Soccer Tactix

Soccer Tactix is a strategy hybrid: deck-builder card-drafting meets full-pitch soccer simulation. Players manage a squad, draft tactical tiles between matches that modify match-day mechanics (pressing intensity, passing-range vectors, set-piece routines), and compete in real-time and asynchronous ladders.

The interesting engineering problem is the simulation determinism. Multiplayer ranked matches need to reproduce identical results from identical seeds — no client-side cheats, no resync hiccups. We run the simulation lockstep with shared seeds and validate every result server-side.

Drafted at Kokomo Games, this is in active development. The hybrid genre is unproven — most soccer games are simulation-pure or arcade-pure, neither integrates strategy-card mechanics. The bet is that a 15-minute match with 5 tactical-tile decisions is more compelling than 90 minutes of FIFA stickwork for the average player.
