Wednesday Basketball

A fun and charming strategy basketball game with a good heart. De-emphasizing winning and losing, and having a focus on the relationships built within a local basketball league makes for a more down-to-earth, relatable experience. The game is somewhat short, but the branching storyline encourages multiple playthroughs. I did encounter some missing dialogue as I approached the ending of the game, but nothing game breaking. Highly recommend for a chill, relaxing game that stands in opposition to the usual frantic sports titles.

Pros - Lovely cosy artstyle - Entirely playable with mouse - Turn based basket ball which is basic but engaging (at least for awhile.) Cons - After you score a basket and switch to defence, alot of the time your players can be in bad positions. - Some characters have poor shots but when the AI is controlling the charcter they never miss and when your controlling the same character they always miss. Leads me to think there is special modifiers for AI that increases the chances. - While fun at first the basket-ball does start to feel repetitive. - The stories and narrative between games didn't really grab me. Overall I eventually got bored with this and never finished the game but I'm still giving it a recommend. I think it would be harsh to give a thumbs down as the game doesn't really do anything wrong. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood.

A nice game, short but consistent. The gameplay and the story work well together, and the different choices allow you to really shape the evolution of the club.
