Rematch: All the key details on the 5v5 football game from the masterminds behind Sifu

Rematch screen - two kneeling soccer players celebrating a goal as other teammates run in behind them.

Sloclap is known for creating the Kung-Fu brawler Absolver, which was then followed up by a partnership with Kelper Interactive for another Kung-Fu brawler, Sifu. So, as you would expect, the next game from the studio is an online multiplayer five-a-side football showdown (that being real football, not whatever the Yanks play), called Rematch—Fifu was right there.

Now, being the kid who was bad at sports (and thus always put in goals) but loved watching wrestling and kung fu movies, this felt like a bit of a betrayal. But Sloclap’s signature style and heaping helping of arcadey gameplay have me following a footy game with an interest I haven't had since Mario Strikers Charged launched for the Wii back in 2007. Not the Switch sequel, though; the less said about that one, the better.
