This Wrestling RPG Knocked Me Out!

SHOULD I PLAY WRESTLEQUEST? Definitely play it if you’re at all a fan of wrestling games and old-school, turn-based RPGs. WrestleQuest may be a wrestling game, but it plays more like Super Mario RPG than AEW: Fight Forever. I played as (and fought against) action figures inspired by legendary wrestlers—and even ran into some characters officially licensed from wrestlers like “Macho Man” Randy Savage, who’s basically this world’s god. Wrestling plus RPG may seem like a strange mix, but it works beautifully, coming together as a love letter to both the drama of the squared circle and the imagination and adventure of SNES-era role-playing games.

Wrestling and role-playing might seem like a strange combo for the uninitiated, but these are actually two great tastes that go great together! OH YEAH, BROTHER! If you need proof, just check out WrestleQuest, the colorful new RPG from developer Mega Cat Studios. You can see some footage of WrestleQuest above, but it basically casts players as an action figure going on a journey to become the best of the best through turn-based wrestling matches.

I LOVE, and I do mean love, this game. As a long time wrestling fan, I must say this is one of the most successful and enjoyable games I've ever played. From the realism, to the deaths, championship wins, to sometimes experiencing plot twists! The only issue had was that the updates on mobile get a bit delayed. Other than that, amazing time killer.
