Soccer Story Reviews
When the soccer (I’ll begrudgingly use the word for this analogy) is the worst part of a game called Soccer Story you’d be forgiven for thinking it would be a miss. Not so. A interesting cast of characters, plenty of fun tasks, a beautiful art style and more come together to make this a blast to play.
I give the developers a ton of credit for creating an RPG with unique mechanics and story that is every bit cliche as it is great.
Soccer Story has some great ideas, and makes football a vessel for solving fun puzzles and reintroducing the game back to the world.
Who knew that sports RPGs could consistently be so engaging, approachable, and charming?!?
Soccer Story could’ve been a lot of fun, as other games like Golf Story and Sports Story (both from an entirely different developer, I’ll note) have demonstrated. Instead, it just leaves a lot to be desired.
Soccer is banned and it’s up to you to bring it back in this cute quest-driven soccer RPG.
