This is in my opinion, the greatest wrestling game ever made, I literally have every wrestler I could ever want from the 1930s all the way to February 2023s WWE roster, I have the most obscure wrestlers from mainstream to the indies and former gimmicks and outfits of iconic wrestlers with 4 attire slots for each wrestler all done by the fantastic creators on the steam work shop! Some of which have been fire pro creators for over a decade! Aswell as editing and tweaking existing creations and occasionally making some of my own! I played through the fighting road junior heavyweight season mode and completed it so I could at least say I completed this game in some form, my thing with wrestling games is I won’t log it unless I’ve beaten one of the modes the game offers, so that doesn’t necessarily mean all the games modes just one of them is what qualifies for me personally and since you technically can’t complete wrestling games (kinda can kinda can’t) I count it for myself anyways, fighting road jr heavyweight was pretty bland to be honest, for the last few matches I just got myself disqualified just so I could get to the end credits so ugh to that.

This game has the best gameplay it feels the most like wrestling to me in a wrestling game , best customisation, best gameplay presentation, best customisation (thank you steam community) and best pacing I’ve ever seen in a wrestling game, I’ve played this since 2017, I adore it, it’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a wrestling game, I actually prefer playing matches to simming them and have had some classic 100 percent rated matches , this game is endless in my opinion, I can literally have every wrestler who ever lived organised into there respective promotions and eras (which I’ve done mostly) customising your own ring? Custom aprons and ring mats, custom mp3 entrance music, custom animations? Custom entrances? This game has it all, once you learn the controls the game is so addicting and no two matches are the same, you want a challenge? You’ll get it! You want to work a 5 star classic? Go ahead! You can sell and let your opponent do moves to you and kick out for those dramatic near falls! WWE games come and go but this game and fire pro returns I always come back to for its timeless feel and forever addicting and engaging gameplay! Can’t say anything about the other fighting roads and I started skipping through the cutscenes for the junior one I did complete like half way though, it was such a drag! But maybe that’s just me, you don’t need to play them nor does it force you to, I did it to at least be able to say in some capacity I completed this game so I at least feel more qualified to review it (I don’t log games I haven’t completed) anyways that’s my review!
