MMO DNA
A visual fingerprint built from MMOFinder’s current verified catalog fields—not a review score.
Non-combat game; competition is settled through soccer matches, not combat
Inherently team-based small-sided matches, not a soloable experience
Fixed match modes and pitches, a structured sports-lobby game rather than an open world
Non-combat game; skill is expressed through soccer mechanics rather than combat
Why you might like it
- Its street-soccer format — small-sided 3v3 to 5v5 matches on rooftops, streets and factories — gave it a distinct identity from formal stadium-soccer games.
- It reached real popularity in its home market, launching with over 300,000 registered users on the Korean service.
- It's preserved here as a record of Entermate's take on the sports-MMO niche before its 2009 shutdown.
Things to consider
- Kicks Online shut down in December 2009 and can no longer be played.
- As a match-based team sport, it was never a soloable experience — you needed other players to fill out a match.
- Independent English-language coverage is sparse, so exact population figures and later update history are undocumented.
