    The monetization in the game is widely criticized as excessively aggressive and cash grab-oriented, often hindering progression without significant real-money spending or extensive grinding. While some players find the gameplay enjoyable, the heavy reliance on costly microtransactions and intrusive ads detracts from the overall experience.

    • “Insane replay-ability value, no ads unless you want to change the outcome of a match, and haven't had to spend a dime.”
    • “When the game works, it's fun as can be but monetization right now is a bit rough around the edges.”
    • “Though I do think the monetization could be a little less aggressive as a gamer on a budget these days.”
    • “Wrestlers I've purchased with in-game money I grinded days for just disappear, plus an in-app purchase I made for characters are no longer in my roster.”
    • “They took a fun concept from previous installments and turned it into a soulless cash grab that's impossible to progress without spending a lot of real-world money, or unrealistic grinding in game.”
    • “Game attempts to clean up a lot of older UI but it's turned into a cash grab where you pretty much have to pay to get any of the staples of the original games.”

    The gameplay is generally addictive, varied, and improves on previous entries, offering a fair progression system without pay-to-win elements. However, some criticize mechanics like morale and monetization, which can slow pacing or harm the gameplay experience. Overall, while the core gameplay is engaging and enjoyable, certain design and reward balance issues detract from its appeal.

    • “The game is endlessly playable and replayable, with many additions from previous games. There are more premium hooks, but they rarely feel required since there's no nonsense PvP or pay-to-win mechanics. The currency distribution is generous as long as you actually play the game.”
    • “The gameplay loop is addicting, fun, and varied, with lots of unlockables that you can get just by playing.”
    • “It is the most mechanically fun game from Checkmate to date.”
    • “Morale is an awful addition; I see no upside to this mechanic.”
    • “I enjoy the game as I have the others, but the gameplay to rewards ratio is awful.”
    • “Eras has missed the mark in a way where the monetization system has harmed gameplay.”

    Users praise the game's unique and character-rich art style, appreciating its distinctiveness compared to typical AI-generated art and previous iterations. However, some find the UI cluttered and less visually appealing compared to earlier games in the series. Overall, the graphics are seen as clean and visually engaging, though opinions vary on the comic-like style and interface design.

    • “I love the new art style for this game, it adds a lot of character to some wrestlers that looked a little bland in the old art style.”
    • “The art style is really nice in the sea of AI art used these days.”
    • “Clean graphics, plays similar to Modern and 80s Mania, overall great job.”
    • “The UI is too clustered compared to the simple UI design of MMWGM. The art style has become too comic looking.”
    • “I prefer the MMWGM art style.”
    • “The art style has become too comic looking, and the UI feels cluttered compared to previous games.”
  • grinding

    Users find the grinding in the game to be excessively tedious and punishing, especially for free-to-play players due to costly progression and mechanics like the "fatigue tax." While some acknowledge grinding as a common aspect in such games, many feel the experience is overly grind-heavy and feels like a cash grab, making meaningful progress difficult without spending real money.

    • “Everything is more expensive than before, incredibly unfriendly to free-to-play players, and the game punishes grinding.”
    • “They took a fun concept from previous installments and turned it into a soulless cash grab that's impossible to progress without spending a lot of real-world money, or unrealistic grinding in-game.”
    • “The game is called 'Eras of Wrestling' but actually experiencing the eras part is annoying with how difficult and grindy it is to collect wrestlers, so you will end up running the same rosters across eras.”

    The story mode is essential for unlocking key characters and offers meaningful gameplay, but players desire more control over storyline segments and better integration of promo skills. Progress loss and randomization in hiring wrestlers during storylines frustrate users, highlighting issues with saving and fairness. Overall, the story aspect is engaging but marred by technical problems and limited player agency.

    • “You have to play storyline mode to get the major characters in the game.”
    • “Some storylines have no wrestlers good at promos (new gen puro, for example), so mic segments are just wasted.”
    • “The storylines option is great.”
    • “Was well into third year, game crashed with blue screen covering all my current wrestlers. Tried to reinstall game, lost a lot of my progress and cards earned. Had to restart my phone twice to get my gamer profile back. I don't have enough wrestlers to complete my full week of shows. Lost my earned refs and commentators progress on storylines in two different eras. I was very upset as it's more expensive to play this version of creative, and I had to start again from scratch and re-earn my previous progress.”
    • “Keep spending gold on storylines and I have enough shards, but being allowed to hire the new wrestlers is completely random.”
    • “Have spent a lot of gold on the tag team storyline and I have enough shards, yet I still only get to hire half the tag team at random times.”

    The game's stability is marred by frequent bugs and glitches, leading to a frustrating experience for players. Additionally, customer support appears unresponsive or unhelpful, exacerbating user dissatisfaction. Overall, the game is considered too unstable until issues are addressed.

    • “I'm about done with this buggy game and their ignorant customer service. I've actually spent money on this and have either received zero help when I've emailed support, gotten a snarky answer, or no follow-up after an acknowledgement.”
    • “Very buggy game, would not recommend until the bugs get fixed.”
    • “Some minor glitches and jank.”
