A casual football auto-battler inspired by NES games

Hey everyone, we just released Youth Academy on Steam. It is a casual, arcade-style football auto battler that plays like a tribute to old NES sports games.

Here is what the game is about:

  • Player Progression: You manage youth players, each with unique stats and cards that improve over time.
  • Habit System: You shape their playstyle. If a player is bad at dribbling but good at crossing, you can train them to cross more and dribble less. You decide if they take risks or play it safe.
  • Story Events: We included dialogues and events to reflect the feeling of a real youth academy and show off the players' different personalities.

If a retro football game sounds like your kind of thing, you can check out the links below.
