Retro Bowl

Retro Bowl is a retro-inspired American football simulation game developed by New Star Games Ltd. Launched in 2019 for iOS and later expanded to Android and web browsers, it quickly became a global hit for its mix of team management, strategic depth, and arcade-style gameplay.

In Retro Bowl, you step into the shoes of a head coach tasked with building and leading your own NFL-style franchise. From drafting rookies to signing free agents, upgrading facilities, and maintaining high team morale, every decision matters. On the field, you control the offense only—quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers—while defense is simulated. Victory depends on smart passing, precise timing, and creative playcalling.

The scoring system mirrors real football: earn Touchdowns (6 points), kick Field Goals (3 points), go for Extra Points (1 point) or a Two-Point Conversion (2 points), and even pull off a Safety (2 points). With a salary cap of $200 million and “coaching credits” as in-game currency, you’ll balance both financial and tactical strategies to keep your team championship-ready.

Mental Benefits & Learning Value

Beyond its fast-paced football thrills, Retro Bowl encourages strategic thinking, resource management, and decision-making under pressure. Students and casual players alike can sharpen their planning skills—learning when to take risks, when to save resources, and how to manage a team toward long-term success.
