It has been a long time since we got a new game starring the famous anime "Captain Tsubasa", and now with the return of the classic series production with modern graphics for new audiences, Bandai Namco has found the time is right for us to come back to us again with an action soccer game that tells the classic story, but this time Let's fight it with Tsubasa and his comrades and challenge the competitors and also our friends with the multiplayer game modes, so has Bandai Namco presented us with a special game for this iconic character? Today we find out the answer through our review of Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions.

Let's start talking with the game with its technical side, have you provided us with distinctive graphics and sounds that we will remember as was the case in the classic anime? Well speaking about the game's graphics, it is undoubtedly not the best that can be seen at the end of the age of the generation, the characters' models are very weak in terms of details and the worst of that is the very weak presentation method for this product where we see most of the dialogues or cinematic scenes with limited quality and the weakness of movement and animation in them and in some of them are closer They do not have fixed images to tell the story and events, also inside the game, things are not in a better condition with a clear weakness in the quality of the graphics, whether in the details of the characters or even the shadows and lighting. .

When we talk about Captain Tsubasa, we remember those immortal melodies that the classic anime series gave us, and we also do not forget to talk about the wonderful tracks that we heard about Captain Tsubasa games on the Super Nintendo device, but here there is not much to talk about, there is a voice representation of the characters which is good, but talking about music They are limited and apart from the main melody, there are a small number of melodies that are repeated throughout the games with sound effects for special strikes and dialogues within the matches in the story phase, overall on the technical level this game is not good and with the presence of some technical errors that you will face in the game and it seems very clear the weakness of the project budget Perhaps the modest level of the development team behind the game.

Let's talk about the gameplay, well Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is an action-packed and unreal soccer game, it tries to make itself between realistic soccer games and also stunt soccer games. As usual, there is a button for passing, shooting, long passes, and also Passing between players and at the same time there are those superhuman strikes and unrealistic transgressions and the lack of the usual football rules of errors against the opponent far from the offside case only, the game's rule was a mystery to me, as there is a lack of quick response to the implementation of orders in some times, which made me doubt that the device My control is facing a problem, but even with the experience of a second controller, the same problem remained, as I often pressed the pass or shot button without a response from the game.

The game system depends a lot on the shoulder buttons and pressing at the right time, when you confront the opponent, you have to press the shoulder button R1 or R2 to pass him and that you succeed, this will increase your energy counter, which facilitates the process of carrying out special strikes instead of filling it by pressing the square button for a long time, for example To pay, this design option does not make the game enjoyable to a great extent, with time it becomes a boring routine and by repeating the same game and by just trying to deliver the ball to the strongest player by shooting and hitting it from anywhere on the court to try to score, the strength of the players increases immediately after losing the ball except for the goalkeeper who does not increase His strength or he regains his strength only after a goal or between the two halves of the match hits him, and therefore one of the appropriate strategies is to try to exhaust the goalkeeper because it is easy to score goals on him.

The game system here suffers for many reasons, the artificial intelligence in the game is limited and you often find yourself passing the ball to another player and coming behind him while he is running and does not take it or comes in front of him and does not advance to it, and you do not expect to see the players change their positions on the stadium naturally, you should here do everything manually. He attacks from the side of the wing, so do not expect your full-back to try to block him, and you will find him standing in his place only until you move him to block the attack, as well as the rest of the centers in the game.

The game offers a number of play phases, there is a story phase which is divided into two parts, the first is the easy one where you go into the same story of the anime series in the middle stage of it, "Part Two in the Arabic version" and play with the "Nunksto" team led by Tsubasa until achieving the local league championship for the third time in a row, While the second section of the story development "The New Hero" is the most difficult and has the greatest focus on content, and through it you will design a completely new character that is linked to one of the 3 academies of the story of the game and you will compete with them through the local championship until the Japanese national team reaches a world championship to be held in France , During the phase, you will develop your character according to your performance in matches and your achievement of the goals in them, and you will also learn the special strikes and skills of the players according to your choice of them.

There are a number of other stages in the game, including the challenge phase, the exercise phase and the online game phase, the story phase in its first section is not long at all and can be completed within two hours, but the other story phase will require you for a long time until it is finished and your choices play an important role in the formation of your character, well The game Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is provided with it with limited pleasure, the game system is not perfect and carries with it many flaws boring its idea, the game offers with it good content for its value, but weak with most of its main elements, so if you are a fan of Captain Tsubasa, you may accept all the defects of the game But if you are not a fan of him, it is very difficult to convince you of the level of this game.
