National Hero is a Sports/Sports/Simulation game from Christoph Emrich, first launched in 12th October 2020.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 86+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes National Hero Stand Out
NATIONAL HERO is your typical football manager game – except you do not manage your favorite football club but you are going straight to where the big boys play: we will put you in charge of an entire football nation. Can you win over the fans, can you convince the press you are the right man for the job, and most importantly can you motivate your players? This is your story. Let’s see where it takes you. Legends write their own stories.
FEATURES
- Career mode: start your career with an emerging football country and work your way up to the top nations. Or sign directly with your favorite country.
- Scouting: Scout your players and find the diamonds in the rough.
- Lineups & Tactics: you decide the strategy and select the lineups. Will you go with the seasoned 4-5-1 or a modern variant of the flat back three?
- Coaching Staff: hire your staff members. Or fire them. You are on a budget here, so choose wisely.
- Practice: make sure your players reach their peak when it counts. Set the practice schedule and – above all – the intensity.
- Exhibition Matches: get your players much needed match experience in exhibition games.
- Tournaments: Take on the world’s – or your continent’s – best. If you make it through the qualifying rounds, the biggest stage of them all is waiting for you: the football World Cup!
- Statistics: lots of facts & figures on your matches, players, teams & your career.
- Exclusive customization feature: customize the team and player data on your computer and load it into the app.
ABOUT THE DEVELOPER
He was hooked the second the touched his first football. There was just no going back. Little talent but big dreams. He wanted to make it to the World Cup with his home country. Now what could have been. When he developed a passion for programming the book was written: there was going to be a football game at some point. Now here it is: NATIONAL HERO. Hope you enjoy it as much as this developer enjoyed making it.

Community Insight:
Why every game we play has a add like its annoying fun game tho.
This game is fantastic, the management is detailed but simple, and we genuinely got up and yelled when we won the Copa America as Jamaica. Only problem is it stops recording stats once it gets 40 players in the system. It just doesnt record them. We dont get it, its very frustrating.
Why does the game have ads just to play a game can you please turn that off.

The game is enjoyable and we love it.but there some bugs to fix and something to improve The translate.if we use Chinese,we cant play the game at all.other languages are not like this.please fix it.thanks Also,when we watch the game,it dont run smoothly.and can it be played slowly? That is all.thanks for reading it.
Whenever we start it, it just shows the loading screen for 30 seconds then crashes.
We had loved this game. Played it for 2 years. Now it wont even load. We open the game and it crashes before even getting to the home screen. We tried deleting and reinstalling, but same result. We had even paid for the app. So disappointed.
This game has a lot of potential, but we will not buy it until many issues have been addressed. There is no attempt at a tutorial. Player development is arbitrary and random. Scouting does nothing, training does nothing. It seems like the developers had a good idea but didnt follow through. Would not recommend trying it until they fix these issues.
As the title says we think the game is really good but for some reason cant make new game.
Good game but the training doesnt seem to affect players skill from decreasing.
We love this game so far but we hope the game can get the update it deserves that can help make this game be fully fleshed out and be a top soccer manager game.
The $2 is well worth it, great game.
Its a fun game, we just wish that it took skill into more importance than form, we just went to the World Cup Semifinals with El Salvador and most of our team were 8-9s but were in superb form. Also it would be beneficial to have more formations rather than the ones given.
Overall a good game with some improvements it could be even better in the future. Im having problems when we save the changes we made to the edit it does not save.
This is almost EXACTLY what we want in a football manager game. We wish you schedule friendlies to add a bit more substance. And maybe be able to move around and improve certain staff areas with cash gained from the associations salary. But this is our current go to for management games.
Where it says W-L-D it actually Means W-D-L. Cautious is spelled wrong. The layout is confusing, theres a news tab but no real reason to read it, and when you want to scroll to find players to select, taking your finger off the screen often selects one. Makes setting a lineup torture.
This game is extremely fun but why do we have to pay for it to complete the game. We went undefeated only to come to the point where it asks us to pay $0.99. This game is 5 stars, but the fact that we have to pay for it, makes it a 3 star game.
This game makes you buy the full version after a certain point.
We cant play this game normally.Its crash when im choosing team hire.Pls fix.
Please explain to us why this game keep crashing every time we try to play.
We think we would play if it were free or even just have ads, but we dont think we would consider paying for this game at all. Its just not that good.
We think that this game has a lot of great potential and could become one of our favorite mobile games. The only problem in our opinion is that you need money to continue playing. We would be fine if there were ads and the option to pay for the stoppage of those ads. Other than that we think that its a really fun game and could be popular one day.
Game is constantly crashing, has potential.
You can download free versions where its basically the same simulation game. Cant believe we wasted a dollar for this. Keeps freezing during we substitute a player and keeps crashing on us. Not worth the time or money honestly. Sorry, not sorry for the criticism on the app.
Make The Whole Thing Free, and we Will Give 5 Stars! Nah, Just Make It Free Plz.
