Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters
The next episode of Tsubasa’s riveting adventure is here! Enjoy the thrill of spectacular soccer actions with 110 playable characters and new sensational super moves. CAPTAIN TSUBASA 2: WOLRD FIGHTERS invites fans to follow their journey to victory by creating their own character and joining Tsubasa on his quest. Players will forge new friendships, fight new rivals, and bring the trophy back home. Action on the field has been significantly enhanced for this new release. New super moves increase the intensity of every part of the game, allowing players to dominate the field when they pass, dribble, tackle or block with their own special techniques. Even blocking goal shots becomes more tactical with a new system that pits goalkeeper against shooter, letting both players experience and counter jaw dropping super shots and blocks from characters of the original series.

- Gameplay fluidissimo e grafica top. Adrenalina pura dall'inizio alla fine! È bellissimo
- This game is awesome! The animations and the shots are pretty well done. The gameplay does take some getting used to as it is different from the first game but it is a blast once you know what you are doing. The story can be a burden to get through, but it is worth it to have a wide variety of teams to play with. As someone who loved the first one, it does differ, but once you accept that, you can enjoy it for what it is, a fun, action-packed, and fast-paced soccer game!
- The game is amazing if you are looking for a soccer game with superpowers. Excellent to play with your friends / online. The game storyline is amazing and very long. A lot of teams to choose and the CaC customization is really good. Yes doesn't have Dream Team but those features can be updated later.
Criticism
- Captain Tsubasa II: World Fighters es un juego del montón que funciona principalmente por el cariño a la saga. Su mayor virtud está en recrear los partidos, personajes y movimientos especiales de Captain Tsubasa. Las cinemáticas de las técnicas son puro fanservice y nostalgia, y es sin duda donde mejor funciona el juego. La historia ofrece justo lo esperable: torneo de selecciones, diálogos entre compañeros y rivales y muchos momentos reconocibles para los fans. Jugablemente, tras superar las primeras partidas y aprender los timings, se vuelve extremadamente fácil. Los retos opcionales añaden algo de dificultad, aunque algunos terminan siendo más tediosos que interesantes. El gran problema son los tiempos de carga durante los partidos. Los numerosos eventos y escenas predefinidas obligan a pasar constantemente por cargas demasiado largas, hasta el punto de romper por completo el ritmo. Me gusta tanto Captain Tsubasa que incluso me he sacado el platino, pero es difícil recomendarlo fuera de los
- Game is so different from RONC, it feels more like a fighting game rather than a soccer game.
- Bandai Namco didn’t surprise me at all. It’s a mistake to expect a REAL GAME from them. You should have known better given that they made the game with UE5. The optimization is terrible. They’re asking for system requirements as if this were a next-gen AAA game. The gameplay is already way too clunky. While in RoNC you could take a shot after just two dribbles with ease, now you have to run around like a laborer. The goalkeeper controls didn’t work for me at all—let me put it that way. Maybe they’ll work for you. Just be aware of this when you play. The story is complete nonsense anyway. Don’t expect anything supernatural. The narrative is like DDLC—you’re just reading text like a fool. More than half of what they call “new shots and abilities” are actually taken from the old game. As for mods, they’ve been severely cut back. Don’t expect the freedom you had in RoNC...

What critics said
Praise
- Six years after Rise of New Champions, we were looking ahead to Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters as a game that promised to elevate a formula full of good intentions. Unfortunately, Tamsoft tries to reinvent this formula a bit too hastily to deliver a fully polished gameplay experience. While the fan service in the story is a delight, the exhilarating nature of the matches, which we love so much in the manga and anime, is missing. The game has enough to satisfy even the most die-hard fans, but it will need to go back to the drawing board to deliver an experience worthy of the legend.
- Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters can be pretty fun (albeit a bit repetitive) when you’re actually on the pitch, but it keeps getting in its own way with an excessive focus on a poorly written story, while its lack of content doesn’t help either.
- Putting aside pacing issues in story mode and some gameplay problems, Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters offers a good and fun arcade football game with the most detailed Tsubasa lore yet.
Criticism
- Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters fully embraces the series’ shōnen nature, turning football into a spectacular sequence of duels, combos, and special moves. However, technical inconsistencies, weak AI, low difficulty, limited modes, and a stripped-back online offering make it a missed opportunity that only die-hard fans of Takahashi’s work are likely to fully enjoy.
