### 2/5 — Troppo Facile

*2022-07-25, version 2.0*

Ho vinto alla prima stagione.

### 3/5 — Средненькая игра, не стоит своих денег

*2021-02-08*

Очень посредственная текстовая игра. Скучный геймлей, где все в основном рассчитано на рандом, достаточно скучный сюжет, если он вообще есть. Из плюсов прикольные игры с именами и названиями команд , Борис алюминович мое почтение) 
Ну а в целом не стоит отдавать за игру 450 кровных рубликов. В пс сторе иногда так стоит ведьмак 3. Поэтому троечка, вернул бы деньги.

### 2/5 — Short game

*2020-04-13, version 1.9*

The game was very good and enjoyable, but for the money I spent on it, it was a very short game

### 2/5 — It’s not great

*2020-04-09, version 1.9*

Riddled with grammar errors and a nonsense story, talking to cats and a book....just seems to be it doesn’t matter what you pick because nothing makes sense

### 3/5 — Deludente

*2019-12-10, version 1.9*

Boh chissà che mi aspettavo sinceramente. Influenzato forse dalle recensioni troppo positive. Partite lasciate troppo al caso in cui selezioni solo due o tre mosse. Pensavo fosse più incentrato sul discorso di carte e quindi sull’abilità di scegliere quella giusta.  Carina la storia e il discorso della scelta delle risposte. Ma basta lì. Peccato. Buttati un po’ di soldini.

### 2/5 — Appassionante ma noioso

*2019-12-09, version 1.9*

All’inizio questo nuovo approccio a un football manager può appassionare, ma la lentezza delle partite in cui sembra tutto molto lasciato al caso nonostante l’uso delle carte, la non chiarezza su che vantaggi darebbe una mossa rispetto a un’altra, rende tutto molto noioso. La telecronaca è monotona e rallenta molto il gioco, anche toccando ripetutamente lo schermo non si abbrevia.

### 4/5 — Different kind of game

*2019-11-25*

Unusual take on Football (Soccer) games. Worth a try, especially for just a few bucks/quid/euro. Instead of directly controlling players, you guide them generally, as a coach, holistically one might say. I found it humorous, interesting & entertaining. And the games can be exciting...you wouldn’t think mere dots on a playing field would be, but they are! Also, a recent update (November 2019) has addressed some of the issues mentioned in other reviews. FYI, the game is also available on Steam for PCs.

### 2/5 — Unresolved potential

*2019-11-17*

For a game called football drama, it is sadly boring. Marches are slow and frustrating. I can’t seem to figure out what I am doing and it seems unfairly random. At least it needs a good tutorial (if I am generously assuming that the problem is my lack of understanding) at its worse, it needs an overhaul of game play. 
It’s a shame. It is stylish, and a card based football game is a great idea. I also like the idea of a football game where you control the abstract ancillary parts of the game as a way to influence performances, but this game has not managed it.

### 4/5 — Great melodramatic football management game

*2019-10-13*

I just love it! Because it’s totally different to typical football manager games, great music, different playing styles with different game experiences, limited yes (compared to Life is strange or similar games), but for a mobile game - a small masterpiece. Good work also on the version updates. 👌🏻

**Developer response:** Hi Xyhgsyzg, sorry for that, we updated the game and fixed the problem; it took a while because of Apple's review process. If you update the app your saved progress will be preserved and you can continue playing.

### 2/5 — Underwhelming

*2019-10-12*

Really good idea, just not executed well. Games are pretty boring to play. There are a lot of in game stats that are never really explained. The drama outside of the pitch has a good premise, but there isn’t really much to do with it. Wouldn’t recommend for the price tag.

### 4/5 — Paar Stunden...

*2019-10-06*

... Zeitvertreib.
Sehr gute Idee!

### 1/5 — Langeweilig und unglaublich zäh...

*2019-10-01*

Spart euch das Geld..

### 2/5 — Buona idea, pessima realizzazione

*2019-09-30, version 1.6*

L’idea è buona ma la storia è superficiale, la grafica è simpatica ma il gameplay è terribilmente ripetitivo e capite un paio di logiche è semplicissimo vincere le partite. Peccato.

### 1/5 — Crasha

*2020-03-29, version 1.9*

Crasha continuamente. iPhone 7 aggiornato.

### 1/5 — Schwaches Spiel

*2019-12-08, version 1.9*

Langweilig. Auf die Spiele die man spielt hat man keinen Einfluss. Man trainiert ohne, dass man weiß was man trainieren sollte. Kauft nicht!

### 1/5 — Нужен фикс! Игра на е включается чёрный экран

*2019-12-08*

Игра просто не включается, хотя по системным требованиям должно работать.

Ps IPad mini 2, os 12.4.3

**Developer response:** This is on the game description:
*WILL NOT WORK ON iPad Mini 2, and iPad Mini 3, iPad Air 1, iPhone 5S.*

So sorry for that, we had to add it to the description as system requirements do not allow us to do this fine grained distinction between models. You could ask for a refund from the App Store.

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2019-12-07*

Купил скачал и не включается Деньги верните

### 1/5 — Was ein schlechtes Ende!!

*2019-10-16*

Das Spiel macht Spaß, die Grafik und der Sound überzeugen. Weniger überzeugend sind die immer gleichen Sprüche auf der Pressekonferenz nach dem Spiel und die KI-Interaktionen mit anderen Charakteren. Da spielt man mehrere Tage eine Saison, steht mit 30 Punkten Vorsprung auf Platz 1 und wird gefeuert, Spiel aus 😏 so machen Manager keinen Spaß!!!

### 1/5 — Purely randomised and no depth whatsoever.

*2019-10-07*

I can’t believe I paid money for this mess. The main game is about you choosing between two buttons and randomly playing cards that do not have the desired effect. This is an absolute mess of a game. Tiresome and obviously not thought through. Wish I could get money back for a product that was not designed with fun in mind.

### 1/5 — Unglaublich langweilig

*2019-10-05*

Das Spiel zieht sich wie Kaugummi. Die Story ist undurchsichtig und flach. Die Spiele sind willkürlich, ob man gewinnt oder verliert, ob eine Aktion erfolgreich ist oder nicht, ist nur Zufall. Da kann ich auch Mensch-ärgere-dich-nicht spielen.

### 1/5 — Sinnlos des kahrtausend

*2019-10-02*

Krankhaft schlecht

### 1/5 — Leider langweilig...

*2019-10-02*

Die ersten paar Spieltage sind interessant, weil es etwas Abwechslung gibt. Danach geht’s nur noch von Spiel zu Spiel. Es bleiben die immer gleichen Dialoge und Dialogoptionen bei Pressekonferenzen, bei den Kommentatoren. Die Steuerung der Spiele selbst ist undurchschaubar und langweilig. Es gibt jeweils nur zwei Optionen und ob der Ball irgendwann mal reingeht, scheint völlig zufällig zu sein. Die Animationen wiederholen sich auch ständig. Ganz ehrlich: Über fünf Euro ist das Spiel niemals wert! Schade.

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas

*2019-10-01*

Ne veux pas se lancer sur mon IPAD AIR !!!

**Developer response:** Sorry for that, you should ask a refund to the app store. We've put as first line on our description "Does not work on iPad Air" (but you probably didn't see that) as technically we cannot stop distribution to that specific model because according to the technical specification it supports "Metal", required by our game, but actually the support for Metal on iPad Air is partial. Sorry again.

### 5/5 — Sorprendente

*2019-12-31, version 1.9*

Gioco molto innovativo, grafica unica e notevole, musica originale e nell'insieme un'esperienza di gioco molto piacevole. Non me lo aspettavo, lo consiglio!

### 5/5 — A genuine and gripping adventure

*2019-12-08*

I had no idea what was happening 3/4 of the time, but I don't know if I'm supposed to. Deals of fate, chance, Kaos, and philosophy make for a gripping and surreal story.

### 5/5 — Круто

*2019-12-07*

Отличная игра, разработчики молодцы

### 5/5 — Благодарность

*2019-12-07*

Спасибо

### 5/5 — This is a diamond in the rough

*2019-10-24, version 1.7*

Can believe this game isn’t being pushed more by the App Store. An amazing take on the football genre. Really enjoyable and a story line to boot.

### 5/5 — Gutes Spiel

*2019-10-11*

Schöne Grafiken, gutes Spielsystem und motivierend. Allerdings stürzt es bei meinem XR an der selben Stelle ständig ab. Bitte patchen

Mach kurzer Zeit wurde der Fehler behoben, das gibt 5 Sternen 👍

**Developer response:** Hi Toby0802, sorry for that, we updated the game and fixed the problem; it took a while because of Apple's review process. If you update the app your saved progress will be preserved and you can continue playing.

### 5/5 — Вылетает на «Оракуле»

*2019-09-29*

Друзья, игра выглядит отлично! Звук тоже на уровне. Но, к сожалению, не могу продолжить игру. На 5-й неделе вылетает, при приходу к «Оракулу».

**Developer response:** Thank you for the 5 star anyway! We did fix this, just upgrade to 1.7. Thanks again!

### 5/5 — Miglior gioco dell’anno

*2019-09-27, version 1.6*

Storia appassionante, divertente e poetica! Caratterizzato da una prospettiva del tutto originale sul calcio, il gioco fa da contorno a uno storytelling intrigante. Un gioco di cui avevo bisogno ma che non sapevo di desiderare. Continuate cosi!

### 5/5 — Bella storia e partite esilaranti

*2019-09-25, version 1.5*

Un gioco molto originale e divertente. Ti cattura e ti appassiona per la storia piena di citazioni nascoste, l’ambientazione misteriosa e lo stile grafico evocativo. Il bello è che scopri questo piccolo mondo in un crescendo di sorprese e scene paradossali. Non tutto è rivelato e questo mi piace. All’inizio ti sembra di non avere il controllo, ma man mano che la storia e il campionato avanza inizi a capirne le dinamiche e come le scelte fatte durante i dialoghi con i personaggi e l’uso delle carte influenzano l’andamento del gioco stesso. Il mio primo gameplay è andato malissimo. Sono stato licenziato a metà campionato! Sicuramente lo rigiocherò per scoprire il resto della storia. Una piccola perla nel panorama dei giochi indie. Consigliato.

### 5/5 — Ничоси

*2019-09-22*

Очень интересная футбольная игра с крутым сюжетом . Правда лишь к 6 матчу стало скучно во время матча , игры какие то легкие , лишь 1 была сложная . В остальном гениально . Только что выявил 1 баг , срочно помогите . На 6 дне когда меня спрашивают про руки , при любом варианте игра вылетает !!!
