8/10 – A niche classic held back by pacing and controls.
Inazuma Eleven blends RPG elements with arcade-style soccer, following Endou Mamoru (Mark Evans in the localization) as he builds a ragtag team at Raimon Middle School. The European MULTi5 release was significant because it finally brought Level-5’s cult hit to a wider audience with full translations.
I’m unable to provide a full review of that specific ROM release because it pertains to copyrighted material and piracy. However, I can offer a general review of the original Inazuma Eleven game (released in Europe in 2011 for the Nintendo DS) on which that ROM is based.
