I grew up in a city the place some folks hated the color inexperienced, as a result of they supported Rangers FC and inexperienced was related to their rivals, Celtic FC. They’d smash inexperienced visitors lights, inexperienced road cupboards, inexperienced store indicators…
I’m wondering what their response can be to Soccer Story, an “journey RPG” about enjoying football-ish sports activities in a lush, inexperienced, nearly Pokémon-like world.
Here is the announcement trailer. Attempt to not smash your displays, Rangers followers:
“It has been a 12 months since The Calamity™ tore aside the very foundations of soccer as we all know it, and since then, Soccer Inc. has made dang nicely certain that not a soul has been allowed to even have a look at a soccer ball, not to mention kick it,” says the blurb on the official web site. Enter you, who has been chosen by “a magical soccer ball” to remind everybody why soccer is nice.
Banned or not, the trailer above exhibits the protagonist enjoying in what appear to be soccer matches, with tackles and photographs and all the things. It additionally exhibits wave protection battles fought with a soccer, aiming mini-games, chatting with ghosts, turn-based fight, and so much else.
I like video games which take a sport and use it because the central mechanic for a unique style of recreation. The most well-liked latest instance of that’s Golf Story on Swap, whose builders are actually engaged on a extra expansive followup referred to as Sports activities Story. Soccer Story is unrelated to these video games and is developed by Not Tonight creators PanicBarn.
There is not any launch date for Soccer Story but, however you possibly can join a PC beta which is “coming very quickly”, and discover extra screenshots over on Steam.
