Developer: Panicbarn (Not tonight)
Publisher: No More Robots



It's been a year since The Calamity™ tore apart the very foundations of soccer as we know it, and since then, Soccer Inc. has made dang well sure that not a soul has been allowed to even look at a soccer ball, let alone kick it.

Soccer may have been banned across the world... but now there is hope! A magical soccer ball has chosen you, our Savior of Soccer!

Image

Soccer Story is a physics-driven adventure RPG, where every problem can be solved with your trusty magic ball. Along the way, you'll need to best bad guys in 1v1s, compete in a range of different sports (with your soccer ball, of course), and sometimes use your brain just as much as your balls

In a world that has long forgotten The Beautiful Game, can you remind them why soccer is top of the table, and best the most formidable teams, including the local toddlers and a group of sharks?


Drop your soccer ball and play anywhere! The world is full of goals, puzzles and secrets - it's up to you to find them!

- Play a single-player story full of quirky characters, quests, rogue refs and wacky soccer-adjacent sports
- Build your soccer career and do battle against the fiercest soccer teams like literal sharks, toddlers, old-age pensioners and ninjas
- Save soccer and restore peace and harmony to the world
- Grab a friend for a four-player local multiplayer match mode with a full roster of teams and animal captains

Image

Yes, Soccer Story has multiplayer matches too!
Grab up to 3 friends, and convince them that soccer is the ultimate sport by challenging them to local multiplayer matches!

With a whole host of teams and captains to choose from, find your personal playstyle and hold your own tournaments at home across the many pitches, from home matches at Soccertown to the vast Soccer Inc Stadium!

Little bit cheeky as this has nothing to do with Golf/Sports Story but I think this looks like it could be great fun!

This looks incredible. It probably wont be quite as good as it first appears, but I'm very keen to try it.

I actually bought my Switch for Golf Story.

This would actually be more subtle a copy of Panicbarn than Not Tonight was to Papers Please

I feel like I can't stress enough how much this sounds like the premise of that game:

Barkley, Shut Up & Jam: Gaiden wrote:The Great B-Ball Purge of 2041, a day so painful to some that it is referred to only as the “B-Ballnacht”. Thousands upon thousands of the world’s greatest ballers were massacred in a swath of violence and sports bigotry as the game was outlawed worldwide. The reason: the Chaos Dunk, a jam so powerful its mere existence threatens the balance of chaos and order. Among the few ballers and fans that survived the basketball genocide was Charles Barkley, the man capable of performing the “Verboten Jam”…

Flash forward 12 years to the post-cyberpocalyptic ruins of Neo New York, 2053. A Chaos Dunk rocks the island of Manhattan, killing 15 million. When the finger is put on the aging Charles Barkley, he must evade the capture of the B-Ball Removal Department, led by former friend and baller Michael Jordan, and disappear into the dangerous underground of the post-cyberpocalypse to clear his name and find out the mysterious truth behind the Chaos Dunk. Joined by allies along the way, including his son Hoopz, Barkley must face the dangers of a life he thought he gave up a long time ago and discover the secrets behind the terrorist organization B.L.O.O.D.M.O.S.E.S.

So you play as the villains in this? Trying to restore football to a Utopian world where it was banned?

Interesting blend of pixel and (I assume) voxel graphics, can't think of any other games that do that.

Weirdly not related to Golf Story which is annoying a lot of people thinking they copied the idea/copied everything lol
