Inazuma Eleven (game)

Inazuma Eleven (game) is the first installment of the Inazuma Eleven games for Nintendo DS.

Story Mode
The main character, Endou Mamoru, is a very talented goalkeeper of the Raimon Junior High and the grandson of one of the strongest goalkeepers in Japan, who died before he was born. Even though his skills are incredible his school lacks a real soccer club as the 6 other members don't appear very interested even in training. But as soon as a mysterious forward called Gouenji moves to Endou's town, the young goalkeeper sets out to find and recruit members for his soccer team. There are nearly 1000 playable characters with varying skills that will determine the success of the team.

Match Mode
The game is split into two parts: one resembles a RPG, featuring various locations that Endou and his team have to explore in order to get new items, face several other players in short casual battles or to advance further in the story. Most of the goals of this part are indicated by a giant purple arrow. The second part is the actual match: using the stylus, the player moves the team around against another team. The player can dodge opponent's attacks, slide tackle to take the ball away, or use a special move available to the characters they recruited. The result of any of his players actions are determined by six skills, the player's element, and the total number of players participating in an action. Special moves can only be stopped with other moves, meaning that they will always win against basic tactics. Special shots and special saves however play simultaneously, which means that unlike defending the ball they always consume the TP bar and at the beginning are determined by the player's element only.
