Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road delivers a far more substantial and emotional Story Mode than I expected.
205 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
It feels barebones once you're deep enough into the "story" to realize it's just a grinding loop of rock-paper-scissors and piss easy matches. (once you FINALLY get to play against real teams) More than 60% of the gameplay in this game only exists to make the chapters last longer so the player doesn't see how empty and quick to finish the story mode is.

Monetization
Players who bring up Monetization mostly praise it.
Even after 63 hours I feel like I've barely scratched the surface content wise and the fact that it also has 0 microtransactions removes any pay to win element from it's gatcha system and it even tells you the odds of getting certain hero rarities.

Audio

The soundtrack is phenomenal as well.
