New Star Games, the studio behind hits like New Star Soccer, Retro Goal, and Retro Bowl, has launched another gem in the retro sports genre with Retro Slam Tennis. This latest addition to their portfolio showcases their knack for transforming sports into captivating pixel-art experiences.
Retro Slam Tennis isn't just about volleying the ball across the net; it's a comprehensive journey from the grassroots to the pinnacle of the sport. Players can compete on various surfaces including hard, clay, and grass courts, while also managing their training schedules and personal lives.
In the game, you have the opportunity to hire coaches, tackle their challenges, maintain relationships with friends and family, and pursue sponsorships. If you're feeling flush, you can even indulge in some luxury purchases. And when the pressure mounts, a can of NRG can give you the boost you need to keep going.
One of the standout features of Retro Slam Tennis is its social media component. In today's digital age, winning matches isn't enough; you also need to keep your followers engaged. This RPG element allows your choices to significantly influence your career trajectory.
Published by Five Aces Publishing and developed by New Star Games, Retro Slam Tennis initially hit iOS regionally in July 2024. Now, it's available globally on Android and is free to play, carrying the same nostalgic charm as Retro Bowl and Retro Goal.
Simon Read, the founder of New Star Games, explains that the game follows a formula similar to New Star Soccer, blending arcade-style mechanics with a light-hearted simulation of an athlete's career.
If you're a fan of sports games, you can check out Retro Slam Tennis on the Google Play Store.
