This is without a doubt the worst 'game' I've ever seen and most incomplete project to grace Greenlight. BUILD 0.0471. There's no 'game' here. There is nothing to do.
Buying this product on Steam is like investing in a very bad pyramid scheme with such wild goals that any sane person would see that it's a too good to be true scam, and of course more research digs up just that. A web of deceit, disappoinments and pandering for state funding brings this 12 year old project to Steam now inorder to drum up more funding because some people just don't respect that other work hard for their money and think they can make a dime off whatever they want.
You should only purchase this if you are interested in a wrestling badge on your profile because that's all it's really good for.
Pro Wrestling X in its current stages should of never seen the light of day. The current product for sale on store, build 0.0461, has nothing to offer. Even the Road Map to 1.0 if completed shouldn't be allowed on Steam store since it is so incomplete. Although I love the concept I feel I must give a fair analysis on what is available.
Of course like any early access game there are ambitious plans down the road for the project, but at $9.99 the consumer should expect a bit more than what has been presented here. At the current stages there is nothing you can do with the game. At least 5 languages are presented; English, French, German, Spanish, and Japanese.
Since there is so little offered I can quickly run through what you would experience. You can only select game or look at controls. Going into a match sets you as black mask against blue face. Controls are about 4 buttons, once in the game you will notice they only have 1 animation for strike (roundhouse right.) There is no guard button but you are somehow able to break out of grapples. Or should I say grapple, nothing is explained in this game, so you walk up, grapple and after bashing random buttons they will eventually do a vertical suplex (is it brainbuster if you selected Japanese?)
That's about all you can do in the game, there is no pin count on the screen and without sound all I can tell is that I am at least hooking the leg, but getting in any position for that is so difficult. You will not be able to run a proper match at all. Opponents just kinda shimmy around back and forth hovering over the mat going through their movement animation.
I often find after I suplex the other guy, most of the time, he will get up faster than me. One time I couldn't get up and apparently with no ground attacks the computer stood over me flailing, occasionally spinning on his axis like a top. I guess he didn't want to pin me or just doesn't pin because I would walk away only to come back to the same sight. Only in wrestling can you hurt yourself more than your opponent.
Still this idea has a lot of potential, this game can be forgotten. Surprisingly older versions of the game looked a lot more complete, although more 2d looking in graphics, with cool user mods adding real superstars into the game and actually playing out full matches.
As a working package is updated onto the store I will adjust my review of course but as this project has been in development for over a decade and the lead 'developer' has no programming experience. Just reflect that if awarded the time and money that was handed to him (250k by CDN government) you could of gone to school in that time, gotten an education, not only to make this game but probably be a few projects down the line.
The thing with wrestling fans is they are easily complacent and very nostalgic. This presentation simply capitalizes, good intentions aside the results is clear- some random guy who comes out of the wood work every now in then when his promotion needs money.
Just like real indy wrestling this indy wrestling game stinks of the same never pay your workers, empty promises, 0 production value, while the guy setting up the gig skirts out the side with all the cash collected at the door.
