Wrestling Spirit 3

Personally couldn't get into it. I rather just actually play out the wrestling.

Wrestling Spirit 3 is an addicting game playing off an enticing concept. But it's also terribly balanced, dry, and overpriced. When the game works, there's a niche audience who would enjoy it (that's me!), but the constant crashing kills an already middling experience. ...As my playtime clearly shows, I still kind of like this game; I'm a masochist like that. But nothing makes me use my safe word quite like "Run-time error '3021': No current record". EDIT: I should probably explain better. There's a bug in this game, I think(?) it's exclusive to the Steam version, that crashes the game in the middle of wrestling matches (the main part of the game). GDS has never supported this game on Steam, and in 2025, they don't support the game at all. I don't necessarily blame them, especially over a decade since this game's release. But given the game-breaking bug, which to my knowledge has been documented on Steam for nearly a decade, it's very frustrating. So, to rephrase my initial review, if you dodge the bug, WreSpi3 is good, nerdy fun. But, the fact that you have to dodge an often unavoidable error to play the game is so absurd, it kind of trumps any good qualities the game has.

This is a hardcore simulation game, meaning that it only has a lot of boxes, button and text. And that would be fine if the rules were 100% optimized and working, but unfortunately too many things are decided randomly. Not fun at all.

This game is not very good. Every other compliant you see here has a point. I love it anyway.

TEW2005 is freeware, its honestly better in my opinion.

not good
