A pocket-friendly mobile soccer game

Soccer Super Star is a free sports game for mobile devices made by developer Real Freestyle Soccer. It is an arcade-style soccer title that boasts simple and intuitive swipe-based controls. Players will take on various matches and scenarios that will test their skills.

Compared to other soccer titles like Dream League Soccer 2022 or FIFA Soccer, Soccer Super Star provides more intuitive and linear gameplay that revolves around the idea of playing while on the go. It’s a condensed experience that fans can play and enjoy in short bursts and is ideal for some casual gaming.

Score and defend

For fans of mobile soccer games, being able to play intense matches while on the go is great. An intricate control scheme is devised to facilitate that experience. However, it is not an ideal solution for when you want to play while moving about or only have one vacant hand to use. Enter Soccer Super Star, a title that addresses this concern with flicks and swipes instead of button taps.

This soccer game starts off in a fairly standard manner and aside from its portrait-oriented gameplay, will seem like most games you’ve played before. Start a match, and you will quickly realize just how much of a difference its controls make. Pass the ball with a swipe and shoot for the goal with a controlled flick—the whole experience just feels fluid and inspires confidence as you play.

Graphics and animation aren’t anything awe-inspiring but are nice all the same, with good character designs and physics. Plus, it supports offline gameplay, so you can play even without an active internet connection. However, there is one area where it falters, much like its modern contemporaries and that is with poor player A.I. Your teammates would often behave erratically for no apparent reason.

One-man team

Soccer Super Star set out to offer a different way to play the sport that is more mobile-centric and intuitive, and it handily succeeds in its goal. Sadly, it’s let down by poor A.I. design and makes you feel you’re really the only one playing the match. This issue needs to be addressed ASAP as it sours the experience quite a bit.
