Rikogol

Rikogol is online arcade football for up to 24 people. You control players with two actions—move and kick—while the physics determine passes, rebounds and shots. There are no player stats, dice rolls, fouls or offside; outcomes depend on play.

Matches and bots

Quick Match puts you into an open room, directly onto the pitch if a match is underway. If it finds no room, it starts a 3v3 match against bots and leaves the room open for others to join.

In Training › Versus Bots, you can play a full match offline, with halves and a result screen. Choose a team size from 1v1 to 11v11, one of four stadiums, the score and time limits, and Easy, Medium or Hard difficulty. Bots fill the rest of your team and the opposing side. In online rooms, the host can add bots to either team or enable “Fill Empty Seats with Bots”; a friend who joins takes a bot’s place immediately, even during a match. Bots play on the pitch, but never take the Head Coach seat.

Play together

Two players can share one PC in offline Versus Bots matches, using controllers or the same keyboard. You can team up against bots or play against each other on one screen, with a camera that follows both players and the ball. Steam Remote Play Together lets the second player join from another PC.

Online, you can invite friends through your Steam friends list or join an open room from the match browser. Rooms support lobby and in-match chat, passwords and up to 24 people: 22 players on the pitch and one Head Coach for each side. Steam Relay handles connections without port forwarding, an extra account or setup.

Team tactics

One player on each team can take the Head Coach role from the touchline. You can change your formation during a match, place pings for passes or to push up and drop back, and draw arrows that only your own team can see. The host filters those arrows so the opposing team does not receive them.

Pitches and presentation

Choose from four stadiums and team sizes from one to 11 players per side, from 1v1 duels to 11v11 matches. Room settings include the score limit, clock, kick strength and password. Five atmospheres are available: night floodlights, midday sun, golden sunset, snow and rain. Atmospheres affect only your screen. Crowds grow fuller as more players take the pitch, and fans behind the goal erupt when the ball goes in. Each player has a name and shirt number, and the scorer’s name appears on the goal banner.
