Comments on Retro Bowl for Android

★★★★★ Joe Corrao · Jun 20, 2026
Great little game. I love drafting guys and developing them over 2:3 seasons. Then when they turn 28 I cut them when they want a big contract. I also like releasing guys mid-season to show the team whose boss.
★★★★★ Jacob Harris · May 23, 2026
Awesome retro Football game, I like Franchise mode, but can you add exhibition mode
★★★★☆ Joey Mckee (Shadow Dragon Gaming YT) · Jun 22, 2026
Great game! I would give it 5 stars, but it loses a star only because there's always room for improvement, especially with retro bowl. Don't get me wrong, it's one of the best mobile games I ever played, but New Star Games, can you all add a career mode and the ability to run out of the pocket when passing, like the current passing is fine, but I want to be able to swipe back to run and swipe back again to aim. Also consider adding daily rewards, like 1 cc for 1 day all the way up to 7 cc for 7 days
★★★★☆ Matt G. · Jun 30, 2026
I am a die-hard Browns fan (yeah yeah I know) & loved football since I was 7. Just a year before Tecmo Bowl came out on the NES. So, as a huge football guy I gotta say other than a couple changes/additions here & there, this game is near perfect. Closer to Tecmo Bowl this game is, the better. Now seeing we obviously can't have the actual thing, I gotta say u guys did 1 hell of a job. Very, very reasonable price to purchase. Soooo close to 5 stars. Closest Tecmo Bowl experience ur going to get.
★☆☆☆☆ Darren Clark · Jun 8, 2026
I've played this game for a few weeks. I don't think the developers have ever played their own game. If they did, they would see that there are obvious problems with the game. The difference between easy and hard is huge. Easy you blow them out. Hard they blow you out. But it's the amount of interceptions that you throw while its on hard that ruined it for me. Unrealistic and impossible to not do. Fix these problems and maybe let the player decide who they want to coach for and this would be a 5☆
★☆☆☆☆ Naythan Dickert · Jun 8, 2026
Tell me why I was 16 and 1 and then a team that I beat before beats me 41 to 27 I hate this game and stuff like that shouldn't be aloud
★☆☆☆☆ Jamarion Smith · Jun 11, 2026
It was good, and then it was booty and bad I love it at first but a glitch in the game reset all of my stuff, and I had 5 five-star team it put me in a team that I did not want to be in overall it's a good game but when that glitch come and all you afford just disappeared I was playing this game every single day for like 2 months I built a 5 star team I was winning every single game, and I was on hard mode, and I was still winning but 1 day I come back to a 1 star team I lost everything I had 1000ch
★★☆☆☆ 4carter · Jun 5, 2026
Freaking Sucks. The opponent somehow gets a huge boost now. And whatever team you play like prime Prescott. Choking EVERY. SINGLE. POSSESSION. Before, the game was mid. Now, I woud rather draw on a ceral box rather than playing this.
