Sloclap’s Exciting New Venture: A Look at Rematch
From Martial Arts to Soccer
French game development studio Sloclap gained recognition with its dynamic titles, Absolver and Sifu, renowned for their striking visuals and fluid animations. As a surprising pivot, the studio’s upcoming project is a 5v5 arcade-style soccer video game titled Rematch, scheduled for release next summer.
Expanding Their Creative Horizon
At first glance, a soccer game seems like an unusual direction for Sloclap. However, the developers assert that Rematch aligns perfectly with their commitment to crafting demanding action games characterized by artistic flair.
Unique Gameplay Mechanics
In this engaging title, each player takes control of a singular character—goalkeepers included—leading to swift transitions between offensive and defensive roles. Unlike traditional soccer games that offer an expansive full-pitch view, Rematch employs a third-person perspective reminiscent of the fast pace found in Rocket League or career modes in FIFA/EA Sports FC.
Skill Over Stats
One distinguishing aspect of Rematch is its emphasis on player skill rather than relying on characters with inflated stats akin to those seen in FC Ultimate Team. Success hinges on individual gameplay prowess instead of merely investing points into shooting or dribbling attributes.
Fast-Paced Action Awaits
Dedicated to fostering exhilarating gameplay experiences, Sloclap has designed Rematch without traditional penalties such as fouls or offsides. The ball remains in play thanks to boundary walls akin to those found in Rocket League. Players can utilize these features creatively—bouncing the ball off walls strategically may set up opportunities for exciting-new-5v5-first-person-tactical-shooter/” title=”Fortnite Evolves: Dive into Ballistic, the Exciting New 5v5 First-Person Tactical Shooter!”>teammates.
Positioning and Tactical Depth
According to Pierre Tarno, the creative director at Sloclap, understanding spatial positioning is key: “Soccer involves being present at critical moments while executing strategies flawlessly.” This sense of strategic depth will be crucial within the context of gameplay dynamics offered by Rematch.
Innovating Goalkeeping Roles
Goalkeepers are not merely passive players; they can venture beyond their penalty area assuming roles similar to that of Manuel Neuer—a skilled sweeper keeper capable of thwarting counterattacks when willing to take calculated risks.
Enhancing Teamwork Through Communication
While playing possession football without owning the ball creates opportunities for communication among teammates through visual cues (like lines guiding passes), additional navigational aids such as minimaps promote better awareness during matches.
Core Values Guiding Rematch’s Design
The foundation upon which Rematch stands revolves around three primary principles: allowing players to embody athleticism fully while intensifying match pressures and appreciating teamwork dynamics. “It celebrates camaraderie while enjoying football,” explained Tarno; it emphasizes assisting teammates in achieving goals just as much as individual accolades—with satisfying moments arising from well-placed shots or remarkable volleys following collaborations with friends post-defeations through instant rematches enabled by quick queue systems reflecting its titular essence.
