Some mobile games can’t help but intrigue you. Take Football Planet, for instance. There’s that provocative name, its stealthy release that seemed to come out of nowhere and its unusual timing, coming a few weeks after the World Cup ended. It’s also a remarkable shift for 5 Ants, the studio that did Tiny Thief. Alas, this is no Tiny Thief, just a humorous attempt at simulating the beautiful game with plenty of sizzle but less than a full serving of steak.

If you like sports games of any type, you’ve almost certainly played something with the same ultimate goal as Football Planet. As the manager of your own fledgling football club, your job is to build it into a powerhouse capable of winning the cup at the toughest possible level of competition, the Maniac Division. You get to name your club and choose your kit colors from a decent selection, after which, it’s time to hit the pitch.

For the sake of full disclosure, I need to mention here that you only manage the team, so the soccer action plays out with no input from you other than setting the starting lineup, choosing free kick, corner and penalty takers and assigning some basic team tactics. You watch the results unfold in a series of animated sequences representing key plays that shows off the game’s awesome art style, but other than that, there’s no gameplay per se. If you have small children, prepare to ask them why you aren’t doing anything.

While the player designs are a treat and the action scenes provide for some good fun, they only go so far. Play about a dozen matches and you’re going to feel like you’ve seen them all. It’s also not like you can make substitutions or strategy adjustments; the die is cast once the first ball is kicked. Football Manager this ain’t.
