Glow Hockey
or
Air Hockey Virtual
experience.
Like soccer, but with pucks
If you think you can’t fit in another mobile game, check again with Soccer Stars: Football Kick. It only requires
62.82 MB
to install and doesn’t store much user data. However, it
requires an active internet connection
to play, primarily because it pits you against AI or human opponents. Similarly, you can
invite your friends
by linking the game with your social media accounts.
For the gameplay, it features two opposing sides with
five pucks each
. This is a
turn-based
game where you can choose which puck to flick the ball with. Interestingly, it features
in-game physics
that allows the pucks to hit and move everything they hit. The game has
multiple
themed fields
representing each World Cup nation. Its game modes include one-on-one, special events, minigames, and a
practice offline
option.
The game matches you with an opponent, although there’s no way to know if it’s a
human or an AI opponent
. One clue, unfortunately, is that AI opponents tend to take the best move every turn, making some of them almost impossible to beat. Also, it features
ads for in-game rewards
, but even this mechanic seems buggy, with players reporting receiving nothing after.
An enjoyable flicking game
Soccer Stars: Football Kick is one of those casual games that offer hours of fun and the
convenience of replayability
whenever you want to. It has a small file size and ensures that you’ll always find a match, apart from its special timed events. While the AI opponents can get overwhelming for some players, it’s still fun and enjoyable. You can even
invite your friends. Recommended.
