![]() ![]() Barry Leitch is the music composer for this game. The loud cheers when you score, it’s all here. The sound effects are brilliant, again it brings that Sensi vibe, the crowd shouting “OOOH!” as you just miss the goal, going wide. Now on to the audio, which has that retro feel also. Torrential rain won’t stop this penalty from happening. I didn’t experience any graphical glitches or issues at all whilst playing the game. The game does run really well, of course, and it looks nice on larger screens too. However, you will notice when it’s raining or in an icy match, there are some nice reflections on the grass below. They’re retro-inspired which makes them rather basic. There’s not really much to say about the graphics. Super Arcade Football is just pure fun from the get-go. So as you can see, straight away, the game is just how I remember Sensi being. Excuse the cheesy introduction from me haha. Check out a match I recorded below, this was during the story mode. You can also set up a custom tournament here. ![]() Tournaments contains preset game modes such as leagues and knockouts. Quick matches are pretty fun as you can have modifiers active, which means you can apply oil slicks to the pitch, or have meteorites raining down on players whilst they’re trying to play the beautiful game. ![]() ![]() Not only is there the story mode, but there are also quick matches, tournaments, and online matches. There’s a massive variety of challenges though so these will certainly keep you busy. Receive 2 red cards or less during the match.Of course, if you miss a star it doesn’t matter, you can still progress as long as you won the match. However, in the story mode, the game challenges you to 60 different matches, each has three starred challenges meaning you can earn up to three stars per match. The game itself is rather easy to play, I won far more matches than I lost. Just space bar, or enter, or A if using an Xbox controller on Windows. None of these fancy tricks by pressing L2, R2, Start, Up, Down, Up, Down, Cross, and Square all together at the same time. It’s such a simple way to play a football game and I love it. That’s another thing I love about this game, it is literally a one-button game. One using WASD and space bar, the other using the arrow keys and Enter. You can do that on Super Arcade Football. The good news is, remember the days of sharing a keyboard to play co-op with a friend? Gooooooooooal! You can also play locally against other players, I only tried with one other player but you can have more, I believe it is up to four playing locally. That leads me to compatibility with controllers in this game. It felt so similar playing Super Arcade Football on a mechanical keyboard because of the switches. Clicking away on the joystick itself and the buttons tapping and clicking as I was passing and shooting. This immediately threw me back to my younger days of playing Sensi with a Competition Pro Joystick in my hands. It looks similar, it plays the same, it even has similar sound effects. It is literally a love letter to the classic from Sensible Software. If you ever played Sensible Soccer (also known as Sensi) on classic platforms such as the Commodore Amiga, then you will instantly love Super Arcade Football. On to the actual gameplay, it’s fantastic. Could this be the lucky coin Martin has been relying on and will it pay off? Only you can find that out by playing the game yourselves. Old Joe agrees and receives a one-pound coin from Martin, which is cracked and has a hole in it. Anyway, we meet Old Joe who is the owner of Balarm Football Club, which has gone bankrupt.Īfter a short chat about the club needing to stay and to prove their worth against the local rivals Snakesfield, Martin agrees to buy Balarm F.C. I just found it awesome that he shares the same name as me. That is the default name of our protagonist and can not be changed. So straight off the bat (or ball?), we are introduced to our main character in the game who is coincidentally named Martin. Check out my previous review here where I played the long-awaited King’s Bounty II. Will Super Arcade Football win the league? Or will it be relegated to the bottom of the pile? Continue reading to find out. Super Arcade Football Smashes It Into The Back Of The Net! It is a retro-inspired football game that pays homages to the classic Sensible Soccer.
