If you grew up watching Captain Tsubasa or just love over-the-top anime soccer, this DS game nails the vibe. The second you boot it up, you're thrown into those ridiculous super shots—expect fire trails, impossible angles, and goalkeepers getting blasted into the net. It’s less FIFA and more "what if soccer was secretly Dragon Ball."

Story mode follows the anime beats (Tsubasa’s rise, rivalries, etc.), but the real fun is building your dream team. The strategy’s deeper than it looks—some players combo better together, and picking the right special moves matters when you’re down a goal. Controls take a minute to click, but once you nail the timing on those sliding tackles, it feels stupidly satisfying.

Visually, it’s peak DS-era charm: chibi sprites, flashy cutscenes for big moves, and commentary that’s hilariously dramatic. Just don’t expect realism—this is a game where a well-timed cyclone shot can win a match in the last 10 seconds. Perfect for quick handheld matches when you want soccer with zero chill.
