While the developers certainly deserve credit for their unique concept and magnificent atmosphere this game is a bit of a misfire, the gameplay is just lacking in too many areas and the creativity is put into little references rather than the actual gameplay itself. While this is certainly a game that people can, and have, enjoyed it was a very tedious experience for me and one that I can’t recommend unless you enjoy a more passive gaming experience.

Football Drama offers an exciting concept and a sympathetic presentation. Especially after my meeting with the developer during this years Gamescom, I was really excited to see a game that depicts the whole world of football. Unfortunately the constant repetitions of the gameplay as well as the sloppy translation and missing tutorials made it a rather unsatisfying experience. If Open Lab Games improves on the last two points, I might be able to finish a few more seasons with Manager Rocco Gallianio.

Football Drama is an intriguing hybrid of genres, which prefers narration with the main character that holds hope and passion for all of us.

Despite the repetitive nature of some games, Football Drama has definitely managed to score a winner.

Football Drama carried the hopes of a title that approaches the round ball in a different aspect than the simulation. Unfortunately, completely hollow in his game system in match and very limited in the moral choices he offers as a coach, Football Drama annoys and disappoints.
