The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 6 of the 36 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review.

What players say
3 words. new, hero, mode. it carries this game to peak status. just played its sequel and the lack of that mode made it useless after completing the story. therefor buy this game instead.
i love this even more after the terrible second part released when you consider buying one buy this part
If your looking for a anime soccer game to enjoy a PVE story then look for something else, this game has WAY to high of difficulty even on lowest setting. The Ai will 90% of time always dodge your tackels and have inhuman reactions. Then there is the game auto switching your players at worst times or even not letting you switch to the right player that is right next to the ball, a passing is also terrible, I had so...
