20 of 20 · most liked firstControls are shotty at best, the gameplay doesnt flow, will probably give it a second chance. I am going to bank on my terrible knowledge of handball as to why this game isnt very good. It feels a little dated but I am no snob. I purchased on sale for fairly cheap. Everything feels like this was a game made by accident.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do not understand why this game gets such poor reviews. I am an avid sports gamer, and I love the old along with new. Yes the graphics are dated, but the gameplay is not. I really enojoy playing this game as it is unique and I only saw a bit of this sport while stationed in Germany. If you are like me and an overall avid sports gamer, this game is worth getting for your library. This game is not for the faint of heart, it is challenging. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT COMPARE THIS GAME TO THE…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →don't even think about the rating of the teams in this game it doesn't matter. the ai is also set to only foul if you get close to them.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a fan of Handball an d a player myself, I followed the developement of the game closely, and was happy when I bought it. I didn't expected much... but I was still disappointed. KI is basically not existing, neither on the own team (standing in perfect offensive Formation is nice....but not when your own goalkeeper has the ball and is looking for a player to throw it to), nor on the other. And what bugs me the most is, that the most significant errors should be fixed pretty easy, e.g. the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a game with potential, but unfortunately there are a lot of weird bugs and mechanics. It could have worked much better. In the category of handball games it is the best in my opinion.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →really not a good game. stiff and unresponsive, all of the camera perspectives are equally unsatisfying, there's absolutely no dynamism to gameplay or animations - playing defense just feels like a gamble.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was waiting for this game.. It was over advertised, took a long time to develop.. but the final result is probably the worst game I ever bought and played. Totally disapponted by this game. And I'm sure many handballers and fans will be as disappointed. It was probably better to make an "Handball Manager"-ish game, instead, giving the result. Difficult to play, embarassing animations (we're almost in 2015)... I expected something better, since the game has been advertised four / five years…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I said not recommended first time, but after ignoring graphics, and setting to easy, game become very fun, some wins some losses and that's it. I recommend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Extremely janky & obviosly now 10 years outdated, but it's probably still the best attempt at translating handball into a video game context we ever got. Definitely better than the "Handball (insert year here)" series that succeded it. If you're willing accept the game's quirks like always launching in German or the janky controls, there is some fun to be had here.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've played IHF Handball Challenge 12 while it was still in beta, a long time ago, and decided to now buy this one on Steam. Like other people already said, it's not very different from 12 but it is a really good handball game overall. You can't compare this to other big sports titles since the context is simply not the same. This was the first real effort into making a handball game and it is very polished overall, honestly. Sure, a few bugs, not much to do in career mode aside from playing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't see what the deal is with all these bad ratings. It's a good game, not a great game but worth the purchase. I have no regrets.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buy the cheaper, better IHF Handball Challenge 12 instead of this. The only two things better with this game is that you can make the spin shot, which is really nice, but most of all the hilarious and cringe announcers; Basically it's a Swedish and a German announcer trying to talk English with really broken accents and with no feelings or empathy at all for the game or plays. It's really funny and cringeworthy so if you have the money it's worth to get just for them (you can also watch…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ever text was german , what language I do not really know to be real , and it was buggy in resolution , with PS4 , and PS5 controller , or keyboard - mouse combination aswell , and with any UI what I could see. So basically I could start anything than the game itself to some settings for the first - second - third start before the main menu...xD Yeah I know it is a game from 2014 , released for other operation system etc... Of course , but this is what happend to me still... I do not know If…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the game is diferent, not so much games about HANDBALL, the german narration has no emotion at all., the playability is good APPROVED
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It starts by default in German. Cannot switch it to English unless you swap some files in it. The controls are very weird and complicated. There is a combination of 2 letters (W and D) and ALT + Space. Really? 4 at once with one hand? You really are overachievers. I understand that it is a 2014 game, but still i would have expected more from it. Bad graphics, weird menus and the camera movement in the game gives you vertigo.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →1. Riddled With bugs 2. completley trash Mechanics 3.Zero effort was put into this game 4.Movement is horrible that is if you can move without getting fouled every 0.2 seconds 5. clocks running and AI just take there sweet time In Conclusion Very frustrating piece of crap game that makes handball look like absouloute garbage id rather take a SH!T in my hands and clap then play this game ever again
