    WrestleQuest quite honestly feels like a love-letter to professional wrestling. Not only does it feature an absurd level of fan service, especially for fans of classic wrestling, but it also manages to tell fun and interesting stories about the nature of the pro-wrestling business, all wrapped up in a wonderful aesthetic that manages to offer the perfect balance between the game’s serious moments and the more comedic bits. Throw on top a simple-but-robust RPG system that rewards understanding the ebb and flow of a typical wrestling match, and you get one of the most interesting takes on the wrestling medium in video game form out there.    … Expand

    WrestleQuest busca brindar una experiencia muy diferente para lo que suele explorar la lucha libre en los juegos. En general suele ir por el buen camino aunque tiene algunos detalles que lo hacen quedarse algo corto. Si bien la jugabilidad es divertida en un principio, mecánicas como el presionar un botón para hacer o recibir más daño resulta en combates más lentos.

Otro detalle como el poco farmeo puede dificultar las cosas y reducir la variedad en el juego. Aún con ello, resulta una buena experiencia que es un poco complicada de recomendar; lo digo porque si bien cualquiera puede disfrutar de ella, está claro que los fans de la lucha libre lo disfrutarán más. Podríamos decir que es una experiencia que no es para todos. Aún así, vale la pena darle una oportunidad.

    Even with the insanely boring story and dialogue, this game has some pretty good gameplay. If you can reach the point (around 2-3 hours) where the game actually starts to allow you to venture out on your own, the game gets much better, but before that time, it really drags heavily. If you can get adjusted to the quick QTEs and having to waste turns on pinning, the combat system is actually quite good. The hype system is one of the best parts of the combat system. If you can gain enough hype to build the meter all the way, each battle becomes much more fun. Boss battles are also a lot of fun and a good challenge as well. WrestleQuest is definitely a long RPG with a lot of content (side quests, main quests, hidden items). WrestleQuest is worth a try for fans of JRPGs if you’re in it for the long run. If you’re expecting quick amusement however, this game really takes a while to get good.

    A cute novelty which plays heavily into its professional wrestling influence at the cost of lasting gameplay. Although not a bad title itself, there’s potential greatness bubbling just below the surface, struggling to break through and catch a breath.

    It’s well worth a look for any wrestling or JRPG fan. With WWE and AEW mostly focusing on making simulation and sports-based titles, WrestleQuest has the kind of creativity and innovation that makes the wrestling world so special, and we desperately need more of it.
