I really hope this review reahces the creator. It's a good game, one night I got obsessed with roleplaying as a referee and this did the trick! That being said, it does end up being repetitive after the first couple of hours. Would be great if more variety of actions were added. Also, my biggest concern is, there is no advantage mechanic. Team A has the ball and is about to score, some player from team B commits a foul on the other side of the pitch, and if I ignore it to concede advantage, it penalizes me. Hope it can be fixed. Would recommend!
Football Referee Simulator is a game that is fun for about 2 hours, but then gets really repetitive. If you want to finish the story mode ("Syndicate"), you have to keep going and have to keep on reacting to the same prompts over and over again. You as the referee have to decide which cards you give the players for fouls and who gets the ball afterwards. You have to decide how much time will be added on after every half. And you can talk to the players to calm them down or stir them up. As I said: it's entertaining for a short time, but the fouls are always the same and once you found out what punishments the game wants you to give for which foul, you don't even have to read the full texts anymore, just a key word is enough. There is also some private life elements in this, so you can buy stuff from the money you earn and invest in stocks or your own company, but that's highly unrealistic. As a second division referee, I became a billionaire with my own yacht, private jet, and island. For 70 Cents (69 to be precise), you can still get this and get your 120 minutes of fun.
A cool little game that will keep you occupied for hours. Especially with that price is a steal. I personally don't agree with the use of AI images although I get that a game developer wont have the money to pay someone or the knowledge to create them himself. Cool game tho!
