Technical aspects

We Are Football is a sports simulation game by German studio Winning Streak Games, published by THQ Nordic. The game allows us to take on the role of a football team manager and lead our club to world fame.

Mechanics

The basics of the gameplay are not particularly different from other games of the genre. We Are Football is based on in-depth and detailed management of your team. We will take care of finances, make deals with sponsors and investors, play on the stock market, promote our club through social media and much more. Our skills can be developed, allowing us to do our job more effectively.

Each player has unique statistics, skills and their own psychological profile. Depending on their profiles, they may get along better or worse with their teammates. If we want to be successful, we need to take care of the state of our team, send players to training and create line-ups that can work together. We can also take care of the youth section of the club, training promising athletes to put them on the pitch in the future. We Are Football also allows the player to manage women's teams.

Matches are presented mainly through text commentary, tables with listed players, a simple pitch model and player portraits. As a manager we can influence the way our team plays, impose a specific strategy and assign roles to the athletes on the pitch. Apart from taking care of our team, we can also take care of the development of the stadium and the club area. The game does not have official licenses, so there are no real clubs. We can create our own teams using the editor present in the game.

Game modes

In We Are Football we will not experience online multiplayer. We can play solo or in two people on the same computer.

Technical aspects

The graphic design of the game is quite simple and consists mainly of tables and graphs. However, during the development of the stadium and the club, the graphics transform into three dimensions, allowing the player to freely observe the results of his work.

God is a Geek: 7.5 / 10 by Chris White

We Are Football is an accessible management sim for all skill levels, and whilst it might not be the best out there, it's still a lot of fun.

PC Invasion: 6 / 10 by Kurt Perry

There are some good ideas present and it looks far more promising than most of the Football Manager clones that have come and gone.

Softpedia: 7.5 / 10 by Cosmin Vasile

The football management space needs more options and more innovation. The developers clearly try to focus on the match and the squad interactions while also offering more club-based features for those who want it. I liked the time I spent with We Are Football but it's unlikely that I will use it to play a ten-year-long Liverpool campaign anytime soon.
