How it plays
Soccer Skills 2: World Cup is the sequel to Radical Play's Soccer Skills World Cup. You choose a national team and play through a knockout tournament that, in Poki's description, runs from the quarter-finals to the final.
Matches are quick, and the controls reduce football to one gesture. You press and hold to aim, then release to pass or shoot. The same gesture covers passing along the ground, crossing and taking a shot at goal.
Set pieces are part of the game. Poki mentions throw-ins, corners, fouls and penalties, so a match is more than open play: a corner or a penalty can decide a close game.
Poki describes the game as single-player or multiplayer with a friend online. The tournament structure gives each session a clear aim: win the next match and move one round closer to the final.
Controls
Five things to try early
Pass before you shoot. A short pass that opens an angle is usually better than a long shot through defenders.
Take a moment on corners and penalties; they are slower than open play, so there is time to aim precisely.
Watch how far a light press sends the ball, then build from that instead of always holding for maximum power.
Pick a team you enjoy playing with. The tournament takes several matches, and you will spend a while with them.
If a match slips away, notice whether goals came from set pieces or open play, and adjust how carefully you defend them.
Who it suits, and what to weigh
It suits football fans who want a complete match in a few minutes, and younger players who find full football games too complex. Touch controls make it comfortable on a phone.
The one-gesture control scheme is simple, so players looking for detailed tactics may find it limited.
A full tournament takes several matches, which is longer than most games on this site.
