Description
Football, Tactics & Glory is a football management game for strategy lovers.
Football, Tactics & Glory reinvents the basics of the football management genre, making it appealing to everyone, not just the most hardcore football management aficionados. The game skips the boring parts of football management games – all those endless tables, numbers, routine and micromanagement. But it is deep enough to keep players engrossed for hundreds of hours.
If you enjoy turn-based gameplay, strategy or tycoon games, you will love Football, Tactics & Glory.
History
Start of development
By the end of 2011, after the financially disastrous Collapse and Collapse: the Rage, Creoteam had decreased from 20 to 3 people: the programmer, the animator, and the game designer. They decided to make a game of a smaller scale but very deep and addictive.
Andriy Kostiushko, the head of Creoteam, loved football management games but disliked how confusing their interfaces were, how unclear the impact of your decisions felt, and how often the experience turned into spreadsheet work. He set out to create a football management game that respects your time, makes the impact of every choice clear, and still offers real depth, clever tactics and strategic decisions that feel genuinely rewarding.
On 1st June 2015, the game was released on Steam Early Access under the name Football Tactics. In early 2018, Creoteam changed the game’s name to Football, Tactics & Glory because it better described the game’s nature.
Launch
The game’s full commercial release was made on 1st June, exactly three years after it entered Steam Early Access. The launch was successful. Football, Tactics & Glory stayed in the “New and Trending” section on Steam for a few weeks. The game’s rating was 91%. It was covered by Polygon, Rock Paper Shotgun, Gamestar, and other press.
Console version of the base game
On 22nd January 2020, the game was released on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in Europe. This version, however, didn’t include the content of the free updates released to FTG during the 1.5 years after the official launch. The publisher of the console version is Toplitz Productions.
Football Stars DLC
On 12th November 2020, the developers released a major expansion, Football Stars, which added mechanics of Giftedness, numerous statistics, significantly improved transfer mechanics, and many other features that improved the game across almost every aspect. Here’s a press kit for the expansion.
Manager’s Journey DLC
On 11 November 2021, the team released Manager’s Journey, a major expansion focused on letting the manager build a career beyond a single club. You develop your reputation, complete board objectives, unlock new abilities, and receive job offers from different clubs. The DLC also introduced significantly improved AI for other clubs and many other enhancements. Here’s the expansion’s press kit.
100.000 copies sold
On 14 August 2024, the team announced that sales of the base game had surpassed 100,000 copies, not counting the console versions or the DLCs.
Treble Deluxe Edition
On 20 November 2025, the most complete version of the game launched on consoles as Football, Tactics & Glory – Treble Deluxe Edition. It includes all content ever released for the base game, every free update, and both major expansions. The edition is available on Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

Selected Reviews
- “Football, Tactics and Glory shines because it provides lots of stories, triumphs and disappointments.” – Colin Campbell, Polygon
- “If, like me, you crave the drama and flavour of club football, but don’t have the patience to grapple with full-blown management simulations like Football Manager, or the manual dexterity or even-temper necessary to play games like FIFA, anticipate obsession.” – Tim Stone, Rock Paper Shotgun
- “Football Tactics is the most captivating indie PC game I have played. In addition to the strategic gameplay and management aspects, the fact that games play out quickly helped keep me going “just one more turn.” In that way, it is very much like bigger strategy titles, like the aforementioned Civilization series. Plus, it is polished and charmingly animated, with easy to read menus and a very helpful tutorial.” – Caley Roark , Operation Sports
- “Think Heroes of Might and Magic but with footballers instead of griffins…” – Alan Passingham, The Pixel Empire
- “A real innovation: deeply addictive…” – Alexander Krützfeldt, GameStar.de
