## What is Wrestling Empire?

The lightweight champion of mobile wrestling is back with higher resolution visuals and a smoother frame rate, whilst still retaining the retro style that puts the fun first with no loading times! See if you can keep up with the pace, as new features and effects make wrestling even easier to play yet even more satisfying to master.

Create your own star and embark on a career to encounter up to 350 opponents across 10 different rosters in the sport’s most epic shared universe. Make the right moves backstage as well as in the ring to fight for your worth and retire with a career worth remembering. You can now "take it outside" with a whole other roaming mode that challenges you to take responsibility for what happens behind the scenes in real-time!

When you’re ready to get serious, upgrade to a “Pro” subscription to stop relying on sponsors and make the world your own by saving your changes to each character. The most intuitive match setup process in wrestling is then available to create dream matches before your very eyes – roping in as many characters & props as you can handle!

The original game now also includes a whole other booking mode at no extra cost, which challenges you to run your own promotion with a territorial twist! Assemble the best roster you can with the resources you have, and then travel the world trying to set attendance records everywhere you go. Present the right matches in the right way at the right time to maximize your impact on the ratings, whilst trying to keep a locker room full of egos from self-destructing. Everybody thinks they know better until it's time to do better...

### 5/5 — Aga

*2026-08-18, version 1.7.8*

This is poo

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-08-16, version 1.7.8*

I love this game but add oversells for example if u hit a stunner on a tall guy make the tall guy oversell it

### 3/5 — Why am I already injured on my first match 🤔

*2026-08-16, version 1.7.8*

After I finally finished making my character, I get ready for my first match, but in my entrance, my character is all cut bloody and beaten up. Can you explain that my Dicky it makes it so hard for me to win my first match when my character is injured when I didn’t even face any match at all yet. Please explain this because I literally had to make three new characters when I kept on losing matches because my character was injured when the was in matches and the first second the match starts my character is all caught up in bloody.

### 5/5 — German suplexes

*2026-08-16, version 1.7.8*

Please give us German suplexes like Benoit in no mercy also can we have kids with the females like in hard time .

### 1/5 — Game is nearly unplayable

*2026-08-15, version 1.7.8*

So many times where the computer was able to reverse moves, but I could barely,ye reverse any of their moves. The camera work is also terrible, sometimes I can’t even see the ring, and it won’t even let me fight back sometimes! Overall pretty bad game, and I don’t suggest playing it.

### 5/5 — Make the update!!

*2026-08-14, version 1.7.8*

The developer should add new stages and a system that allows subscribers to choose and modify the stage, as well as finishers like the Sweet Chain Music and the long jacket like the Undertaker's, for example, and expand the locations on the map, add other locations, and modify the backstage to make it an enjoyable version of the game.

### 5/5 — This is the worst game ever

*2026-08-13, version 1.7.8*

The game is amazing your wondering why in the title I have “this is the worst game ever” well it’s a reference

### 5/5 — Divine

*2026-08-12, version 1.7.8*

They should add it where you could buy a house and you can have all full career and you can change. You can customize your moves to the way you want them And other match types And all some new moves

### 5/5 — Underrated

*2026-08-12, version 1.7.8*

### 5/5 — Amazing Game + Suggestion

*2026-08-05, version 1.7.8*
