Football Heroes League, a tactical soccer game featuring heroes, skills, and over-the-top multiplayer action, is out now in Early Access on Steam and Epic Games Store for PC.
From former developers of Treyarch, EA, and Pandemic Studios, Run Games' hero-based spin on the beautiful game was released following its reveal during the Future Games Show at gamescom latam.
Per its official page on Steam, Football Heroes League is described as a high-octane multiplayer soccer game where superhuman abilities meet precise controls.
Every hero on the pitch is controlled by a player to create dynamic matches that blend tactics with special moves. Meanwhile, a third-person control system will be used to aim shots, play perfect passes, and unleash unique character abilities that defy physics.
At first glance, Football Heroes League looks similar to Rocket League but without the vehicles. Players have the option of 2v2, 3v3, and 5v5 matches, with games taking place inside a huge futuristic arena surrounded by a see-through wall and vibrant colors.
There are currently five heroes with distinct abilities and playstyles available to choose from in Football Heroes League. These include Kenzo, an attacker with abilities like a Spinning Bicycle Kick to score incredible goals, Bun-E, a defender who can use her robots to prevent shots from going in, and Beckers, an appropriately named midfielder whose balanced abilities make them a threat all over the pitch.
Here are some of the other main features included in Football Heroes League at launch:
- Core Football gameplay: dribbling, trapping, tackling, passing, shooting, etc.
- Classic Mode with superpowers disabled for traditional soccer gameplay
- Training modes for dribbling, juggling, and shooting
- A tutorial to teach players how to play
- Offline AI matches for skill development and a relaxed experience
- Competitive ranking ladder from Plastic Division to Soccer God
- Daily and weekly quests with currency rewards
- Free Hero rotation system
- Hero customization options
- Purchasable skins, emotes, and new heroes
A game centered around rewarding smart play and playing to the heroes' strengths, Football Heroes League is available to download now as a free-to-play title via Steam and the Epic Games Store. As it is still in Early Access, new modes, characters, and features will be added as development continues ahead of a planned multiplatform launch.
