Football Tactics

Football Tactics is a turn-based soccer strategy. The game was developed by Creoteam, a Ukrainian studio, which has worked on the Collapse series.

Mechanics

The authors couldn't afford to buy official licenses, so the soccer world presented by them is inhabited by fictional players playing for non-existent teams that compete against each other in imaginary leagues. When we start playing, we create our club and then lead it to victory. The ultimate goal is to win the championship.

Each player is described by several statistics, which allow to quickly assess his skills and specialization. Matches are played in a turn-based system meaning that we don't have to be in a hurry with giving the commands. We get the option to control all players, but their actions are limited by movement points. In one turn, we can execute only three actions before the opponent starts executing theirs. Thanks to this solution, there are no situations in which the player would perform an entire action while the rival remains inactive.

Football Tactics also includes a simple managerial aspect. Between matches, we have to manage the budget, recruit new players, develop skills and teach them new tactics by spending experience points acquired during the matches. There is also the option of building your stadiums and hiring assistants to help us at work.

Game modes

We start the game with a club located in an amateur league. To become a champion, we have to keep advancing until we finally reach the top league. In addition to the campaign mode, there is also an option to compete with other people.
