    Wrestling Empire, created by MDickie, is a wrestling game available on Switch, Steam and mobile devices. It's a very unique release and not like anything else you've played in the past. The game has a strong emphasis on backstage happenings, you'll have the oppurtunity to roam around the city before your matches (you can visit the hotel, the hospital and even the cemetery) and the game itself features TONS of (unlicensed) superstars that you'll instantly recognize. Career mode allows you to go through an entire career of a single superstar while a booking mode is also available, allowing you to take over a whole promotion while trying to rise up against the competition.
    This video is completely unscripted, its my first playthough of the game where I learn about the mechanics and modes as I go along.

    Ryan, I know you've said before your not good without a script, but to be completely honest I loved this. No script right off the top of your head was a wonderful look into your personality. Yeah I can tell you were not 100% comfortable with it but I really enjoyed this and will definitely be checking this game out. "I respect you Bio-Man."

    If you wanna change promotion, just keep challenging someone from the promotion you want to be in, they will decline the offer the first couple of times but if you persist they'll accept. Once you defeat them in the match their booker would probably reach out to you with an offer to work for the promotion.
    Pro tip: it's always better to challenge the world champ of the promotion because as soon as you get there they'll start your feud with the champ and eventually you'll get a title shot sooner.

  • @BainesMkII
    @BainesMkII Před 2 lety +40

    Having played Wrestling Empire, there were so many things I wanted to say during the playthrough. One problem is that the manual honestly isn't that good. It leaves out a fair amount of important information, while other info is delivered in a confusing manner or is buried within the version changes list at the end. (Some of this is apparently intentional, such as deliberately obscuring what determines counters.) Stats are very important, and the game doesn't do a good job of explaining how to manage them. Some moves can be modified with additional button or direction presses, such as being able to continue to kick someone after applying an arm bar. For the commentator match, while I don't recall if you are allowed to skip to the end (via the in-game menu), you can interfere in it directly to either get the results you desired or to just mess up an opponent that you don't like.

    If "Streets of Rage" and "Final Fight" taught me anything, it's that eating food out of smashed garbage bins on the street is only BENEFICIAL to your health! Ahmed is only just proving that!
    I also loved this unscripted video! It might be a format for you to revisit with some video game playing again; it gives me a bit more of an immersive experience hearing you figure a wrestling game out on the spot!
