FIFA Heroes

FIFA Heroes is a soccer game with an official FIFA license, in which instead of playing 90-minute matches (or 10 in its usual video game version), you can play quick matches of just two minutes between teams of only five players. In fact, this game is very reminiscent of the classic FIFA Street and other similar titles.

The first thing is learning how to play

Although it's tempting to skip the game's tutorial, the truth is that FIFA Heroes's tutorial is very helpful. After a short tutorial of less than three minutes, you will know how to perform normal passes and through balls. And more importantly: you will know how to aim your shots at the goal. By pressing the shoot button, you can simply kick the ball, but if you want to fire it into the top corner, you will have to hold the button for a few seconds and aim.

Two-minute matches full of excitement

The matches in FIFA Heroes have a duration of 120 seconds. Fortunately, the field is relatively small and the teams consist of only five players. So, despite such a short duration, matches usually end with a good amount of goals. It also helps that there are no rules. There are no offsides, no throw-ins, and not even fouls. Anything goes as you try to score a goal. You will even be able to perform special shots and tackles.

My thoughts on FIFA Heroes

FIFA Heroes is an incredibly fun arcade soccer game that reminds me a lot of FIFA Street or even the great Mario Strikers. Furthermore, although trying to dribble past every opponent and score a goal is a viable strategy, this game also allows you to execute elaborate plays. On more than one occasion, I managed to run down the sideline, cross the ball into the box, and score a header into an empty net. In other words, this game allows you to play however you want.

The best and the worst of FIFA Heroes

• What I like most about FIFA Heroes is its presentation. Making plays is very fun, and scoring goals is relatively easy. For that reason, matches usually end with more than half a dozen goals scored.

• What I like least about FIFA Heroes is its limited variety of stadiums. In theory, there are several different locations, but in all three matches I played, I always got the same one.

A soccer arcade game for all ages

Download FIFA Heroes's APK if you like soccer games or, more specifically, straightforward and fun soccer games that move away from traditional simulators. This game also has beautiful visuals, with highly detailed character models and some famous players who look remarkably like themselves.
