Before there was an
Empire
, there was a
Revolution
! It's easy to forget that this was once the biggest 3D wrestling game a mobile could handle, but the old veteran has returned to its desktop roots to enjoy higher resolution visuals with real shadows. There's little that can be done about the creaky frame rate, but there's still plenty to enjoy in the 1st wrestling game to ever make War Games a reality!
This was also my first sim to take you either side of the curtain in ONE epic shared universe - where you can either take shots in the ring as a wrestler or call the shots backstage as a booker! Create your own star and immerse yourself in a world of over 300 others across 9 different promotions, riding the waves of change from one week to the next in an endless schedule of possibilities.
Recalling the genre's 64-bit heyday, the fun comes first with a freestyle animation system that means anything could happen at any moment. The visuals may be behind the times, but the content is ahead of its time - filling the arena with as many wrestlers and interactive weapons as you can handle! The original touch-screen concept has also been specially adapted for controllers to make the action multiplayer for the 1st time.
Fully unlocked as standard, this special PC release grants you access to a comprehensive editor where you can save your changes to all characters and pit them against each other in dream matches of your own creation. As these older games also expose the files, modders can even enjoy changing the textures & sound - so the only limit is your imagination!
