Tsubasa+

About

Tsubasa+ blends soccer-themed role playing with location-based gameplay. You gather characters from the Captain Tsubasa anime and licensed FIFPro athletes to form a squad. Battle other players in 3v3 matches at real-world stadium locations. The game uses your phone's GPS to let you explore physical spaces while managing team builds and tactics. Single player and multiplayer modes focus on quick bouts with emphasis on player stats and formation strategy. The mix of nostalgic anime figures and real soccer stars creates a distinctive identity. Players appreciated the creative licensing combination and the way it tied local exploration to competitive play. However the game left mobile stores in late 2021 limiting new access. Those who played during its active years often highlighted the deep roster system and the novelty of mixing fictional and real athletes in the same matches.
