Retro Goal 12+

Overall this is a very good game and is very fun, but could be improved to make it even better. I found that the morale system is a bit broken, if you are winning most of your games your morale will be pretty much always 100 and if you are losing a lot of games your morale will always be really low, for me I had a few bad seasons and after that it was really hard to get morale above 10% even though I was winning pretty much every game, which results in a ton of red cards which is really annoying. Morale should be more balanced. The opponent also shouldn’t be able to score 2 goals back to back without getting the ball once. It seems like the way the money system works that if you are losing a lot of games then you won’t get much money an you’ll keep getting worse. There’s pretty much no point playing on that difficulty if you are losing more games than winning. However other than this it is a very good game and I would recommend.

I have yet to play too long and already, this game is one of the best games I have played in a while on mobile. It’s easy to learn and fun once you get used to it. A peeve of mine though is that some basic features are locked behind a paywall, it is annoying but regardless Medium difficult is still fun.

I do feel some things could be added to improve the game’s content however.

I recommend explaining what Traits are to the normal player. The Information button on the are only displays the information I already know, some are self explanatory but traits like “Red Mist” are very vague.

I feel like consequences for decisions you make at the end of a round would be a good addition to the game. Take for example if you lose the match and a player is seen as playing poor, if you continuously defend them they could potentially grow to be worse due to lack of criticism. However if you do the opposite their moral will become so low that they might have the ability to break the contract or get more yellow and red cards. If you don’t address the fans at all if you win you may begin losing them for example. Or if you continuously refuse talking to the Chairman he will eventually do something about it. Just an idea of course.

While this is more of a “It would be cool if…” than a you should. I think some customisability would be cool. Take for example being able to change the colour of the menu screen or being able to change the team member’s name.

This game is great, many fun aspects and is really easy to learn. Retro Goal definitely has the potential to be a good game.

Firstly, try not to add to much, many games in the industry start off good but the developers add to much which can make the game more annoying and more confusing. Just keep things simple.

Secondly, the money system is not great, many good 4/5 star players are quite expensive. They’re contract usually lasts for about a year (if your not paying for better players) and that can mean that you will not have enough money to sign them again.

Finally, include dynamic difficulty that can adjust to how your playing. This would be great because easy is to easy and hard is to hard. Medium is alright, but with the money system it could be improved.

Overall, the game is really good but these small improvements could really boost its popularity, and make it a more enjoyable experience.
