Retro Bowl — Lead Your Team, Win the Championship
Step into the role of head coach and general manager with Retro Bowl, the retro-style American football game from New Star Games. Whether you’re building from a modest hometown club or managing a top-tier franchise, your mission is to guide your team from underdog to champion.
What Makes Retro Bowl Great
- Nostalgic 8-bit graphics and sound that evoke classic football video games from the 1980s and 1990s — a stylistic throwback that’s simple, charming, and easy on device performance.
- Deep team and roster management: sign and trade players, balance salaries, upgrade training or stadium facilities, manage staff, handle media, and boost team morale — every decision off the field impacts how your team performs.
- Accessible gameplay for both casual and dedicated players: On offense, you control the quarterback — choose your play, then use simple controls (mouse/trackpad or touch) to pass or run, dodge defenders, and aim for touchdowns. Defense is handled by the AI, letting you focus on offense and strategy.
- Long-term progression & customization: Over multiple seasons you build your franchise, develop players, customize team identity (colors, logos, uniforms), and shape a legacy. Championships, hall of fame status, and team history lie ahead.
How to Play (Quick Start)

- On offense, pick a play — then use drag, swipe or click controls to pass or run, aim for receivers, dodge defenders, and try to score. Meanwhile, your managerial decisions (drafts, trades, training) shape your team’s future.
