Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Goalturn is a competitive card game, and its balance can only be tuned with real players. Card costs, the six playing styles and the online ranked mode need feedback from many matches against real opponents. Early Access lets us adjust rules and cards together with the community before the full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect about 6 to 12 months. This may change depending on player feedback and how development progresses.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to add more players and cards in regular batches, more coaches and playing styles, additional cup competitions and opponents, ranked seasons with rewards, further balance passes and quality-of-life improvements, and full controller and Steam Deck support.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable:
- Training matches against the CPU on three difficulty levels and a three-lesson tutorial
- The Cup Run with four knockout rounds, transfers and penalty shoot-outs
- Online duels and ranked matches against real players
- Over 250 players, more than 70 action cards, six playing styles with their own coaches, seven formations
- Collection, card packs, crafting and deck building
- Interface in 27 languages”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Goalturn is free to play and will stay free to play after Early Access. Optional purchases are limited to coin bundles for card packs and cosmetic card backs.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Our Discord is the main place for feedback, bug reports and ideas. We also read the Steam discussions and publish regular development updates and patch notes with balance changes on Steam.”

About This Game

Football, one turn at a time

Goalturn turns a football match into a duel of decisions. You move the ball yourself: pass to a teammate, dribble past a defender, take the shot. Every risky action shows its chance before you commit, so the match is about reading the pitch, not luck.

Ten rounds. Eleven against eleven. One goal can decide everything.

Play the ball, then play your cards

  • Direct control: spend action points on passes, dribbles, shots, runs and tackles. After every action both teams shift like real formations.
  • Tactic cards: one-twos, through balls, crosses, sliding tackles, offside traps. Cards bend the rules at the right moment.
  • Instructions: lasting tactics such as High Pressing or Patience stay on the board for three turns. Change tactics to clear your opponent's.
  • Duels: tackles, dribbles, headers and shots against the keeper play out as card-versus-card duels.

Six styles, one coach

Possession, Counter, Pressing, Long Balls, Bulwark or All-Out Attack. Each style has its own coach with a special ability, its own cards and a bonus that grows with matching players in your starting eleven. Every style beats one and loses to another, so the matchup matters before kick-off.

Build your squad and your deck

  • Collect over 250 hand-painted players across four rarities, each with five ratings and traits like Clinical Finisher, Header or Ball Winner.
  • Legendary players bring their own signature cards into your deck.
  • Seven formations, real positions and drag-and-drop line-ups.
  • Build decks of 20 cards. Open packs, craft the cards you are missing, disenchant spares.

Modes

  • Online duels and ranked: play real opponents with hidden hands and traps. Climb from Bronze to Legend.
  • Cup Run: four knockout rounds against clubs with their own style, weather and venue. Sign new players after each win.
  • Training and Tutorial: learn passing, defending and cards in three short lessons, then practise against the CPU on three difficulty levels.

Free to play

Goalturn is free to play. Coins are earned in ranked matches and buy card packs and cosmetic card backs. Optional coin bundles are available through the Steam Wallet. Card packs contain random cards with duplicate protection, and every card can also be crafted from dust.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

The in-game illustrations (player portraits, card art, coaches, crests, card frames and backs, badges, pitch board and menu backgrounds) as well as the logo and store artwork were created with the help of generative AI image tools, then selected, edited and assembled by the team. The interface translations were created with AI assistance. No content is generated by AI during gameplay.
