WrestleQuest

I'm a pro wrestling fan and I'm enjoying this game! So many references throughout that shows attention to detail and the story mode has moments of humor and depth for your characters. The rpg mechanics are fun with the buffs and debuffs that happen. And calling on legends to help you out is so cool. The various environments have their own thing going on. Only complaint is some of the minigames (the jump one, etc) are difficult to manuever for me. Thankfully, you can skip them to get back to the story. Edit: Finished the game! The ending pays off so well with Brink and Randy's connecting paths. Definitely recommend!

Just a fun, hilarious take on the classic RPG. The crazy story and colorful visuals will grip you, regardless of whether you're a fan or professional wrestling or not.

I love the idea of WrestleQuest but everything about it is just tediously slow. I got about an hour and a half into the campaign. There are a lot of fun wrestling jokes in here but that's the only memorable thing so far. You can't create a wrestler, you have to go with a pre-made wrestler. You also change wrestlers in the story for some reason. The first character has a bit of a backstory but the second just jumps right into a match which through me off. My big issue is how slow everything feels. This game is clearly designed for hardcore wrestling fans and hardcore JRPG fans. If you fit into that small Venn Diagram, you'll probably really appreciate this game. However, there's a lot of dialogue to tell a story where seemingly nothing happens in. When you finally get to the matches, it's very slow paced. The game teaches you to treat each match like a wrestling match. You want to do things to hype up the crowd but so far, I found no benefit and it only slows things down further from actually finishing the match over just throwing standard attacks out there. The matches really drag. You can't skip the animations, they have button prompts to give extra damage but the timer is so l…

This game wins on the vibe it sets alone. It calls back to the days gone past when personality is what made a game stand out amongst its peers and this game has personality in spades. The art style is fantastic the story is fun and worth following and the combat is involved and its always fun to see what a new move will look like.

Epic sauce.

Take your time and read every single line you can find. It's made with a lot of love, and a lot of fun tongue-in-cheek or hidden easter eggs for wrestleheads. Kayfabe is back. Toy Story but for your Wrestling Fantasies. The "game" aspect is fun, and simple enough to not worry too much about playing perfectly - it's a 10/10 for theme and writing.
