About this game

The original 2D wrestling game that started a mobile revolution - now celebrating over 30 MILLION downloads!

It harks back to the genre's 16-bit heyday where the fun comes first, and the versatile animation system means that anything could happen at any moment - with as many wrestlers in the ring as your device can handle! Create your own star and embark on an endless career full of possibilities, as you attempt to make the right moves backstage as well as in the ring. Or simply blow off steam in "Exhibition" matches of your own creation - where YOU make the rules, pick the players, and design the arena! Upon turning "Pro", your editing privileges even extend to saving your changes to all 350 characters across 9 rosters.

Ratings and reviews

So I just re-downloaded WR after playing it many times. Great game, and I went ahead and got the paid version this time. Unfortunately I can't seem to name a custom character like before. I've selected a wrestler to change, get to the edit menu, I'm able to alter everything else, but when I try and change the name it brings up the keyboard on my phone and nothing I type shows on screen. There isn't any haptic feedback when I hit letters. Hitting enter does nothing and the name stays the same.

This is an amazing game. It has a lot of replayability with the exhibition, match types, different career modes, and interactions with other characters which is why my career is in its 13th year. I would like to see scheduling matches with other wrestlers as a feature as well as the more in-depth customization of the more recent mobile games. I do enjoy the blood but I believe adding blood to the other parts of the body would make extreme matches that much more extreme.

My cousin downloaded this for me many years ago and to this day this is one of my favorite developers. The game offers much variety and different potential outcomes depending on how you perform and the choices you make. The customization isn't stellar but is passable and beyond the vast majority of games. The controls are great for a mobile game, offering simplicity while having control. The appearance of the game can be a turn off for some but once used to it, it feels like any other game.10/10
