Pros
- In WE, Hollywood is a special promo that literally represents wrestlers being hired for film/TV, so the pay is great, and it can boost your popularity through the roof.
- I'm a big wrestling fan and that game is the GOAT. Really, nothing else touches the "Anything Can Happen" nature of the medium quite like it, plus it touches on so many aspects of the industry that 2K never would.
- The thing I like about this game is that it (mostly) scratches my itch for late-90's wrestling game nostalgia. ... This game looks the part, has the cartoonish energy that wrestling had before Vince McMahon decided to turn it into "famil...
- This is one of the strangest and most addictive games I may have ever played. At face value, it looks nearly unplayable, but once you get into it, it hooks you. There is logic to the madness.
- My favourite aspect of Wrestling Empire is that you can elect anything as your FINISHER....including the TEST OF STRENGTH
Cons
- I just wish it was a flat fee for the Android version and not the $4/year subscription I will never sign up for.
- I absolutely hate this game lol. I’m fine with all the ridiculousness of it but the tutorial is total garbage. You mentioned submissions in your post but the tutorial doesn’t even teach you how to submit an opponent or escape a submissio...
- I will never play this game ever again because it's dreadful lmao
- Wrestling Empire is simultaneously the best AND worst wrestling game ever made... Wrestling Empire is a mass of contradictions, made by an absolute madman of a solo dev on a 20+ year quest to create the greatest N64 wrestling game in his...
- to say that Wrestling Empire is a "janky game" is understating the issue by orders of magnitude. Wrestling Empire is jank piled upon jank piled upon jank piled upon jank until the sheer jankitudinal forces cause it to collapse into a sem...

This game looks the part, has the cartoonish energy that wrestling had before Vince McMahon decided to turn it into "family entertainment", and the controls are more responsive than they were on Nintendo 64.
I absolutely hate this game lol. I’m fine with all the ridiculousness of it but the tutorial is total garbage. You mentioned submissions in your post but the tutorial doesn’t even teach you how to submit an opponent or escape a submission properly.

It was cheap, harked back to the N64 wrestling games that everyone loved... Took a punt. Genuinely could not put it down for months!
The moves that happen in this game are amazing as well. Like, you throwing an opponent at the ref, only for the ref to catch them and hit them with a suplex. I own the game on both PC and Switch. I just wish it was on PS5 so I could play it with my friends there.
