It's a great option for players who want to enter Tsubasa's world. It may not satisfy more serious football fans, but gamers looking for a nice arcade football game definitely give it a try.

Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is a faithful adaptation of the famous manga characters and when not possessed by outbursts of problematic reactions from the players or bugs, it is a good and definitely beautiful arcade football game.

Overall, Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is a great game for those who are fans of anime and those looking for a game with flashy skills to enhance the player's experience . On the other hand in terms of game mechanics we can see several gaps, where one of the is related with the robotic movements of the players on the field. If you are looking for an arcade football game it is possibly one of the most interesting and captivating on the market, but it should be noted that it presents a very different premise than games like FIFA or PES, more focused on the technical and simulation aspect of this sport.

Despite the many technical problems, the game works very well: it’s fun to play, exciting and sometimes quite challenging and allows you to play really intense games, both offline and online.

Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions, despite not shining for stubbornness and technical sector, turns out to be very fun and engaging even for those who have never heard of Captain Tsubasa; for those who spent their childhood with him, they will find in the title an excellent pastime that will allow them to dive lightly into their memories and experience them from another perspective. If you are looking for hyper-realism, go elsewhere, here you will find goalkeepers flying into goal, smashed and deformed balls, flying twins and many other techniques that make Ronaldo and Messi look like beginners when compared to Japanese fourteen year olds. And all of this is very beautiful.

Captain Tsubasa can be fun when you grab some of your mates for an all-out brawl on the pitch if the scoring mechanic wasn't so dumb. It takes away all of the tension of a match. Skip this one unless you're really keen to experience the so-so campaign for yourself.

Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions may seem like a niche title but it's sure to appeal to anyone who enjoys arcade sports games, especially ones with a steep degree of difficulty. Its flashy, challenging, and intense matches truly hit a home run. Oops, wrong sport.

If you were a fan of Captain Tsubasa series in the past or you like its 2018 version, you will absolutely love Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions with all of your heart! It is the first Captan Tsubasa that is completely a real soccer game and it is really entertaining as well. Story and gameplay are faithful to series and Bandai Namco has done a great Job.

If you are a fan of the Anime, you will find a lot to love in Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions, with a story packed with your favorite characters. Its fun gameplay comes with some flaws and it can get repetitive with time, and for that it's not a game made for everyone.

Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions didn’t have to be FIFA, but it at least had to provide a game of football that felt dynamic, fair and fun. It doesn’t do that, unfortunately, and so for most it’s going to be a major disappointment.

Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is legitimately the best arcade sports title to come out since Rocket League.

Excitingly fresh, Captain Tsubasa: Rise of Champions captures a fun arcade and anime-style, and prioritises a zany, wacky experience. There are a couple of performance issues that could have been improved before release, but nonetheless, these can be overlooked since the core-gameplay mechanics are fun and rewarding to master. If there was ever a time to try out a new football game, then this is it.

Coming to Captain Tsubasa as a fan of football, but knowing nothing of the anime and manga, I had no idea what to expect from this game, but I was more than impressed.

Popular anime series Captain Tsubasa gets adapted to a football RPG video game, and the game keeps fragile balance between football and anime. Mostly.
