Kick Off (Amiga Version) - Single Game Mode Longplay
5- Kick Off (Amiga Version) - Single Game Mode Longplay -
Kick Off is a soccer video game developed by Dino Dini and published by Anco Software. Released in 1989 for the Amiga, among other platforms, the game is recognized for its top-down perspective and groundbreaking gameplay mechanics that set it apart from other soccer games of its era. Unlike many of its contemporaries, this game does not keep the ball attached to the player's feet, requiring more skillful ball control and providing a more realistic experience.
The title offers several modes, including single-player and multiplayer options, allowing users to compete against each other or the computer. The fast-paced gameplay emphasizes strategic play, featuring dribbling, passing, and shooting that demand precise timing and control. The game includes different difficulty levels and allows players to choose from various teams, each with unique strengths and weaknesses.
Graphically, it employs a simple yet effective style, focusing on clear and functional visuals that support the gameplay. The sound effects and music are minimal but enhance the overall immersive experience. The design encourages quick, strategic thinking, providing a challenging yet rewarding experience.
The game was well-received upon its release, praised for its innovative mechanics and engaging gameplay. It has since become a classic, influencing many subsequent soccer games and spawning a series of sequels and spin-offs. Its legacy endures, with fans continuing to celebrate its impact on the genre.
On a personal note, you know all too well I am a Sensible Soccer enthusiast, but it goes without saying I hold high respect for its rival series in one of the hottest gaming rivalries of the 90s. Unfortunately, that doesn't make me a great player of this game, so knocking off some rust with an exhibition match before trying my hand at the League mode seems wise.
