Our Expert Score

95/100

New Star Soccer is quite simply the best football game on mobile, and it doesn't even use traditional joystick controls. It focuses on the *life* of a footballer, from the teenage trials to international stardom. The 'slice-of-life' elements—buying cars, managing relationships, and getting sponsorships—make you feel truly invested in your character's career.

The match gameplay is brilliant: time slows down for 'key moments' where you have to pass, shoot, or intercept. These moments are purely skill-based, requiring you to hit the ball in just the right spot for swerve or power. It’s incredibly addictive because you're always just one match away from a better contract or a league title. It’s the RPG that soccer fans never knew they needed.
