足球游戏市场又多一个新IP，上架首日就吸引了100万玩家。 与艺电体育（EA Sports）开发的《FC》系列与科乐美开发的《实况足球》（eFootball）系列不同，这款叫做"重赛"（Rematch）的新作，不以模拟真实足 球为卖点，而是被戏称为"功夫足球"的幻想类足球游戏。 而《重赛》并非唯一一款近期受到关注的足球游戏。公测近一年、2024年上市在主机平台正式发售的《UFL》，终于在6月9-16日启动PC版试玩测试，并 在蒸汽游戏商城（Steam）的"Steam Next Fest"活动期间，成为玩家数量排名第九的试玩版游戏。 同时，《重赛》也没有能力值机制。让自己控制的球员变强的唯一方法，就是玩家更熟悉游戏的键位操作并能够更准确地输入。 而使《重赛》变成"功夫足球"的机制，则在于游戏中没有犯规判定。当玩家处于"控球"状态时，对手只要靠近玩家并按下抢断键就能破坏玩家的控球。因 此各类充满视觉冲击力的飞铲和身体碰撞效果，让球权交换的过程充满"格斗"的味道。 整体来看，《重赛》承接着近十年前《火箭联盟》（Rocket League）开拓的市场，进一步挖掘幻想类足球游戏的发展潜力。两者都试图用基于科幻主题 而来 ...
