You're the manager of a tactical-shooter esports team. Sign recruits from the free agent pool, train them in stat-specific drills, equip them with perk-matching skins, and battle your way up the ranked ladder one match at a time.
Clutch Striker Manager is a single-player management simulation inspired by Football Manager and Counter-Strike. Free to play with optional rewarded ads — no forced ads, no microtransactions, no accounts required.
★ CORE GAMEPLAY
• Sign your first recruit and watch them evolve through deep progression
• Build a five-recruit active roster plus a three-slot bench
• Train recruits in Boot Camp drills — each costs real time and stamina, so plan around it
• Play Training matches (Bo3), Ranked matches (Bo5 with ±25 rank), and 8-team Tournament brackets
• Climb the ranked ladder from Bronze to Legend
• Promote recruits through Tier 1 → Tier 5, each lifting their stat floors
★ THE MATCH ENGINE
Every match plays out round by round with full CS-style mechanics:
• Buy phase economy: starting money, eco rounds, force buys
• Per-round bomb plant and defuse mechanics
• Knife rounds at the start of each match
• Multi-kill and clutch detection
• Headshot streak bonuses
• Live kill feed with attacker, victim, weapon
★ FOUR ROLES, FOUR PERKS
Match recruits to their role's signature perk for stat synergy:
• AGGRESSION — Entry fragger, bonus damage on first kill of the round
• SNIPING — AWPer, long-range one-tap specialist (+30 headshot chance)
• DECEPTION — Lurker, flank attacks and silent kills
• LEADERSHIP — IGL, in-game leader, boosts whole team's accuracy
★ TOURNAMENT BRACKETS
When you hit Manager LVL 30, single-elimination 8-team tournaments unlock with cash prize pools. Non-player matches simulate in real time so you always see your potential next opponent.
★ MARKET & ECONOMY
• Buy stamina consumables (coffee, energy drinks) with per-recruit cooldowns
• Purchase weapon skins from the daily rotation — equipped skins matching a recruit's perk grant +1 (common) or +2 (rare) perk bonus
• Mismatched skins are inventory only — no bonus
★ OPTIONAL REWARDED ADS
Three optional rewarded ad slots help if you want a boost without spending:
• Match-end cash bonus: +$200 (up to 3 per day)
• Stamina refresh: +50 stamina to one recruit (up to 5 per day, 2 per recruit)
• Drill skip: instantly finish an in-progress drill (1 per day)
Turn ads off entirely in Settings → Show ad bonus offers. The game is fully playable without ever watching one.
★ FOR FANS OF...
If you played Football Manager and wished it was about Counter-Strike, CS Manager is built for you. If you love deep stats, perk synergies, and watching a roster you built grind to the top, this is your kind of game.
★ DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
• No forced ads, ever — every ad is opt-in for a specific reward
• No in-app purchases — there's nothing to buy
• No account required
• No analytics or behavioral tracking
• Saves are local — closes the app, your progress is right where you left it
• Optional crash report copied to clipboard via Report a Bug button — never sent automatically
★ ACCESSIBILITY
• Reduced motion mode disables looping animations
• Adjustable match playback speed (FAST / SLOW)
• Audio + haptic feedback toggles
• Volume slider for sound effects
• Large, high-contrast UI
★ EARLY ACCESS
This is Early Access v0.12.0. The core gameplay loop is complete and polished — match engine, boot camp, market, tournaments, full progression. Content depth (skin catalog expansion, daily missions, more match modes) will grow in updates. Your feedback shapes what comes next.
