Rikogol

Rikogol is an arcade football game played from a top-down view, with online multiplayer through Steam. Players use two controls, move and kick, and the ball is driven by physics, including bounces off walls and shots that hit the post. The game has no player stats, dice rolls, fouls or offside. Matches can hold up to 24 people: 22 on the pitch plus a Head Coach for each side. Players can invite friends from their Steam friends list or join an open room from the match browser. Steam Relay handles connections, so no port forwarding or extra account is needed. Lobby and in-match chat are included.

Quick Match places a player in an open room, or starts a 3v3 against bots that stays open for others to join if no room is found. Training, under Versus Bots, offers an offline match with halves and a result screen. Team sizes range from 1v1 to 11v11, with a choice of stadium, score limit, time limit and Easy, Medium or Hard bot difficulty. In online rooms the host can add bots to either team or enable a setting that fills empty seats with bots, and a joining player takes over a bot’s seat, even mid-match. Rooms also allow settings for kick strength and a password. A second player can join offline on the same PC using a controller or the same keyboard, sharing one screen, or join from another PC through Steam Remote Play Together. Controller support covers menus, matches and the Head Coach seat, with Xbox, PlayStation and Switch Pro controllers.

The Head Coach role lets one player per team leave the pitch and manage from the touchline. The coach can change formation during a match, place pings such as pass, push up and drop back, and draw arrows visible only to their own team. There are four stadiums and five atmospheres: night floodlights, midday sun, golden sunset, snow and rain. Atmospheres change only the local player’s screen. Stands fill according to the number of players, and the scorer’s name appears on the goal banner, with names and shirt numbers shown on players. Other features include 65 Steam Achievements, colour-blind team palettes, a high-contrast mode, fully rebindable controls, keyboard-only menu navigation and Steam Cloud settings sync. The game supports eight languages: English, Turkish, German, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Latin American Spanish, French and Simplified Chinese. On Steam it currently has 3 user reviews.
