Retro Bowl

Retro Bowl is American football boiled down to the parts that feel good: you play as the quarterback (and kicker), calling nothing, just dropping back and throwing darts to receivers you steer after the catch. Everything else — defense, roster drama, press conferences — is handled through light management between games.

The pixel-art presentation hides a sharp little franchise sim. Managing salary cap, morale and draft picks matters just as much as your deep ball, and losing your star receiver to a contract dispute stings like the real thing.
