INAZUMA ELEVEN Victory Road demo is tearing up the Steam charts

As a long-time fan of anime and football video games, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the release of INAZUMA ELEVEN: Victory Road. The genre is saturated with popular franchises that dominate the sports scene, but this unique IP stands out for its charming anime aesthetic and innovative gameplay mechanics.


In the realm of sports video games, it can be challenging for new, unique IPs to make an impact due to the popularity and dominance of franchises such as FIFA, Madden, and NBA 2K, which have built-espoilsons in their respective sports genres. However, every so often, a game with an unusual aesthetic, like anime, manages to captivate audiences, leaving them eager to join in the action. INAZUMA ELEVEN: Victory Road is the latest instance of this trend. Players are rushing to consoles and Steam to experience the demo for this series’ newest installment.

If you’re new to the subject, Inazuma Eleven is a popular football video game franchise developed by LEVEL-5 since 2008. The first game was released on Nintendo DS, but it didn’t come to the US until 2014. Although the series has been successful in Japan for over a decade, only two games have been made available in the US. Therefore, there’s much excitement surrounding “Victory Road,” which is the second of those two titles released in the US.

Starting July 18, you can test out the demo for INAZUMA ELEVEN: Victory Road. Although some planned features like Chronicle Mode and accessing Victory Road from the Main Menu aren’t accessible yet, the captivating Story Mode is a great introduction. If you decide to explore the demo on Steam, it suggests using a controller for an enhanced experience, so consider having one ready.

As someone who’s spent countless hours immersed in the world of mobile gaming, I can’t help but be drawn to the visually appealing ‘Victory Road.’ However, I must caution that beneath its adorable anime exterior lies a game that demands strategic thinking and quick reflexes on the football field.

In Story Mode, you’ll have the opportunity to familiarize yourself with the game’s characters and the plot. If you’re a fan of anime, the animated interludes will surely captivate you. In this mode, you’ll step into the role of Destin, a shy schoolboy who dislikes football for unknown reasons and just wants to begin the new academic year without any disturbances.

As a big fan of this game, I can tell you that the experience begins with a familiar feel of a daily life anime simulation. You follow Destin as he settles into his new school and socializes with his classmates. Interactions vary from amusingly declining an invitation to join the school’s “muscle club,” to trying to evade Cedric, who insists on showing you around town.

In “Chronicle Mode,” an incredible number of 4,500 characters are up for grabs for players to amass. Based on a popular Reddit thread about voting, this feature seems set to significantly draw players in due to its impressive size.

As a long-time football gaming enthusiast and anime lover, I must admit that this newly released video game has truly captured my attention. The unique spin on the football genre is both refreshing and intriguing, leaving me eager to explore its features. Furthermore, the compelling anime aesthetic is not only visually appealing but also adds an element of excitement and immersion that I haven’t experienced in a long time.
