*2020-04-24*

I’m happy to have such a good game I’ve played this in the arcade it’s got a cool introduction with the national anthem and the announcer doing play by play. Thanks for such a good game

### 5/5 — Fun throwback to old arcade wrestling

*2020-01-07*

I got this yesterday and have played it a lot since then. I like it a lot. It’s simple to pick up, but has just enough strategic depth and challenge to keep it interesting. Once you get the tactics down, it’s fun and satisfying to apply them. This is perfect game to just pick up and play for a few minutes.

This is a direct homage to the OLD wrestling game Mat Mania, both in style and play. Your wrestler fights through 5 guys to become champ and then it goes on infinitely at higher difficulty until you lose (at least I think so, I got to 30). The opponents have minor differences in moves that do matter.

It runs super smooth with no loading or crashes. If you pay 1.99 you can use all the other wrestlers, which I did and is really fun. El Diablo crushes the competition! That is the only purchase available and there are no ads or other nonsense; it was worth it.

Couple of nitpicks
- Beardo as champ is kind of disappointing. Why not just keep Bruiser Brody from Mat Mania? He was an iconic part of that game!
- There should be a little ceremony or something when you become champ, like in the original game.

Otherwise gameplay is perfect for what it is...highly recommended!

### 1/5 — Stupid!

*2019-12-26*

Stupid!

### 5/5 — I like the game

*2019-11-07*

Maybe make it where you can actually touch diablo though instead of him just doing whatever he wants and you not being able to land a single hit on him

### 5/5 — Awesome wrestling game

*2019-03-03*

The iap is fixed and this game is something that I’ve needed on iOS for a long time. Great game, very well done controls, and great graphics to make this the best of the best. Kudos devs 👍🏻👍🏻
