Sloclap, known for combat systems in Absolver and Sifu, surprises with REMATCH, an online multiplayer football game, during the beta test.
REMATCH, a Sloclap game, offers skill-based, nonstop 5v5 or 4v4 gameplay without stats or offsides, akin to 'Rocket League with people'.
Mechanics in REMATCH allow for supernatural athleticism, with martial arts nuances for detailed gameplay and impressive goals like bicycle kicks.
The game combines easy-to-understand controls with depth, requiring finesse for optimal ball control and shot precision against goalkeepers.
Despite positive experiences, concerns exist over latency, the skill system, and player satisfaction, with pricing discussions affecting some opinions.
Priced at $29.99 for Standard Edition, REMATCH's charm may not propel it to Rocket League's immediate fame, but its Game Pass inclusion may attract players.
Expected to launch on June 19, 2025, REMATCH aims to offer seasonal modes and purchasable content to keep players engaged post-launch.
The game's potential to be one of the best football games is highlighted, with a desire for a rematch evident post-beta, showcasing the game's allure.
Open beta for REMATCH runs on April 18-19, with a release planned for PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series, promising an engaging multiplayer football experience.
