“A different take on football management, but very demotivating when you start off and are hammered by every opponent. Its not unlike a football board game in concept. Not really for me but some may like it.”

“Doesn't open anymore. Opens for 1 sec and then closes. Not cool The 25 hours I got on my old PC EDIT: Developer helped me fix the bug. I had an old save file that needed to be deleted and that fixed my problem!”

“Football, Tactics & Glory scratched an itch I didn't know I had — I'm not even a huge football fan, but the turn-based tactical layer hooked me immediately, giving that satisfying XCOM-style feeling of planning out moves and watching them pay off. The management loop between…”
— a player, Steam review · 356 hrs played“As you can see, I have hundreds of hours on this game, and I've been playing it for many years. I've always been a huge fan of games that blend turn based strategy with a side of the game dedicated towards managing staff, money, facilities etc (games like xcom, if you know…”

Unusual turn based approach to playing matches, so although many will love it like me, it won't be for everyone I dont think.
