Pro Wrestling X

it needs woman divas added

I really wanted to love this game. Been interested since the beginning. They were nice enough to give me a free copy and I have to sadly say I'm extremely disappointed. The gameplay is absolutely terrible and clunky. I also couldn't even get through my first match because the game crashed. For the insane amount of time this game has been being developed, this is just sad that they are so so far from having a real game. UPDATE: Still trash and honestly likely abdondonware at this point. It might as well be as they clearly were never commited to ever actually having an actual game. I honestly believe this was NEVER anything more than a way to get money from nostalgia. Yes I received it for free and at first I was greatful, but honestly, the time I lost trying to enjoy what absolutely could never be enjoyed, I still feel like I overpayed, with my time.

I don't even know how long it's been since I watch this project, probably before 2008... When we get the full game?

Im Lovin it

This is an excellent game focuses on sim-style wrestling combined with an arcade feel.

Pro Wrestling X is a hilarious game. Objectively. Not in the style of Wrestling Empire, though. It's not a crude game but full of absurd scenarios and options that crash into each other. It's not even intentionally funny, like the Season Modes of the old Smackdown vs Raw games, or the story mode of TNA (which I'm re-evaluating recently, but never mind). Pro Wrestling X has been in development since THOUSAND AND ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ TWO. Even funnier, development started because Wrestlemania X8, of all the possible WWE games imaginable, was a so-so title, and this guy wanted to create an alternative to the WWE games based off of that. Oh, if only he had known how much worse things would get... Anyway, the game was officially released on Steam 12 years later, which is hilarious in itself, after having received 17k on Kickstarter and much more on Patreon, just to add to the hilarity. As you might have guessed from the tone of this review, the game is a disaster. The roster is incredibly limited, as is the moveset, the character creation editor, which is bare and does not allow even you to change your stats, the "campaign" consists of 5 matches with no cutscenes or special stipulation, and to top it all off there are not even any settings to change the resolution or lower the graphics performance, to make the frame rate of this game passable on my old ass machine. As for the fighting mechanics, the controls are STIFF, the command mapping cannot be edited, the moves for each individual wrestler are very few and there is no visual indicator for things like reversal and stamina. Of course, there is also a ton of bugs, both visual and gameplay, some of which can even result in a crash. Looking at the bigger picture, every component of Pro Wrestling X that seems half-passable is clearly an asset made by someone else that the developer has implemented poorly, while everything else that is bad is something the developer has made up on their own. If this were one of the thousands of Kickstarter scams out there, though, I wouldn't feel this strongly about this game. What makes it such an object of ridicule for me is the fact that the game is still in development, with frequent updates that add and fix stuff. And yet, ALMOST 10 YEARS AFTER RELEASE ON STEAM, Pro Wrestling X feels like a poorly conceived alpha. I don't even want to imagine how bad the game was at launch compared to the version I played. Action Arcade Pro Wrestling, the game I reviewed earlier, despite having to shut down development for understandable reasons before it was finished, in the time it was developed is 10,000 times better. I don't even know how such a thing is possible.
