Free football game for Android

World Football Cup Kids is a free game from Best Football Games for Android devices. In this game, you control a team of football players competing against other teams, much like eFootball 2023 and FIFA Soccer. However, some significant differences when comparing it against these titles make World Football Cup Kids an attractive option.
In this title, the action is oriented toward children. This is because several features are much simpler than other, more “serious” football simulators. These features are especially useful for children and anyone looking for relaxing football matches. They still get to have fun, but with simpler usage.
Cute cartoon graphics
World Football Cup Kids features all the original players from the different teams but in a cartoon-like style. These players are more in tune with games like Harvest Moon or Animal Crossing than a football game, with big heads and small bodies, which make them charming.
However, they also look a bit bland and generic since it looks like they used the same face template for everyone. They do have different hairstyles, but it doesn’t do much to differentiate them.
Simple controls and gameplay elements
One of the most significant novelties in World Football Cup Kids is that there’s a different control scheme compared to others that allows one to control the whole team easily. You can set the “attitude” of the team with sliders and control individual players.
This is very interesting and makes you wonder why this isn’t available in other games in the genre. However, it makes the game more difficult until you learn the ropes. In that sense, it would be more difficult for a child than regular football games. Because the controls are different from the norm, there’s a slight learning curve to master them.
A different take on football games
If you like football games and are tired of the ‘nth’ iteration of the two most popular franchises, you should give this a go. This is also true if you want a nice game for your children to enjoy. However, it would help if you remembered the control scheme, while extremely useful, can be difficult for a child to master, initially at least.
The AI is notoriously challenging, too, so don’t let appearances fool you. World Football Cup Kids is great for players looking for challenges but defeats the purpose of being child-friendly and offering a laid-back experience.
