The open beta for Sloclap’s upcoming aggressive arcade soccer sport Rematch has been an enormous success, attracting a formidable variety of concurrent gamers on Steam.

Sloclap is greatest identified for its martial arts-focused titles, Sifu and Absolver. Many followers of the aforementioned titles have been stunned when Sloclap introduced it was pivoting in direction of a soccer sport.
