## What is Striker’s Instinct?

Lace up your boots and become a legend with Striker's Instinct, the retro-inspired soccer career game re-imagined for mobile.
 
Just like those classic 80’s soccer games, SI is simple to play and deceptively moreish. Take aim at the goal and find the back of the net. Easy. Except when it’s the 89th minute and you’re one down in the cup final. Because when the pressure is on and the stakes are high, everything rides on your Striker's Instinct.
 
Take your player to glory from the depths of the lower leagues, or start at the top and take on the big boys in the top division from day one. Miss a sitter and you might find yourself warming the bench. Bag a hattrick and get called up for the national team. It’s all about keeping your composure.
 
Experience the highs and lows of the beautiful game with last minute equalisers, transfer day drama and cup upsets that will have you screaming (or weeping) at the screen.
 
So will you be lifting trophies or flinging your phone across the room?
 
Only one way to find out – download Strikers' Instinct now.
 
Ways to play:

NEW Global Cup Campaign. Challenge your friends in an async Global Cup multi-player campaign.
 
Career Mode. Work your way up from nobody to national hero. Earn your place in the starting eleven, negotiate interest from other clubs and chase that elusive international call up.
 
Mission mode. Enjoy quick adhoc challenges, like knocking a top tier team out of the Cup with a minnow, or jump straight in to the Global Cup.
 
Mini games. Sharpen your shooting skills or challenge your friends. Need to settle something? Forget coin flips and have a penalty shoot-out.
 
The app comes as a fully playable demo, including your entire first career season and a handful of missions. If you enjoy the demo, pay a one time fee to unlock the full experience. No depleting energy reserves. No ads. Just an old school playable demo. And with Family Sharing enabled, one purchase covers the whole household.

### 1/5 — JOGO COMPLETO PAGO

*2026-07-06*

Porque não bota logo o jogo todo de graça aí fica sem graça fica pagando o jogo completo

### 5/5 — Downloaded to play World Cup with mates

*2026-06-20, version 5.2.3*

And now I’m several competitions deep in the career mode and trying to get my first call up for England. 

Brilliant fun and a fresh take on a classic with loads of fun ways to play solo (no internet required) or in competition.

### 5/5 — 5/5

*2026-06-20, version 5.2.3*

As a fan of the original striker this is great fun, the only thing I’d change is the league page layout, the table needs its own page it’s too small

### 5/5 — Love this football retro feel!

*2026-06-20, version 5.2.3*

Great game, really addictive, love the fact can play tournament with friends

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-06-18, version 5.2.3*

As the title says

### 5/5 — Bom jogo

*2026-06-18*

Em crescimento

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2026-06-04, version 5.0.8*

Loads of fun. Not addictive, great way to pass some time

### 5/5 — Well executed

*2026-05-11*

Great game very fun

### 3/5 — Fun but frustrating

*2026-04-30, version 4.7.2*

Passes the time but the constant need for a perfect game to get a win because the opposing teams score 5/6 a game is unrealistic (mid difficulty level), the goal percentage makes you chase perfection also but penalties come down to a 50/50 guess while a shot from the halfway line is a guaranteed goal - overall a fun game for a short while but needs balancing out

### 5/5 — 5/5

*2026-04-07, version 4.4.4*

That chef’s kiss feeling when the keeper goes the right way at a penalty but you score anyway
