The gameplay is characterized as casual and repetitive, with a loose resemblance to Subbuteo and a cramped feel due to small pitches and oversized counters. While it offers various game modes and a nostalgic experience for fans of button football, many players find it lacking in depth and innovation, with matches often following predictable patterns. The inclusion of a "crazy mode" adds some variety, but overall, the gameplay is seen as fair yet limited.

“For those who played a lot of button football in their childhood, this game brought back wonderful memories, with incredibly immersive and reality-like gameplay, with excellent graphic quality, generating fantastic moments of fun nostalgia!”

The PC version features no microtransactions, but players must earn in-game currency to access most single-player modes, unlock a significant number of teams, and utilize various starting formations.
“There are no microtransactions in the PC version, but currency must be earned to play most single-player variants and to unlock a good portion of teams and most of the starting formations.”
“The monetization system feels overly restrictive, forcing players to grind for currency instead of enjoying the game.”
“It's frustrating that so many features are locked behind a paywall, making it hard to fully experience the game without spending extra money.”

Players find that while there are grindy achievements in the game, they can be completed relatively quickly, especially with the added incentive of earning in-game coins through tournaments. Overall, the grinding aspect is seen as manageable and not overly time-consuming.
“The tournament gives away in-game coins for fun, but the only truly grindy achievements can be completed in just a few games.”
“Grinding feels tedious and repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”
“The amount of time required to grind for rewards is excessive and detracts from the overall enjoyment.”
