Japan-based game publisher Level-5 has just announced that Inazuma Eleven SD will be ending its service on 1 December 2020, a mere 11 months after its debut. According to the developer, it was unable to provide a satisfactory game for fans of the franchise.

For context, the following is an overview of the game from our previous coverage on it; Inazuma Eleven SD is an ohajiki-based online game where users will form a team of toy figures based on characters from the Inazuma Eleven series. You then take your team to participate in the “Super Dimensional Toy Soccer” tournament.

Gameplay is fairly straightforward as it involves players having to pass and shoot the ball from merely flicking characters appropriately. As you would come to expect, each character is unique in that they each have their own abilities and ultimates.

There is a story mode for you to sink your teeth in, and as you clear the maps, you will be able to obtain new figures and unlock additional maps. In addition, there is a Stadium Battle Mode where you can be able to battle against across the world. And as you win battles, you will be able to attract fans to you support you team, which in turn grant you access to even more battles. Pretty straightforward, if you ask us.
