About Retro Kickoff

Retro Kickoff mixes club management with arcade action. You run Brickfield Town from the bottom division: pick who to train, sign new players from the transfer market and build up the training ground, stadium and medical room.

Matches play out live in a broadcast-style view with big commentary cards, but three to five times a game the camera cuts in close to a big chance. Swipe towards the goal to shoot, or slide a pass to a team-mate, before the defenders slide in.

How to play

  1. Press Play Match in the club office to start the next league game.
  2. Watch the commentary. When a chance comes, swipe from anywhere on the screen towards the goal. A longer swipe hits harder.
  3. Make a short swipe towards a team-mate to pass, then finish the move. Aim for the corners to beat the keeper.
  4. Between matches, train players, sign new ones, upgrade your facilities and make choices on club news cards.
  5. Finish in the top 2 of the 8-team league to win promotion. Get through four divisions and fill the trophy cabinet.
