A turn-based wrestling game called WrestleQuest is on its way from Skybound Games, and new video shows off «cage match» gameplay that will make appearances along the hero's journey.

The adversaries continue to exchange blows as Randy climbs the wall before one of his opponents rips him away from his perch. Everything gets a bit wild from that point, but that's wrestling.
