00:01If you grew up during the absolute wrestling craze of the 80s and 90s, remember having a big ol' box of action figures and happened to love the aesthetic of pixel art games, you're in luck.
00:11WrestleQuest is a nostalgic pixelated RPG set in the world of retro toys where wrestling is king.
00:17According to DualShockers, the game places you in the wrestling boots of two action figures who resemble but are legally distinct from pro wrestling legends Randy Macho Man Savage and Bret the Hitman Hart,
00:29as well as the various other action figures and plushies that make up their respective stables.
00:34Even if you have no idea who they are, they'll seem familiar to you since you've seen them before.
00:40But with all the fun, some of the combat might fall short.
00:43GameSpot reports that WrestleQuest relies heavily on QTE, quick-time events.
00:48Every character's basic attacks requires one or two perfectly timed button presses.
00:54Miss and your character could either get countered or their attack will deal less damage.
00:58The game doesn't score a perfect rating, but it makes for a memorable wrestling RPG experience developed by a small indie studio,
01:07and credit goes where credit is due.
01:09With some patching, WrestleQuest could be as glorious as its cast of characters.
01:13With numerous wrestling references and callbacks, this game is a treat to any fan of the sport.
