Active Soccer 3 has officially left Early Access!
Today marks the full release of Active Soccer 3.
To celebrate the launch of version 1.0, the game is available with a 10% discount for the next 7 days.
When Active Soccer first entered Early Access, I already felt it was a good game and that its simcade direction had a lot of potential. However, after playing it extensively, I also felt that the bar could be raised much higher.
So I kept working on it.
For version 1.0, a significant part of the code was rewritten and refined, particularly the match engine. I worked hard to improve the game in every area until I finally reached a point where I was genuinely satisfied with how it felt on the pitch.
I know the wait for the full release has been long, but I truly believe it was worth it.
The game has now found its own strong identity. Active Soccer 3 is a true simcade football game: fast, accessible and responsive, but with enough depth to let you play real football.
Arcade freedom, without scripts
There are no rails forcing the ball towards a predetermined destination and no scripted actions deciding the outcome for you.
You choose the direction, power, height and curve of your passes and shots. Every move must be created and earned on the pitch.
Once you become familiar with the controls, you can build tiki-taka moves, launch counter-attacks, play one-twos, use a striker to hold up the ball, make overlapping runs, switch the play and create chances in many different ways.
Mistakes are also part of the game. A badly aimed pass will be misplaced, an overpowered shot can fly over the bar, and choosing the wrong option can immediately give your opponent a chance to counter.
That freedom is at the heart of Active Soccer 3.
Thank you
Developing Active Soccer 3 has been a long journey, and I am incredibly proud of the game it has become.
I want to thank everyone who bought the game during Early Access, reported problems, shared feedback, posted videos or simply kept following the project during its development.
Your support helped me improve the game and bring it to version 1.0.
Feedback is always welcome, so please continue sharing your thoughts, suggestions and any problems you may encounter.
The full release is not the end of development. You can expect further refinements, balancing changes, bug fixes and update patches as I continue improving the game after launch.
I hope you enjoy Active Soccer 3, and I hope you give its manual controls enough time to fully understand everything they allow you to do.
Active Soccer 3 version 1.0 is available now.
See you on the pitch!
