### 2/5 — Meh

*2026-08-02, version 1.3.8*

Always been issues with game. Still play it, but lack on updates, continuous bugs and seems lack of care to even update the bonus as it is an old wrestler now in wwe. Lots of times where certain functions don’t work and when I send in a help ticket I do not hear back anymore

### 3/5 — Meh

*2026-07-21, version 1.3.8*

Always been issues with game. Still play it, but lack on updates, continuous bugs and seems lack of care to even update the bonus as it is an old wrestler now in wwe.

### 1/5 — The game is becoming boring

*2026-06-23, version 1.3.8*

1. I have had many problems with this game like one it way out of date. 2.the game keeps crashing like I’m fine on the normal side but once I try do the event the game crashes.
3.im about to uninstall the game cause it is just becoming trash do better .

### 1/5 — Needs to update

*2026-06-06, version 1.3.8*

Can’t level up any on my crew members because the shop only gives like the same 4 to 5  people all the time and I can’t level them up anymore and there needs to be update for this game to fix all the glitches

### 2/5 — The Game is on Auto-Pilot.

*2026-05-31, version 1.3.8*

I like the game. It is good for passing time. However, AEW: Rise to the Top is on borrowed time. The game makers aren’t making anymore levels pass episode 106. They aren’t making new characters (e.g. Mercedes Mone, Juice Robinson). They aren’t making anymore creative upgrades. They aren’t advertised on Dynamite or Collision anymore. They are still making money on the game from players in factions that strive to win the PVP events. The #1 team in total power spends money buying Gems, and powering up player cards. When the money the game takes in goes below a threshold, there will be an announcement that this game will cease to be playable anymore. Just like the Figure Fighter game.

### 3/5 — Updates

*2026-05-28, version 1.3.8*

My game has been stuck on episode 106 complete! Coming soon..for about 6 months now

### 1/5 — Worst graphics n game ever

*2026-05-28*

Wwe2k25 is much better in play wise and even how it presents the true essence of wrestling

**Developer response:** Thanks for that feedback regarding the look of the game and how it represents wrestling in general. We share that feedback with the development team for them to consider for the future of the game.

### 2/5 — Needs to be Updated or dropped.

*2026-05-12, version 1.3.8*

I’ve been paying this game for a few years and it needs to be updated or dropped at this point. No new content. No new characters. Nothing modern. Just nothing shaped as nothing.

### 5/5 — Love this and power rangers!!

*2026-04-18, version 1.3.8*

These are amazing games! I love the nostalgia, the collecting and upgrading and battling! You guys did a fantastic job with all aspects of these games top notch I have zero complaints. Would you please think about making a ninja Turtles game just like these and Pokémon that would be so awesome added to my game collection thanks for listening! 😎

### 1/5 — Game is on autopilot

*2026-02-24, version 1.3.8*

I really enjoyed this game but there hasn’t been a new episode released in months. It’s frustrating because you are asked continue to collect resources but you’re unable to use said resources when you have reached the end of all the episodes
