Free-to-play. Keisuke Honda appointed as an ambassador

The "Sakatsuki" series is a management and development simulation in which a player who becomes the owner of a soccer club manages the team, manages facilities and personnel, and develops players. The app game "Let's Build a Professional Soccer Club: Road to World" released in 2018 had stopped development, but the latest title has finally been unveiled.

The ambassador will be Keisuke Honda, who appeared as "Keisuke Kida" in past works. It seems that he will appear in the game as "Keisuke Honda" as a player and training card.

In addition, it was found that the adult soccer club "EDO ALL UNITED" with the concept of "real saka tsuki with the participation of all employees", which Mr. Honda was a founder, is also involved as a sponsor.

At the origin of Sakatsuki. Game overview released

The latest title, which has evolved to keep up with the times while inheriting the strategic nature of developing young players and managing the club, is available in two types: Sakatsuki mode and Dream Team mode. The squeaky mode is designed in the same style as previous home console titles, so fans can enjoy a familiar experience.

You can watch the game in 3D, but you can also progress on a simple screen.

In the other Dream Team mode, you can play against other owners with the team and players you created in the Crazy mode. In addition to the owner, there is also end content that allows you to play against the CPU and progress.

Players in Dream Team mode can also be scouted in the gacha. Players scouted in this gacha can be recruited into the club in Sakatsuki mode, but there is a limit of two players in one season. In addition, there is no gacha element in the sakatsuki mode.

The indispensable element of the Sakatsuki mode, "creation of an original team", is also perfectly installed. Of course, you can also start with a licensing team.

In addition to the home and club names, there are also uniform edits that can be made in great detail. The edit parts of the uniform are the highest level in the series.

In addition to the general training, there are special training sessions that can specialize and develop one player. By attaching a support card to the player you want to develop, you can inherit the stats and skills of that player.

In addition, when it comes to scouting players, in addition to scouting from the list, it is also possible to obtain players by offer. Offers need to be negotiated, and if you choose the wrong option, you can fail.

Speaking of "Sakatsuki", the slightly unique drama scene is also impressive. Even in this work, there seems to be plenty of events from giggles to serious events.

In the formation that is important in the game, there is a system such as formation combos. This is the app game "Let's create a professional soccer club! It's familiar from Road to World, and it's a system that's close to team colors for home titles. It is said that when the players' playing styles and formations mesh, they can greatly increase their strength.

The game proceeds automatically, but as a coach, you can also control tactics, such as instructing players to move their positions to an advantageous position.

By the way, regarding the management part, an investment menu is prepared in this work. It seems that the management can proceed well, such as being able to dispatch players as volunteers, which leads to an increase in the number of supporters.
