Watch “Retrograde Review | Classic Arcade Brought to the Tabletop,” a board game review for Retrograde from Roll For Crit on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Roll For Crit on YouTube:
It's time to blast some aliens in this roll and write based on the classic space shoot 'em ups from long ago! Roll your dice and try to match the right aliens to cards in the center in order to lock in on your targets and take them out! However, don't be slow! Every player will be rolling at the same time, frantically trying to get the right dice for the card they need. If you take too long, you may miss out on the power-up you needed to stop this invasion!

About Retrograde, from BoardGameGeek:
Retrograde is a real-time roll-and-write inspired by classic 80s arcade games.
Evil Astrodroids are invading earth. Grab the joystick and blast as many as you can. Can you get the high score?
Each round, roll your dice as fast as you can. Race to roll combos shown on the target cards, claim the best card, and spend your dice to put the ‘Droids on your sheet out of commission. Be fast, or an opponent might beat you to the card you want. If you're the last player without a card, you can only reroll 2 more times before you're stuck with what you rolled.
Depending on the card you choose, you'll collect Coins and power-ups. Blast entire columns of 'Droids to destroy bosses for bonus points. Blast rows of 'Droids to unlock the power-ups you collect.
