    Legend Bowl is a fantastic retro-infused football game with a host of fan-friendly ideas that truly shows the passion of its one-man development team.

    Fun (but difficult) arcade gameplay, cool 8-bit retro aesthetic, a franchise mode that borders on simulation, and surprisingly deepFun (but difficult) arcade gameplay, cool 8-bit retro aesthetic, a franchise mode that borders on simulation, and surprisingly deep customization make Legend Bowl the best American football game available on Nintendo Switch. This says less about the game, and more about the lacking landscape of simulation style football games though.

    UPDATE: After playing more, there's definitely some bugs in the gameplay that should be ironed out on Switch. I had played an entire game, only for it to freeze at the end, and then crash entirely. After spending time with the game, it's a lot more fun to create a team and simulate season games, than actually playing games, just in my opinion. The options and customization are great, the actual football is just okay. Dropping my score from an 8 to a 7 for now.

I would've given it a 5 if i would've stayed at original difficulty so some advice is to start at lowest and figure it out and then go up from there. I'm basing my review on gameplay only. Hoping the Franchise edition is solid as well. Full Review »
