  • The game is chaotic and fun, offering a unique twist on traditional soccer gameplay with wacky power-ups and abilities.
  • It's a great casual game for short bursts of play, providing plenty of laughs and entertainment, especially when played with friends.
  • The variety of power-ups and the ability to customize your team add an interesting layer of strategy to the gameplay.
  • The game can become repetitive quickly, with many matches feeling similar and lacking depth after the initial novelty wears off.
  • Multiplayer functionality is limited, requiring players to grind through the single-player campaign to unlock abilities for online play.
  • The graphics and overall presentation are quite basic, resembling a mobile game rather than a polished PC title.
  • humor
    60 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely praised, with many players finding it hilariously chaotic and entertaining, especially in multiplayer mode. The combination of absurd gameplay mechanics, such as deploying traps and explosive antics, leads to numerous funny moments that keep players engaged. Overall, the game is described as a lighthearted and amusing experience, perfect for those looking for a comedic twist on traditional football games.

    • “Unironically hilariously fun, and chaotic.”
    • “This game is hilariously funny playing it with friends or by yourself... it makes me laugh playing it. A truly genius idea for a game!”
    • “Footlol is a hilariously fun game.”
  • gameplay
    43 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of "Footlol: Epic Soccer League" is characterized by its chaotic and humorous approach, blending RPG mechanics with traditional football elements. Players do not directly control their team but instead use various power-ups to influence the match, leading to a unique but sometimes repetitive experience. While the game offers engaging and amusing moments, its lack of depth and potential for imbalance may deter those seeking a more serious sports simulation.

    • “The gameplay in itself is amusing; you have a football team of stick figures doing their own thing, and you can help them by cheating your way to victory: speed up that guy about to make a goal, maybe put flames on the ball itself so the goalie is scared of touching it.”
    • “This isn't a football game like the others; it's funny and has a lot of RPG mechanics. When I played this, I felt like I was playing a tower defense game because of the abilities. Before each game, you need to choose your abilities to use, for example, mines or a boost for a player, and you need to hold on and try to win. The first matches of the story mode are easy, but believe me, after the first 4 or 5 levels, you'll struggle a lot, and this is good!”
    • “The gameplay is relatively fun, wacky, hilarious, and addictive, although the game suffers immensely from imbalance.”
    • “Having said that, Footlol is anything but child-friendly as it quickly becomes evident that you do not control any of the football players on your team in a match. Rather, its distinct gameplay element is less about directly controlling the player and scoring shots through quick coordination and reflexes mixed with good aim, nor is it like those management games where you strategize how to best position your team players based on their individual skills.”
    • “The gameplay is solely about dropping the various abilities in the right places at the right time, which initially seems interesting but becomes boring and repetitive pretty quickly.”
    • “Gets repetitive way too quickly and gameplay is not as deep as it seems.”
  • graphics
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many users describing them as simple and lacking detail, often comparing them unfavorably to other titles on Steam. While some appreciate the unique art style and find it charming, others criticize it as amateurish and aesthetically unpleasing. Overall, the visuals are considered mediocre, with a blend of 2D and 3D elements that do not significantly enhance the gameplay experience.

    • “The graphics are nice, but yet not very detailed; sounds and animations are okay.”
    • “Fun game, with simple graphics and gameplay.”
    • “The graphics are simple and the sound effects are very basic, but it has a certain charm, I guess.”
    • “The art style is a train wreck.”
    • “The graphics and sound are pretty mediocre, although none of this is particularly bothersome for a game of this nature.”
    • “Don't let the graphics fool you!”
  • story
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is largely considered minimal and irrelevant, serving primarily as a means to unlock gameplay features rather than as a compelling narrative. While some players found the simple storyline engaging, many felt that the focus on gameplay overshadowed any story elements, and there was a consensus that multiplayer would benefit from having all abilities unlocked from the start, allowing for a more enjoyable experience without the need to complete the campaign first. Overall, the story is seen as a secondary aspect, with the gameplay mechanics taking precedence.

    • “It also had something of a story to it, which I found to be simple, yet engaging.”
    • “This isn't a football game like the others; it's funny it has a lot of RPG mechanics. To be honest, when I played this, I felt like I was playing a tower defense game-style because of the abilities. Before each game, you need to choose your abilities to use, for example, mines or a boost for a player. The first matches of the story mode are easy, but believe me, after the first 4 or 5 levels, you'll struggle a lot, and this is good!”
    • “The multiplayer probably is the highlight of the game, as with a friend, this game transforms into something genuinely fun. However, to unlock the abilities and such, you would have to complete the storyline, which kind of defeats the purpose if your friend picked it up solely to play with you.”
    • “The story is basically non-existent and entirely irrelevant as the gameplay is the entire selling point of the game.”
    • “I'd like this game a lot more if the multiplayer mode had everything unlocked so you and your friends can play without going through the entire story mode before being able to fully play multiplayer.”
    • “Personally believe that it would have been better off having all abilities unlocked in the multiplayer section and then keep the unlocking for the storyline itself.”
  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game features an uplifting and catchy main menu theme with groovy guitar and drums, but it quickly becomes repetitive and annoying over time, especially in the absence of commentary. While some players appreciate its catchiness, others find it lacking in aesthetic appeal and detrimental to the overall experience, particularly in multiplayer settings.

    • “The main menu music is quite uplifting, featuring groovy guitar and drums.”
    • “The music is so damn catchy.”
    • “Music is needed to compensate for not having commentary, but there is none.”
    • “Having said that, it is not aesthetically pleasing; the multiplayer is quite dead and the music is annoying and repetitive.”
    • “After xx hours, I couldn't take the music anymore.”
  • grinding
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews highlight that the game's grinding mechanics significantly detract from the overall experience, particularly in multiplayer settings, where players must endure a tedious single-player progression to enjoy the game fully. Many find the campaign overly grindy and unrewarding, with a lack of engaging skirmish modes, leading to a repetitive and frustrating gameplay loop. Overall, while the game has potential, its grind-heavy design hampers enjoyment and pacing.

    • “The execution is a bit amateurish and the overall campaign is a bit grindy, but it's decent overall.”
    • “Fun concept but lazy port of the engine hurts resolutions, grindy campaign hurts pacing, and control scheme designed for tablets means generally deficient UI.”
    • “Campaign mode has a ton of levels but would have rather liked a fully fleshed out skirmish mode because the campaign feels too involved and yet at the same time unrewarding and grindy.”
  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is generally well-received, featuring fluid animations and no significant performance issues. Players can enhance their football team's capabilities through strategic spending on skills and cosmetics, with match performance directly influencing rewards. However, the repetitive music may become tiresome after extended play.

    • “When money is earned, it can be spent on various cosmetics that add personality to your football team or on skills that boost your chances of victory. You can invest in your team's overall accuracy and running speed for better performance, or increase the amount of power-ups gained through each skill point, starting with five that can be expanded up to ten by purchasing more in the store, alongside additional skill slots for a maximum of seven.”
    • “The better the performance and the more conditions that are met, the better the payout.”
    • “One has to win every match to proceed in the championship, and most matches have bonus objectives to achieve in order to obtain all performance stars.”
    • “One has to win every match in order to proceed in the championship, and most matches have bonus objectives to be achieved in order to obtain all performance stars.”
    • “The better the performance and the more conditions that are met means a better payout.”
    • “Animation is fluid; there are no choppy performance issues, but after a few hours, I couldn't take the music anymore.”
  • replayability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players consistently highlight the game's high replayability, noting its quick, fun, and easy-to-learn nature. With stages lasting around 1 to 2 minutes and an impressive replay value rating of 87%, the game offers endless opportunities for players to return.

    • “Quick, fun, easy to learn, and very replayable.”
    • “Replayability is pretty high.”
    • “From what I've played, one stage is around 1:00 to 2:00, with endless replayability.”
  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of "FootLOL: Epic Soccer League" is characterized by its eccentricity and chaotic gameplay, appealing to players seeking a unique and wacky sports experience. However, it may not satisfy those looking for a serious or strategic atmosphere, especially in solo play. Overall, it offers an intense and lively environment for multiplayer fun.

    • “As it were though, I would still recommend Footlol: Epic Soccer League to those looking for something a little 'different' in their sports games and don't mind the more wacky nature that this game's characters and its chaotic gameplay presents.”
    • “As it were though, I would still recommend FootLOL: Epic Soccer League to those looking for something a little 'different' in their sports games and don't mind the more wacky nature that this game's characters and its chaotic gameplay presents.

    • “You will also play it for its eccentric atmosphere and intense action.”
