponsors and fans (and nothing from investors, who carp and harumph whenever you ask them for money) while you have to raise hundreds of thousands for quality services – not to mention getting AND keeping quality players. Oddly enough, the value you get from sponsors and fans etc. doesn’t change at all from league to league (which are fixed in time from 2017), which is pretty hard to believe – you can’t tell me USL rakes in the same cash as MLS, or EFL1 rakes in the same cash as EPL.

This game is an underrated gem, period.

But before I rave about the actual game, let me tell you a thing about their customer support.

So I purchased New Star Manager one day, installed it and couldn’t run it. Did all the usual steps to troubleshoot, no luck.

Finally, I left a message in the Steam forums stating my problem.

The next day, the publisher got back to me, asking me to perform the usual troubleshooting steps again. No surprise, it didn’t help.

Then I was given a beta code to install a version that writes a logfile so the devs could figure out what was wrong - and something was very wrong because that logfile wasn’t even created.

I have only recently bothered writing reviews maybe it is lockdown boredom?. Anyway this is a great little game - similar to sensible soccer - there are no subs / yellow cards / team management etc and complex moves which at 48 suits me. The graphics are good and it has a punchy soundtrack. For the long term there isn’t much to keep you but to pick up and play like you represent Rotherham Utd from the early 90’s it’s great. Don’t expect FIFA but for 99p your drugs are too strong if you did!!. Nice little time passer Well Done - love the keepers by the way when they throw the ball 2cm in their own box (Very RUFC!!)

When I saw this arcade football game I immediatelly though that it would be nice if it was like Sensible soccer or Kick off. It has this feeling of arcade play with not having to worry doing crazy stuff with the ball, but also lacks several characeristics that would make this memorable. Controlling the ball to attack or your players to defend was not ideal. Usually the ball ends up on the “fastest” forward who tries to score. AI has some issues on deciding to score after it has changed numerous successful passes inside or around your goal area.

Foosball - Street Edition

Foosball - Street Edition

This recommendation comes with quite a few caveats. This game is basically a poor man’s Super Mario Strikers. It’s 5-on-5 (counting the goalies) soccer with environmental hazards and various special moves. It’s fun in a very goofy way. The English seems odd, there are bugs (including a few frustrating ones that stop the match and force the user to quit or retry), and the AI could use a little tweaking. The developer is aware of some of the issues, but they haven’t updated the game for months, so I don’t think we’re going to see any fixes. Overall, it’s fun, cheap, and goofy, so it might be worth your time and money.

This is almost a broken game…

It is barely playable and feels like a early access game. After an hour, it stops being fun and all the bugs seem to appear twice as annoying. There is something wrong with about every aspect of the game, which is a shame because the game would have be really fun, and is if it’s not buggy.

A few problems it has:

  • The controls are clunky. Movement is not very responsive and sometimes buttons don’t do anything or are significantly delayed. This is very fustrating and one thing that has lead to the game being bad.
