Image: MobyGames

Wrestle War

Mash dem buttons


Genre: fighting - wrestling

Publisher: Sega

Year: 1990

System: MD PAL


Gameplay Score: 2

Gameplay Notes:

Pure button masher. Camera swings around wildly. Objective is to get opponent's health bar to zero and then pin them which will guarantee a victory. Only two attacks - punch and kick. C to hold and then mash A and/or B to either throw to the ground or into the ropes. Decent movement in the slightly askew camera. Ok hit detection...for a wrestling game.


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

What level design? This is an arcade game through and through. One fight after the next.


Theme Score: 4

Theme Notes:

Arcade feel. Quick intros and end of fight text. Not much to look at but I love the lack of pomp. Just jump in and fight.


Art Style Score: 4

Art Style Notes:

Huge sprites. Not much animation but I love the big beefy designs. Unfrotuatnely the right 1/3rd of the screen is used for an enormous HUD, making the playing area quite small.


Audio Score: 4

Audio Notes:

Solid, impactful sound effects. Ok music


Overall Score: 45

Review ID: 6091
