Inazuma Eleven Go: Shadow

A great game that repeats the same mistake of previous entries: it takes too long to appreciate its full potential, so at first it might not seem as appealing as it really is.

The first Inazuma Eleven to be launched on 3DS is also one of the best chapters of the franchise we've played so far. The new graphics-engine and the new gameplay features make GO a whole new experience that's worth buying.

Level-5 successfully overcomes our Inazuma fatigue with a cheery addition to the series that is a great hopping-on point for newcomers. Good stuff.

The clever mix of standard RPG adventure with an intriguing football-based storyline and innovative battle system - in the form of tactical stylus-controlled football matches - makes this one of the most unique games not only on 3DS, but on any system right now.

Inazuma Eleven Go, in his Light or Shadow version, reveals a good use of 3DS potential and is as one of the most relevant options in the series.

A solid début for the GO sub-series, if not a stand-out, it scores a narrow, extra time win in its quest to maintain the standards that fans of outrageous football have come to expect. Well played, Level-5.

Bad storytelling, an unfocused plot and horrible voice acting puts Inazuma Eleven GO in a bad light. And the inclusion of Fighting spirits makes the game on the pitch seem a bit unbalanced. But there’s a real incentive for recruiting and leveling new players and discovering moves and abilities. An interesting mix of football and RPG that could have been much better if executed with a bit more flair.

Los mejores personajes de toda la saga, una historia buena, mecanicas novedosas y disfrutables

Inazuma Eleven GO Sombra/Luz tiene todas las papeletas para convertirse en el Inazuma Eleven definitivo, pero esto no puede ser así porque aún nos quedan varias entregas del mismo por recibir aquí en Europa y todo fan sabe lo que hay en dichas versiones lanzadas en Japón. Cumple con su cometido y es una obra especialmente dedicada para todo fan de la serie y uno de los imprescindibles del catálogo de 3DS. Pero si eres un amante al fútbol y a los RPG no deberías de perderte esta serie ya que está ambientada para cualquier tipo de público. Tanto principiante como para los más aventurados en el género.
