WTMG's Fernando da Costa: "Soccer Story has an idea worth fleshing out but is let down by appalling stability. The gameplay loop has fun moments, but unintuitive buttons fight against that, keeping it from excelling. The football notion has me smitten, and I felt nostalgic for my childhood due to a specific quest with goal lines constructed by adjacent objects. The caveat here is that it desperately needs tweaks and reworked controls"

The Apple Cup is the Soccer Story equivalent of the F.A cup. All the greatest teams from across the land have a chance at glory.
Games in the genre of sports and RPG rarely crossover, however, Panic Barn aims to smash through that barrier with Soccer Story. With its wonderful premise and pixel art style, will this be a stunning strike or a shocking shot?
