Play is controlled simply with an analogue stick for movement and three buttons for attacking and defensive activities. You can also double tap the right side of the screen to pull off some context-sensitive special moves".^[7] Level7.nu said the game has "A very ambitious soccer game with lots of content and great gameplay".^[7]

Sequels

First Touch Soccer has three sequels, named First Touch Soccer 2014 First Touch Soccer 2015 and "Dream League 17".

First Touch Games then removed these titles when the game play meant the user had to spend very little actual money, meaning the developers didn't make enough profit. Subsequently games released by First Touch gave users very little chance to succeed unless they used real money to buy upgraded stadiums.
