Retro Football

Retro Football is a fast-paced 6v6 American football game with colorful pixel graphics and tactical play selection. Lead your team through exciting matches, score touchdowns, and chase the Retro Cup. Step onto the field and make every possession count!

Four Play Cards Decide Every Attack

Every offensive turn in Retro Football begins with four available play cards. Choose a passing route, running opportunity, bonus option, or signature move to advance the ball. The game features 13 passing plays, giving you different ways to find open teammates and break through defensive coverage. Reading the field is essential because defenders can quickly turn an ambitious pass into an interception.

Scoring also involves several options:

• Touchdown: Earn six points by reaching the opponent's end zone.
• Field Goal: Add three points with a successful kick.
• Extra Point: Gain an additional point after a touchdown.
• Two-Point Conversion: Attempt a more challenging scoring play for two extra points.

Stop Opponents with Defensive Formations

When the opposing team has possession, your job is to disrupt its attack. Retro Football offers eight defensive formations, including zone coverage, man-to-man defense, and aggressive blitz strategies. Choose from the available defensive cards to protect your field, pressure the quarterback, or chase the ball carrier. Changing formations helps you respond to different offensive approaches.

Complete a 17-Week Championship Season

Franchise mode takes you through a 17-week regular season featuring 32 teams. Each team has individual ratings, star players, and signature moves that influence its identity. Winning your division earns a place in the eight-team playoff. From there, you must get through the semifinals before reaching the Retro Cup final. You can also enjoy Quick Play for individual matches or challenge a friend through local multiplayer. Every three victories unlock a choice of new teams or bonus plays.
