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:

FIFA 22
First FIFA game i’ve played for a while. Full of little bugs in career mode, like academy players who have been in my team for 3 years acting like they just got on the team, or not having shirt numbers etc. But the killer for me is how terrible my other players are once you play in the higher difficulties. The other team will have 6 in my box while my midfielders stand still around the outside leaving my defenders to 4v6. If i want a player to make a tackle I have to be controlling it, which is massively infuriating when for some reason 3 of my players surround the ball carrier and I miss my tackle and they just run through the other two unchallenged. Essentially its hard for the wrong reasons, and its full of little bugs that just come off as lazy.

Now, let me first say that I will probably still play this for another week or two and then I will uninstall it and move on.
This game is horrible. Please, don’t waste your time or money here. Go play anything else, it is not worth it.
Let me explain:
- Computer matches are super boring. Higher difficulty just means AI keeps passing the ball around for a long time and you won’t ever take it until they get close to your box where they will make mistakes. Easier difficulty is just way too easy since AI takes forever to react.

I liked it. The other team scored on me and it did not register a goal but a bit more work on this one and it could be a winner. The Look of the game is nice and retro. A hockey game like this would be nice to see. Thumbs up.

Ballsy! World Cup 2020
Great little footy game, enjoyed it so much so far. If you are fan of Amiga’s or C64 football games, retro look will warm your heart. Ballsy! plays smooth and after recent update, without any issues on Linux. I highly recommend this game.

Fun little arcade soccer game. Reminds me of something retro like the original fifa for the sega genesis or something like sensible soccer but has some nice tight controls that make it fun. Liked the AI and felt the teams had their own personality in their style of play. I play short little games to just take my mind of things. World cup is short and sweet, maybe making this game online would give it more longevity. But I would recommend for any soccer/football fans that like that arcade feel (no fouls or throw-ins keep the action going).

This game is so fun! It puts an exciting twist on classic arcade gameplay. One change of the rules can screw your opponent over! If I didn’t receive this game as a gift, I’d happily have paid for it!

Yo, this game is crazy fun with friends! Chaos everywhere, and it supports Crowd Control on Twitch. I really really enjoy it.

Nah. Sorry for my 2 previous reviews, game is utter cock. You need to have 10+ points better to win a league and even then it is trying hard to make you lose. This game has got dick all to do with ability or management or football sense. The results would appear to be utterly random and i have played 12 seasons and taken lowly Chesterfield from non league to the prem, but you need a far better team than the rest in the league and even then, good luck with the utterly random results.

I liked this game and got addicted to. Good game but in some cases horror. If you restart your career, with any full or soft restart the player salaries are very high during the bargaining with the agent. You cannot handle wgae bugdet given by the board. Only way to get full new registration of the steam. If you look for a manager game for some week, you have to run with it.

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.

VERY POSITIVE REVIEW
PROS:
-Fast (and furious) gameplay
-shoots
-cartoonesque graphics
-lacks of yellow and red cards. let s kill em all (ehm…no…there are penalties and free kicks)
-dynamic contrast over the ball again and again…..
-fast one-two, cross and power head goal at my 3rd game. ok fifa? 3rd. match.
CONS:
-goalkeepers (during free kicks too bad, during shoots too spidermEn)
-NEED MORE advanced controls (anyone said L1+ y for high passage)
-lacks of more and more game modes & competitions. INSERT PLEASE!
