Pro Wrestling X

The genesis of Pro Wrestling X was formed in 2002. Fans of the wrestling game genre were left bitterly disappointed by glitchy, lackluster titles. Dissatisfied gamers found a collective voice online, and one of these voices – Dave Wishnowski – quit his job and set out to make his own wrestling game. After more than 12 years years, the Pro Wrestling X team is still standing and working harder than ever. Here’s a quick rundown of what we believe, where we’ve been, and where we’re going.

It's abandoned in an unfinished state. It's just not good. It's been "in development" for over 20 years now. It's time to face the music, Dave.

This game is decades into being produced and it's still barebones. I bought it not realizing that it was already 10 years into production. I want another wrestling game that serves as an alternative to WWE's 2K and AEW's Fight Forever, but you're not gonna find it here - at least not anytime soon.

A fun work in progress. It's not a big name triple A title, and that works for it. The controls are stiff and take some getting used to, and apparently everyone's head must be made of wrapping paper with how easily they all bleed, but I am enjoying my experience so far. I do hope the devs continue to work on and improve the gameplay mechanics, as well as add in more moves so I'm not stuck with just default moves. If you have the funds to spare and don't mind the roughness of this title, I'd say go for it.

If you like old wrestling games then i suggest that this game is for YOU
Please note that this game was made in 2014 and for it's time its a great game if your not happy with the roster then you can create superstars say for example i made goldberg sure he looks like the TEMU version of him but it's fun.
another note this game does have bugs so if that happens you can report the bugs to the develops.
So yeah i recommend this game to the people who want the old games like shut your mouth and just bring it for the old gaming devices.

I wanted this game to live up to its potential but...
I hate to be this guy but I can't help but be disappointed in this game, like sure the discussion post says don't buy it if you expect a finished game, but Ive owned this game twice now I bought it once at full 9.99 and returned it and then at .99 and I want to see this game succeed but it feels like at this point years later Im allowed to be annoyed that it feels like this game is never going to live up to what it feels like it could. The animations are still slow, the game isnt fluid, the lack of wrestlers is disappointing, the caw system is limited.

I feel like even if it is 2 people working on it, Matt Dickie has been working pretty much alone on his games for decades now literally, GackDaw hasnt released a game really lol but hes still shown a game that looks promising, the new physics based wrestling game that has like ragdoll thats out for wishlist right now is I think also a small team but it also already looks more polished. I mean this game doesn't have PS5/PS4 controller support without using DualsenseX or DS4.

Like I am losing hope greatly that this game is ever going to live up to the potential that it could have. Like it feels like we get updates maybe once a year or twice a year and its never substantial. I purchased this game in 2016, and then refunded it, I then repurchased it in 2021 and it still doesnt feel much different then when I purchased it years ago. At some point, especially going on 10 years of development, saying not to buy a game you expect to be a finished experience doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Like this is a game that I actively don't reccomend people play if they want a good solid wrestling game experience, because its been out for so long and never feels like its really being worked on. Which extra sucks, because again I wanted this to be a good wrestling game.

Its been about 10 years since I made this purchase, but I purchased this with the understanding that the developer would continue to update it to a working game. I know I know, early access buyer beware, HOWEVER! Now this developer is hiding updates behind Patreon donations, and I think that is a bunch of BS! What a scammy crummy developer! OH WE ARE A SMALL TEAM, well, I have seen entire games made by a single person in a fraction of the time this game even gets a small, useless update.
I wanted to like this game so much, and I have waited sooo long, but now, seeing their new BS with Patreon updates, it is clear this is nothing but a TOTAL SCAM! BEWARE!!!!!!!!
Sadly since it has been so long, steam refuses to refund me the few bucks this developer basically STOLE!

The game latest update was this year and you think after a while, some progress would be made since it's release in 2014, right? Well, you'd be wrong. Honestly? If this was still 2014, I'd say the game is going great. But we're not. We're at the end of 2024. Ten years after release and the games has all sorts of issues.

The controls seems fine for the most part since it's using classic directional input and a button command. But sometimes I feel like it is also based of where the character is facing and not the direction I'm inputting. It also doesn't really explain well how to put pressure as I struggle to finish a match with submissions. Also, the create a wrestler feels non existent with majority of the sample wrestler having the same height and there's no color editing for the wrestling gear or logo. What's up with that?

Furthermore the game, while it does warn it is only single-player, you'd think by now they would have cracked multiplayer to mess around with friends. And the blood texture is whack. It ain't placed properly on the wrestler. Let alone it ain't even putting physics properly. If you try to slam opponent on a table or try to hit them when on top of turnbuckle, expect to see a blood texture floating out of nowhere.

This game been out for 10 years, and it still struggles to do what it was set out to do which was replicate old wrestling game fun. I don't know where the developers have been the last 10 years that the recent update was the blood addition. The only fun thing about this game is mostly being able to mindlessly kick and punch and grapple, if you can ignore every other incorrect thing happening around them. Honestly? I would have been fun with the mindless kick and punch, if it was with at least local multiplayer. I'm lucky I got it on a sale. But if you ask me? Save your money. Find something else.

Just wait for Ultra Pro Wrestling. Ive given this game chance after chance after chance to get better. Each update makes me wonder what is even going on.

No clear road map, the game hasnt shown a marginal improvement since 2014.

Theres so many other wrestling games out there. Get fire pro wrestling. Get WWE 2k. Get AEWs game. Try the booking simulators, but do not encourage developers who see 10 years in early access with making the jump from n64 graphics to Gamecube with worse animations as improvement.

Save your time and money

Pro Wrestling X is a hilarious game. Objectively.
Not in the style of Wrestling Empire, though. It's not a crude game but full of absurd scenarios and options that crash into each other.

It's not even intentionally funny, like the Season Modes of the old Smackdown vs Raw games, or the story mode of TNA (which I'm re-evaluating recently, but never mind).

Pro Wrestling X has been in development since THOUSAND AND ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ TWO. Even funnier, development started because Wrestlemania X8, of all the possible WWE games imaginable, was a so-so title, and this guy wanted to create an alternative to the WWE games based off of that.
Oh, if only he had known how much worse things would get...

Anyway, the game was officially released on Steam 12 years later, which is hilarious in itself, after having received 17k on Kickstarter and much more on Patreon, just to add to the hilarity.

As you might have guessed from the tone of this review, the game is a disaster.
The roster is incredibly limited, as is the moveset, the character creation editor, which is bare and does not allow even you to change your stats, the "campaign" consists of 5 matches with no cutscenes or special stipulation, and to top it all off there are not even any settings to change the resolution or lower the graphics performance, to make the frame rate of this game passable on my old ass machine.

As for the fighting mechanics, the controls are STIFF, the command mapping cannot be edited, the moves for each individual wrestler are very few and there is no visual indicator for things like reversal and stamina. Of course, there is also a ton of bugs, both visual and gameplay, some of which can even result in a crash.

Looking at the bigger picture, every component of Pro Wrestling X that seems half-passable is clearly an asset made by someone else that the developer has implemented poorly, while everything else that is bad is something the developer has made up on their own.
If this were one of the thousands of Kickstarter scams out there, though, I wouldn't feel this strongly about this game. What makes it such an object of ridicule for me is the fact that the game is still in development, with frequent updates that add and fix stuff. And yet, ALMOST 10 YEARS AFTER RELEASE ON STEAM, Pro Wrestling X feels like a poorly conceived alpha.

I don't even want to imagine how bad the game was at launch compared to the version I played.

Action Arcade Pro Wrestling, the game I reviewed earlier, despite having to shut down development for understandable reasons before it was finished, in the time it was developed is 10,000 times better. I don't even know how such a thing is possible.

This game had so much potential. I brought the game almost 10 years ago and there's been little to no improvement. I hope they'll prove me wrong but i was like 9 or 10 when I got the game and I'm an adult now... it's still as clunky as it was when I was younger. it's kinda sad.

As a big fan of Wrestling games including both new and old; I've always considered games like [b]WWF No Mercy[/b], [b]WWF Wrestlemania 2000[/b], [b]WWF Attitude[/b], [b]WCW/nWo Revenge[/b] [etc...] to always be a classic fun to just hop onto and do a couple of matches, weither it'd be a classic 1v1, sometimes 2v2's and just many more that these classic games came with at the time and just enjoy beating up wrestlers and pin-falling to victory! With more of games like [b]Pro Wrestling X[/b], [b]Wrestling Empire[/b], [b]AEW: Fight Forever[/b] (<-- still need to play), and other titles out there that go for the style that [b]THQ[/b] and [b]AKI Corporation[/b] style from previous mentioned titles [not WWF Attitude obviously] once had, surely it would be somewhat hard to recapture to how WWE games felt like before the Smackdown Series' and Smackdown Vs. Raw Series, right?

Well, Yes and No.

While [b]Pro Wrestling X[/b] is still an [b]Early Access Game[/b], It's far from perfect but it's not a terrible game either; while I got somewhat of a good feel experience with this game like the good ol' days; Some bugs do make this game more frustrating than actually have fun with it cause of either that reason alone and/or the really awkward and stiffness controls this game often has a problem with tends to make me play it less and less and stick to more other wrestling titles out there. But the idea is there and I like the devs are still working on this game, so it's not like it was ditched or abandoned unlike most half-baked games

So what are the things I liked about this game?:

- Creation Mode is pretty interesting but feel is very limited, especially since there are some moves that certain wrestlers use the said moves but don't exsist or can't make due to limitations of CAW features, attire, hair options, But it's decent enough!

- Moves seem pretty good while some you would recognize from older titles; Some new ones are introduced here. so this one is a positive

- In terms of gameplay from beginning to end on wrestling, this is pretty close to the older titles. and the HUD gives that feel too and pretty straight forward of what to do.

- Some of the Wrestlers that some that are in the base game are either a reference or tribute to real-life wrestler, most recognizable for me is Hayabusa as Falcon [my 2nd fav next to Undertaker being #1]

-------------------------------
Now what are the things I didn't like?:
Hear me out, This game [b]IS[/b] in [b]Early Access[/b] as previously mentioned but I would still like to point out some flaws with this game

- The stiffness and really bad delay on the controls are the most frustrating to fight with. often times i see myself getting wrecked by the Bot who uses the same move over and over, and because my inputs are heavily delay based and not on-point, I find myself getting defeated, which in fairness I think Bot suffers from this too

- Speaking of Stiffness; Menu feels very delayed when going through anything in the menu, sometimes my inputs get eaten up for little to no reason despite me using my d-pad or my joystick to move through the menu, it's somewhat annoying. not sure why.

- Animations while some are good, I find some animation like the weak and strong grapples standing take way too long before you can even move again, even after you get up from a move you pulled, it only takes 2-3 seconds before you can suddenly move again when the animation is done, And playing the older titles while experiencing this to make sure im not going crazy, it defiently wasn't like that before, so it feels really weird to wait for the frame/animation to be done before i can move again even after standing up from a move. [and im sure the Devs are fixing this issue]

- Too many bugs like weapons randomly flying, or table just flips when hitting the collision even when it's not even setted up, jumping from a turnbuckle to fall right through the ring, and probably more that I haven't encountered yet

- Creation Mode while i said the on the good side, I will say that it really is lack lusting, Hair options, attires, Gloves, and some new/old moves from previous titles.

- Championship Mode near the end is buggy as all hell

- Why is there no grapple reversals? odd choice to remove them cause Reverals puts more of a challenge to both the player and computer players, cause then you just spam the same moves over and over and it'll be over less than 5 minutes.

Would I still recommend this game? Of course, But I would wait on a sale cause if you're expecting much from this game, you will be very disapointed. But to say this game is bad; I would somewhat disagree.

and I get that this game is running on Unity Engine, So I imagine programming or making games on Unity isn't as easy and can be challenging,

But I still see potential with this game, just need to be ironed out more imo.

But hey! just my opinion: If you still like this game for what it is, That's great! you got more enjoyment out of it compared to me. and if you didn't like this game; perfectly understandable.

I really wanted to love this game. Been interested since the beginning. They were nice enough to give me a free copy and I have to sadly say I'm extremely disappointed. The gameplay is absolutely terrible and clunky. I also couldn't even get through my first match because the game crashed. For the insane amount of time this game has been being developed, this is just sad that they are so so far from having a real game.

UPDATE: Still trash and honestly likely abdondonware at this point. It might as well be as they clearly were never commited to ever actually having an actual game. I honestly believe this was NEVER anything more than a way to get money from nostalgia. Yes I received it for free and at first I was greatful, but honestly, the time I lost trying to enjoy what absolutely could never be enjoyed, I still feel like I overpayed, with my time.

+ Good enough game graphics and design
+ Lots of options on the way the character move.
+ Lots of objects to select and use.

- Its like a bare bone game
- WWE Smackdown vs Raw(2007) is much more better than this game in terms of game-play.
- The game has a lot of potential. Only if the developers work more on the games game-play than the design and stuff.

La historia detrás de este "juego" es más fascinante que el mismo. Este juego ya lleva casi 10 años en desarrollo (y más de 10 si contamos el fiasco de Pro Wrestling X Uprising). Este juego fue parte de una campaña exitosa en Kickstarter en el 2014 y prometían que en octubre de 2015 saldría oficialmente, de hecho en la información todavía se puede leer que en esa fecha van a lanzar la versión 1.0, la cual si lanzaron, pero que como pueden observar sigue siendo "beta" y estoy siendo muy generoso al llamarla así, en aquel entonces no había habido un lanzamiento de juegos de lucha libre desde el WWE Raw del 2002 o el Wrestling Mpire del 2008, ambos juegos que francamente dejaban mucho que desear, al contrario de ahora que tenemos muchas más opciones y variedad para todos los gustos, de hecho si no hubiera sido por el juego de AEW ni me hubiera recordado que tenia este juego en mi biblioteca. Además este juego prometía ser como el WWF No Mercy, considerado hasta el día de hoy como el mejor juego de lucha libre.

En fin, desde su lanzamiento los creadores se la han pasado dando toda clase de excusas y realizando decisiones cuestionables como hacerse un patreon después de gastarse lo reunido en Kickstarter y que solo quienes estén suscritos pueden jugar las actualizaciones, hacer promesas que nunca cumplieron como mejorar los menús y hacerlos ver como que fueran panfletos viejos de lucha libre.

Al momento de escribir esta reseña estoy en la versión 1.25 y apenas y es diferente de la versión del 2015. Yo NO catalogaría este juego como una estafa porque si han habido actualizaciones y si se puede apreciar que hay esfuerzo detrás, más bien este juego es victima de ser un proyecto sin dirección y realizado por gente que no tenía ni idea de en que se estaban metiendo.

Lo más triste de todo es ver que el juego tiene potencial el cual posible nunca alcance. Las gráficas son decentes, el diseño de los luchadores es muy bueno sin ser copias baratas de luchadores reales como 5 Star Wrestling, tiene buena música, muchas animaciones de movimientos, los carteles son graciosos, en fin, es una lastima que tenga que darle una mala calificación, pero no pienso seguir esperando otros 10 años.

I was watching some newLEGACYinc and I came across a video of this game. I remembered seeing the Pro Wrestling X: Uprising beta over a decade ago, then seeing the Youtube channel for the game, seeing the Kickstarter a couple years later, then I pretty much just forgot about this game. I went to look to see the state of this game today on Steam, only to see that... I own the game? And that I have since 2019 and that I bought it for a dollar? Zero recollection of this, but alright. So I boot up the game...

...and it seems that a game that was put in early access in 2014 has made almost zero progress since it was first placed there. I honestly don't want to bash this - I was going to type I don't want to bash "this game," but it doesn't even feel like a game. It doesn't even feel like a tech demo for a game. It feels like someone started attempting to make an AKI clone in Unity, spent two weeks on it, binned it and put it on Steam as Early Access, then never touched it again.

I have absolutely zero clue how, as of February 23, 2023, there are just shy of ONE THOUSAND newsletter posts for this. There's essentially no gameplay, no AI, no content, very few working game mechanics(strikes and grapples will usually connect, permitting your controller or keyboard input is actually registered by the game; often, it isn't). Normally I would say it's not fair to bring up that it has eight almost identical wrestlers and a bunch of CAW slots with very few actual CAW options for appearance, 20 front grapple moves, like 6 rear grapple moves, three light strikes, four heavy strikes, and one, MAYBE two moves in any other given scenario, but this game made over $17k on Kickstarter and has been on early access for EIGHT AND A HALF YEARS as of today. And before anyone tries to make a "one-man crew" argument: Any MDickie wrestling game was a one-man zero-budget job, and those are not only actually playable games, but they're also FUN.

Rather than continuing to ramble, I'll just summarize: There is essentially no game here. I won't say it's a scam; I don't think it is. I think it's someone that has a ton of ideas that is endlessly in the brainstorming stage and WANTS to make a game, but is completely absent of the ability or the means of which to make even a functional wrestling game, let alone a playable and enjoyable one. When there's been this little progress in eight and a half years since this entered Early Access on Steam, with the game being more functional six years ago than it is today, this is not worth even dropping a dollar on, nor the 1.5GB of space it will take up on your computer for the 5-15 minutes you'll attempt to play this.

Sure the Game is glitchy/buggy, the Edit Mode is still very basic and compared to the Version that I bought over a year ago it kinda annoys me that the Entrances & Multi-Man Matches were removed
But I like the Gameplay even though it could be improved and made better
My Suggestions for future Updates:
-Return of Multi-Man Matches & Entrances
-Improved Edit Move (i.e. more Moves, more Clothes etc)
-Improved Gameplay
-New Matchtypes
-New Wrestlers
-Fix the AI
-Add new BGM
-Add some Stuff from Smackdown SYM & HCTP
-Add new Arenas/Rings
-Add new Game Modes
I hope you Guys like what I had to say and what I suggested :)

I bought it back when it was one dollar and I still feel ripped off, they have made hardly any progress in development therefore I cannot recommend this game to anyone.

These guys got in way over their heads trying to make this game. I tried to support them even joined their patreon. They are not dedicated to game making. I have created a visual novel game, started working on another game plus wrote a book and they still don't have this game done. I feel bad for people who invested in this game

I love playing wrestling games. I love playing INDIE wrestling games. I love new takes on wrestling games. I even still love buggy wrestling games.

What I will give this game is that I appreciate that it goes for a very different aesthetic than a lot of other wrestling games, and that it seems to TRY to be reaching a more hardcore audience, which I've always felt has been under represented in recent video games. I'm not a deathmatch fan, but I thought that might be where this game was trying to go.

The problem with this game isn't the fact that it is a buggy mess. It's that it has no content. The moveset is next to nothing. You can't choose your match type. All the wrestlers are the same size and type of wrestler. One match is no different from the next unless it randomly generates a type of match.

Normally I would give an alpha a break, but when you've been working on this game for 8 years, and still "selling" it to people, you should flesh out the core content of the game. There was a new arena added in October of 2021, but still there are MINIMAL moves to do. No entrances. No match selection.

I really wanted to enjoy my time playing this game, but I simply could not.

This is the worst wrestling game i've ever played. The create a wrestler is the most bare bones creator I've ever seen, you get to choose from like 5 parts per category. The color change doesn't even work, and the only shoes I could choose that didnt clip through the pants, the left shoe was see through. There is no quick match. Just championship and there are no entrances in it. I didn't even care enough to play a match by that point. I'm glad this game is in early access, I'll try it again after leaving it and see how it is.

Definitely a lot of potential & some fun to be had, but a lot more work needs to be done before it's ready for official release. Looks & feels pretty good for an indie game. This is from a purely gameplay perspective, I have not tried any of the creative aspects which do look good, but you should really be focusing on the gameplay. The same few moves over & over again isn't very fun & a tutorial would be nice because I still had trouble even after reading the controls.

I got a code for this game for free to add context. I understand why the people who bought the game years ago are unhappy.

At this point even with some major updates this game is still unfortunately unplayable. Grapples don't work half the time and everything just seems broken.

Avoid this. As a lifelong pro wrestling fan and gamer, pro wrestling video games have been a huge part of my life. I've played them all. This is among the worst I've ever played. Mind you ... I waited LITERAL YEARS before I wrote this review. Hoping and assuming that more polish and content would arrive from a small team, but almost no progress has been made at all. If anything, it may have gotten worse of the years. I think this game hit steam in like 2014 (?) and as I type this its Mid Sept 2021... and the game still is not anywhere near finished. I bought this because the developer described it as a passion project and a homage to the glory days of the N64 wrestling games (Virtual Pro/WWF No Mercy) but this is anything but that. Do yourself a favor, take the money you would've spent on this and buy FirePro World instead.

I’ve been testing this since the beginning, not going to talk about price because I bought it early on, it’s not bad, with a spot to tell controls would be great, don’t know how to pin, since the update, it would also be nice if opponents had more recovery time.. example opponent is bloody and I miss or hit a top top move he gets up first wth but I ended up using submission so it wasn’t all lost, haven’t played since getting stuck in scaffolding match in championship run, be cooler if there were titles in an exhibition mode, similar to no mercy, also falcon”new character “ looks cool as hell, a bigger roster would be cool but I see there are creation slots, another issue I have is player getting up quicker but sorta goes along with recovery issue.

In short it’s a good idea and not a terrible game as some might say, just still needs a bit of polishing and work, entrances and more match types would be cool, blood system is pretty cool it actually stays on the mat, and the graphics as nice looking I didn’t encounter many glitches, only a couple times the character bounced from one area but popped up at the other side of the ring nothing game breaking a lil off but not enough to make you mad, but for a 2.00 or free game I really can’t complain, however like I said I bought early on before the developer started giving free versions to try.

So in short I’d recommend giving it a go if your a fan of aki engine games especially if it’s free still. Or if it’s a couple bucks, I know I’ve spent 2.00 on worse things in life.

Developer is doing there best and it’s not a full time gig for them, so be patient with them, and not insult or bash something someone is putting work into for others enjoyment. Thanks for working so hard on it, they have been upfront about the details of it being a work in progress and for small group of creators it’s not bad as showdown legends of wrestling, an folks praise it like it’s some hidden gem.... it’s not it

Look... I get the fact that this game is made by one person, but the Steam store shows that it's been in early access for just under seven years... I bough the game for .99 cents this week and feel like I was ripped off... I'm not going to refund the game but I am kind of in shock that this game has been "worked" on for almost seven years...

I have played other games by one dev and while they had issues, they still had a lot of potential and were fun such as games like Shaolin Vs Wutang 1& 2 and other games in other genres by a single dev as well. I just don't see any potential in this game and the current product is downright terrible, anyone on the fence about this one should save their dollar or give it to a charity so they don't waste it on this...

I don't want to go into too much detail about the game itself but there is so little content and what's here is a very slow-paced wrestling game that's as glitched as can be and unfortunately is no fun at all...

I'll check up on the game in another 14 to 15 years, because it's been seven years and is barely playable, maybe in 15 years or more or after 21-22 plus years of development, I can get some form of entertainment and enjoyment out of it... But as for now, I've wasted the dollar and wish I had given it to charity...

Prove me wrong dev, prove me wrong. I'd love for you to get the last laugh and I will pray to see the day that you can have a game that reminds us of the glory days of wrestling games like No Mercy as you mentioned, but this game is nothing like that game yet... I just showed this game to the AKI devs from back in the day that made No Mercy and they all did a facepalm simultaneously.

Came back to this 4 years later. july of 2025. Game is still a horrid turd. Dave should be ran over with a car. Absolute scam artist. Game is just now BARELY playable. Not fun. you can have a match but theres glitches left and right. AI is horrible, collision detection wiht tables is pretty much non existent. Just warp through tables like they arent even there. Awful ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

**below is my review in july of 2021**
I bought this "game" for 8 dollars back in December of 2015. It is currently July of 2021. Still not finished. It is nowhere near finished. Absolutely rediculous to still look like an early Alpha build 5 years later. I looked into the history of the game and apparently it has been being worked on since 2005. Dirtbag Dave, the scumbag behind this "game", held a kickstarter back in 2014/2015. He has apparently ripped thousands of people off. At this point, he is either an absolute scammer whos taking advantage of people and ripping them off, or he is such an absolute moron that has zero clue on how to make a game. Stay far away from this pile of hot garbage. I am in the process of trying to get a refund. I hope Dave gets run over by a car, multiple times.

I got this for $1. I think it's worth $1. I played the Scaffold Match, Chamber of Hell, Cage Match, and Hardcore Match. i did have fun. The ragdoll physics are quite entertaining. I powerbombed ol' buddy off 3 story entrance stage, which is bad ass that it's even possible, and it looked awesome as he bounced off the lower stage with his neck TO THE ConCRETE FLOOORRR!!! OH MY GOOOOOODDD!!!! BUT... the general game mechanics are trash, and should be focused on before more match types. Match types are awesome, but not if the gameplay sucks. Look at ECW Anarchy Rulez for ps1. It was trash. The developers should focus on the general gameplay that a wrestling game needs, before worrying about gimmicks matches. HOWEVER!!! If you're going to add another gimmick match..Ladder Match, Barbed-Wire Match...just saying... I love the bloodshed, and the physics of when you throw someone through the cell and off the top of the stage. That was very entertaining. Ol' Buddy went through the corner part of the cell, and bounced off the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ turnbuckle post!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!! BUY IT FOR $1!! Even if you only play it once...Innovate some Violence!!

Edit: I would like to add that the change-focus button also acts as a pause button...when there is another button for pause...so both buttons pause, but one changes focus on another character. Also, I use a PS4 controller, and the 1st and 2nd time I played, the circle and square buttons switched roles. The moveset is also very limited. Very...Limited... I feel like the moves and mechanics should be the most important features, while these developers seem to think match-types are more important. The matches suck if i can only do 5 moves the whole time, and they're glitchy! Fix the mechanics, and you'll have a BAD ASS wrestling game!

The jank factor is high with this one. Updates are not there...after years and years of playing too slow, it finally works at the proper speed, but the hit detection between the models are really awkward, sometimes obvious hits go right through, sometimes obvious misses are attracted like a magnet depending on the engine's mood. The move list is beyond lacking, all the wrestlers feel the same, and for that matter, look the same, too.

The one thing positive I have to say about it...it does really represent modern wrestling well. You can do flips off the tops of cages, and fall through the Hell in the Cell and all that flashy crap...but can you even throw a good looking wrestling punch? (Pro-tip! The answer is no. Maybe a few more leg slaps would improve it!)

Дайте игрокам доступ к ресурсам и разрешите делать моды! Мы слишком долго ждем!

В самой игре анимация движений прерывается резко. Понимаю, что создавать анимацию сложно, но это нельзя оставить без внимая, ведь рестлинг - это движение! А в целом - удачи в разрабоке!)

After many years of development, this game is ... terrible. The movesets only work sporadically - there is no consistently. I may work and work and work to try to orient my wrestler towards another, only to fail miserably and have them eventually grapple me. Since the moves aren't listed anywhere, and certain keys/buttons only produce certain results inconsistently, I'm not sure how to even begin practicing maneuvers. I tried to pin a downed opponent once, but I don't know how I did it - I've been pressing every button on my controller while over a downed opponent, with no luck. The physics are wacky - a wrestler may fall down at one end of the ring, only to suddenly appear at the other. All of my matches so far have ended in draws due to time limits - nothing works consistently enough to finish a match. I may punch an opponent ten times in a row to no apparent effect, before the opponent clotheslines me and does damage. Furthermore, all of the wrestlers look basically the same, with only a couple of superficial differences. I'm very disappointed.
