(Note: My review is on the non-VR portion of the game.)
As someone who grew up playing Nintendo World Cup, this game caught my eye while
browsing through Steam games. I'm a big fan of sports games and especially ones
that use retro graphics. But man was I disappointed with Worldy Cup.
Worldy Cup comes with two game modes. Retro and Modern. I really don't have much
to say about the modern game mode. It's a below average football game that
didn't have much to offer. It's pretty much the bare minimum of a football game.
The Retro game mode on the other hand... The opposing team always had the same
kits as I did making it harder to differentiate, some power-ups are really
overpowered and at times the difficulty was unfair when the opposing team scored
non power-up goals from their own side of the pitch. The Modern mode was way too
easy while the retro mode was unfair at times.
TL;DR My biggest issue with this game is that it feels very unfinished in a lot
of ways, could've really needed some polishing. It's sad because I feel like
Worldy Cup's Retro mode could've been something amazing. It just ends up
disappointing you and not worth your time. Good idea, bad execution.
Dust off your old copy of Nintendo World Cup and play it.
Skip Worldy Cup.

Such a cool idea! I loved World Cup Soccer on the NES!
There´s still a lot to do... but the direction is good.
I really don´t need the semi-real styles.
So, I hope the devs focus and flesh out the fun factor!

Firstly the games dead and the developer hasn't updated the game since late 2017
so unlikely he will finish it. I played without VR and there really isn't
anything to this game. It's a over priced abandoned soccer game.

I never write reviews for games, but this is an awesome party game. For the
price, this game is a steal. I just hope that the developers keep the updates
coming because I wish we could choose the teams we wish to be on beforehand and
get more game customizability into the future. Keep up the good work devs! :D
P.S. If we could get a top down view option in the future, that would be
awesome!

It's a fun silly little romp around what it might look like to go inside an old
nintendo game and watch the players in 3d. I think it plays fair for being what
it is and it has some pretty hilarious moments ensue, worth the few dollars it
costs if you are nostalgic about nes soccer.

If you liked nintendos world cup than you will love this game.
Fun even if that was way before your time also. Nice gameplay, multiplayer,
nostalgia and the sound effects are bring back memories.

Update--can confirm now that it works with Oculus Rift CV1. Now it's what it
should be. Simple and fun!
Though be careful posting negative things about this game--the developer will
contact you and tell you that you're doing it wrong.
Original Post: Fun simple game on a tv screen.
Does NOT work with Oculus, as of July 13th, 2017. You get audio, but nothing but
squiggly circles everywhere you look. On the TV screen, it's there.
Oh well--maybe it'll get patched. The idea and the simplicity of the game has
potential.

First of all I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed even though it's in early
access. This game feels more like an alpha version!
But as I bought it and I love Nintendo World Cup I'm gonna keep it and try it
from time to time after bigger updates and of course also update my review.
Additionally I have to say that I didn't try the VR part of the game!
+
* funny gameplay
-
* overly sensitive controls in the menu
* glitchy gameplay
* no kickoffs, instead just goal kicks
* need to change players manually if a computer controlled player of my team
gets the ball
* can't change controls, so I have to play with the preset, which is FIFA-like
and I'm used to the defaults of PES
* controls are shown all the time and you can't get rid of them
* no options menu during the game, just before the game
* sometimes teams with similar jerseys play against each other
EDIT1:
The dev added me and he's a really nice guy and I really believe in this game!
And, as I mentioned above, I'll test the game again at the next update! :)
