Behold the Kickmen

Behold the shaite, as English would say.

Gioco carino per intrattenersi per qualche oretta. C'è qualche problema di riconoscimento del controller, in tal caso basta ricollegare il controller durante la partita. Per il arcade sportivo molto divertente.

Wirkt ganz witzig, aber für mich leider unspielbar. Die Controller-Steuerung funktioniert nur im Tutorial und im normalen Spiel dann nicht mehr! Die Alternative wäre natürlich mit Maus und Tastatur, aber das funktioniert auch nicht wirklich.

Un gioco carino di "calcio". Storia non da Oscar ovviamente, ma piacevole e divertente. Musiche molto belle e un bel passatempo per qualche oretta. Un po' buggato, il controller non veniva mai riconosciuto e dovevo sempre rimapparlo ad ogni avvio del gioco, player avversari che ogni tanto non ti facevano toccare la palla per molto tempo perchè facevano passaggi da un lato all'altro del campo, facendosi pure gol ogni tanto. 6.5/10

[h2]This is just like real football: unbearably stupid.[/h2] If you want to pay £60 to watch me play a match, let me know in the comments. Good game, would recommend.

As someone who hates football I enjoyed this. The game rules and surrounding narrative show utter contempt for the game, the clubs, the players, the fans and just about everything surrounding the game. It's necessary to endure a few really bad games until you start to level up your team, then it starts to vaguely resemble a videogame about football. I _think_ anyone who genuinely likes football will hate this.

La premisa parece buena, aparentando un juego de fútbol desenfadado, y el toque de humor de 'no me interesa el fútbol' tiene su aquel, pero tarda poco en volverse tedioso. El gameplay pronto se vuelve repetitivo y no hay alicientes que incentiven el jugar porque sí una vez acabado el modo historia, el cual dura entre 2 y 3 horas. Los únicos añadidos durante el partido son unos relojes que caen por el campo que alargan el tiempo de juego y un 'fuera de juego' que expulsa a un jugador si le pilla con la posesión en la zona roja cuando acaba un limitador de tiempo. Nada más. Siendo un juego centrado en el modo un jugador, como recalca el desarrollador en la descripción del producto, podrían haber pulido mucho más la inteligencia artificial del rival. O no hacen absolutamente nada y se quedan mirando o se ponen en modo Pelé haciendo pases a la velocidad del rayo metiendo goles desde medio campo. No hay punto intermedio. Por su parte, la música es horrorosa y los efectos de sonido son malísimos. He tenido que bajar todo el volumen al mínimo, porque resulta molesto. Por último, señalar que si juegas en modo Big Picture, hay que quitar la compatibilidad de Steam con los mandos o directamente no funcionará el mando en el juego. En definitiva, una completa decepción.

I came. I saw. I kicked the men. Indeed, the plot and justice demands you kick, as hard as you can... It's a fun little time waster, but really pay attention to the description and tutorial; it's not really football, and trying to play it as such may explain some of the reviewers who found it too hard. Instead, treat it as the silly take on the national sport it is, and focus on showing off and earning money from fans who want to be entertained, which you cash in via Doing A Goal. Don't take the occasional CPU insanity seriously either; the Goldkeepers who protect the bank are deliberately rubbish, and so once you get the sense of how to Do The Goal, you'll find you almost never lose; the 2 times I've played it from scratch on default difficulty, years apart and so I had to learn anew, I only ever lost one match each time, and beat the entire Big Boring Football Spreadsheet in 3 hours. Which is an ideal length as it lets you see the entire narrative without it overstaying it's welcome, and a most amusing narrative it is. As long as you aren't too puritanical about waving your football rattle about!

6/10 I don't like soccer games, but apparently the creator of this one either. The controls are easy enough to follow, but what's interesting is the story behind the game play. Overall, I don't see a reason to play it again after completing it, however I don't consider this 5 hours wasted.

Humor is pretty good, game itself is okay. Still better than FIFA or EA garbage could ever be.
