WrestleQuest Gameplay Shows Off Real Wrestlers As Your RPG Summons
The Calisto Project publisher Skybound Games and Log Jammers developer Mega Cat Studios have unveiled more footage of WrestleQuest, a retro-style turn-based RPG on Steam that features real wrestling legends as summons. This quirky new title was shown off during today’s Guerrilla Collective 3.0 livestream as part of Summer Game Fest. The large game festival started Thursday and has highlighted several upcoming triple-A blockbusters, smaller indie projects, and even a few of Netflix Games’ upcoming TV show-inspired mobile titles.
Wrestling and video games have always been a powerful tag team, with many games based on the unique mix of athletics and scripted drama that pro wrestling provides. 2022 in particular seems to be a banner year for wrestling-based video games, as WWE 2K22 was recently released to warm reviews after a delay back in March. Additionally, rival promotion All-Elite Wrestling is supposedly looking to enter the virtual arena with the more simplified AEW Fight Forever sometime later this year. While both these titles are 3D, real-time fighting games centered around recreating the action of a modern-day wrestling match, a third squared-circle sim is turning to the retro days of the sport for an experience similar to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest titles.
