Charrua Soccer.
Man, I miss these pure arcade football games. Feels a bit like FIFA circa early 2000s, although a lot more fast-paced, no commentary, and no offsides. I would have said FIFA Street, but this sticks with the general rules, stays eleven-aside, and without super powers (although you do get some crazy screamers from outside the box and knocking in a bicycle kick feels ridiculously fun).
A little bit like Redcard in terms of silliness, though it's been a couple of decades since I played that.
Also, bonus for having women's teams and leagues/cups. Only about four (maybe five, I've forgotten) cups/leagues in total, but that's just a touch less than FC 24 which has two women's tournaments and five leagues.
When I saw the "store", I was immediately all, "oh, fuck no" only to realize we're doing good ol' PS2-era stuff where you actually unlock things by playing (earn coins from games, buy random shit).
Now I need to try the other one I bought, Kopatino All-Stars Soccer. Looks wild with all the powers and gameplay modifiers and what have you.
Edit: Lol, Kopatino is basically a "cute" version of Redcard. No rules, foul the fuck out of everyone because no cards, score crazy goals. Powers can also result in some funny scenarios. Turns out you can teleport yourself with the ball directly into the opposing goal net because why the fuck not.
All that said, I can see myself getting a bit bored of these because I get the sense that they're geared heavily toward multiplayer (offline included). They do have a shit ton of stuff to do, though, even single player, so who knows. Probably best for short sessions here and there, rather than longterm.
