Handball Action Total

Accidentally saw this as i was looking through the reviews for Handball 21 while looking for a proper handball game with club teams and a club competition structure. And i found one. Thanks to whoever made this. It is not that far from PES/FIFA/NBA 2k series, and a step in the right direction for handball fans. Hopefully there is an update or a sequel with better visuals and arena atmosphere, that would be the only CON i have with the game really. Big PRO is a huge edit mode similar to PES/NBA/Football Manager where you can create your own league entirely with a little bit of work. As licencing would be an issue for a small studio like this, allowing us to edit everything like this as long as the IHF structure is kept is more than enough. As i was saying above, just allow us to import banners, waving flags, possibly arena custom logos to further customise everything. Online sounds fun although i couldnt find anyone to play with(it is a 2018 game i play in 2021 after all), but still, a sequel with better graphics and more options in 2021 should really get the attention it deserves. Do it devs! Pros -Massive edit mode (just needs further expanding like adding club banners, waving flags, possibly arena editor like NBA 2k and of course visual improvements) -Gameplay, controls and tactics (really entertaining, feels like handball i hoped i would get) -Multiplayer (it's sole presence is enough so far) -Competitions and statistics (everything is there) Cons -Graphics (feels like a PS3 early game, future update or release should at least make it on par with the PS4 generation)

So far I like this game-there are some bugs and rough edges that need attention but early indication is that the developer is open to conversation and improvement. That is something the other handball game by Big Ben never did, not one update or patch for either of their games! I'm an American with a limited knowledge of Handball but the ability to edit just about everything in the game as well as multiple season play gives this game a tremendous amount of replay value. I really think for the price if you have any interest is this sport at all it is worth a try.

Those looking for an alternative to bigben interactive's handball games should look this one out. It's far from being any "ultimate handball game" but it feels better in terms of translating the whole essence of the sport to a gaming sim. Plus... powerful creation tool to add and remove teams and leagues, can't go wrong with that! ;D

Ich habe das Spiel fast 4 Stunden gespielt und muss sagen, dass ich bisher nur an der Spitze des Eisberges gekratzt habe. Das Spiel überzeugt mit seinen Möglichkeiten. Angefangen bei der Anzahl der verschiedenen Würfen und anschließenden Wurfarten über diverse Turniere bis hin zum erstellen der eigenen Trikots, Spielern und sogar eigener Sprache sofern man dies möchte. Des Weiteren lässt sich das Spiel nicht nur mit Controller gut spielen sondern auch mit der Tastatur was selten ist bei Sportspielen, Die Grafik ist vielleicht nicht die neuste, aber das Wichtigste stimmt und das ist das Gameplay. Es macht auf jeden Fall viel Spaß und kann es nur jedem empfehlen, der schnelle Sportspiele mag und seiner Kreativität freien Lauf lassen will.

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this game. The graphics are plain ugly, actually so bad and clunky that it affects gameplay. I also couldn't find a view which I felt like comfortable in playing and having a good overview about what's happening in the field. The gameplay isn't there as well. It feels like guiding a team of ill-programmed robots. To be honest, it is not even worth the discounted price (I think I paid like 5€ or so). I really feel bad about this, because the game is very moddable which I like, but it's not worth to invest any time into it. I wish it would have been better.

Intial looks are vey good. The ability to customize leagues and teams is a huge plus. Looking forward to how the game develops forward. Update. This really is a solid game. Well designed and programmed.

Soetwas Für 20 euro auf den Markt zu werfen ist eine frechheit ich spiele seit 20 jahren selber Handball und dieses Spiel ist so weit von Handball entfernt wie es nur sein kann. ich habe vor etwa 10 Jahren vllt "Handball Challenge" gespielt das damals das erste Spiel war das für den pc ein herraus kam dass es möglich gemacht hat den handball selber zu führen und das war besser designt und besser gemacht als dieser Mist das ist kein Spiel das ist Speicher verschwendung ganz einfach

This game is bad and it only took me 15 minutes of gameplay to understand it. And I had to quit because I was honestly not having a good time. The graphics and animations are very basic, the HUD and menu navigation is bad and the controller support is awful as well (on a PS4 controller, the R2 was not recognized and triangle and R1 were switched between them for example). I always try to be positive in my reviews and especially in a niche area like Handball videogames is but this is simply not acceptable and I find it very weird how this is almost the only Handball game on Steam with positive reviews when it is clearly the buggiest and the worst experience overall. Compared to this, Handball 17 is a good game.
