Head Ball 2 review

Head Ball 2 is the best quick arcade soccer game here. Masomo's listing describes real-time 1v1 matches where you kick, head and use superpowers to score, with 18 superpowers to earn and counter. Progress comes through 5 leagues from Bronze to Diamond, a career mode that opens up characters and accessories, and 10 stadiums tied to a growing fanbase. You can create or join a team and take part in weekly competitions against other teams, and connect Facebook to challenge friends. The simple control set is why it scores highest here on ease of setup after Soccer Stars. It is popular too, with 4.7 out of 5 from 202,000 US App Store ratings and 100M+ Google Play downloads. It is not a simulation, though: there are no real clubs, matches are always 1v1, and the App Store listing discloses loot boxes and ads.
