About the Game
Strikers Club is a free-to-play, physics-driven multiplayer football simulation playable on keyboard or controller. You can't get away with button-mashing, every second and every move counts.
Dribble to move around the field, maintain control over your direction and speed, outplay opponents and set up shots, or pass to teammates to run a play. Use the camera to aim your shots, and chain skill moves to dodge defenders with flair. Prefer to anchor the back? Step into goalie mode and unlock a dedicated set of mechanics for keeping the goal line clear.
Key features
Realistic Football Match Flow: Throw-ins, corner kicks, penalties, offside, fouls, and everything else you'd expect from a real football match
