SOCCER Kicks - Stars Strike for iPhone

Arcade football striking game

SOCCER Kicks - Stars Strike is a free sports tile made by Inlogic Sports. It's an arcade-style soccer game wherein players take on the role of a striker who faces a goalie in penalty shot gameplay. Featuring swipe-based controls, they will need to land a goal as best they can.

Compared to games like Dream League Soccer or FIFA 23, SOCCER Kicks - Stars Strike focuses on a specific aspect of the sport, namely penalty shots. It makes for a great option for a pick-up-and-play type of game that fans can enjoy wherever they are while on the go.

As impressive as it is to watch players dribble and pass the ball with such finesse and precision, there's nothing quite like seeing a striker land a low-traveling or steep-angle corner kick to score a goal. That's the reason why football games have produced sub-genre of sorts that focus on this particular aspect of the sport, and SOCCER Kicks - Stars Strike is a prime example.

SOCCER Kicks - Stars Strike features two modes, namely Target, wherein you need to aim for specific spots on the net, and Free Kick, in which you can score any way you want. Train your players and equip items to improve their skills and attributes. There are plenty of ways to acquire more gear via the Lucky Wheel or Football Shop.

There are also unique kits that you can collect to change the look of your players' uniforms. Once you've settled on your ideal team, you can then test your skills and face other real players in online multiplayer matches. However, the experience is less than ideal, particularly in this mode, with frequent crashes and connection issues. They need to be addressed as soon as possible.

Hopefully, its issues are fixed soon.
