XF: Football Arena - Tips and Tricks

 

XF: Football Arena is a new football game that offers 3v3 gameplay and offers multiplayer against other players as well. The game is from 9M Interactive, the same developers who made Extreme Football, another similar street-like football game that lets you play with other players. 

 

The game offers a futuristic concept that takes heavy inspiration from street football, also known as futsal. On the other hand, the game's graphics offer highly digitalized and ultra-modern visuals similar to Cyberpunk 2042 game on Console and PC.

 

The game is currently in its early access stages for players to play and share positive and negative feedback with the developers and help them learn where the game should be improved. Well, we've gotten our hands on the game, and in this article, we'll be giving you some brief tips and tricks to help you get some extra resources easily in this game. 

 

 

Master the Controls

---

One of the things you can do to help yourself in this game is to master the controls and use the skills. The game tutorial is brief and wasn't detailed enough to teach players basic moves such as tackling. So we advise taking some time and playing the training repeatedly to try and master the controls, so you don't get your ass kicked in matches. 

 

The game's controls can be a bit tricky. There's seemingly no button that allows you to call for the ball. Your character just randomly gets the ball and tries to score. There should be a button for this as well. The game has a lousy instructions button in the tutorial that isn't reliable in teaching players the game moves. It is too complicated and might seem overwhelming for new players. So we recommend spending time in the training sessions and mastering the controls yourself. 

 

 

Using Better characters

---

The game will start you off with a basic character named Ara. And after the tutorial, you'll unlock a new character named Sophia. In a match, you're only able to control one amongst the three players on your team. These characters are also called heroes, and you can head to your Line-up and make your selection before every match. 

 

It is better to go with a character besides the first two, which you are given. Ara and Sophia are only good to play with within the game's first few minutes. Afterward, you can barely use them to win a match against a tough opponent with highly skilled characters or heroes. Each character has their special skill or perks that make them stand out on the pitch, but they also have weak points. 

 

 

Upgrading Your Character     

---

Additionally, you can upgrade and develop your hero's abilities by leveling them up and unlocking new skillful abilities that they can use in the game. As a fast-paced game, scoring the first goal makes you the winner, which means you need to have a fully upgraded player on the pitch if possible. Each match lasts for about 3 minutes, and while matchmaking can take a while, you can simply head to the training and master your skills before an opponent is found for you. 

 

Quick steals, tackles, and fast movement define the game, and most of the time, this will be key to your victory. The game modes are divided into seasons, allowing players to rank up and win enough matches to earn a spot on the leaderboard. Completing various tasks and missions also sees you rank as well as reward you with special items. 

 

 

Watch Ads     

---

Being an early access game, there are very few items in the shop, but that doesn't stop you from getting the free Gold and booster pack rewards simply by watching short ads. Watching ads every one hour will see you get 200 gold or more, while the booster pack rewards you with three different types of booster packs that you can use to boost your player's performance in a match. 

 

Watching ads every hour and getting the Gold is really just free and easy money in this game. Even winning matches won't reward you with this much Gold. So while this game is yet to see a full launch, you might want to take advantage of this and garner as much Gold as possible without spending real money. 

 

You can spend your Gold on either a Random Box or a Premium Random Box. The former costs 200 gold and rewards you with various boosters, while the latter costs 700 gold and rewards you with similar items but of higher levels. 

 

 

Purchase Boosters 

---

Boosters increase your player's performance in a match, and compared to the Random Boxes, these are less expensive to purchase, and they contain different types of booster items that will come in handy when you go up against a tough opponent. 

 

Conclusion

---

XF Football Arena has a ton of promising features, and its futuristic gameplay is something to look forward to when it's fully ready for a global launch. For now, the game isn't without its charms, but the similarities with Extreme Football allow any player to pick Extreme Football over XL.

 

XL Football Arena needs to offer new and improved features that will make it stand out compared to Extreme Football, and right now, those features are missing. Despite its unique gameplay, the game feels repetitive most of the time. We understand that it's still in early access, but we also understand that this is the developer's chance to captivate players and make them eager to get their hands on the full launch.

 

Anyhow, there is still time to implement changes and make this game worthwhile. We hope our brief tips and tricks guide has been helpful to you, and you can discover some of the tricks in this game yourself by spending some time in the game's training, where you'll get access to different settings such as choosing your preferred camera mode, instructions, and others.
