Early Access Game

Get instant access and start playing; get involved with this game as it develops.

Note: This Early Access game is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Simulation football games are trying to recreate real world. We want to make Kopanito more fun than that. Kopanito is after 24 months of development and balancing. There are few directions of future development for the game, we have many ideas waiting for implementation but want to also know your opinion.

Do you have any ideas? Maybe a new super-move, or a new team (not necessarily a national one)? You need to let us know, see below how to contact us and get involved.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Early Access will end at the end of September 2016.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Many features have been completed during the Early Access period, like online multi-player, greatly improved AI (4 difficulty levels), creating custom tournaments, achievements, leaderboards and more.

What's left to improve is polishing. There are still few minor features missing and few bugs to squash. We need you to make Kopanito perfect, so please test the game and let us know what's great and what needs improvements.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable in single-player, local multi-player and online multi-player mode.

Online multi-player allows to play in four quick modes: 1vs1, 2vs2, 3vs3 and 5vs5. Creating customized matches and inviting friends is possible too.

In single-player you can play a friendly match against friends or AI (or with friends against AI). There are 16 competitions (continental cups + world cup) to complete, each one can be played with friends too (all players in one team only). AI teams are easy to beat (easy difficulty) after some practice, so it's advised to play against your friends after that until better AI will be developed.

Kopanito's match engine is well-balanced. You can pass the ball along the ground or use lobs, you can also pass on a straight line between opponents. Scoring goals can be achieved by outmaneuvering the goalkeeper, or by chip shots or precise shots over a longer distance where ball swerve is also possible. Slide tackle is also a powerful move if used precisely, allows to steal the ball, intercept passes or even score a goal (this needs some practice :)).

Included are 5 super-moves: super-shot, ball magnet, teleport, windmaker and freeze. These can be used to gain an advantage over an opponent or to aid in defending and require some precision and good timing for best results. More super-moves will be added in future too.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“There is a chance, that game's price will rise after full release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We're very open to any feedback, bug reports and feature requests, especially here on Steam. We also update and read frequently Kopanito's social profiles: Indie DB, Facebook and Twitter. You can also contact us directly at games@merixstudio.com

Great GIFs from the community



Hi all!
We want to show you some great GIFs created by the community using the in-game generator or other tools (let us know which tools are cool for this purpose!).



"Teamwork" by M416_KSA




"Long swerved shot" by AceSeven




"Long chip shot" by Catwashers




"Fighting alone!?" by FUDO




"Nope!" by Miggoh




"KB" by Caverman




"Barrilete Cósmico" by humblepac



Which one is the best? Share your thoughts in comments and rate them on their details page to encourage authors to make even better ones!

Some tips regarding GIF making
  • Kopanito creates rather too large GIFs for some social platforms. You can apply lossy compression on http://ezgif.com/optimize to greatly reduce image's weight.

  • You can pause a match at any time and generate a GIF from the last 8 seconds, so not only goals can be shared!

  • Generated GIF's resolution is 25% of game's resolution. You can press F11 to switch to windowed mode and make the game's window smaller, this way your GIFs will be smaller too (helps if making the animation is taking too long on your PC).
Have fun scoring awesome goals and making cool animations!

Hi all!

Kopanito has been updated to v0.8.1 with many bugfixes, most of them reported by you!

Full list of changes since v0.8.0
  • Added Indoor stadium and Indoor Cup to the game (see previous news).
  • Reduced possibility of players being stuck in a goal's net (thanks GamBif, Da Pappa, NarcissusLovesEcho, Lee, Frank16Gr and others).
  • Fixed too much zoom in wider resolutions, e.g. 21:9 (thanks Aleksandar).
  • Fixed goalkeeper becoming idle during practice in rare cases.
  • Fixed players running in-place when colliding with goal's net.
  • Fixed no fans on stadiums in rare cases (thanks L!V3RPL).
  • Fixed player avatars appearing on the wrong side of the screen (thanks FUDO).
  • Fixed 'Team not found' error.
  • Fixed too early stopping challenge after a tournament match causing the error "Cannot read property 'progress' of null" (thanks Mamedovic).
  • Fixed cancelling GIF generation not working (thanks FUDO).
  • Improved goalkeeper's behaviour when intercepting the ball.
  • Reduced maximum distance when searching for lobbies (only players in the same world region can be selected for a match).
  • Improved the Indoor stadium: better collisions with walls, ball is more bouncy and has reduced friction. A frozen player shouldn't go through a wall when pushed. Some minor visual tweaks.
  • Fixed extended slow-motion when freezing a player performing super-shot (thanks Servasky).
  • Fixed no slow-motion during replays (thanks FUDO).
  • Fixed unlocking condition for the Continental League, in some cases it was unlocked too early.
  • Fixed 'no texture' bug in tournaments (thanks Sunny/fash).
  • Fixed the "Cannot read property 'name' of undefined' issue with Continental League (thanks planetdestroyer).
  • Fixed framerate issues in team select phase for non-english languages (thanks Richard's_Mustache).
  • Fixed thumbnails in stadium select and ball select widgets on Mac and Linux.
  • Fixed lobby invite button (thanks MonkeyJug).
  • Fixed "g.isP2PPacketAvailable" error (thanks bkno).
What's next?
We're now focused on improving online multi-player functionality. On our TO DO list are among others:
  • Allow activating multiple controllers per client.
  • Allow to select a team in the Create Party mode (this will allow you to play against AI).
  • Restore goal replays in online matches.
  • Expand the Browse Matches screen.
  • Correct fame points calculation for online matches.
  • and more...
Thanks everyone who reported issues and gave us valuable feedback, so we could improve this game. Have fun and report more :)

About This Game

Skill-based gameplay

It may not look serious, but we guarantee, that it is. Kopanito's match engine is well-balanced. Use slide tackle to intercept passes or knock-down opponents (or even score a goal!). Pass the ball straight to your teammates (ground or air) or pass the ball between opponents. Score goals using chip shots or by swerving the ball using slow-motion shots. There are various set pieces, like corner kicks or throw-ins too, but no rules apart from that! Don’t forget, it is a fast-paced game - it might be funny and cartoonish, but it’s not that easy. Try it yourself!

Try it with your friends

There is support for up to 5 controllers (4 gamepads + keyboard). Try the game with your buddies in a friendly match in various game modes – in any desired combination including 5 vs AI game or play in cooperation through a tournament.

Crush your opponent with a super-move

If you play well-enough, you will be awarded with a super-move. Then you can pull the ball using a super-strong magnet (because why not) or teleport into a different spot on the field, activate a big windmaker to blow things out of your goal-line, perform a super-shot that knockout opponents down on the path of the ball and freeze your opponents with the freeze super-move. Oh, more crazy super-moves are coming!

AI won’t let you rest

Four different difficulty levels. The easiest one is a child's play, while the last one... you'll pull your hair out trying to beat the game. Also, there’s a practice mode if you just want to learn basic moves.

Many competitions to complete and teams to unlock

We focus on diversity. Complete 16 tournaments and leagues in different parts of the world with regional national teams. A tournament consist of a group stage and knockout stage. In a league we apply a round-robin system. Depending on the type of event, there can be 12, 16, 24 or more teams competing. You can choose from 100+ national teams (even the most exotic ones) from all over the world and play on 7 stadiums.

Create your own tournament

Right now you are able to create your own Kopanito's tournament (league, knockout and league + knockout). You decide about stadium, ball and number of teams. You are the Boss here!

Goal replays and GIF generator

Check out your awesome goal or an incredible action! Save them to the GIF's and share with your friends on a different the social media channels.

Modders are welcome

We've opened stadiums, balls and teams for modding. You can add a new stadium or ball by just editing one of the built-in ones. Steam Workshop support coming soon!

The game is so fun for casual play. Real passing controls makes it competitive and powerups add exitement. Best thing is I can enjoy football with my friends on couch and dont need a powerful system, supports upto 5 players. There is no foul or offside rule, no referee, just kick off !
Looking forward to see more powerups and skid kick balance in game

Saw this on sale and bought it on impulse as I didn't have any kind of football game in my collection. What followed was a few hrs of fun for a couple of pounds spent.

Don't expect propper football, this isn't the game for that... What it is a funny and yet simple to master football game that can be played by up to 5 people at the same time... either on the same team (each player controls a single on screen player) or against each other on opposite teams. The 4 basic super powers add an element of fun and frustration to the game... having the ball snatched away from you as you line up your shot by the magnet power for example, or freezing the defense/keeper to allow you to stroll the ball over the line... It's all good fun that can and will have you and your friends screaming and cursing at each other in some good natured rivalry.

It's definitely worth a couple of pounds... even if only played on game nights with friends.

My bro and I really loved the couch co-op experience for this game. Resulted in a lot of screaming and some solid high fives.


Pros
-Fast-paced intense arcade sports game play.
-Lots of tournaments and unlockable teams.
-Fun couch co-op for up to 5 players.

Cons
-I have an error where the match will crash if my controller disconnects for some reason, or you'll no longer able to rejoin if the controller disconnects.
-I have yet to find any online matches, although I've only tried a few times.

This is the closest I've come to finding something like Nintendo World Cup/Nekketsu High School Dodgeball Club: Soccer on the PC.

I generally don't buy early access games, but this game was on sale for $3.59 and is scheduled to exit early access in July 2016. Single player and local multiplayer with controller and keyboard support are implemented, and generally work well. XBox 360/XBox One controllers should work out of the box. Other controllers should work through X360CE, and oddly enough, my DualShock 2 through a USB adaptor worked, though I did have to remap the buttons.

The downside is that there is no network multiplayer support - only local multiplayer support. The developers have stated that they're working on adding the support before the game exits early access, and I hope that they do because this game is seriously fun.

I wouldn't suggest buying this game for full price right now, at least until it exits early access. Pick it up while it's on sale and have a grand old time re-living working through Nintendo World Cup at the age of 8!

This is the product of what would happen if the fast-paced and thunderbolt world of Super Mario Strikers met the charming and intense world of Sensible Soccer. Sprinkle some unforgettable scenes from Shaolin Soccer and you have Kopanito All-Stars Soccer.

Impressions
+ I have never had so much fun slide tackling in to opponents. Traditional grassroot rules do not apply, so get out there and break those legs!
+ Gameplay is solid and fully responsive between keyboard and gamepad. There is a learning curve involved, but once you discover the importance of team work, dribbling and tackling, everything feels a lot friendlier.
+ Visually a very charming game. The cartoony art direction is certainly a good call and works well. Player animations are solid. Goal celebrations are... ahem... animated.
+ Not a lot to offer in terms of sound effects and soundtrack, but the current offering delivers to a satisfactory standard.
+ A large assortment of competitions to unlock and play through including custom tournaments, practice and friendly matches.
+ Powers can be huge game changers and injects new life to the sport. There are four powers in total with individual strengths and weaknesses.
+ Support for up to four additional local players. Grab your friend(s) and charge through various tournaments as a team.
+ Full keyboard + mouse and gamepad support. Keys can be configured to your heart’s content.
+ The greater the goal difference, the more resilient and alert the AI becomes to your tackles and dribbles. Something I have not seen before, but it's a mechanic which works extremely well in an attempt to avoid further catastrophes.
+ Leaderboard and fame points work really well side by side. Adds a whole different layer of depth for players to continue playing and reach the Platinum League.
+ 225 achievements and in-game trophies. That’s 225 individual pieces of effort and excruciating dedication to unlock.
+ Match challenges offer objectives for players in search of small modifiers (ie. avoid using powers, score three goals in 30 seconds, and so on). You gain fame points in return for your efforts.
+ Friendly user interface with all the standard options you would expect from a PC title.
+ Online multiplayer is planned for release with the final version of the game.

Early access consideration and dev feedback
- A friendly warning: The AI will torture you during your first few sessions/hours until you figure out how everything works. You may even grow suspicious of cheating AI. I most certainly did. The important thing is to try and play as much as you can to get to grips with the gameplay.
- Slight overkill with AI catch up speed compared to player catch up. I don't feel like the sprint button does anything when chasing the AI.
- The need for more power ups or other methods of scoring (ie. volley or header) is great.
- There is an audio balancing issue. Almost all audio during play comes through the right speaker/headphone. I have tried using two perfectly functional headsets and a speaker to cancel any malfunctions on my end.
- Only international teams are playable. It would be great to be able to play in a league filled with fictional teams/players, just to shrug off the feeling of international play. Pro Evolution Soccer has done this for many years with great success (ie. North London: Arsenal; Hampshire Red: Southampton; Merseyside Blue: Everton).
- It would be an even greater feature to allow players the freedom to create their own teams, team names, players and kits from pre-made designs, then to incorporate this team to a randomly generated and fictional league.

Review

If you don't want to worry about team formation, tatics and you want to play quick and short soccer games, this game was made for you.

Kopanito is a soccer game on Early Access that already has a lot of content:
-16 tournaments and cups to play, but you can also create your own tournament.
-100+ teams from all over the world.
-4 AI difficulty levels
-Super-moves
-Achievements
-Leaderboards
-Controller support

It's an extremely simple soccer game. You pick your team (5 players + 1 goal keeper) and you can play a friendly match or try to win a tournament or cup.
There are no fouls, no referees, no team formation, no tatics, no stamina.
The game has a smooth gameplay, you can tackle as much as you want, but that doesn't mean you're going to easily steal the ball.
When you press and hold the kick button the game slows down and you can change the ball direction, making the goal keeper's life difficult.
The super-moves are a nice addition to the game: you can freeze your opponent, you can use a magnet to pull the ball, you can teleport to another region of the field, you can perform a super shot or use a windmaker to blow the ball away from your goal.
You can play locally with your friends: up to 5 local players, using gamepads and a keyboard.
In the beginning you can play just one tournament. You need to win it on the Beginner level to unlock another tournament and so on.
Even though the game has 100+ teams you can pick just a few in the beginning and you need to unlock the other teams.

Rating:

9/10

Pros:
  1. Cartoony and cute graphics.
  2. Simple gameplay.
  3. Nice tutorial.
  4. Achievements.
  5. Short games.
  6. Fast pace.
  7. You can generate GIF from your goals.

Cons:
  1. The team supporters are too quiet.
  2. The AI difficult needs balancing. From the Beginner to the Amateur level it gets way too difficult. The devs are already working on it.
  3. The ball rebounds needs improvement. It's hard control your player.
  4. Lack of multiplayer online, but the devs are already working on it.

The super powers aren't frequent enough or substantial enough to make the game more interesting than a regular soccer game. There should also be more variety of attacking other players if there is no referee.
