Dino Dinis's Kick Off Revival is clearly a title designed to draw in fans of the original series and gameplay styles. Its downfall is more in its lack of effort in attracting new players and relying on the "git gud" philosophy of investing a lot of time for what is ultimately little payoff. Fans of the series will love the new audio and visuals, but anyone else should seriously consider any other soccer simulation game before this.

Dino Dini’s Kick Off Revival – Steam Edition:
\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In 1989 the original Kick Off was released, one year before the World cup which was held in Italy. It was a frantic year and just about everybody had become experts in football - who’s going to win and why, etcetera and etcetera. Well, we didn’t want a bar of that! My friends and I were (eight in total) in a world cup tournament every Saturday in front of my old Atari St. As I write this I can see ourselves screaming in my small bedroom. So when I saw this game I decided it was time to revive my old skills by giving Dino Dini’s Kick Off Revival a go!

Dino Dini’s Kick Off Revival is an arcade Football game, but if you are into Football management, this game will probably not be for you.

Apart from the fun memories this game brought back, it’s bloody hard to master! The reason behind it is that you have one button mechanism for shoots, passes, headers and to those long sliding tackles which create interesting patterns when you reach half time and totally crazy at the end of the match. The other hard aspect to get used to is the analogue stick on your gamepad (by the way, you must have a gamepad to play this game); you’ll have to learn not to push the stick all the way in the direction you want your player to go on the field - you’ll lose the ball every time. By mastering this, you’ll be able to execute slow dribbles which will help your team greatly. I personally recommend that any old or new players to go through all the tutorials (it will help you a bit) and practice well before playing your first game. Otherwise, your national team might receive the thumper of a life time by an unknown team. I can’t believe Gibraltar flogged France in a friendly match! I can hear people saying that the French national team is not what it used to be, but THAT bad? - I don’t think so! This game is all about developing your skills in order to win a match. I must say, that I would have liked to have a better layout in regards to the practice session, as it is a bit confusing right now.

The gameplay is very fast and challenging even on the amateur difficulty. Your players can be booked or sent off if a tackle is deemed too aggressive, but the offside rules don’t seem to be implemented. In terms of free kicks, corners and penalties it comes down to how well you use the stick and the one button mechanism.

In this current build, you can play a friendly match, the European Cup and an online game and be part of the leader board. Personally, I didn’t experience an online game at this stage which is all to do with the time zone (that’s my guess).

Graphically, it’s a big improvement from the 8bits graphics but it could have been better. You must own a Gamepad to be able to play this game. As I mentioned above, this game isn’t going to be easy to master and if you manage to find yourself in front of the net, make it count! Also, we need more content, such as leagues, more cups, and maybe polishing the stadium up a bit.

Positives:
\n~~~~~~~

Fun, fast and challenging gameplay
Single and online modes
Achievements

Negatives:
\n~~~~~~~~

Requires a steady bit of practice
Needs more content
No trading cards

If you are looking for a challenging Football arcade game, this one is for you!

Simply put its difficult to master however the satisfacation you get when it all comes together and ends in that goal is a feeling that no other football game has created for me. Many times i have wanted to throw my controller in frustration and many other times i have punched the air in celebration when a well crafted move has come off. The great thing about this game is that everything you do whether its a pass, dribble, tackle or goal is a creation of your own idea. You want to play long ball... you can... want to play the passing game... you can... want to run past four or five players like ronaldo... you can... or maybe slice open a whole team with one perfect through ball... you can! It takes dedication to be that good and the game does have a learning curve. That is what makes this game great. Make no mistake this game doesn't hold your hand and playing the best players will feel like a lesson in itself however thats the challenge, be at one with the controller and allow your instinct to guide you. One analogue stick and one button pretty much does it all and that is all you need... simple right? Play it and find out what your really missing. The most fun i've had with a football game in years!","html":"

Kick Off Revival has become my go to game of choice when it comes to fun and competitive gameplay. Simply put its difficult to master however the satisfacation you get when it all comes together and ends in that goal is a feeling that no other football game has created for me. Many times i have wanted to throw my controller in frustration and many other times i have punched the air in celebration when a well crafted move has come off. The great thing about this game is that everything you do whether its a pass, dribble, tackle or goal is a creation of your own idea. You want to play long ball... you can... want to play the passing game... you can... want to run past four or five players like ronaldo... you can... or maybe slice open a whole team with one perfect through ball... you can! It takes dedication to be that good and the game does have a learning curve. That is what makes this game great. Make no mistake this game doesn't hold your hand and playing the best players will feel like a lesson in itself however thats the challenge, be at one with the controller and allow your instinct to guide you. One analogue stick and one button pretty much does it all and that is all you need... simple right? Play it and find out what your really missing. The most fun i've had with a football game in years!

\nThis means the ball does not stick to your player.
\nPassing direction and power is not assisted
\nYou can run in any direction
\nHeight of kicks and shots is player controlled.
\nAll of this manual control mean that practice is needed to gain an understanding of how to use it efficiently.
\nBut once you do, the fun really begins.
\nYou start to pass the ball around your opponent, crossing from the wing and heading the ball home, or perhaps you intercept a clearance outside the box and fire a topspin shot in to the top corner?
\nLow shots, high shots, curling shots, lobs - all are ppossibe once you learn the finesse required to control the analog stick.

And this is the key difference from previous versions of Kick Off, and where I believe the issues arise for Kick Off players. Running speed, direction and shot/pass power are all controlled with the single analog stick. This takes time, patience and practice.

Yes, game modes are limited but the developer is hoping to add features over time.
\nThis game was made with local and online multiplayer in mind. Play another opponent and the game really does come in to it's own. Enjoy playing someone at your level or wonder how that player who seems so much better than you does that crazy shot and try to figure it out... or ways to stop them.

For me this has been the main pull of the game, online multiplayer and competing with players that seem almost god-like on the pitch.

This game is hard, there is no doubt about it. Hard to master, hard to get into. You can't pick up the controller and start scoring goals. Instead you need to complete the tutorials, you need to learn.

But by George is it rewarding! You will never stop learning, never stop being rewarded. This game is outstanding!
