Reception
Nintendo Life wrote: "Retro Goal is a distinctively light and fun take on football, coming at a budget price and having enough depth and charm to get players hooked. It has a stylish look and will raise a smile among enthusiasts; in fact, the only way it fails to match its brilliant predecessor — Retro Bowl — is in the gameplay department." They later included the game on their list of best football games on the Switch. 148Apps summarized: "Retro Goal is a satisfying mix of arcade soccer action and light management strategy." Multiplayer.it liked the gameplay and said the retro-style graphics and sound are excellent although they criticized the lack of animations and the reuse of game assets. Defector concluded: "Players of Football Manager will find Retro Goal to be a bit basic, but those looking for a phone distraction will find themselves successfully distracted." TechRadar included Retro Goal on their list of best sports games for iPad. Pocket Gamer included the game on their list of top 25 football games for Android.
