Who's the hardest motherfuckers around, huh?
~ rock 'n' roll, motherfuckers, rock 'n' roll roll, OH AH ~

Extremely hard, brutal, fast paced with many maany combos and special moves to use, and on top of all that kick ass music that goes along with the game.
For a fan-made game (made with OpenBOR), it doesn't get any better than this.

An extremely unique experience, frustrating at times but very rewarding by the end and as a whole.

It has some nice features like complete animated scenes with voice acting which for the time period was mind blowing, then again if you don't know the story prior to playing the game you won't understand much since the cut-scenes are extremely summarized and cut/re-invented to fit into the game (probably for time restrictions). Gameplay follows the exact same formula than the games from the Famicom or super nintendo, nothing new here really. Music for me is a downside since there are no bangers sadly which is a must for Captain Tsubasa games.
You have better options if you want to play old tsubasa games, imo best one is Captain Tsubasa Vol. II: Super Striker. (btw the description in backloggd for this game is incorrect)


I get it, Konami wants to appeal to a younger audience and cash in like Resident Evil is doing, but this is not Silent Hill, and they are doing a terrible job at it. It's just a tag to attract attention before releasing SH2 Remake and towards the atrocious SH ascension. There are literally tons of games like this one - walking sims with some chase horror sequences - out there, nothing new, nothing groundbreaking. At this point, I would rather they focus only on pachinko slots. I understand that creating another character like James is a tall order, but this cringe teen?
Also, poor Yamaoka Akira.
I guess the only good thing is that it is free.

2021

Good retro game with so many extremely annoying issues that are almost a deal breaker.

Just to name a few (not counting bugs):
-The bolt puzzle with a timer, so badly designed and also it's glitchy as hell.
-No confirmation when you save the game or being able to rotate saves, I accidentally saved the game when I didn't want to just because the controls are buggy inside menus.
-Making a joystick to work on this game is a mess.
-One specific boss fight is so buggy and not fun at all.
-Some parts are so dark, is hard to see what's going on and there is no way to fix this.
-Enemies being able to stun-lock you till you are dead is not fun.
-Not enough information to know what some things you are buying are in the first place.

Without those issues this could be a truly great game, sadly is seems those are there by choice of the developer, which simply mind-blowing.

Don't be fooled, it seems very easy at first but by the end some bosses are extremely hard.
There should be some notes or hints to where you can find some stuff, I had to watch tons of videos because it was impossible to get some items to progress into the game even after wandering around for 1 hour.
