Pixel Cup Soccer – Ultimate Edition Free Download GAMESPACK.NET The game boasts an extensive amount of features for such a small game, including three modes of play: Friendly, Competition, and Penalty kicks. There’s also an impressive array of matches that run the gamut of options, like Men’s and Women’s Global Cup Matches, American, European, and Global Cup Modes, as well as the ability to create your own Pixel League Tournaments. Pixel Soccer boasts so many features that you’ll find yourself playing long after the actual season is over. Aesthetically, Pixel Cup Soccer’s graphics are top-notch especially if you favor the nostalgic retro look and feel of past games. Player movements, while not lifelike, are fluid throughout as they execute some impressive diving headers and overhead bicycle kicks. Special abilities like jumping over defenders, add variety to the already impressive list of animations. The playing field is viewed from the traditional side-line perspective allowing gamers to see the entire field and set up strategies and tactics to exploit the opponent’s defenses.

There’s also a cool instant replay that pops after each goal that you can rub in your opponent’s face. But what’s soccer without all the crazy fans, the roar of the crowd, and the pumping atmospheric sound? Don’t worry, Pixel Cup has got you covered. Close your eyes and you’ll think you’re in an actual match. You’ll hear great crowd reactions to diving saves, near misses, and when you hear the clank of the ball as it ricochets off the goal post you’ll be clutching your controller like Donald Trump holding on to his tax returns. It’s moments like this that can trigger your pulse to skip a beat. Controlling your player has never been easier as the game utilizes three buttons for quick passing, shooting, and special abilities, which makes it extremely intuitive to pick up and play. I know most gamers will moan about the lack of buttons being used, but for me, it feels just right. The only minor issues I have with the game are two-fold: One, the AI defenders do not always do a great job of defending which makes for a lot of open-shot opportunities.

Second, the goalkeeper’s reaction time needs to be improved or sped up. Oftentimes, when the goalies make a save, they don’t react fast enough to make another save, especially when the ball is still in play and bouncing around right in front of them, which results in quite a few easy goals. Of course, these issues are resolved when playing against another person, but it does cheapen the single-player experience a bit. These drawbacks, however, are minor compared to the game’s overall strength. If you enjoy soccer games, especially those from the 16-bit era, that is fast and frenzy with awesome graphics and pumping sound effects, then Pixel Cup Soccer: Ultimate Edition is the game you need to get your hands, err, feet on. There are a number of different modes you can tackle (HA PUN), but they all play out in reasonably similar ways. You kick a ball around a field and try to score more goals than the other team. You get a variety of leagues and cups to kick your way through, friendly matches if you just fancy a quick kick about Hydroneer

Penalty tournaments, and a practice mode where you can try and hone your skills. A floating joystick controls whichever player is highlighted on your team, and two buttons control your actions. When you’re attacking one passes and one shoots. When you’re defending one tackles and one switches players. And that’s pretty much it. You can control the length and speed of matches, and change what the weather conditions are like, as well as changing the skill level of the 11 players on the other team. The one thing that’s missing from the equation is multiplayer. There are offline modes on the iPad, but no online modes, which would make the whole package even more entertaining. Still, this is a slick, gorgeous, easy to play arcade kick about that’s got an awful lot to offer. Booting the ball around just feels right, and pretty much every goal you score is a ridiculous screamer. It doesn’t have the simulation style or the correctly named players of the big boys, but that’s not the point. This is a mucky kick about in the park with your friends.

Penalties, Free Kicks

You’re providing the commentary, you’re making the crowd noise, and you’re having more fun than in any regimented game you’re ever played. Before you plunge into Pixel Cup Soccer 16, your expectations and assumptions of soccer games must be left at the door. Gone are staples of the genre, such as dash buttons, off the ball runs and custom tactics. Instead, the core gameplay boils down to move, pass, tackle and shoot. While Pixel Cup Soccer 16 allows for some variations on these mechanics, such as charging a pass to turn it into a lob, and power or finesse shooting options, it really does focus on the most entertaining elements of the sport in scoring goals. And it does this really well – the on screen controls seamlessly allow you to pass down the pitch with a surprising amount of tactical variation (you can choose to imitate the tiki-taka approach of Barcelona, lob through balls across the length of the pitch or attempt mazy solo runs and so on) and the arcade nature of the game eliminates the sluggish HYPERCHARGE Unboxed

cluttered feel of other football games on the App Store and just lets you have fun with the basics of the sport. As you’d expect, however, this attempt to excel in these core soccer elements means there are limitations to what you can do in the game. When you find a tactic that seems to work for you, it’s quite easy to simply repeat it ad infinitum and win most games in ease, even on the hardest difficulty. For example, I found that simply dribbling around opposing players as they failed on their attempts to slide tackle my player was easy enough to set up a free shot on goal. Of course, it’s down to you on the approach you decide to take while playing Pixel Cup Soccer 16, but when some methods work better than others it’s difficult to force yourself to try other less successful ones, especially when all the teams in the game have very little variation between them. There are also a few other little quirks, such as an occasional fluke golazo from far out sneaking in while powerful shots from close range being saved by the superhuman goalkeeper

Fouls, injuries, yellow and red cards

AI, however these are generally accepted concessions from the basic, arcade nature of the game, and are a price worth paying when it’s so much fun to pick up and play.Pixel Cup Soccer 16 is also surprisingly meaty in how many different options it has both in terms of tournaments you can take part in, but also how flexible and tweak-able the game engine is. Capitalising on the array of summer competitions, you can choose to play through Euro 2016, the Copa America Centenario as well as other tourneys such as the mens and women’s World Cup, complete with all the teams present and playable. The attention to detail is rather remarkable – the groups are exact replications of the actual real life ones (and are able to be randomised for even more variation), and while obviously there is no licenses in the game, all the players have their first names and so is surprisingly immersive – there truly is no better feeling scoring a last minute winner with Mesut Ozil, and this title allows such pipe dreams to happen.

There are also other modes, such as the option for a friendly match, a penalty kick showdown, a practice mode and limited offline multiplayer on iPad. While there’s no online play which would have been a fantastic bonus, it’s all still really well done – even in the menus, the music and production values are outstanding in what is a labour of love from the developers, and will bring a big smile to even the most cynical soccer fan. While the aforementioned strengths of the game should not be understated and this is a highly recommended title, the fact it is so much fun to play leaves me asking what more could be done to improve the experience more, and there is truly significant room for growth in a potential sequel. First and foremost, a career mode wouldn’t go amiss, and having the option to manage teams and take part in leagues to win promotion or titles would certainly add more to simply replaying the same tournaments. At the very least, having the option to customise and create your own tournament with specific teams would be a great addition.

A bit more variation in the strengths, weaknesses and play style of the teams and perhaps even individual players would detract from the fact that, barring hair and shirt colour and sprint speeds, the teams are essentially reskins of each other. However, what we do have in Pixel Cup Soccer 16 is extremely enjoyable to play, and variables that can be altered such as the weather, the stadiums you play in (most of which are taken from replicas from Euro 2016 and Copa America), the game speed and difficulty mean that there is so much variation to the basic core gameplay that it’ll take a long while before you look at placing this soccer simulation on the transfer list. It has been a long while since I’ve had as much fun playing any soccer game as I have with Pixel Cup Soccer 16. Despite a few teething issues, most of these are inherent consequences of the fast paced and streamlined design choice of the title, and the positives of such an approach more than make up for any potential limitations.
