A good football game (or football for those across the pond) is often known for its facial, high-level action. Players are always on the move, they always wanted that one an important opening to get behind the net. Ganbare! Super Strikers it's a strange little puzzle, in which its strategy-based gameplay is a slow process, and it ends up being a bit confusing when you're used to play ing traditional examples of popular games (as we all are).
The gameplay is turn-based, giving you and your CPU enemy the opportunity to interact with all the players in the lineup, blocking the attacker. You will need to select each player and select from several options, including pass, drop, or move position. Each player receives a maximum of two orders at a time, and when you're done with your turn, your opponent is gone.
When given the option to interact with each player, the field is converted to grid format, allowing you to navigate anywhere within the set parameters. The game encourages you to think strategically, and like the classic game of chess, you will have to try and think of several advances if you are to achieve the goal successfully and defend your own at the same time. This is a lot harder to do than you might think, as it might be wonderfully it is difficult to predict where a opponent can move their players.
In addition, performing moves like passes, bends, cuts, or shots increases the power level, which will determine the success of your chosen action. So, for example, if you choose to shoot the ball towards the goal, your own power will go far beyond that of the goal. What level of power goes out at face time will determine the outcome, so there is usually a certain level of luck involved with the game.

There are a few frills added to the most important moments, such as the lovely comic book style that illuminates the screen when you score.
As a strategy game, Gambare! The Super Strikers work well enough, but the backdrop is a little outdated. The standard gameplay is loaded with options to play with, but a lot of it feels very dependent on luck, and we can't just spread the feeling that it should be a little too much. Quickly. However, if you are a sports enthusiast and want to stick to the aspect of football strategy, this will definitely keep you busy for a while.
