00:00 If you grew up during the absolute wrestling craze of the 80s and 90s, remember having
00:05 a big ol' box of action figures and happened to love the aesthetic of pixel art games,
00:10 you're in luck.
00:11 WrestleQuest is a nostalgic pixelated RPG set in the world of retro toys where wrestling
00:16 is king.
00:17 According to DualShockers, the game places you in the wrestling boots of two action figures
00:21 who resemble but are legally distinct from pro wrestling legends Randy "Macho Man"
00:27 Savage and Bret "The Hitman" Hart, as well as the various other action figures and plushies
00:32 that make up their respective stables.
00:34 Even if you have no idea who they are, they'll seem familiar to you since you've seen them
00:39 before.
00:40 But with all the fun, some of the combat might fall short.
00:43 GameSpot reports that WrestleQuest relies heavily on QTE, quick time events.
00:48 Every character's basic attacks require one or two perfectly timed button presses.
00:54 This and your character could either get countered or their attack will deal less damage.
00:58 The game doesn't score a perfect rating, but it makes for a memorable wrestling RPG experience
01:04 developed by a small indie studio, and credit goes where credit is due.
01:09 With some patching, WrestleQuest could be as glorious as its cast of characters, with
01:13 numerous wrestling references and callbacks, this game is a treat to any fan of the sport.
