“Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions” (v1.46.1 and all DLC) has received a “Mostly Positive” (72%) rating on Steam. The game has been widely praised by anime fans for its stunning cel-shaded graphics and its unconventional, fast-paced football action, delivered in an arcade-style format. However, it has been criticised by players accustomed to traditional sports simulations, as the gameplay mechanics have been greatly simplified and a large amount of text, in the style of a visual novel, appears on screen.
“Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions (v1.46.1 & all DLC)”is a fast-paced anime action game in the form of a football game, offering more of a pure arcade-style spectacle than a realistic football simulation. The overall review highlights that the core of the gameplay lies in aggressive, foul-free tackles and spectacular special attacks, and that to score a goal, you don’t need to make tactical passes, but rather shoot repeatedly to deplete the opposing goalkeeper’s stamina gauge.
