Retro Bowl is a nostalgic, arcade-style American football game that combines simple gameplay with deep team management features. Developed by New Star Games, it first released in January 2020 and quickly became a favorite among mobile gamers for its old-school pixel art style and addictive mechanics.
Instructions
1. Start by Building Your Team
When you first open Retro Bowl, you’ll take over as a head coach.
You’ll be in charge of:
Drafting rookies
Managing your roster (releasing bad players, signing good ones)
Improving your facilities (training and rehab centers)
At the beginning, you’ll have a weak team — but that’s part of the challenge!
2. Playing the Games
In Retro Bowl, you only control the offense (the defense is simulated automatically). Here’s what you need to do during games:
Passing:
Tap and hold on the quarterback to "aim" your throw. Drag your finger to adjust the angle and release to throw the ball.
Running:
Sometimes you can hand the ball off to the running back. You swipe up or down to dodge tacklers.
Kicking:
After scoring a touchdown, you’ll need to kick an extra point or a field goal. You swipe to aim the kick, and power is determined by how far back you pull.
Pro Tip:
Passing to receivers that are open or leading them into space is key. Timing is everything!
3. Managing Your Team
Between games, you’ll manage your team by:
Upgrading facilities (training makes players better, rehab keeps them healthy)
Signing free agents
Dealing with player morale (if someone gets mad, you have to either fine or praise them)
Using coaching credits smartly (these are your currency)
Key Strategy:
Invest in good quarterbacks and wide receivers first — they make the biggest difference early on!
4. Winning the Retro Bowl
The ultimate goal?
Win your regular season games
Get to the playoffs
Win the Retro Bowl championship!
Each season, your reputation grows if you perform well — and you can even switch teams later for a bigger challenge.
