Old School

**** ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

this game is well made and fun. but i can already see critics not liking it for not being the generic modern game title all you need to do is turn off your brain and have fun

As a big fan of Wrestling Empire this one is sadly hard to recommend. It's basically more of a chore to play than anything else. They give you this deep wresting character builder only to punish you any time you do any fighting. The emphasis is on running from class to class all the time where you just sit down, hold an object and hold taunt to use it once in a while, or answer a question once in a blue moon. Then there's all these odd grading penalties for not doing something that was vaguely requested, having to deal with NPC's constantly taking you away from what you're doing to address something they're telling you, and having to deal with your energy constantly draining and needing to sleep off your fatigue, then rinse and repeat. It's a very grindy and time consuming game where nothing really satisfying happens and progression always seems to be obstructed by some random event. I can always go back to Wrestling Empire and have some run, but with this, I wonder what the appeal is supposed to be.
