And some of you may already know some of the games mentioned in this list.
#10. Inazuma Eleven 3: Lightning Bolt
- Release Data: Level 5/Nintendo, 2013
- Genre: Sports » Team » Soccer » Arcade
The gameplay stands the test of time really well and there is a lot to like about it, and it is still an enjoyable world to walk around in.
The matches are also great fun, despite for those annoying scripted moments where the story takes higher priority than the fun.
#9. Inazuma Eleven 3: Team Ogre Attacks!
- Release Data: Level 5/Nintendo, 2014
- Genre: Sports » Team » Soccer » Arcade
The story may be a bit too much, and the gameplay beats can be a touch clumsy to begin with, but Inazuma Eleven 3: Team Ogre Attacks is a mighty entertaining sports RPG that has a big heart, and an infectious enthusiasm for what it is.
#8. Inazuma Eleven 3: Bomb Blast
- Release Data: Level 5/Nintendo, 2013
- Genre: Sports » Team » Soccer » Arcade
There’s no question that Inazuma Eleven 3 is aimed at younger fans of soccer, and it is both a fantastic alternate option to the numerous realistic soccer games out there, and a good starting point into the world of role-playing games that doesn’t require playing the previous entries to get to grips with it or to enjoy the story.
#7. FIFA Soccer 12
- Release Data: EA Sports/Electronic Arts, 2011
- Genre: Sports » Team » Soccer » Sim
The career mode lacks some of the depth required to keep you engaged for longer gaming sessions, but its visuals are impressive, and it tries its best to take advantage of the 3DS unique features.
For example, the Pro camera position in 3D puts you right in the center of a soccer match, which is a cool thing.
#6. Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 3D
- Release Data: Konami, 2011
- Genre: Sports » Team » Soccer » Sim
Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 3D is a good soccer game. If you’re a fan of the sport, it’s worth picking up, especially if you’re familiar with the series.
It just disappointing that Konami didn’t put enough effort in to fix the issues that keep the game from being great.
#5. Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 3D
- Release Data: Konami, 2012
- Genre: Sports » Team » Soccer » Sim
Overall, Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 3D feels like another great entry into the series, but it also feels like little more than an upgrade over Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 3D.
In the end, it’s nice to have a portable version, and it doesn’t feel like anything was lost in the transition to the 3DS.
#4. Inazuma Eleven Go: Light
- Release Data: Level 5, 2014
- Genre: Sports » Team » Soccer » Arcade
The clever mix of standard RPG adventure with an intriguing soccer-based storyline and innovative battle system in the form of tactical stylus-controlled soccer matches makes this one of the most unique games on the 3DS.
Overall, Inazuma Eleven GO is just fantastic, and it nails all the important aspects that make this sports RPG a winner.
#3. Inazuma Eleven Go: Shadow
- Release Data: Level 5, 2014
- Genre: Sports » Team » Soccer » Arcade
While the voice acting can be terrible and the game is too linear in the opening moments, there is more than enough to enjoy.
The solid gameplay and novel presentation make it one game that fans and newcomers alike should check out, especially if they can make use of the multiplayer.
#2. Inazuma Eleven
- Release Data: Level 5, 2014
- Genre: Sports » Team » Soccer » Arcade
If the phrase “soccer RPG” has you the least bit intrigued, grab your stylus — Inazuma Eleven is fun, fresh, and surprisingly deep.
But perhaps its greatest trick is that you don’t need to love the sport to enjoy the experience; for RPG fans, Inazuma’s soccer-based battles and schoolyard setting are a breath of fresh air unlike anything else.
#1. Inazuma Eleven Go: Chrono Stones – Thunderflash
- Release Data: Level 5, 2015
- Genre: Sports » Team » Soccer » Arcade
Inazuma Eleven Go: Chrono Stones – Thunderflash are really great games, but they aren’t for newcomers in the slightest.
The game expects you to have played the previous entries and that you know what happened to the various characters.
Overall, this is a decent title, and the new elements to the battles are simply awesome.
