User Reviews

Players praise World Soccer Challenge for its extensive catalog of World Cups/eras and ad-free, fast gameplay, with fun to play as real players. However, the top issues are missing World Cup 2022 on iOS, weak defense/AI balance, clunky controls without a joystick, and a lack of game modes like local multiplayer. Updates are welcome but platform gaps and balance bugs hinder the experience.

Pros

Huge variety of World Cups and eras with real players (e.g., Ronaldo 2002, Neymar 2014).
Ad-free experience.
Fast, addictive retro-style gameplay that fans enjoy.
Play as any team across many World Cups.
Recent updates and ongoing content are appreciated.

Cons

No World Cup 2022 on iOS yet; players repeatedly request 2022 edition.
Defense is weak or non-existent; AI and goalkeepers sometimes make unfair saves.
Controls and UI are clunky; defending is difficult and there’s no joystick option.
Missing modes like local multiplayer, leagues, or friendly matches; limited feature set.
Platform inconsistencies and balance issues; Android can access 2022 while iOS lags.

The update is wonderful helps with boredom in the car and when there’s nothing to play!

This game is good but it pisses me off because of the gameplay i try to pass and it takes 4 seconds to pass and i always lose the ball that way. the gameplay shoulda been like the other game they made
