Experience Retro Rugby Excitement
Retro Bowl is an all-time popular American Football game with cool pixel art that perfectly mixes management tactics with live competition. Players will transform into a head coach, manage a team of 11 players, and make important decisions both on and off the field, with the ultimate goal of winning the Championship.
Gameplay—Management and Action
Retro Bowl is still the key to keeping the fight fair between these two:
- Off-field management: Recruit and trade players, upgrade facilities, maintain team spirit, and manage budget.
- On-field competition: Control offensive players, pass the ball, avoid defenders, make touchdowns, and score points.
- The game consists of 4 quarters with standard football rules. Players must manage offensive tactics while leveraging the strengths within the formation to defeat their opponents.
