To be honest, I have been playing since the Symbian era, and I have witnessed the changes in mobile games in the past ten years. Back then, I played "Football Manager 2010" on the Nokia N97. With the small screen and stylus, I stayed up all night playing it. At that time, there were no online battles or daily tasks. It was just about buying, selling, and adjusting formations. Watching the team advance from the second division to the top league, the sense of accomplishment still feels solid when I think about it now.
Later, smart phones became popular and I started playing the mobile game "Pro Evolution Soccer". The graphics did improve, but to be honest, it was too boring. You have to play ranked and do activities every day, and you will fall behind if you are not careful. I am a 30-year-old person. I have to go to work during the day and want to relax when I get home at night. How can I have so much energy to catch up on progress?
So I was quite surprised to see this "All-Star Football" recently. The painting style is Q-version funny, which makes it easy to watch, and the gameplay is more strategic, so you don't have to worry or get angry. I played for two days. The core is to be the owner of a club, sign legendary players, train them, and arrange the formation to play games. The player data is said to be truly restored, which is very conscientious and there is no messing with the values. Moreover, it places special emphasis on "liver protection". There is no design that forces you to swipe back and forth every day. If you want to play, you can go online and take a look. If you don't want to play, you can just leave it. You can still save resources.
I'm not going to brag about it, but there are indeed very few football mobile games on the market today that are purely business-oriented and don't force people to do anything. The developer is Hangzhou Huacai Network. It seems to have made several casual games before. The atmosphere of this company should be good. The charging mode is 0, which is equivalent to free play, and the in-app purchases are not excessive. For old players like us, it is very rare to be able to regain the mentality we had when playing "Champions Football Manager".
If you are like me and miss the days when you could enjoy the fun of football strategy without too much fatigue, you can try this one. Just think of it as giving yourself a vacation and regaining the original joy of gaming. 😊
