Are you ready to walk into the blazing gridiron and feel the great exhilaration of American football? Retro Football is your pass to the golden age of arcade sports games, now with clean, high-definition pixel imagery and gameplay that combines blistering reflexes with strategic thinking.
Featuring a streamlined 6v6 format and matches that last only about 7 minutes, it’s the perfect way to enjoy some gaming action anytime, anywhere.
What sets Retro Football apart is its match management system, which is fuelled by the “Tactical Cards.”
Offence: Choose One of Four Cards Available. These could be a number of passing plays, spectacular rushing efforts or your team's unique "Special Move". Then the game begins and you’re at the controls, reaching for extra yards, jumping over ferocious tackles or threading the needle with a perfect throw. But be careful: a reckless throw into a congested area can quickly result in an interception by the opposition.
Defence: Choose from 8 distinct tactical formations. You can play zone defence, play tight man-to-man defence, or go all out for a "Blitz" and go full-court and try to take down the opposing quarterback before they can throw the ball.
The scoring system is just like the real thing: 6 points for a touchdown, 3 points for a field goal, and high-stakes decision-making when you have to choose between a safe extra-point try or a hazardous two-point conversion attempt.
If you want to prove your talent for management and leadership, Franchise Mode is your main stage. You’ll choose one of 32 teams—each with its own unique stats, star players, and special moves.
The road to greatness is no easy feat. You have to fight your way through 17 gruelling weeks of the regular season, battle your way to the top of the rankings to earn a berth in the 8-team Playoffs, and then win the renowned Retro Cup. There’s also a fun reward system in the game where you’ll gain new teams or hidden tactical cards every 3 triumphs.
Short on time? Quick Play mode drops you straight into an intense exhibition match. Even better, Retro Football supports local multiplayer on a single device. There’s nothing quite like inviting a friend to sit by your side—sharing the keyboard (WASD and arrow keys)—to see who truly reigns supreme as the ultimate coach on the gridiron.
With controls expertly optimized for keyboard, mouse, gamepads, and touchscreens alike, Retro Football is a sports title you simply can’t miss. Lace up your cleats, devise your game plan, and score some spectacular touchdowns today!
