Super Arcade Soccer 2021 Reviews

Trash

Always crash, bad control, the whole game is just a waste of money 10/1

PROS: cant find anything... CONS: - no tutorial - no keyboard support - no video settings - no button configuration - no button preview, so you absolutely dont know what buttons are active and what they do RESULT: 0/10

its a trash game! believe these reviews! buy it, u will be a fool! i'm fool! 1. It can't support keyboard competely, UI can't be choose, and i have to use mouse. 2. stupid UI design, no "exit" button. use keyboard, how do i exit the game??? "esc" and "backspace" buttons in the keybord can't do that. disappointing, its "alt + f4". 3. Characters is ugly, no any change. developers have no experience in designing games, which is the basic function about "exit" button It’s a pile of sh*t.

Despite the huge amount of bad things which involve the game itself and controls, I will focus on the main thing which even surpasses all those problems which is the actual fact that you have to pay 7 euros for this game in full price. Thankfully I got it for around 70 cents as it would be a waste to spend anything above it on this game. If this was a free to play title that was being developed I would have probably waited out, but 7 euros for this kind of a game? I don't recommend it. Not even on a sale that I had. I cannot imagine that someone would make this and actually want money for it in it's early stage. There is a similar game to this called Super Soccer Blast and it cost 9 euros and trust me, despite it also having some issues it is 10 times worth more then this trash.

I have to say it's a lot better than the previous version, there are much less bugs (still some really weird AI moves, and don't expect the AI to be very challenging) and it's actually fun to play. Good job

You've heard it before. Really want to like this game and with a few tweaks, that could come true. Changing to the chosen player on defence is an issue. I like the look of the game though. The pace of the game may be a little slower than some may like but I'm good with it. Last thing is the AI. With these issues I'm still gonna' give it a "thumbs up" hoping for improvements.------------This is a later review. It is getting better. Good job so far. Oh' ya'. I wish there was a hockey game that looked and played like this;)-updated review: Game won't start...... All good now. Thumbs up. It keeps getting better. A Hockey game. Please.

I typically don't try early access games, but since I went on a limb this time, I think I owe it to the dev to give some feedback. The good: I think it's obvious that this is a labor of love of one person. I think it has potential and the bones are there. The bad: There are some issues that are probably easiest to fix, and are quite minor compared to the "ugly" section below. The current version did not recognize my controller, and the only way to use it was bind it to the keyboard keys to it. Not ideal since you end up with only 8 directions. The camera angle resets to default every time there is a break in the game, but the default becomes whatever it was set to before the last game ended. Player switching is either weird or non existent. It's hard to stay in control once the player switches from AI controlled, to player controlled. I will admit that most games of this kind suffer of this, so this might be just the matter of getting used to it. The ugly: AI. It needs work. A lot of work. Biggest issue is the positioning of the entire squad. During action, if you keep possession long enough all of the teammates will go DEEP into the opposing territory without much regard for their actual positions. If you then turn the ball over, the opposing team has a clear path from midfield to your goal while 6-7 of your players are in the opposing box. Throw ins are especially bad. The teams will routinely populate opposing halves with the entire crew. If you get awarded a throw in in front of your corner flag, you will have nobody to pass it to since your entire team is 60 m away (workaround is to pass it to yourself since the opponent is not smart enough to come get it). Goalies are silly. They will make the silliest throws to an opponent directly in front of them after making a rare save. There are also occasional situations where the game can't figure out who has possession and two players will just stand in front of the ball without either being able to do anything with it. This breaks the entire match since there is no way out of this stalemate but to wait for the time to expire. Now, all of there gripes above would be tolerable if this were fun. However, the game is slow and depressing. I ended up feeling sad for the poor faceless hunchbacks laboring left and right across the pitch. It is supposed to be an arcade. Arcade = fun. The animation of the players looks like they are hiking up a mountain while towing a 100 kg weight. I am really trying not to be harsh, and I understand completely that this is early access, and an indie solo developer. However, if your goal is to make product for people to enjoy and pay money for, that it needs to be better. In conclusion, I will pose a question for you to ponder. Is this the game we need? I mean, by all means, make any kind of game you like. That is up to you. But in the current world of soccer games, we are NOT missing a 11v11 that is neither arcade nor a sim, fun nor a grind, with poorly executed AI. What we are missing (and what is probably easier to make) is fast, fun, and upbeat arcade. You have the bones right there. Shrink the field, scrap the 11v11 in favor of a more of a street style 5v5 or something. And instead of calculating positioning of 22 figures, focus on 8-10, and spend the spare time on improving esthetics.
