Football, Tactics & Glory is a sports video game developed by Creoteam. It combines traditional sports management games, role-playing video games, and turn-based tactics. Creoteam and Toplitz published it in 2018 for Windows. It was ported to consoles in 2020. In North America, it was released as Soccer, Tactics & Glory.
Gameplay
Players manage an association football team from they play in a sports league. Members of the team, who have generic names, can be customized like in role-playing games through skill trees,[1] and each character has a class.[2] Matches are played from a top-down perspective and are turn-based and tactical, though characters can act independently in some circumstances. Each match has a limited number of turns.[3]
Development
Creoteam, a development studio from Ukraine, originally included percentages that showed the chance of successfully performing a move, but they felt the resulting conservative gameplay caused matches to become boring. To encourage more dynamism, they removed the percentages.[4] Football, Tactics & Glory entered early access in June 2015 under the former title Football Tactics.[5] After being retitled,[3] the Windows version was released on June 1, 2018. The ports to Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One were released on January 22, 2020.[6]
Reception
Football, Tactics & Glory received mixed reviews on Metacritic.[7][8] Rock Paper Shotgun called it "beautifully engineered" and praised its streamlined gameplay, which they felt did not oversimplify the sport.[2] Despite initially finding the concept goofy, Polygon enjoyed the mashup of genres and called the resulting gameplay "a convincing simulation of soccer strategies".[1] Nintendo Life said it is "ugly to watch and completely lacking in any flair, but effective enough to get results".[9] GamesRadar, who included it in their list of best football games, recommended it to casual sports fans.[10]
