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. ### 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 ### 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. ### 4/5 — Could be better but could be worse *2026-01-26, version 1.3.8* Reminds me of a build a block version of wrestling with a team lol if that makes any sense but not bad at all tho at the same time caught myself playing 30+ mins easy ### 4/5 — Game keeps resetting *2026-01-20, version 1.3.8* When is the next update coming because the events keep closing the app? It’s hard enough to get the cards you want without spending money on events and diamonds now we can’t even grind to stay in the top 100 because the game keeps crashing ### 3/5 — Alright *2025-11-23, version 1.3.7* I like the game. Always glitching or crashing though so gets annoying. Update: still crashes a lot. When watching ads for bonuses will make freeze. Can’t remember when it ran smoothly ### 3/5 — Event *2025-11-07, version 1.3.7* Events crashes alot ### 1/5 — Issues *2025-09-15, version 1.3.7* I have played this game for about a year now and was enjoying it until I had issues. I am now unable to play the live events. I am unable to connect to it. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2025-09-02, version 1.3.7* Crashes so much it won’t even let me play anymore. I love this game but it hasn’t been updated to fix bugs in months and now crashes every time I go on, even before I try to do anything. It’s incredibly frustrating and makes me sad because I liked the game so much before it started doing this. ### 2/5 — PvP won’t reset *2025-08-27, version 1.3.7* Come back to the game every couple of months and a pvp season won’t reset and just loads and crashes the game so no money for you ### 1/5 — Needs Work!! *2025-08-19, version 1.3.7* Enjoy the game, app crashes waaayyyy too much though. ### 3/5 — Alright *2025-08-18, version 1.3.7* I like the game. Always glitching or crashing though so gets annoying ### 1/5 — Horrible developer *2025-07-30, version 1.3.7* Game is fun enough, but just like every other game they’ve worked on, eastside seems to have given up on updates. New levels have said coming soon for like a month now. This game has become the always sunny game, but at least that one took a few years before the updates stopped ### 1/5 — Insanely boring *2025-07-29, version 1.3.7* Can’t believe they got rid of figure fighters for this ### 1/5 — Boring asl *2025-07-17, version 1.3.7* Nothing to do ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 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 ### 1/5 — Always Crashing! *2026-02-12, version 1.3.8* I used to enjoy the game, app crashes waaayyyy too much though if it even opens at all. ### 1/5 — Fun when it worked *2026-02-04, version 1.3.8* This company is notorious for abandoning their games, but they stopped supporting this one in record time. There hasn’t been a new level released in months. It would still be fun to play to finish unlocking cards I haven’t gotten yet, except different parts of the game are broken now. Events glitch like crazy and you can’t even watch an ad to get bonuses anymore. The ad plays but you can’t tap on the x to close it once it comes up. Guess I’ll go on and delete ### 1/5 — Always Crashing! *2026-01-06, version 1.3.8* Enjoy the game, app crashes waaayyyy too much though. And tech support is completely useless!! ### 1/5 — Poor game. *2025-12-23, version 1.3.8* Poor game. Kept crashing when try to claim a prize. Then when deleted and reloaded all old game data lost. Don’t bother better things to do with your time. ### 1/5 — Game doesn’t load *2025-12-22, version 1.3.8* Gets stuck at loading content. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no change. Dead game ### 1/5 — Great source material awful game *2025-11-19, version 1.3.7* Mindless and riddled with abhorrent in app purchases that are practically required. “PvP” makes zero sense and feels completely random ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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! 😎 ### 5/5 — It’s aight *2025-10-02, version 1.3.7* The art reminds me of those adult animated “comedies”, game play is nothing new. It’s not bad or good it’s just eh ### 5/5 — Excellent jeu ! *2025-07-08* Très bon jeu, j’y joue tout les jours ! ### 5/5 — One consistent issue *2025-06-20, version 1.3.7* Game keeps crashing ### 5/5 — Shanes review *2025-05-31, version 1.3.7* This game is so much fun it’s so relaxing. I love WWE. I love AEW and TNA triple a I love everything. Hopefully this game becomes a very good success. Have a lovely time and make more aew games. ### 5/5 — Help *2025-05-09, version 1.3.7* I’m on episode 91 and can’t start a match cause I can’t get cash. ### 5/5 — Fantastic Game for any Wrestling Fan *2025-02-27, version 1.3.6* I love this game. I’m always making progress and building up my account to be stronger. It gives me entertainment all throughout the day. Perfect for any downtime or just to relax. Great community. ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-02-08, version 1.3.5* Five stars great game ### 5/5 — Very Fun *2025-01-15* I am new to this style of game. I figured I’d check it out as I love AEW. At first I didn’t really understand the appeal but after a few hours I was hooked. It’s hard to stop playing. I haven’t spent anything yet and played a ton already. ### 5/5 — AEW Rise to the Top *2024-11-25, version 1.3.0* I Like it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
