About SLAMMED!
Turn a scripted steel-cage wrestling match into a real fight in this 250,000-word interactive novel!
You've always dreamed of becoming pro wrestling's biggest star...but a wrestler's world is fraught with hardship and betrayal, in and out of the ring. Become a powerhouse, a technician, a high-flier, or focus on your promo skills. There's more than one road to success.
But none of those roads will be easy. This is a world where your biggest fans are your harshest critics; where the front office is more dangerous than the squared circle; where friends can become enemies with a single heel turn; where, sometimes, the only way to win is to lose, spectacularly.
This is professional wrestling. And you're about to change it, forever.
Slammed! is an epic interactive professional-wrestling novel by Paolo Chikiamco, where your choices control the story. The game is entirely text-based--without graphics or sound effects--and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
There's never been a professional wrestling game like this, a game where the outcome of your final match, your choice of opponent, and your relationships affect the ending. When's the last time you played a pro-wrestling RPG with a "kayfabe" stat?--or where your trash-talking "promo" ability is as important as your core strength and wrestling technique?

✦ AI summary
Players are deeply divided on this wrestling-themed interactive fiction game. Fans praise its exceptional storytelling, high replay value, and ability to engage even those unfamiliar with wrestling, comparing it favorably to other acclaimed Choice of Games titles, though some note the romance options feel underdeveloped. Critics find the writing overwrought with wrestling jargon, confusing stat systems that make outcomes feel arbitrary or predetermined, and an overall corny tone that fails to deliver a compelling narrative.
Tell me you don't understand wrestling without telling me you don't understand wrestling. Written by someone who clearly just discovered a pro-wrestling thesaurus and the Wrestling Observer. Reads like a bad recap of a Road To Wrestlemania mode or Russo-Era WCW/TNA show with an even stranger insistence that every major thread somehow be a shoot. Not even worth a second run to see if the other routes are any better. Miserable experience.5 found this helpful
This is the 40th CoG I've played...and it's in the top 10, which is pretty amazing for a CYOA about wrestling. I'm not a fan of wrestling. I don't know much about wrestling, beyond the tv show GLOW. And it doesn't matter because not only does this game surpass the source material, it actually makes me want to watch some wrestling now! The storytelling is truly great in a way vanishingly few games of its kind are and has a LOT of replayability. The only criticism I have is that the romances are its weak aspect, both in terms of quantity and quality. But everything else is superb. If you liked Choice of Robots, Tin Star, Choice of Magic, Tally Ho, etc, you'll love this game.1 found this helpful

You go through a career starting from a collegiate wrestler all the way to the heights of nationwide super stardom. That’s if you can handle the physical, mental, and emotional demands of the industry. Slammed! was a pleasant surprise for me. I’d heard good things about it in passing, but I’ve never been a fan of wrestling. Not really. I had Slammed! on the back-burner of my Choicescript game catalogue for a long time because I just wasn’t enthused about playing an interactive wrestling novel. Which means it really says something that half-way through I was punching the air in excitement and shadow-boxing as I read and imagined the matches playing out in my mind’s eye. PROS: Love of the sport. Chikiamco clearly loves wrestling and it shows. More than that, they have done an incredible job of making that love infectious and spreading it to the reader. I’m no expert, but it all seemed incredibly authentic to what a rising wrestler would …
MY TOXIC YURI MY BEAUTIFUL TOXIC YURI
It's been an entertaining ride, but hot damn if as the protag you don't take a lot of L's in the life aspect of the game. Sometimes I didn't know if I was just making bad choices for the stats that I had high because I didn't quite understand the terminology or if it's just scripted that you sort of are in for a rough time no matter what you pick. Still, very well written and a fun time nonetheless.
Really corny
