What people are saying
The biggest appeal of this game is that even people without soccer knowledge or casual gamers can play it with friends as a ridiculous game, or enjoy it while making jokes.
As a huge Captain Tsubasa fan, I was happy that it is based on the original’s World Youth story, which had not really been adapted into other media until now.
