Earlier this year, the unveiling of Sloclap’s Rematch plunged me into deep reflections on the classist roots of my indifference toward football. Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road is prompting me to reconsider the idea that perhaps football has always been akin to a Dragon Quest RPG. Hypersonic penalty kicks enveloping the ball in purple flames? No one informed me that football could be this amazing. Countless years squandered, playing damn grass hockey.
Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road introduces Level-5’s exhilarating football RPG series to PC for the very first time today.
