The gameplay has been generally well-received, with players enjoying the core loop and potential for multiplayer fun, though there are notable gaps and bugs, particularly with AI responsiveness. While there is optimism for future improvements and additional mechanics, some users feel the current gameplay could benefit from more variety and refinement. Overall, the foundation is solid, but enhancements are needed for a more polished experience.
“The gameplay, controls, and other essentials would work well into the future as it might be soon on the Switch.”
“The core gameplay loop has been a blast. I can see this becoming a fun game to sit down with people and play (or even just fight the AI sometimes).”
“Gameplay-wise, there's a lot of gaps yet to be filled, but based on what I've seen from the developer so far, I have faith it will only continue to get better.”
“There are some pretty serious bugs with the AI, making them still and unresponsive occasionally, and I think the gameplay could use something extra, be it more moves or mechanics.”
“Not gonna rip into the graphics and animation too much, as I have more things to say about the gameplay side of things.”

The graphics are intentionally simplistic and dated, featuring a barebones design that prioritizes functionality over visual fidelity. While the minimalist art style may not impress, it allows for a deep create-a-wrestler feature with easy workshop support for sharing creations. Overall, the graphical appearance is flat and lacks texture, but it does not detract significantly from the gameplay experience.
“The graphics are barebones on purpose, but the create-a-wrestler feature is passably deep enough with a bit of imagination regarding the minimalist design. Your creations have workshop support from the start, making downloading and sharing your custom characters super easy.”
“Simple graphics, a great roster of fictional characters, and enough modes of fun.”

“Last of all, the music should be nice and catchy, and the sound effects should pack a punch.”
“The music is simple and not overbearing, which I really like.”
“In the Warhorse Arena, one side of the speakers is shaking while playing music, but the other side isn't working at all!”
“The music in the game feels repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“The sound mixing is off; sometimes the music drowns out important sound effects, which can be frustrating.”
