'FIFA Rivals' Review: Should You Play This NFT Soccer Game?
Mythical Games launched the blockchain mobile soccer game FIFA Rivals, targeting a larger audience than its previous title, NFL Rivals. The game allows players to build squads and compete online, resembling EA FC's Ultimate Team mode. Players can level up cards and mint them as NFTs on the Mythos Chain. Gameplay involves turn-based mechanics where players swipe to control actions, but it suffers from repetitiveness and lacks the variety found in Score! Hero. A "super ability" feature simplifies scoring, leading to frustrations with balance and gameplay. Players can face significant advantages from those who spend money on NFTs, with high prices for top players. While FIFA Rivals offers an enjoyable pack grind, it struggles to maintain long-term engagement. Improvements are needed for sustained player interest.
