Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is exactly what I wanted from a game based off the classic anime franchise. It looks the part, it’s filled with overdramatic cutscenes and set pieces, and its gameplay doesn’t exactly follow the rules of football to a tee. This is basically the closest to a Super Mario Strikers or one of those older SNK football games you will find in the market nowadays.
Although these problems put the game below its stupendous potential, Captain Tsubasa is a solid game of soccer. All the offered mechanics make the game truly fun, making you want to keep playing it more and more. Deeply recommended for any fan of the series or anyone interested in seeing an explosive soccer game with all the catharsis of dribbling madly over opponents to use a special blow.

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 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.
Captain Tsubasa is a great title for the fans of the original anime, and remains totally true to it, but it may not be as fun for those who are new to the series.

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.
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.

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.

Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is the wild and hyper-stylised sports game I've been craving for over a decade. The gameplay is quick to pick up, but hard to master, and the over-the-top anime transitions and animations that are sprinkled throughout the action make it endlessly entertaining. Offline and online versus is sure to give you hours of entertainment if you're the competitive type, while the hefty amount of single-player story content can keep you just as equally entertained. Anyone who's been waiting for the next great arcade sports game need not look any further – it's here, and its name is Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions.
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.
Captain Tsubasa has evolved a lot over the generations and has become an extremely dynamic and fun game. With the exception of the mix made with the stories – which makes no sense at all – the game manages to deliver quality and pleases even those who are not very fan of the genre. So if you were ever curious to try something different, but never found the right title, this is your time.
