Tryhard throws you headfirst into the chaos of managing a struggling New Zealand rugby club — despite having zero experience. What begins as a sightseeing trip quickly turns into a hilarious, heartfelt journey of leadership, misfits, and the absurd realities of amateur sports. No rugby knowledge required. 

Turn-based tactics meets local comedy 

Blending tactical RPG, auto-battler, and sports sim elements, Tryhard keeps matches fast, strategic, and unpredictable. Build your dream team from quirky characters, manage club politics, and outwit rival teams in a story-driven campaign. The branching narrative allows your journey to unfold win or lose — mirroring real-life sports heartbreaks and triumphs. 

Beyond the pitch, you’ll handle club logistics, chase sponsors, and debate with banks in a comically bureaucratic system. The authentically recreated Auckland adds charm and local flavor. A minor con? The humor might not land for everyone outside NZ or those unfamiliar with dry wit — but it never feels forced or overdone. 

A must-play for sports sim fans and story seekers 

With its unique genre fusion, lovable cast, and surprisingly deep management mechanics, Tryhard is a love letter to grassroots sports. This sports management game is silly, smart, and full of heart — making every loss and small win feel personal and earned.
