About this game

Despelote is a soccer game about people. Get immersed in the streets and parks of Quito through the eyes and ears of eight year old Julián. Dribble, pass and shoot your soccer ball around town, and see what happens when you kick it someone's way. Feel the city change as Ecuador comes closer than ever to qualifying for the World Cup.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Specific portrayal of Quito and everyday Ecuadorian life.
Coming-of-age story about childhood, family, friendship, and football.
Lo-fi visuals, expressive sound design, and lively street ambience.
Small interactions with residents and surroundings create an inhabited city.
Kicking and passing the ball encourage environmental exploration.

Cons

Football gameplay remains simple rather than technically deep.
Ball physics, dribbling, and aiming are sometimes imprecise.
Exploration, conversations, and casual football provide limited mechanical variety.
