User Reviews

Retro Bowl is lauded for its nostalgic retro vibe, offline play, deep replayability, and simple visuals, with strong value due to no ads. However, users report purchase restoration issues, want more defensive features and realism (halftime stats, more positions), and note that the game can feel repetitive without new modes or celebrations.

Pros

Offline play without requiring Wi‑Fi, making it great for travel or commuting.
High replayability and depth (long-term progression with multiple seasons, drafts, and different saves).
Nostalgic retro feel that evokes classic football games like Tecmo Bowl.
Classic, accessible graphics and simple design that don’t rely on cutting-edge visuals.
No ads and minimal monetization, providing solid value.

Cons

In-app purchase issues: unlimited pass may not be redeemable and restoring purchases can fail.
Requests for more defense and realism (defensive gameplay options, more positions, halftime stats) across reviews.
Can become repetitive over time; players want more celebrations, practice modes, or additional gameplay variety.
(Optional) Occasional platform-specific fixes needed (e.g., Mac support) could improve accessibility.

Purchased RB years ago, i see theres an update available, but instead of the update, apple wants a credit card. Why? If i want to purchase something, i’ll use a c.c. but for an update?
