Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is a game that recreates like no other the essence of Captain Tsubasa, knowing how to give an arcade gameplay with spectacular movements full of eye-catching and that will dazzle the fans of the series, since doing the Miracle Drive Shot with Tsubasa or using the Golden Combi to make combined shots is priceless if you are one of those who had a snack in front of TV in the 90s.

Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is a Yōichi Takahashi's fan dream. It's an homage to the series and a great arcade game.

Captain Tsubasa has genuine depth behind its arcade flair, but the initial presentation leaves a lot to be desired thanks to a dull, aggravating, and sluggish introduction to its characters and systems.
Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions lets players step into the shoes of Japan's Golden Generation and lead them to victory against the world.
Even with some of its mechanical and story-telling shortcomings Rise of New Champions is a fun time that shows why this is a beloved series. There's a lot of joy to be had in following Tsubasa's story and creating your own and the flashy football action has some shining moments. With some more tuning and gameplay focus, there's a really bright future for Nankatsu's football star.
Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions isn't a perfect rendition of the beautiful game, but it is a welcome return to an era of football games that don't take themselves too seriously.
As a whole, Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is a somewhat enjoyable soccer/football game if you're looking for an alternative aside from FIFA and PES. While the gameplay isn't perfect, I can see fans of the manga liking this game more than anyone else though.
Anyone hip to the source material is sure to find a lot to love about Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions.
There's a certain level of disappointment to shed with Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions. As much as it meets (maybe even exceeds) expectations set earlier this year - which in of itself is a notable accomplishment for any form of adaptation - the lack of care and polish on the PC side of things at present can not go unnoticed.
Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is not a perfect game, and it's not the most mechanically dense game, but thankfully, it doesn't have to be. Its strengths lie in its unhinged, over-the-top on-pitch action and its delightfully silly presentation. If you're looking for a football game that lets you focus on all the fun aspects of the sport while ignoring almost everything to do with tactics and strategy, this is the game for you.
Captain Tsubasa: Rise of The New Champions is a flagship for anyone looking for a Holly & Benji celebratory video game. Finally, The Tiger Shot comes to life in a visually stunning context. The spectacular takes hold at the expense of the gameplay, not very fluid, and the competitiveness, almost totally absent.

Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is a bit like when you fancy watching a game of footy but there's only the Scottish league on the telly. Sure, it looks like football to the untrained eye, and yes, occasionally it's entertaining just like real football, but you're mainly there hoping that someone is going to get chinned.
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.

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.
A good representation of Captain Tsubasa's soccer style. Very spectacular at times, but very tedious at others due to the limitation of its mechanics.

Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is an absolute rush to the goal as its soccer systems don’t lean too heavily into the outrageous. Instead, it finds a perfect balance of zany and strategy through control depth and over-the-top systems. The highlight is the two very different, but equally as important story modes, with a few multiplayer options to cap off the fun. You may encounter some AI issues, and some objectives during the story mode may not sit well, but you won’t want to sit on the bench for this game.
Exciting mix of arcade soccer and story, that convinces Tsubasa fans, but shows nerves in important moments.

In the end, Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is an exceptionally fun arcade soccer experience that can be forgiven for its lack of an intriguing story because the gameplay is so fun. The story isn’t choppy or hard to follow, it’s just too repetitive to keep the player’s attention.
