Most wrestling games, understandably, emphasise high-action brawls in and around the ring. Few wrestling games attempt their hand at something significantly new, the way WrestleQuest is trying with its turn-based approach. While the RPG may not appear to be an obvious choice, devoted fans of the genre have been making their presence known for years. Last year, a wrestling fan used a sign that emerged at AEW Rampage to defend the plot of Kingdom Hearts. That event continues a pattern in which fans hold up placards to debate the quality of other popular JRPGs. Such enthusiasts may find a few more of their favourite things in one easy package with WrestleQuest. If nothing else, the game’s release may be a memorable occasion.
