Description
Short: Aftertouch is an Amiga-inspired football and club management game where you bend the ball after it leaves the boot, then take a club up through four divisions.
Long: Aftertouch brings back the fast, top-down football of the late Amiga years and the one trick everybody remembers: aftertouch. Release a shot, then steer it with the stick, curling it round the keeper, lifting it over him or keeping it low. Matches are refereed properly, with offside, advantage, bookings and stoppage time, by six officials who each see the game differently.
Between matches you run the club. Eighty clubs across four divisions, a transfer market with scout reports, tactics, formations and training, finances, ticket prices and stadium projects. Every club rotates its squad, tires and picks up injuries over a season, and three difficulty levels change how the opposition thinks, never how good the players are.
