## What is Wrestling Revolution?

For the first time in 2D, start your own career either side of the curtain - with wrestling and booking modes available in one epic game! Create your own star and embark on an endless career full of possibilities, as you attempt to make all the right moves backstage as well as in the ring. Lose yourself in a gigantic universe of 400 wrestlers spread across 9 different promotions - and as many of them in the ring as your device can handle!

When you want to get serious, upgrade to "Pro" status to enjoy each career mode at its best - starting with anyone, anywhere. You can also make the world your own by saving your changes to all characters and pitting them against each other in "Exhibitions" where YOU make the rules!

### 5/5 — Peak Childhood game

*2026-08-18, version 2.1.0*

WE all played this game once, I still play this whenever I lose wifi, or don’t want to use data. If this game updated nowadays, with IOS 26 compatibility and better graphics, it’ll be the best mobile game.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-07-09, version 2.1.0*

My kid went to hospital

### 1/5 — Zero programming

*2026-06-25, version 2.1.0*

Had to delete the game because I was given one level where I had to fight some guy from super Lucha Libre and I physically could not get near the guy because the computer were just beyond extreme mode even though I put it a very easy. I physically cannot get past it because the game was broken so I had to delete it.

### 1/5 — Horrible controls

*2026-06-17, version 2.1.0*

The controls are unclear and make zero sense. Reversals barely work, grappling barely works, game is unplayable at this point

### 1/5 — Purchases

*2026-06-14, version 2.1.0*

Wouldn’t let me refund a purchase I made

### 1/5 — Not original enough

*2026-06-09, version 2.1.0*

This game is not 3d nor easy to pin nor easy to control.

*2026-05-30*

### 5/5 — Wresting Revolution

*2026-05-18, version 2.1.0*
