Esports Godfather Reviews

Took me about 40-45 hrs to play through hell mode no modifications and hit premier league. After which, game becomes incredibly easy once you have everything set up and ready to go. Pretty solid for 20$ (sale+ expansion), and i’ll probably get some more time out of it before I eventually get bored or start a new run.

100 hours in, just finished the 3-peat of winning premier league on hell difficulty game is addicting AF, but runs out of depth and starts getting simpler and easier past a certain point. would like to see more

Great manager, card game but the only issue is this game(hell difficulty ) make the bots attack in team-fight like cheating. They just only hit my carry ngl.

This game has no right to be this fun because actually playing MOBAs feels miserable >=D Seriously, the amount of depth in this game is crazy and both the playing matches AND the management part are really fun. Some examples: At the end of every season the game's rules can entirely change. From objectives like Dragon giving different rewards like instead of gold it could give your team permanent stats. Tower health might change and tower damage will change too. If you have experience with MOBAs then you will quickly pick up on most of the concepts in the game. There is a LOT to unpack in this game and you WILL be overwhelmed at first but if you stick with it this game will suck the hours out of you.

This is an outstanding esports-themed strategy game. Don’t let its appearance fool you—especially if you’re hesitant because of the AI-generated assets. While your talent’s character images are AI-generated, they are not the core focus of the game, and you have the option to customize them if you wish. The gameplay might feel familiar to fans of management games, but it stands out with its unique mechanics. The combination of deckbuilding and drafting evokes the feel of roguelike games, allowing players to create powerful synergies between hero cards, drafted abilities, and talents. Additionally, the ever-changing rulesets help keep the experience fresh, much like how MOBA updates shift the competitive meta. If you’ve played Teamfight Manager, you’ll recognize the shifting meta and draft-ban phases, but the added layer of card battles makes you feel more engaged, giving you a better fighting chance beyond just picking and banning heroes. That said, the game isn’t without flaws. The AI remains highly predictable, and while the ban system and AI decision-making have been updated, overcoming them still feels too easy. Implementing hero-specific nerfs and buffs based on seasonal performance could shake up the meta more dynamically rather than just adding three new rules per season. Additionally, the translation quality could use more effort—while skill descriptions and gameplay-related text are decent enough, the dialogue and conversations feel rough and could benefit from better localization. Despite its flaws, this is easily one of the best indie games I’ve played. As a MOBA player who also enjoys deckbuilding card battlers, I found the experience highly enjoyable. The hero expansion pack isn’t necessary, but I purchased it to support the developer. 10/10 would recommend to slay time.

There are some elements I don't think add much between rounds on the management end (could be scrapped or simplified), and some moba elements could be expanded, but all in all it is solid. My only real complaint is it doesn't autosave in the management space between rounds, so be sure to progress all the way to the next moba draft before backing out to the title or stop right after your moba match ends.

I picked this game up thinking i'd play a little bit. Turns into being one of the most in depth card building, auto battlers, management sims i've ever played. Would love to see this game continued in development

Football manager but with League of legends. So far the only con has been the corny story thats forced on you inbetween matches. Otherwise, a terrific game if you like management sims and mobas.

I tried the demo thinking it would just be an hilarious mess of a game. I finished the demo after 20+ hours and realised this game, despite it's obvious flaws, was a rare gem in disguise. If you can ignore the obvious translation mistakes and the AI-generated athletes (you get used to them quickly), you'll find a great management game and an addicting MOBA-card game. Here's hoping the idea catches on and we see other applications

Do you like the idea of League of Legends, but know that game is a pit of endless suffering? eSports Godfather captures the feel of League, combines it with management simulation with a fantastic game that can scratch two itches at once. Tweak teams, learn characters, make builds, and train your crew. Plus it has a match simulation card game that gets the ebb and flow of League. The card based match game is surprisingly fun. This is a Chinese game developer that genuinely wants to make a great game, I think partially because the game they wanted to play didn't exist.
