Pool Nation FX

Pool Nation FX is a pool simulation with online and offline play. You can play a range of pool and snooker modes, compete in careers and challenges, customise rules and equipment, and create trickshots. Its physics engine supports both realistic play and trickshots with objects you can rotate on any axis and lift into the air.

Game modes

The modes include 8 Ball in UK Reds and Yellows and US rules, 9 Ball, 3 Ball, Golf, Rotation, Speed, Killer and Snooker. You can also play Trickshots, Fast paced Endurance, Versus and practice offline. Rules sets are customisable, and offline modes have varying AI difficulty levels.

Online, you can create matches with different modes and cash prize funds, play friendlies, compete in Leagues and tournaments, and spectate available matches live. Play for Cash is a competitive mode where you can earn coins; playing more games raises your player level and the amount of money you can potentially unlock. You can also play Snooker online and in a dedicated career.

Offline career

In the Pool Nation FX Tour Career, you progress through qualifying rounds, Round 1 and the Final, playing across six locations before reaching the World tour in New York. Each tournament level has three star challenges, and tour games include 8 Ball, 9 Ball and Snooker. You can choose Easy, Medium or Hard difficulty and from a variety of aiming lines, while tour rankings, player statistics and achievements track your progress.

Challenges and customisation

Daily Bonus Matches and Daily Trickshot Challenges offer additional ways to play. You can customise tables with a colour picker and collect cues, balls and decals, as well as unlock locations. The Trickshot Editor lets you build shots by rotating objects on any axis and lifting them into the air.

Online and offline options

Pool Nation FX is available in versions with different features. Pool Nation FX Lite includes online 8 Ball, Play for Cash 8 Ball, offline practice in 8 Ball, 9 Ball and Snooker, a Daily Bonus Match, and the Trickshot Challenge. It also provides aiming aids from standard through extended, or the option to turn them off; other modes can be unlocked with in-game currency.

The full game includes the online and offline features. Separate Unlock Offline and Unlock Online packs provide the corresponding features. In-game currency is earned through play and can unlock modes and items such as cues, balls, decals and locations.
