World League Soccer is a soccer simulation game for the Super Nintendo, featuring a top-down perspective. Players control the ball using unique mechanics that require timing for effective passing and ball handling. Although initial gameplay may feel challenging, including executing advanced maneuvers like overhead kicks and long passes becomes achievable with practice, adding depth to the soccer experience.
Viewed top-down, the controls involve trapping the ball under your foot, giving you time to prepare passes. Running with the ball is tricky at first, as it doesn't stick to your foot the way it did in contemporary football games. Complex moves such as overhead kicks, back-heels and long-range through-ball passes can be completed with practice.
