About this game

Rugby Nations 26 puts you at the heart of the action. Build your team and take on the best teams from around the world. Play through every ruck, maul, and bitterly contested try as you rise through the ranks and carve out your place among Rugby Legends.

CORE GAMEPLAY
Jackaling and bump-offs keep the momentum of the match flowing, while charge down kicks and calling mark give you greater control of the defensive side of the sport. Adaptive intercepts add more risk to those clutch plays but make it all the more rewarding to steal possession of the ball in this highly immersive rugby simulator.

CLUB MODE 2.0
Choose your team's country of origin and take on local teams all the way up to national Rugby Legends. Move up the ladder, gain promotion to challenging higher leagues, and battle it out in the playoffs to become champions. Take part in inter-season tournaments and face teams from around the world.

KIT DESIGNER
A complete overhaul to the kit designer allows you to give your team their own unique identity. Mix and match all new designs, selecting individual colours for every aspect of your kit from collar to boot. Design a kit your team can wear with pride as you score epic tries and celebrate your victories on the pitch.

MATCH PRESENTATION
Match commentary makes each game feel like a moment in Rugby Union history, highlighting all your masterful plays during gameplay. Listen as the crowd goes wild, filling the stadium with an atmosphere never felt before on mobile. Animated Scoreboards respond to your epic plays, pre-match sequences show off your team roster, and end-of-match statistics spotlight your top players. All that, along with an expanded portfolio of celebration and gameplay match cutscenes, further immerses you in the action.

IMPROVED REALISM
Varied weather and time of day add more possibilities to each match as you play from dawn through dusk during scattered showers, intense snow or foggy conditions. New stadium surroundings and a greater variety of players help breathe new life into each match, making each match feel different, with enhanced grass rendering coating the pitch with a fresh layer of detail, bringing the Rugby simulation to life like never before.

I really enjoy the game—it's so fun and engaging! However, I believe the waiting time could be improved to allow for quicker gameplay, perhaps by using at least 5 energy bottles or giving the option to purchase more energy with the cash earned. Additionally, I find it a bit tricky when I'm instructed to swipe to win the ball after a tackle, as I often end up committing penalties to the opponent despite multiple attempts. Lastly, it would be great to have the option to trade or buy players.

Nice game to play... tackle needs to improve.. if the game could use online to play against friends or other people will also be productive and efficient.. and that energy bars must be taken away so that we can play for much longer. The career mode is also nice.. but it can be made a little bit difficult for players who are use to the game.. The game an also bring in counter racking in for the whole rugby experiencem But all in all.. the game is excellent

..tha game is well and good the power ,vibe and the atmosphere. but there are little things that must be added by the editors .things like multiplayer to improve the experience and share with friends. also the energy refueling is the sad part because sometimes they don't refill. also the game length must be extended becomes the time frame is to little also add new players ☝🏼
