The gameplay of the game is characterized by solid mechanics that offer a unique and skill-based experience, allowing players to control their characters and actions more intuitively compared to traditional football games. While the mechanics are engaging and rewarding, there are notable issues such as bugs, a toxic community, and limited matchmaking options that detract from the overall experience. Despite these challenges, many players find the gameplay enjoyable and worth the effort to master, especially in a competitive setting.
“If you like football, it is a really fun twist on all of the available football games like FIFA and eFootball because in this game you actually control the character, shots, passing, etc. While the game itself may look barebones, the mechanics have incredible potential and the skill gap is pretty big.”
“The mechanics are intuitive, allowing newcomers to pick up and play quickly, while still offering depth for seasoned players to master.”
“The gameplay is engaging and enjoyable, and while there may be some issues with Steam achievements, it doesn't detract from the overall experience.”
